Whenever I knew that I was going to have a long day, I would avoid going to my regular Amoy hunt to da-bao. Though tons of cheap & nice food beckoned over there, it's no joke to be coated with a layer of "hawker-centre food" smell which would worsened as the day prolonged.And today was such a day.Thus I made a detour and walked towards Tanjong Pagar Xchange (just smacked right above the MRT Station) instead.

And today was such a day.
Thus I made a detour and walked towards Tanjong Pagar Xchange (just smacked right above the MRT Station) instead. The first "proper food" stall that greeted me was Coffee & Toast. I checked out the menu and decided to indulge in a bowl of laksa (takeaway).
The soup was a let-down. Though thick, it's sweet and not spicy at all. To think that I had actually requested for extra chilli... All that the chilli had contributed, was a layer of red oil on top of the soup, the beehoon, the dao-pok 豆干, the fishcakes, the.. everything!! I was sooooooo tempted to throw in my tissue to absorb the layer of oil first.. The big-plus redeeming factor, however, was the generousity of the ingredients given. There were many pieces of floating dao-pok 豆干, all soaked nice and soft in the hot soup (yummy!!), amidst their sliced fishcake and ikan bilis (yes, ikan bilis - not dried shrimps) neighbours. The was even a WHOLE hardboiled egg inside!
Overall, it was a satisfying meal, though oily.
And at $3.60, it didn't come cheap too.
