YAY! So glad to discover this hawker centre @ buona vista!

I went there around 12-1pm on a saturday afternoon for lunch and lucky for my group of friends and I, we didn't have to wait that long as the waiting time had stated to.
The signboard said that during off peak hour, waiting time is 20-30mins while during peak hour, it's 45-90 mins! So be prepared to wait for this good food!
Claypot rice is sold at 4 different prices - $10 for 2 person, $15 for 3, $20 for 4 and $25 for 5. Extra ingredients will be charged at a minimum of $5. They have 3 different types of claypot rice: Claypot wu wei rice, Claypot chinese sausage rice and claypot chicken rice.
They also sell a wide array of soup (eg. black chicken soup) and vegetables (i think they only have xiao bai cai in oyster sauce). The store situated at a corner of the hawker centre, near a public toilet. It's land space is quite huge so they have a few stoves for cooking. On the right side of the store, they also sell some ducks, and also the innards/intestines/parts of the duck.

Onto the food!
We ordered: 1 claypot wu wei rice, 1 claypot chicken rice and 1 vege in oyster sauce ($25 for 5 pax)
Claypot wu wei rice had chinese sausages, chicken and some black stuff, which i can't identify (think it's some part of the duck)
I love the guo ba (bottom of the claypot rice)! It doesn't get charred very quickly so it's not black and still edible without sticking to your teeth! They also have black sauce and sesame oil at the side for you to add in, to enrich the flavor of the dishes! Most of the chicken were those without bones but a few of it had, it was relatively easy to eat! The rice also had a certain kind of sauce, not sure what it is, but it makes the rice smell really fragrant!

The claypot chicken rice is basically chicken rice with the clay pot, similar to the wu wei claypot rice, just without the other stuff (chinese sausage and black stuff)

The vege was a little bit too oily for my liking, but nonetheless, it was a complement to the rice and chicken!

I like that this store retain the traditional way of cooking over the charcoal, which brings out a certain flavor that seems to be missing in food nowadays!

Craving for teh tarik satisfied! (:The teh tarik was made traditionally with the pulling action; leaving it with a nice amount of froth at the top.
I like this teh tarik as it had a rich aromatic flavor and the sweetness was just nice.
It was a nice cup of teh to drink on a cool day. Teh Halia (Ginger tea)
I couldn't really taste any ginger at all; and it tasted like the teh tarik. LOL. I think the uncle might have forgot my order. Oh well!

Both were nice cups of drinks to have on a breezy day (:

Headed down to the prawn noodles as i was visiting my cousin whose workplace was close by.
Parking was not that troublesome as we were pretty lucky that day! Got a packing spot the moment we arrive!
Prior to that, we were going around the area looking for the stall as the surrounding land seem to be undergoing some major renovation and we thought the place has moved away as it looked like a ghost town.

Firstly, let me introduce the prices of the different dishes they offer.
Signature dish: Big Prawn Noodle - $4, $5, $7
Abalone Clam Prawn Noodle - $5, $7, $8
Pork Ribs Prawn Noodle - $5, $7, $7
Misc: Handmade Fish Cake - $1.20 ea., Extra noodles/ fried onions - $0.50, Extra Soup - $1, Packet of cut chilies - $0.20
All the prices were laid out clearly around the stall front.

Waiting time was not very long, less than 5 minutes. We stood infront of the stall for awhile and they called us over (was given the LED disc thing also).
Environment was pretty breezy and it was a nice place to chill although most patrons were office workers and tend to eat and go quickly.
The cleaners were quite efficient as well, clearing the leftover dishes almost immediately after someone leaves.

Food! : Big Prawn Noodle - $4
Soup - Light and flavorful! The prawn taste was very rich and the fried onions which were soaked inside enriched the taste.
Noodle - I ordered the thick bee hoon. Every strand of the noodle was very distinct but soft at the same time.
Prawns - Fresh and juicy! I like to suck the stuff out from the head (cholesterol and saturated fats - unhealthy!! oops) so i'm glad they left the head on. It was pretty easy to peel too, due to the freshness of the prawn, so the shell doesn't stick to the meat. The fish cake was cut into roughly 3-4 pieces if i'm not wrong, pretty big pieces. It was very bouncy and the skin was nice too. Although it turned cold very quickly and was not that hot to start with. My cousin ordered the dry prawn noodles with pork ribs. I think i prefer the dry noodles instead as it was more flavourful! She added chili to hers, making it more delicious! And i felt that there was more soup given since it was separated. The pork ribs were soft, and there was also some soft bones in some parts of it.

Lastly, there was a container of dry chili flakes on the table (can see in the 2nd pic). I added the chili flakes to my bowl of soup and it didn't even taste any different. The chili itself didn't taste spicy at all! I wonder what they use to make it.
Tip: If you really need the extra kick, i suggest that you ask the stall owners to add chili to your noodles instead!

Overall, I think this is one of the best prawn noodles around and i hope they don't close down even though her neighbors probably moved away!

Ventured to causeway point the other day and decided to drop by this paradise dynasty 2 branch! The waiting time was a little bit longer as perhaps causeway point was a bigger place and there were more people, especially since it was a sunday.

Food ordered:Radish Pastry (3 pieces) - $4.80

A must try everytime i come to paradise dynasty! (: I love how this pastry is made, soft and hot on the inside and crispy on the outside. Luckily for me, nothing went wrong this time! So i was able to enjoy this dish! (: I went to a restaurant elsewhere to other time and learnt that this pastry is difficult to make as they have to do it on the spot, making the waiting time longer (and some customers can't wait that time). The skin has to be very crispy and there were many different layers, so it's a very tedious dish to make. BUT YAY!! I get to eat it this time! Ma Po Tofu - $9.00

The Ma Po tofu wasn't that spicy even though there were many chili bits in it. Tofu was cut up in uniform sizes and it was soft and bouncy. Nice to sink your teeth into. The portion of minced meat was very generous too. Pretty good dish. Sauteed Australian Lettuce - $11.80

Funny how this vegetable is so expensive for a few strands! My mom wanted to order this for us to try as it was suppose to have a tinge of bitterness. But it didn't at all. It was quite sweet in fact, although i felt it was a little oily. ):

Overall, the dishes were pretty good! I enjoyed this branch a lot as the waiters were not so vocal, so they dont shout at the top of their voices everytime a customer comes in, keeping it relatively peaceful.
Service was very fast as usual and dishes were served very promptly not long after we ordered (other than the pastry, which was understandable)

Tip: Go to the restaurant earlier so that you don't have to wait very long for a table as it gets pretty busy during peak hours.

2nd trip here!
This time, for a simple meal.

Food ordered: Japanese Cucumber in Garlic - $4.80

Started with this appetizer. The japanese cucumber was crunchy and the garlic and salt with the cucumber was a very good complement. I like this dish as it was refreshing and it's quite appetizing. They were very generous in the amount of garlic they added, thus making the dish very delicious. Price was a little steep for this simple dish though. Steamed Sliced Fish with Black Fungus - $14.80

Simple and healthy dish. The fish, like previous time, was very smooth and soft. They was a coating of starch(?) making it very different from other fish. The black fungus was not too bad, crunchy, although they gave very little of it. Small ginger slices were added to the cooking, which gets rid of the fishy smell. Sautéed Spinach with Minced Garlic - $10.80

I love spinach! So i can't find any fault with this dish. I think that out of the few vegetable dishes they have, this one looks like they gave the most as it comes in a bunch instead of a few strands. As usual, the garlic added to the dish makes it very aromatic.

I like this place for it's ambience. This time round, the restaurant was not as crowded so it was more quiet as compared to the last time.
However, i didn't like that they quite asking if we wanted to order drinks. (plain water and tea was $1 each, so expensive!)

Overall, this is a good dining place for a quick lunch as the food is served pretty fast and the abundance of staff makes the service really fast too.
