Cheap nasi Smile Aug 16, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Hawker Centre | Noodles

Located just opposite bugis street, Albert centre has many delicacies. One of them is the nasi lemak at the second row corner. It always has a queue but is relatively fast.

I love nasi lemak! I usually order set 2. The rice is fragrant, chicken wing is crispy and tasty, the egg is running, peanuts and ikan billis is crunchy and well-fried. Most importantly, it only cost S$2.50. Super worth it! Sometimes, I will even have craving for this. I have a friend from Hong Kong who fell for nasi lemak because of this. There are other sets available and you can choose ala carte as well. They also have beehoon and noodles.

Thick sashimi OK Aug 16, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Sushi/Sashimi

Standing sushi bar, it has 2 outlets. One is at bras basah beside SAM and food for thought. On Mondays and Thursdays, their salmon sashimi is $3 for 5 pieces. It's no wonder there is always a long queue. Even when we reach there at 6.30pm, we still have to wait for 30 - 60mins.

Some of the other dishes like maki is quite expensive. The Don is still considered pretty reasonable. The service is ok, though they will ask if you need to order more if not they will pass the bill to you without you asking. This is their way of chasing customers away after they are done so that others can enter.

The sashimi is thick and juicy as shown in the photos. It is satisfying though it would be better if served cold. Usually I will get sick of it after 2 plates as more of it without other sushi to go along will be too much to take. The sashimi is fresh and worth it!

Fried fish soup Smile Aug 10, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Foochow | Restaurant | Porridge/Congee | Noodles

This is a fuzhou place but there's a small stall selling fish soup. It is not considered a restaurant because it is not air - conditioned. In such hot weather in Singapore during lunch, sometimes it is unbearable to dine there.

The fish soup is not bad, though the blanca's taste is better and sweeter. The fresh fish is also not as smooth and the skin of the fish is quite thick. However, what I want to recommend is the fried fish. The breaded coating is well - fried and inside the meat is tender. Unlike other fried fish which is dry, this one is not. Most importantly, the meat is quite thick, not those thin slices of fish which we can only taste the crust.

Overall, the soup is not bad and cost only S$4.50 per bowl.

Mama Miam Smile Aug 09, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : French | Japanese | Fusion

Miam miam, a Japanese fusion restaurant, similar to Shokudo. They have salads, breads, pasta, rice and desserts.

Been to the outlet at bugis junction for a few times and the food there is awesome. I would like to recommend the miam miam spagetti. It is stir fried with olive oil and onions, topped with an egg. Something different from the normal creamy or tomato based spagetti, nor is it the same as aglio olio. The egg on top is runny and very tempting. I'm always a fan of half boiled egg. Their standard of the runny egg is always consistently and never disappointing. Blending in the egg to the spagetti, it makes the spagetti not so dry and have a mild taste of the lingering egg yolk taste.
Another pasta I tried is the carbonara. Since it is a common pasta dish, I purposely ordered it to try their standard and taste of it. Indeed, it did not fail my expectation. The creamy sauce is tasty and not too much milk such that we get tired of the taste at the end of the meal. This is served with a runny egg yolk as well, and sausages. Both pastas are well - cooked, not too hard for my liking.

Last but not least, the dessert is not bad, their souffle etc. Everyone there has to order their famous french toast. The toast is sinfully topped with cream and maple syrup. However, because of these 2 ingredients, the well - toasted french bread is heavenly. Taste like pancakes it better. Definitely a must-try there!

Mains are less than 20 bucks, like normal restaurant rates though dessert is a bit pricey, 10+bucks. Service of the staff is not bad. But ice water has to be paid.

Overall, the experience is good.

Cheated 'seafood' set OK Aug 05, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Food Court

Amongst many kopitiams opened islandwide in Singapore, Kopi Seletar is one of the branches. Situated in Greenwich V, a 2 - storey neighbourhood centre along Seletar Road, this is another food court by Kopitiam. There is a wide variety of dishes to select from. There is ban mian, yong tau foo, Korean, Western, chicken rice, dumpling noodles and mixed vegetable rice etc.

During lunch time, shuttle buses from various companies will fetch their staff here for lunch so try to avoid the lunch crowd. In this small mall, there's not much affordable food except for this kopitiam and toast box beside. 2nd level is mainly restaurants.

I went to try the seafood stall at the very end. It seems to be owned by the same person as the mixed vegetable stall. The food they sell is like Zi char style, with fried rice, noodles, pork and chicken Thai style rice, and these wok rice. However, this one is not served in those silver woks, it comes in a normal plate.

On the menu are nice photos of the food they sell and vegetable can be added on to make it into a set. Each set cost S$5.80. I ate the thai style sweet and spicy chicken rice. The thai sauce is not bad, sweetness and spiciness is mixed equally, one is not covering the other's taste. The egg served is runny but you can tell that they reuse the oil to fry because it is dark brown in colour. To my disappointment is the vegetable, it is suppose to be added on to make up a set but they gave only a few strands and placed it together on the same plate. It seems like i'm eating the mixed vegetable rice but yet I cannot choose the dishes. And the mixed vegetable only cost S$3.50 for 2 meat and 1 vegetable.

If I disregard the appearance of the dish and just judge by the taste, it is still acceptable for a meal, but not justifiable for the cost. I could have eaten something else at the kopitiam.
