Traditional Braised Pork Knuckles Cry Sep 15, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : BBQ

I always been a super 'kiasu ah sou' when come to buying deals and promotion. Whenever there is a promotion, nothing can be leave out by me. This time round, I managed to grab this braised pork knuckles at only $7.90 per packet from Qoo10.sg. This price is with the additional early bird discount, if not it will be charged at $13.50 each.

 
It is packed in a vacuum packed packaging, which is really clean and hygience. When I picked up the item from Jurong Point outlet, the staff is also friendly and prompt in getting it to me. Was really surprised to see that this package will only be expired in July 2014. Ingredients are stated very clearly on the packaging which includes pork knuckle, garlic, ginger, mushroom, chestnut, fennel, soy sauce, sugar, salt, clove cinnamon, Chinese wine and star anise.

 
I was really anxious on the taste of this traditional Chinese dish, so without further delay I have cooked it the very next afternoon. As follow strictly according to the packaging instruction, just defrost the item from the freezer. Once defrost, just steam it in a wok for five to ten minutes and it will be ready to serve.

 

 
I was really excited when ten minutes of steaming is done, and I am really glad o see the outcome looks really impressive and the smell of the soy sauce was really fragrant. Soy sauce gravy was quite thick, sweet and fragrant. However only 2 small pieces of mushrooms and three small chestnuts can be found in this dish. They taste really fragrant but would have been better if the portion can be a little bit more.

 
However the disappointing part about this dish will be the pork knuckle. Even though lots of meat can be found on it and they are tender and juicy, but it still lack of the fragrant and was abit too blend in taste. Even the pork skin was not even braised to really dark nice brown colour, which was a pity. This dish could have been better since the gravy, mushroom and chestnuts are nice, but not the pork knuckle. Fortunately I have bought I really cheap at less than ten dollars per portion, still I will not consider to buy it again. Still I am very proud of Fragrance to be so innovative in producing such a creative idea in coming out of instant packaging for our favourite traditional Chinese food! Two thumbs up for their great affort!

Hor Fun Cry Aug 03, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Chinese | Food Court | Seafood | Zi Char

This food stall really has very good busy on every evenings. I have waited for almost fifteen minutes before my seafood hor fun is served to my table. The hor fun, which also known as the broad rice noodles, was too soggy and stick together. Even tbough the portion was quite generous, but I find the standard of this dish was not really that good. Moreover, the prawns and pork lean meat used in this dish are not fresh and tough in texture as well. Gravy used was abit too oily as well. At $4.50, I think is not worth the price of it.

Water Chestnut drink Cry Jun 16, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Food Court

I have bought a cup of the water chestnut drink from this drink stall in this food court. The service staff aunty is not really that friendly and a bit rude. The water chestnut drink is a bit too sweet and also quite diluted. Too much ice cubes are added in the drink which really soon my drink has been completed after a few sips. Fortunately the food court is quite spacious and cooling. At $1.30 per cup, I think is priced reasonable but the standard of the drink needs to be improved.

Wanton Noodles Cry Jun 16, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Coffeeshop | Noodles

I have bought a packet of the wanton noodles from this stall back home to try with my sister. The noodles are really chewy and portion of it is also quite generous as well. However the char siew meat portion is very little and the slices of it are too thin. The char siew meats are also not fragrant and abit dry as well. The wantons are also very small in size and a very small portion of pork meat can be found in it, which does not taste really good and is abit too plain in presentation. The stall owner is very friendly and the stall is quite clean as well.

Ice kachang Cry May 22, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Food Court | Desserts and Cakes

After having a bowl of hokkien noodles in this food court, decided to buy a bowl of dessert to share with my sister. The signboard showing the different types of desserts available from this stall was really wide and colourful. However was really angry with the poor service from the aunty who has served me. She was really unfriendly and no smell on her face. The ice kachang looks alright but taste quite awful. Insufficient milk was added in it, which make the ice really no taste and boring. Inside sliced jelly and beans are also really little in portion too.
