Hmmm...Ming Kitchen at Queens Street is just one of the many branches around the island and I was not expecting anythiing great but standard tze-char fare.Nevertheless, it did a decent job of the XO Fish Soup Noodles and when the steaming bowl of hot soup was placed in front of me, I almost went drunk immediately because of the potent dose of XO in it!

The dish itself looked rather bland and I had to dig up the greener veggies to take a nicer-looking photo of the noodles.Boy! When I took a sip of the soup, it was an 'alcoholic's delight'. They definitely did not stinge on the XO and too many a spoonfuls would surely render a weaker vessel drunk. It is definitely NOT a dish for children or those allergic to alcohol.

They were not very generous with the fish slices and just as well cos they were a tad too fishy. I also found the fish skin rather rubbery, a sign that the fish was not fresh.

I would recommend this dish if you just want the booze in the soup

I was in a hurry to buy lunch for my children when I chanced upon this stall at Ghim Moh Food Centre.

They had the Rice Rolls all packed and ready to go at the stall and I thought it'd be a refreshing appetiser to our lunch.The prawns were rather fresh but the overall texture of the roll was rather dry. It was made better by the accompanying sauce which was a bit sourish and spicy.

Indian Rojak is quite a pleasure with a good mix of healthy and not-so healthy (deep fried) ingredients.

I chanced upon this stall at Pasir Panjang Food Centre and thought it was worth trying since it was their specialty.

It did not disappoint as the ingredients were fresh and the sauce had a good balance of sweet and spicy. The fried items did was not soggy or oil laden and the dish was very enjoyable overall

If I want consistent quality of wanton mee, I look no further than the Pontian franchise of noodles. I am glad they have a branch in Holland Village Food Centre so it can be a back-up when I exhaust my food choices.

The black sauce in the noodles is a nice change from the normal ketchup base and I appreciate the fact that the noodles is not as oily and the char siew is always lean. The fried wanton adds a welcome crunch to the whole dish

A satisfying bowl of noodles on the whole

Being brought up on a diet of To-Die-For Peranakan food has made me seek out any available Nonya cuisine around Singapore. So I was quite pleased to chance upon this somewhat 'Fast Food' style of the cuisine. It is not exactly authentic and certain things has been tweaked for convenience but it is good for a quick-fix craving.

Fish Maw is one of my FAVOURITE things in Chinese soups and I always look forward eating it cos it is somewhat a comfort food to me. And what better way than to pair it with noodles! Another one of my favourite food items

This is definitely a homely sort of dish as it does not look very attractive because of its bland colours, but nevertheless it is still tasty with its cabbage, meatball, and fishball in a flavourful stock.Anything that is tangy or spicy is also on my hit list, and this Assam Pedas dish hits the right notes with the sour and spicy. However, it would be a huge plus if the prawns were fresher. This stall gains extra points for its generous portion of prawns and fish.The Honey Fried Chicken La Mian is not so much a Peranakan dish but I am sure it is a crowd pleaser. The big portion of chicken was well-grilled with subtle notes of honey and turmeric and it sure can fill the tummy with the huge serving of noodles!
