I was surprised when I reached Bedok Hawker Centre in the morning, there was not much people queueing at this famous Lor Mee stall. Hence, I joined in the queue and ordered Lor Mee. The Lor Mee cost $3.

The Lor Mee had a nice aroma of black vinegar. The bowl of Lor Mee portion looked small despite paying $3. The Lor Mee gravy tasted good with herbal and braised broth, it was slightly more to the sweet side than savoury.

The braised meat was good, it was fatty and well braised, almost melted in the mouth when eaten. 

Overall, the Lor Mee was good but the portion seems to be small at this price. 

I always wanted to try Filipino food especially their Lechon but their stalls are always out of way. Finally, there was a branch of famous LechonSG opened at the Clementi Central.

From the menu, there was Lechon Meal and BBQ Pork, I was unsure which one to order as they looked similar. The friendly stall holder recommended the Lechon Meal which cost $5. The roasted pork meat was freshly cut out when ordered. 

The Lechon Meal smelt very nice, there was this roasted suckling pig aroma. The skin of the pork was very crispy like suckling pig, however there was a sourish vinegar taste, I guessed was the marinate. The fatty pork meat was heavenly, it melts in your mouth. It was so tender and soft. 

The brown sauce given tasted similar to chinese plum sauce. When the roasted pork dipped into the brown sauce, it tasted so good.

Overall, this Lechon Meal tasted very good, though I find that the prices were slightly high as compared to local roasted meat rice. 

There was a new Wanton Mee stall in Yuhua Hawker Centre. The stall signboard had the name similar to the famous Bukit Batok one, I was unsure whether they were under the same boss.

Nevertheless, I ordered the Set A which was the Wanton Mee with Pork Ribs at $4. The stall lady asked whether I wanted a white or black noodle. I was confused what was the different between colours. The stall lady said it was just the sauce, hence I ordered the black version.

The wait for the Wanton Mee with Pork Ribs was slightly longer about more than 5 minutes as the wanton was freshly deep fried when ordered.

The Wanton Mee with Pork Ribs looked good and the portion was large. The mee kia was springy and tasted liked Kolo Mee. The sauce on the mee kia was just braised sauce. The deep fried wanton was very good, crispy on the outside and meaty inside. There was also chestnut and spring onions in the wanton meat. The braised pork rib was good, tender and meat easily separated from the bone, the herbal sauce braised deep into the meat. 

Overall, this Wanton Mee with Pork Ribs was very good, better than the Fei Fei Wanton Mee in the same hawker centre.

My friend was late and I was tired standing under the hot weather in Bugis Junction. Hence, I went to Starbucks to get a iced blend drink. I did not want to order coffee, hence I ordered the Mango Passion Fruit Frappuccino Blended Juice, venti size. The cost was about $7.50.

The wait for my ordered drink was quite fast and the friendly staff called my name when my order was ready. The decor inside the Starbucks was cosy and comfortable, the air temperature was also cooling, good for resting my tired legs. 

The taste of the Mango Passion Fruit Frappuccino Blended Juice was disappointing. It was also very sweet. There was no real mango or passion fruit in the drink. The taste was more of concentrated mango syrup with blended ice. I could not taste any passion fruit flavour, maybe the staff had forgotten to add the syrup in. Nevertheless, the drink was thirst quenching in this hot weather.

Overall, I felt that having paid $7.50 for a juice drink, I should be getting a real fruit blend instead of syrup water. 

Today was only Christmas Day and Bengawan Solo already started selling Chinese New Year pastry!

The staff recommended the Mini Peanut Puff which was freshly delivered from their main bakery today. Hence I bought a box of Mini Peanut Puff at $13.80. I felt the price was slightly expensive.

The Mini Peanut Puff tasted good and fresh. The size of the Peanut Puff made eating easy, just pop into mouth like eating M&M. There was no oily after-taste or aroma. The puff was very crispy. The filling inside was crushed peanut with sugar which had just the right sweetness.
