Seafood Kway Teow

Caution: Image may not be representative of true product.
HAHA! My mom made the prawns into a heart shape! how cute!!
This dish is cooked in a hot stove and is served together with it, keeping the dish hot.
The kway teow is cut into thin slices and quickly goes down your throat as it is very smooth.
Prawns was okay, a hassle to peel as usual and was fresh enough.
It has squid and fish in it too. The squid was a little rubbery but still edible. Fish was not as fishy this time round.
The gravy is quite delicious too when taken together with the kway teow.

I like this dish better than the previous one i ate!

I ordered the Beef Premium Set from the teppanyaki side. Had to wait awhile, especially since it was dinner period.

The set cost $23.99 and if you want to change the rice to garlic rice, it cost $2.70 for the top up.

This set consist of beef, salmon, half shelled scallop, chawamushi, assorted vegetables (salad & bean sprout), miso soup and plain rice. 1. Beef, salmon, half-shelled scallop (since they placed it all in one plate)

The physical food was definitely NOT representative of the image in the menu. I thought it was going to be acceptable portions of each dish. But turns out the whole set is actually.. pretty small size.
The beef was cooked with kimchi, giving it a tinge of spiciness, but it was sour too. Kind of a weird mix with beef. But still acceptable.
Salmon was quite a thin slice, it was so flat, one piece felt like it can be eaten in 3 mouths.
The half-shelled scallop is one of my favourite amongst the set. I like the smokey flavour of it and there was mayonnaise on top of it to boost the flavour. 2. Chawamushi
I like how they used the onion as the bowl! Very creative! This is a dish where one can eat the bowl as well! HAHA! It is similar to the normal chawamushi as it has crabmeat and meat inside of it. The salad taste like the sakae salad, just that it was of a smaller portion. Quite nice as the vege were crunchy and the salad sauce was a nice mix.
The beansprouts were OK. It was cooked with lady fingers, onions and carrots. A little too oily for me, but still alright. Lastly, I top up the rice to garlic rice. I felt the cost was a little expensive! But, it is more or less worth it as the garlic rice was very fragrant! and not boring at all! Whole set! with a few food intruders.

Was running some errands around this place and I decided to dine at this hawker centre.
I heard a lot of people reviewing about this ABC food centre and I realized I've never been here before! I must have missed out a lot of these yummy food here!I love hawker centre food as it feels really homely and this is definitely one that reminds me of my grandma's cooking. The noodles were not clumpy and I like that it was soft and chewy. From $3 onwards (I think till $6/7) you can get this plate of yummy hokkien mee serving by a friendly uncle/auntie [the uncle cooks and the auntie gets the orders]. The noodle is really fragrant and they are not stingy about giving the squid or the prawns! I also especially love the chili as its very distinct and you can taste the belachan flavour. I only wished that they gave more bean sprouts!

Other than that, this dish was absolutely incredible.

Thumbs up!

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 (:

My parents and i decided to try this restaurant after passing by it a few times. It is situated along the main road of upper bukit timah road. The restaurant provides free parking as it is more accessible by car. However, i think there's one busstop a few meters away from the restaurant. It gets pretty dark at night so it may be safer to go with a group of friends as there are some construction works going on nearby.

Upon entering the carpark, one can see the waitress hovering around the door to open the door for us. Once we stepped out of the car, she quickly went to the door to welcome us. I thought that this was a very warm and pleasant feeling! But it dawn on me that they were able to do this as the restaurant was quite empty.. even during dinnertime.
There was quite a large variety of items to choose from, like zi char store but we ate with porridge instead of white rice. Quickly ordered the food as we were quite hungry and the pictures all look very appetizing and delicious!

Like i mentioned previously, the restaurant was pretty empty so you could hear the conversations going on at the next table. They tried to make the place more lively by playing some chinese songs but it kept repeating the same few after awhile.

I guess the place caters to bigger groups as it was quite a big restaurant, and it was kind of situated in the middle of nowhere! haha!

Food!:

First, the porridge - $0.60/ea. cameAll the bowls had at least 2 sweet potatoes. Their porridge is cooked with sweet potatoes. Simple and nice. Next, beancurd in hot wok - $10. The gravy accompanying the tofu adds to the flavor. I used the gravy to boost the flavour of the porridge. tofu is "tie ban dou fu" but in a wok. It has carrots, mushrooms, big slabs of spring onions and an egg at the bottom. Egg was runny (i like this kind) and it soaked up the gravy a little, making it more flavorful. The rest was OK, nothing special. Eggplant with dried shrimp - $8/12
We ordered the smaller portion. I love the brinjal! Actually, I love all kinds of eggplant, so this one isn't a surprise. This eggplant was not as mushy as others, a little more.. sturdy? lol. LOVE IT! Braised chicken with rice wine in hot wok - $10/15
Finally, they saved the best for the last. This dish was very nice. I could taste the rice wine distinctively. Only qualm is that they gave the boney parts. Lazy me doesn't like to maneuver around the bones to eat the meat. But! i like this dish as it was really fragrant (due to the rice wine?).

Overall, this restaurant is actually quite expensive considering the dishes we ordered. Not sure how they're going to survive as when i was there, only 3 out of the numerous numbers of tables were occupied. I think there are other places that serve similar food at a lower price. However, no harm in trying the chicken! Maybe you may like other dishes too!

Note: Wet tissue ($0.30/ea.) is non-refundable! But there's no service charge, so i guess it balances out somehow.
