Traditional Trolley Dim Sum OK Jul 12, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Restaurant | Dim Sum

The unique selling point of this restaurant is the traditional way of sselling dim sum, which is to use a trolley to move around the restaurant shouting to potential customers the name of the dim sum on the trolley. Being the kiasu Singaporeans, you will see us walking to them rather than letting them move on to our seats.

The century egg porridge was tasty, but it can be improved to be “sticky” and as well as the portion is too small for one person to complete. The Lou Mai Kai was delicious. I especially love the jellyfish in this restaurant, it was broad and has the right texture for us to chew and swallow the jelly fishes.

The roast duck was delectable. As for desserts, the mango pudding and the egg tarts are great! Overall, it was a good place to have dim sum and the dim sum was good.

Offer Tea = Gong Cha Smile Jul 11, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Taiwanese | Bubble Tea/ Tea

Seems like all Gong Cha outlets have queues, this outlet is no difference to the others as well. Every time I pass by this outlet, I see queues and the wait seems to be longer than other outlets I had been to, such as the Tampines Central.

I always like to have Earl Grey Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Crystal Jelly, as I love the chewy-ness of the brown sugar crystal jellies and I am so used to the taste of the earl grey milk tea. I had influenced my brother to this drink as well. I had tried Taro milk as well, but I felt that it will be too much of taro taste after I drank 3/4 of it, hence the earl grey is still my best choice.

My hubby likes to have Milk Tea with Ai-yu jelly. He likes the ai-yu jelly that no other bubble tea chain has. The Ai-yu jelly at other chain either are too hard or it has a lemon flavor. He just like how Gong Cha has done theirs, plain and soft, which goes well with the milk tea.

Roselle Pearls Smile Jul 11, 2011

Jasmine Green Tea with Roselle Pearls

Jasmine Green Tea with Roselle Pearls

 
This is yet another bubble tea stall that has opened a few outlets in the past few months. I was thinking of drinking something that can quench my thirst and I ordered the jasmine green tea. As for the additional, I wanted something chewy, hence I asked for recommendations. I was surprised about the roselle pearls that this stall sells and I chosed that for my drink.

The pink roselle pearls are not sweet, and it has very, very little taste of the roselle. Overall, it was a great drink and roselle is said to help in detox, so I would drink that if I pass by that place again.

Saucy Oyster Egg Smile Jul 10, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Hawker Centre | Noodles

This stall has been there for years, the stall signboard has changed from $2 to $2.50! That was so interesting! smile

Although the signboard focuses on the fried rice, the dish I would like to recommend is the unique oyster egg. The uniqueness of the oyster egg is the "eggy oysters" sauce on top of the omelette.

With a tinge of spiciness and a heavenly taste of fresh oysters melting in your mouth with every bite, it's not surprising that it's gone within seconds! So, a word of advice - do not share with more than 2 persons! tongue
It has been changed to $2.50!

Simple Mee Siam Smile Jul 10, 2011

Mee Siam

Mee Siam

 
It's a bowl of simple mee siam, with the normal and simple ingredients such as beehoon, beansprouts, egg and tau pok. However, once you had tasted it, you will definitely be hooked on it.

The sauce is so appetizing and you will continue to eat and eat and by the time you realised, you would have finished the whole bowl. Mum described this mee siam gravy as the tradtional taste that she had tasted in the past. Although I do not know the taste of the olden times, I love the gravy very much. The gravy was full of flavour and I believe the stall owner must have added alot of strong ingredients to get that kind of taste.

I will definitely bring mum back for more. smile
