It was a hot day today. I went to the hawker centre to find some cold dessert and stumble upon this stall. The menu looked extensive and the prices were affordable. I ordered a cold Cheng Teng at $1.50.

The Cheng Teng had more ingredients than I thought. There was sweet potato in the Cheng Teng soup and the usual sago, barley, white fungus, etc. What I found missing was the dried persimmon. But this Cheng Teng was quite filling to the stomach due to the sweet potato. 

Overall, this Cheng Teng was cheap and good. Nevertheless the Cheng Teng was refreshing and thrist quenching for me.

There was a popular Rojak at the Toa Payoh Bus Interchange basement. The queue was very long, at least 30 minutes wait in the queue. When it my turn to order, the stall holder prepared the Rojak very fast in less than 5 minutes.

The Rojak was noticeably different with many toasted peanuts. The peanuts was crushed, powdery and add to the dryness mouthfeel when eating the Rojak. There was too many peanuts until some of that sticked to my throat.

The Rojak sauce had a mild prawn paste aroma and taste. The sauce was also mild sourish. I felt the Rojak sauce tasted more like savoury sweet and sour sauce for pork ribs than prawn paste sauce.

The ingredients in the Rojak included cucumber, mangkuang, freshly toasted taupok and fritters. Although the fritters were freshly toasted, they were slightly chewy and hard. 

Overall, this Rojak was average, to me it was not worth to queue for 30 minutes. I would still prefer Rojak with heavier flavour of prawn paste and lesser crushed peanuts.

While I was shopping at Nex, I was craving for western food but the restaurants there mostly sells local or Japanese. When I walked pass the Mad Jack with striking signboard, I decided to go in for a try.

I order the Grilled Terderloin in Brown Sauce at $22.90. The grilled terderloin came quite fast to the table and I could smell the grilled meat aroma. The serving portion of the meat was smaller than I expected.

The terderloin meat was tender and juicy and easily cut, but the taste of the meat was somewhat bland. I guessed I had to dip the meat into the brown sauce to add flavour. The dipping brown sauce tasted similar to thicken KFC mashed potato sauce and I liked it. 

Overall, I find that the Grilled Terderloin in Brown Sauce was average in taste. At this price, I would expect the meat to have a better flavour and quality.

Before Ghim Moh Hawker Centre closed for renovation, I went to try the Ghim Moh Chwee Kueh. There was no queue at this stall and I thought they were closed. Luckily the aunty at the stall said that they still have left some to sell to me.

Their menu board had a price for 20 pieces at $6 but I wonder who was such big eater buying 20 in a go. I just bought 8 pieces for $2.40 for myself.

The Chwee Kueh had little "Cai Poh". The "Cai Poh" tasted more sweet than savoury. The Chwee Kueh was just right not too soft or too floury. 

Overall, this Chwee Kueh was not oily but was average in taste. There was too little "Cai Poh" given.

Before the Ghim Moh Hawker Centre went for major renovation, I went to try the Kong Shang Hua Wonton Noodle which had a long queue in the morning. The Wanton Mee cost $2.50 and the serving portion looked good.

The Wanton Mee was old school traditional type without any special homemade sauce. I ordered a dry version with no chili and only tomato sauce was added.  The noodle was egg type mee kia, it was slightly springy without the akaline aftertaste. The tomato sauce gave the wanton mee a sweet and tangy taste. The char siew was lean and the wanton was meaty with crushed dried fish taste.

Overall, I felt that the wanton mee tasted average, it would be better if they use a savoury soya based sauce.
