Talk about Char Kway Teow, I am sure most of us will have a preference stall that fried the most tasty kway teow that you always frequent. If you have being to Old Airport Road Food Center, you would have heard about this well-known Char Kway Teow stall known as Lao Fu Zi Char Kway Teow (老夫子炒粿条) located at #01-12.

Personally I don’t really find their fried kway teow any usual except it is a bit towards the sweet side with average taste that somehow or rather lack of wok fragrance. But surprisingly it is always pack with queue during meal hours. So I guess perhaps it might be that extra “Fried Lard” that draws customers’ attention towards this stall.

Having dinner at one of the Hong Kong Street Old Chun Kee Cze Char branches near my area and I was surprised by to see some unique dishes that they served. From a banner outside their stall at the Coffee Shop, they are also one of the recommended stalls from the Channel 8 Food Show known as “Sizzling Wok - 煮炒来咯”.

Above are the 3 items that we have tried from the recommended dishes list:-

1. Sum Lo Hor Fun -三捞河分 which we think can be better because all the rice noodles seems to be bundle together rather than loosely fried. But overall the taste is still good with that slightly burnt wok taste.

2. Golden Dragon Beancurd -金龙豆腐 is a must try. As you can see from the photo, this chef recommended tofu is of multi-colour that used vegetable such as spinach and carrot to blend with soya milk and steam it layer by layer to achieve those colourful layer. The tofu is steamed, cut into cubes, deep-fried and top with floss and mayonnaise. Very unique and appetizing starter.

3. Mongolian Pork Ribs -蒙古排骨 although it might not good appetizing due to it’s colour but it has a very special taste with the combination of curry leave, black pepper and mayonnaise. It is a good change to have this rather than the usual sweet and sour pork or jin du pai gu.

Since July 2010, Sakae sushi has this monthly theme promotion for it’s new dishes. And this month October theme is using “Unagi” where they launch 5 new items using it. So as a regular customer of Sakae, I went and tried their “Unagi Sushi Cake” and “Unagi Cheesy Kushlyaki”.

The Unagi Sushi Cake that cost S$5.99 per plate comes with a few slices of unagi on top of the rice cake together with some diced mango, avocado and a little spoonful of fish roes. Although the portion might be a bit bigger for a mouthful bite but I am sure this is a healthy dish with all the goodness from the fish and fresh fruits.

But on the other hand, Unagi Cheesy Kushlyaki is quite a disappointment because the deep-fried bread is so soggy with oil that it makes the appetizer dish so oily for consuming. Guess it is either over fried or the staffs has to soak up all the oil before serving to the customer.

Last weekend, we pop over to one of the Popeyes Chicken outlet at Jubilee Entertainment Centre, Ang Mo Kio. While queuing for the orders, I was attracted to the poster at the counter showing “Free Onion Rings” with any purchase of two Chicken Set Meal. So instead of getting a burger set with a chicken meal I decided to forgo the burger and swap it with two chicken meals for the sake of our favourite Onion Rings.

This is our first time trying out their Onion Ring and we love it just as much as we love their Cajun Fries. The outer coating of the rings are so crispy and fragrant which brings back some of our memories on the famous A&W Onion Rings that we used to eat.

For my Chicken Meal Set, I choose their "3 pieces Chicken Tenders" instead of deep-fried chicken pieces. When I tried a piece of it, I was surprised with it crispy outer layer and tender juice fillet as to compare with some other fast food outlet that I have tried that is sometimes either overcooked, too dry or tough.

So Popeyes Chicken lovers, go gather some of your friends or buddies and get your free Onion Rings upon purchase of two chicken set meal today, promotion while stock last.
