Gooey favorite Smile Jan 09, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean Chinese | Hawker Centre | Noodles

I have eaten this in the past, but then I started picking it up and then it ended as a favorite whenever lunch hour is around going to the office.

The gooey soup with kway tiao (choosing rice instead of egg noodles as a healthier version and to avoid acne pimples) and the shark fritters which I don't believe (poor sharks but I dont mind if its normal fish) is just as addictive the more you eat it.

It doesn't need to be introduced again, with a bowl of $2.50, the gooey soup gives you the sense of fulfillment in your tummy with a tablespoon++ of black vinegar and chopped spring onions, adding that zing of freshness and eliminating the fishy after taste.

Even the lady now knows me asking "are you studying here" and with the articles pasted all over their board, again, no introduction needed as even Singapore-based mangaka artist (i forgot the name but i've met him for real) drew this famous lor mee as a Singaporean dish must-try!

Crunch yer buck 'ere Smile Jan 09, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Hawker Centre

The cookieatmonster is back! And let me tell you if you have the biggest appetite ever like I do, having a men's stomach in a girl's being, this is a stall you can't miss for being its A grade cleanliness score seen on the front side of the stall and the two men chefs who, I asked where did you guys go, sometimes you guys open, sometimes you're not even around.

"Well, we sometimes feel that it's not so full with people so we don't open, then if we wake up early we'll open."

like a slacker like me, their cooking skills don't reflect that, rest assured.

I ordered the fried fish with veggies and rice set because it looked huge in the picture. And it came out as expected. chopstick

I have to say thumbs up as the veggies are fresh and has a lot of varieties which I dont find much where else - carrot, mushrooms, paprika, broccoli and some cabbage here and there with bbq sauce is awesome.

Fish is fried to perfect crunch, I assume its dory fish fillet, streamed with mayonnaise.

Rice portion is also quite generous.

Tastewise should be pretty plain and straightforward as the taste meddles and heavily depends on your ketchup and chilli and mayonnaise usage dose (my case, its all three in one and adds up a mountain) but given on a big white plate, I felt like I was at Fish and Co half the price.

A twist in western coffee stores Smile May 07, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Café | Brunch

I heard that the coffee was brilliant with the same price you pay for the bigger coffee joints like starbucks and bean, but since it was at night and my friends off from work were just looking out for dinner we settled it out here. Didnt try the coffee as I do want to sleep! Maybe next time smile

They say that the fish and chips ($17) was the most famous, but since my friend ordered that I changed to their pork ham sandwich with wedges ($14) which was definitely filling. Taste was however pretty bland, I added more pepper and salt all over for the wedges. Was good as it came with bits of salad to add some fresh leaves but it wasn't cold. They drizzled in italian or sour dressing on top. It was good except that it wasn't cold.

The sandwich had an interesting taste and each of their sandwiches uses different types of bread. This one had a salty salty all over with ham and melted cheese (but not enough cheese according to me!mad ) and with the sour zing taste it was just right! The portion was all just right and the environment was good!

Fish and chips came in as a small basket with about 7-8 pieces of fish finger sized and chips. Didn't try it myself but quite pricey for the size. Fish and Co has it bigger in size for the same price?

Service was friendly, however the staff couldn't really recommended anything and went by popular choice that fish and chips was the most ordered.

Set B for 2 Smile Mar 30, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Thai | Sushi/Sashimi

This new place has opened up, ZENSO, and it has this Thai-Japanese fusion, although after looking at the menu, there's no fusion dish to combine both - it's just that they serve japanese bento sets and thai dishes in tom yum, curry chicken, or rice dishes.

I was chilling out with an old pal and so after a look of the whole menu, I recommended that why don't we get Set B, the two special sets for 2. It was at $18.90 each.

We don't get an option for rice (plain rice), but for vegetable and meat dish and drink, we did have options. We got the coconut chicken soup, the vegetable dish I forgot the name, the beef dish and lemongrass and thai ice tea with milk.

The coconut chicken soup was really thick, but the saltiness was just right. It was really thick in its coconut, you can have this whole set for 3 with an extra portion of rice. The soup also had tomatoes on it too. However the taste was not so thick until you want to throw up and can't eat anything else.

Vegetable and beef dish had really scary looking size chilli but it was of worth - if you bite you die but the spice was just right - a bit too salty though, but try mixing the sauce with coconut soup spread on top of your rice - it gives a balance of milky texture and the spice salt taste.

By the end of it you're super full! The drink was too sweet compared to the other thai chain just beside the store. But the lemongrass for me had a fresh mint aftertaste which I can't find at other Thai stores just! smile

Best other thing about this new joint is that there's no charge in tax and service! So it was exactly $18.90. lol

Lasagna Set Meal Smile Mar 30, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean Western | Café | Pasta

Well well, it was raining, the weather seemed just right to eat something piping hot. After enough contemplation, my friend and I ordered the lasagna set that comes with fried potato wedges and the lasagna with a drink to accompany.

It took them about 5-10 minutes to cook as they have previously stated, and when it came, it looked good - the cheeeeese, the mozzarella cheese looked tantalizing mad

Students who were in the counter were also pointing saying that "man that looks good!" instead of the usual fried chicken rice set or something. This was either $6-8 I forgot the exact price.

However on taste, without the extra ketchup or chilli and pepper it would be quite tasteless, the lasagna. But the wedges, ARE AWESOME. CRISP TO PERFECTION AND soft inside goodness, ooooh the warm wedges to bite into!
