Tong Heng Specialist Smile Apr 09, 2013

I never like egg tarts till I tried the one at South Bridge Road by Tong Heng Specialist in Traditional Chinese Pastries ! My friend bought it for me the first time. It was tasty and crispy.

 
What I like about the egg tart is that it is really crispy on the outside and when you tried the egg filling in the middle of the egg tart, it is so smooth that you can gulp it down.

I never stop buying egg tarts whenever im in the area. Yummy!

For non- egg tart lovers, go try it ! I bet you will love it like I do smile

126 Wen Dou Sek 揾到食 Smile Apr 07, 2013

Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Dim Sum

Today, we suddenly have the urge for dim sum again! Here we are at 126 Wen Dou Sek 揾到食 for dim sumsmileIt was packed with people all out to the tables at the streets outside the stall. For a two person servings, we ordered 5 different dishes! smile

1. Siew Mai

 
It was good! The meat is tender and juicy. It is slightly bigger than normal siew mai too!

2. Fried Wanton

 
It is very crispy as it is deep fried. I like it when restaurants do not go stingy with their filling smile

3. Fried Tofu with sauceI couldnt remember what is the sauce name already but it is super thick and creamy! We felt that the staff had laid too much sauce on the tofu and it had covered the original taste of the tofu already. Nevertheless, it is still very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Thats what people always say 外脆内软. smile A must try here!

4. Prawn dumpling!

 
Hmms, i thought it was average only. No harm trying!

5. Chee Cheong Fan with shrimps

 
This is the my favourite dish among all! I super love the sauce coming along with this dish and it is so soft that i couldnt pick up with my chopsticks. smile surprisingly fresh too ;)

It is open till the wee hours and you will never be afraid of getting hungry in the middle of the night ;)

Yipee! Time for foodies to unite. smile this time, i went together with OpenRice for a food tasting session at Clementi Hong Kong Street Bai Jia Seafood Restaurant. Im a extremely seafood lover and Im really happy to join OpenRice in this food tasting! smile

4 of us settled down in the coffee shop and await for the delicious food to reach us. Hong Kong Street Bai Jia Seafood Restaurant is actually under the same boss with bai jia cafe which i had reviewed earlier. Their seafood are the freshest i got to say as the boss is a supplier of seafood. So, dont be afraid of having not fresh dishes here! ^^

We are served 9 dishes for the 6 of us which includes personnel from OpenRice! It was way too much for us but guess what, we managed to finish everything. smile what big eater we are. Hehe.

The first dish that is brought to us will be their signature curry fish head!

 
It came in a super big pot! No doubt, the fish is really fresh and the meat is so tender. However, the curry was a little too spicy for me. Haha! But it might be good just for you curry eaters, the spicier the better!

Next up, dried shrimp fresh bean.

 
When it was brought upon the table, a very strong aroma filled the air mainly featuring the dried shrimp! The fresh bean was incredibly crunchy too.

 
We also have the fresh bean tofu. Now, the main lead move on to the tofu instead. It was very tender and you dont have to bite to finish this dish. Yup, thats how awesome it is.

Superior Vegetable Soup

 
Im a bit skeptical about this dish initially. Thats because some restaurants always blend their soup base with a lot of water so they can earn few more bowls of soups and they dont care how the soup will taste. However, im so wrong today. The superior soup was in great flavour and could easily taste that they place a lot of herbs into it. We finished the soup clean without a drip.

Prawn Paste Chicken

 
I dont prefer this dish though. I thought the flavoring could be more overwhelming. Still, personal preference as some may like mild prawn paste seasoning but for me, i like it overwhelming till the wings go bright red.

Next of the same seasoning but different genre? Haha! The salted egg sotong.

 
I love love love this dish! Although it is the salted egg seasoning, they blend it really well to find them adequate for our taste buds. Not too salty or lacking of the saltiness feel. It was deep fried into crunchy sotong with the coating of salted egg seasoning. The sotong is fresh too! *must order*

Mongolian Pork Ribs

 
Hmms, i got to say this is something special as from the normal pork rib we had. A little too special to make me not like it a lot. sad the pork rib is nice, tenderly fresh but the seasoning wise, it is not what I expected.

Last but not least, my favourite in all dishes, cereal prawns!!!

 
Im a super prawns lover. The prawns here are the freshest I ever ate outside of home. It is big , fat and juicy. The cereal are extremely crispy too. I took them to complement my rice. This is also a *must order*.

Thats the end of the food tasting session. I thought it was great as it was still a scrumptious meal in the heartland of Clementi in Coffeeshop. Good food in affordable price. smile good job!

If you are an owl whom only roams around at night, you probably would know of Swee Choon Dim Sum Restaurant in Jalan Besar. They specializes in hong kong dim sum which is affordable and delicious.

They operates from 6pm to 6am daily and closed on Tuesday. There are also many waiters/waitress serving you so you dont have to worry that nobody will notice your existence.

 
We reached Swee Choon at about 10 pm and quickly settle down to order some dishes as we are famished. In total, we ordered 5 dishes which includes the following :

1. 虾饺 (har gao) $2.20 for 2

 

 
Each plate only consists of two har gaos which means one is for $1.10. sad It is slightly more expensive than usual but !!! It is definitely worth it. It is probably the best 虾饺 I ever eat. The prawns are fresh and it fills up the whole dumpling. Unlike other restaurants where they only fill the dumpling with probably half of the prawn? Love the prawn dumpling here!

2. Steamed Pork Ribs ($2.50)

 
It was pretty yummy but the serving was way too small. sad You still can give it a try if you are there too! smile

3. 小笼包 (Xiao Long Bao) $4 for 4

 
Having said that it is $4 for 4, it is actually a dollar for every one you pop into your mouth. Haha! The outer layer of the dumpling is thicker than what i expected but the filling was great! It was so juicy and meaty! Thumbs up sign

4.虾仁炒饭 (Prawn Fried Rice) $4.50

 
The rice was very dry and hard. You definitely need a cup of drink when you are having the fried rice. Not recommended though.

5. 奶黄流沙包 (Salted egg yolk custard bun)

 

 
This is my first time trying salted egg yolk custard bun. Im always amazed by how people post on instagram with the filling flowing out of the bun! Today, i have the chance to try it! ^^ it was good but maybe not my favourite. Personal preference!

That's it from me!
This would be my favourite place for dim sum at night! smile

This afternoon, my mum and I went to a hawker centre at bedok north area. This hawker centre is always packed and crowded in the morning for breakfast!

 
We couldn't decide which to get for our carrot cakes so we got both! (The white and the black) Personally, i like the white carrot cake more while my mum loves the black one!

 

 
We were extremely shocked by the serving bought to us. It was huge. It was pretty good too! This is a stall selling duck rice but they also serves carrot cakes as their side orders!

Great service!
