Mrupupup was curious when there was a long queue outside Nam Nam Noodle Bar at the basement of the Raffles City Shopping Mall. Mrupupup waited for the chance to try the Nam Nam Noodle Bar Vietnamese food - a casual food bistro by Les Amis Group. Well, pretty nice food. Mrupupup liked the beef slices pho noodle soup (range $7-$9 for pho soups) and the pork belly bun (more like pork slices in a large crispy croissant bread). There were other type of buns/bread filled with beef, pork or chicken ($6- $9). Pretty good and the best part was there was no MSG in the beef pho noodle soup. Well, the place was crowded and the chairs & tables were packed very closely to each other. Mrupupup could hear many conversations of work life, people gossiping of colleagues & friends, complaining of our stressful 'mouse' like existence on this small island and some happy moments between lovers. Nam Nam Noodle Bar berry nice, burp! One last thing, do try their iced Vietnamese coffee ($2.50) - thick and good. http://mrupupup.blogspot.sg/2013/04/nam-nam-noodle-bar-vietnamese-food.html

Mrupupup got to tell you - there in Blk 326 Serangoon Ave 3 is a coffee shop that has a very nice Zhi Cha store that sells good Chinese dishes. Zhi Cha means preparing food fried in a huge wok, very Singapore' style of eating. This coffee shop gets pretty crowded during meals times. Most of the people would be eating from the Zhi Cha store. Mrupupup tried out the Chinese dishes and had a great time with fellow friends. Dishes like mongolian pork ribs, seafood soup, fish in sauce, fried fish slices in a melon, fried rice, very tender chicken in cabbage leaves, yusheng dish and longan dessert. Prices range from $10 -$25 per dish. Totally very nice. Mrupupup liked the tender chicken in the cabbage and found it very interesting in taste. Yummysss!

Mrupupup tried the Suckao chocolate drink at Max Brenner Chocolate Bar at Esplanade Mall Singapore (#01-08). First time tried the suckao. Well, this drink was special. It was like a chocolate drink but deconstructed by Max Brenner. The Suckao would be served with chocolate bits (dark type), milk, metal straw to suck and a pot to mix the milk and chocolate. The milk could be top 3 times. Add the chocolate bits to the hot milk, wait for the chocolate to melt. Once the chocolate melt in the hot milk, drink up! Enjoy the taste of your own chocolate drink. If you bored and could not wait, you could take a few chocolate bits and chew them to satisfy your chocolate cravings! The suckao drink cost about $7.

Wooo.... Mrupupup had Texas Chicken at Nex Mall Singapore. Yummy fried chicken. Mrupupup loved Texas Chicken not only for their chicken, also for their biscuit. Really do not know how Texas Chicken chicken does it but the biscuit is really unique, buttery crispy on the outside, soft inside the biscuit and taste even better with mashed potato on it. Mrupupup had the No.1 set which came with 2 pieces of original fried chicken, biscuit and mashed potato and with coke (of course!) The set costs about $7.50. Mrupupup went to the Nex Mall outlet, well the place was a squeeze especially during peak hours of lunch or dinner. Well, Mrupupup surely enjoyed their fried chicken, do take note of the oily fatty chicken skin!

Mrupupup had satay at Satay Power (Stall No. 6) at Lau Pa Sat Festival Market located at Raffles Place, Singapore. Well, Satay Power stall did live up to its reputation and Mrupupup loved the juicy 'power' satay sticks of yummy meats. The satay sticks came with slices of beef, chicken and duck. First time Mrupupup tried duck meat on satay sticks. Each satay costs 60 cents per stick. Easily Mrupupup's group of friend spent $5 per person on eating satay with peanut curry sauce, onions and rice cakes. Yummy! Mrupupup also loved to see the satay man cooking over a hot charcoal oven to slowly cook the satay meat. Very nice! Satay is best with a good cup of milk tea (teh tarik!) or bandung (rose syrup milk drink!). Singapore is truly a food heaven on earth! Mrupupup just enjoy eating! Lau Pa Sat market satay stalls only opens late in the evening.
