Prawn Noodles  Smile Aug 15, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean Chinese | Coffeeshop

Prawn noodles or Fish soup? a decision I have to make every time I visit this coffee shop.

Both the prawn noodles and fish soup stalls are very popular and there will always be long queues in front of the stalls.

Decided to go for prawn noodles this time round. Flavourful stock from prawn and pork with succulent pork ribs, fresh prawns and tender pork liver at $4, cheap and nice!

Topped up an additional $0.50 and you can add a big portion of vegetables to your prawn noodles.

Some expectation management, protocol and tips reference will allow you to enjoy the nice Dim Sum in Victor's Kitchen.

Scallop, sausage carrot cake with XO Sauce XO酱干贝腊味萝卜糕@$4. One of Victor's Kitchen specialities and authentic Hong Kong's Dim Sum. Soft carrot cake in its simplicity with complimenting black sauce. Slight spiciness and added fragrance of the XO sauce contrasted and brought out the taste of the radish.

 
YouTiao Cheong Fun or "Za Leong"@$3.50. The fried you-tiao here is crispy and yet soft, which is much better than those hard ones offered in some restaurants.

 
Golden Egg Yolk Lava Bun @$4.0 for 3 buns. Golden savoury egg yolk lava flowing out as you break apart the steamed fluffy bun. Loved the consistency of the lava, not too watery nor too lumpy. The custard combined with fragrant salted egg yolk was simply yummy.

 
Hong Kong Summer Ice Tea @$3. One of the best milk tea we had. One of the most "Kao", smooth, tasty and fragrant milk tea.

 
Tip: avoid weekend or be early to beat the queue. Else expect to wait for at least 20 min for a seat.

Squeezy small dining area, be prepared to make way for people while you are eating. Since there is no service charge, be contented that the staffs set the table and bring you your food. Don't expect smile or attention from the busy staffs. Don't be alarmed to hear "loud conversation" among the staffs now and then.

Stir Fried Vegetables @ Wei Xiang Smile Jun 24, 2012

Categories : Hawker Centre

Not every Cze Char store can offer a nice simple stir fried vegetables. We will usually order a simple stir fried vegetables from this store to fulfill our dietary fiber requirements.

A simple stir fried vegetables with garlic cost around $6. Loved the gravy where Chinese wine was added to enhance the taste. They will also topped up with lots of deep fried shallots which complement the vegetables.

For a more flavourful stir fried vegetables, order the stir fried vegetables with seafood which has an added sweetness from the seafood.

"Follow the queue" had always been a safe bet to find good food, just that some time investment is required. We followed the queue in front of Western Barbeque stall at Old Airport Road and were impressed by their pork chop and cutlet.

We were glad that they have opened a new branch at ABC Brickworks Food Centre so that residents in the west can also have easy access to great food. smile
There are a few popular western food stalls at ABC Market, but their pork cutlet still stands out among them.

The set comes with fries, a bun and baked beans. We usually add a fried egg with the gooey egg yolk to go with the fries. The normal set cost $5.50 while $6 with an additional egg. Although slightly expensive in a hawker centre, but it is still quite worth it as the portion is quite big.

 
The fries are the thicker version which you can taste both the crispy exterior and soft potato within. Personally, I still prefer the thinner version and enjoy looking for that few thin crispy fries from the generous portion of fries.

We had tried their pork chop and pork cutlet. The pork chop was nicely grilled and it was served with garlic sauce, which really goes well with the pork chop.

Their pork cutlet is even better. It is not the usual pork cutlet where you deep fried a piece of pork coated with bread crumbs. The piece of pork was lightly coated with a flavourful nice batter, not sure what are the ingredients but it really enhanced the pork. Bread crumbs are not required as the pork cutlet is already very crispy with the nice deep fried batter.

The soft bun with creamy butter is quite nice as well. The portion of the set is usually too much for me and I will just leave the soft bun for later.

For take away, they will just pack the fries with the baked beans which will make the fries a bit soggy. We will usually just ask them to omit the baked beans since we don't really fancy them, this will keep your fries crispy.

The service is quite prompt, no long wait. The auntie serving is quite friendly as well.

Craving for some fish soup? Be prepared to queue for 30 minutes if you want to have it during peak hours as there will be more than 10 persons queuing in front of you.

Whenever we want to have the fish soup, we will try to go early. Previously, 15 minutes earlier will be enough, but recently, we have to go at least 30 minutes earlier in order to avoid the long queue. Thinking of going later instead? Do note that the queue will still be there around 2pm, but shorter. Do consider switching to the nice prawn noodles stall just besides it if the queue is just too long.

The stall owner will start to cook the fish soup only after you have placed your order, which is one of the reasons for the long queue and good quality as well. Besides the usual noodles, thick or thin Mee hoon, you can also try the thin rice vermicelli (mian xian) or fried yee mien.

They offered fresh and fried fish slice. The fried fish are nicely fried with substantial chunk of fish meat within the crisply fried coating. The soup is flavourful that you don't really need any soy sauce, just a few slices of the chilli to add spiciness to your fish soup.

We will go for fish soup whenever we feel guilty of gluttony as fish soup is always associated with healthy food - light, fresh fish full of omega 3. But one of the reasons why this fish soup is so flavourful is the sinful deep fried scrambled egg. The oil and fluffy fried egg up the flavour of the fish soup while reducing the healthy level of the dish. But one thing for sure, no unhealthy MSG added like other fish soup stalls. We are happy to continue to assume that fish soups are suppose to be healthy and have it at least once per week lol

Service is what you will expect in a normal coffee shop. At least the boss and workers does not get impatient or start to scream at people just because their business is doing well.

Try the home made barley from the drink stall within the same coffee shop which is thick and nice.
