I had never gone to the food centre at Chinatown. It was until this afternoon that I came to this place. I decided to try out the food from this stall because I heard that the food from this stall is good.First off, a dish of chee cheong fun and yam cake is what I had. The cuts of chee cheong fun are put on top of the pieces of yam cake. The yam cake and chee cheong fun are served with sesame oil, chili sauce and dark sweet sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds that make the dish appetising. The
First off, a dish of chee cheong fun and yam cake is what I had. The cuts of chee cheong fun are put on top of the pieces of yam cake. The yam cake and chee cheong fun are served with sesame oil, chili sauce and dark sweet sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds that make the dish appetising. The yam cake is pale purple and does not have any cube of yam appearing on its surface. It is soft and springy. It has a slight yam taste. The chee cheong fun is factory made. It is smooth but not as soft and springy as handmade ones. However, the sesame oil, chili sauce and dark sweet sauce add flavours to the dish. Hence, together with the yam cake, the chee cheong fun tastes better with all three of these.
If yam cake and chee cheong fun is not enough, a glutinous rice dumpling is included in the list of what I had for lunch too. The dumpling is unwrapped and cut into pieces before serving. It is stir-fried glutinous rice dumpling with salted egg yolk. The glutinous rice on the surface is brown and looks oily and glossy. The rice is sticky and chewy. The meat in the dumpling is minced. That surprises me because I thought the meat should come in big chunks. Nonetheless, it still has a bit of its meaty flavour but is a bit too hard to chew. The chestnut is soft and becomes a gritty mash in my mouth. The salted yolk is crumbly and not so golden yellow. However, it is best to have a salted egg yolk in the dumpling. The egg yolk is not too salty. It adds its unique eggy flavour to the dumpling. Well, I have never had such nice food before. The dishes looks and tastes good but can be improved from my point of view. I do not mind coming there once more.
