Some expectation management, protocol and tips reference will allow you to enjoy the nice Dim Sum in Victor's Kitchen.

Scallop, sausage carrot cake with XO Sauce XO酱干贝腊味萝卜糕@$4. One of Victor's Kitchen specialities and authentic Hong Kong's Dim Sum. Soft carrot cake in its simplicity with complimenting black sauce. Slight spiciness and added fragrance of the XO sauce contrasted and brought out the taste of the radish. YouTiao Cheong Fun or "Za Leong"@$3.50. The fried you-tiao here is crispy and yet soft, which is much better than those hard ones offered in some restaurants.Golden Egg Yolk Lava Bun @$4.0 for 3 buns. Golden savoury egg yolk lava flowing out as you break apart the steamed fluffy bun. Loved the consistency of the lava, not too watery nor too lumpy. The custard combined with fragrant salted egg yolk was simply yummy. Hong Kong Summer Ice Tea @$3. One of the best milk tea we had. One of the most "Kao", smooth, tasty and fragrant milk tea.Tip: avoid weekend or be early to beat the queue. Else expect to wait for at least 20 min for a seat.

Squeezy small dining area, be prepared to make way for people while you are eating. Since there is no service charge, be contented that the staffs set the table and bring you your food. Don't expect smile or attention from the busy staffs. Don't be alarmed to hear "loud conversation" among the staffs now and then.

The braised ducks hanging at the stall looks tempting and the service seems to be prompt, so we decided to go for the braised duck rice since we do not have much time to queue for our favourite stall at Alexandra Village.

We ordered braised duck and pork skin. The pork skin was nice and Q but the braised duck was slightly tough. The braised sauce was quite nice with the rice.

Not every Cze Char store can offer a nice simple stir fried vegetables. We will usually order a simple stir fried vegetables from this store to fulfill our dietary fiber requirements.

A simple stir fried vegetables with garlic cost around $6. Loved the gravy where Chinese wine was added to enhance the taste. They will also topped up with lots of deep fried shallots which complement the vegetables.

For a more flavourful stir fried vegetables, order the stir fried vegetables with seafood which has an added sweetness from the seafood.

"Follow the queue" had always been a safe bet to find good food, just that some time investment is required. We followed the queue in front of Western Barbeque stall at Old Airport Road and were impressed by their pork chop and cutlet.

We were glad that they have opened a new branch at ABC Brickworks Food Centre so that residents in the west can also have easy access to great food.
There are a few popular western food stalls at ABC Market, but their pork cutlet still stands out among them.

The set comes with fries, a bun and baked beans. We usually add a fried egg with the gooey egg yolk to go with the fries. The normal set cost $5.50 while $6 with an additional egg. Although slightly expensive in a hawker centre, but it is still quite worth it as the portion is quite big.The fries are the thicker version which you can taste both the crispy exterior and soft potato within. Personally, I still prefer the thinner version and enjoy looking for that few thin crispy fries from the generous portion of fries.

We had tried their pork chop and pork cutlet. The pork chop was nicely grilled and it was served with garlic sauce, which really goes well with the pork chop.

Their pork cutlet is even better. It is not the usual pork cutlet where you deep fried a piece of pork coated with bread crumbs. The piece of pork was lightly coated with a flavourful nice batter, not sure what are the ingredients but it really enhanced the pork. Bread crumbs are not required as the pork cutlet is already very crispy with the nice deep fried batter.

The soft bun with creamy butter is quite nice as well. The portion of the set is usually too much for me and I will just leave the soft bun for later.

For take away, they will just pack the fries with the baked beans which will make the fries a bit soggy. We will usually just ask them to omit the baked beans since we don't really fancy them, this will keep your fries crispy.

The service is quite prompt, no long wait. The auntie serving is quite friendly as well.

It was a cool evening after a rainy afternoon, we decided to go for some satay since the queue doesn't seems to be that long at Old Punggol Satay stall.

We ordered chicken, pork and mutton satay, which was served with cucumber slices and satay dip. The satay dip was well grated peanut sauce with some pineapple puree to balance off the sweetness with some citrus.

The mutton satay was a bit disappointing, slightly dry and seems to be over-barbecued. The chicken and pork was good, but not overly impressed as we were expecting it to be more tender and juicy after so much were mentioned in the reviews.Maybe I catch them on the wrong day, will try again in my next visit to Alexandra Village Food Centre.
