I had breakfast at Ikea Alexandra branch.  The mee siam was served in a bowl rather than shallow plate.  I prefer mee siam served in bowl as the bee hoon is fully soaped in the bowl and the bee hoon can be soften. I added lime juice onto the mee siam and the taste is perfect to be sour.  The egg given is half sized hard boiled egg.  There is strong egg yolk flesh smell.  There is little bean curb.  One problem is that the mee siam soup is not steaming hot.  I prefer soup to be steaming hot.
As I prefer hot beverage, I had my cup of coffee after I had finished my bowl of mee siam.  I added 1/3 packet of sugar and one packet of creamer on the black coffee.  There isn’t strong coffee aroma but one thing that is certain is that the coffee can keep me await the whole day.  I was still await  that night. 
Another thing that I notice that bowl and cup are served in glassware.  Food which are served in glassware makes a difference in the taste. 
I enjoyed my breakfast meal at Ikea.

The McDonald Egg Muffin is really great.  Just for $2, it fills  my hunger. The egg was moulded to 1 cm thick and the chicken ham was juicy. The cheese is soft and not salty. The Muffin was chewy and soft.  Not spreading any butter, the muffin is moist and soft to chewy.
McDonald has cheered me up for the morning! The management of crowd was orderly.  The waitress was swift in provision of service.

The cheesy mushroom puff costs $1.90.  It is oily.  The puff has many layer of skin and the filling is little.  The cheesy mushroom also has cube of carrot as carrot can be seen.  The puff tastes good when it is fleshy baked.

If the skin could be made more and more mushroom that would be an ideal cheesy mushroom.

I bought a box of Sweet Musing. Inside the Sweet Musing, it comprises 4 boxes of Taiwan special teebits. It has the dried longan. The longan is soft and not sweet. The other box is a almond thin biscuits. The almond thin biscuit is coated with spread of syrup on top. There are about 4 pieces in the packet. The other packet is pineapple tart. Again, there are 4 packets. The pineapple tart is not soft. It is 7 cm x 2 cm. The pineapple filling is prepared with brown sugar. The other box is the soft nuggets. There are 6 soft nuggets with fresh and crispy almond. My preferred choices are the almond biscuits, longan and the nuggets. The box costs $33.

I had food served by Hock Hoe Heng Restaurant. The meal was served in an open pavilion and the restaurant had its moveable van drove to the dinning area. It was rather interesting.

When the meal was really to serve, I thought it would be a course concept but rather wrong. It was like dinning in a house based setting. I had carrot and pork rib soup. When the soup was placed on the table, the strong aroma of carrot was excellent. There was no stain of oil. The soup was clear. I was given the option to have rice or porridge but I chose porridge to go with my meal. Woh! I had not eaten such teochew porridge for a long time. The grain was boiled to finest and the porridge water was sweet and not starchy.

The next dish was the fried bean curd. The bean curd was plain but yet it had done it well. Next I had fried dory fish. It did not like the dory fish as it was heavily covered with flour to dry. One unusual dish was the steamed minced pork. The restaurant used metallic plate to steam. This steamed pork has nothing to go with, just meat only. If only carrot had added to steam, then with the good colour combination, I would think that the minced pork meat would add a better taste.

Teochew like hong bak. The hong bak was good. It was not fatty. The fried cabbage with black fungus was the best grap. Everyone made a dip to the vegetable dish.
Though the meal was light yet I did not feel hungry. Most important, I did not feel thirsty.

I enjoyed the meal. I enjoyed the meal.
