The crowd at The Old Malaya Café is specially long during lunch hours.Having tasted the popiah during my last trip, I decided to order a bowl of Chicken Macaroni Soup.

Definitely it was a good choice.

The soup light and refreshing with generous amount of big pieces of chicken meat.

The chicken was cooked just right and the taste succulent.

Thumbs Up for this soup!

Its been more than one and half years since I last visited The Old Malaya Café at Tampines Mall.

We wanted to lunch at the nearby restaurant but it was packed and my family didn't want to queue, we decided to visit The Old Malaya Café for something light.

I ordered the Popiah Roll at $2.80 each.

There were a good choice of ingredients in the popiah filling include grounded peanuts which makes the overall popiah fragrant. Though I prefer my popiah with egg skin, this plain popiah skin is also soft textured.

Will go back for more dishes from the Café in due course.

Yu Sheng a “must try” dish for every Lunar New Year. But the question would be “where to try Yu Sheng this year”.

This has become an ubiquitous Singapore tradition of the Prosperity Toss to welcome the New Year for better fortune, good health and the list goes on.

A salad dish with thinly sliced fish most common “salmon” and a mixture of variety of colourful shredded vegetables with a variety of sauces and condiments added.

Traditionally, the fish served with Yu Sheng was mackerel, but other seafood such as abalone, lobster may be used instead. The colourful choices of julienned vegetables such as yams or radishes are dyed red and green with food colouring. Included are white radish, carrots and cucumbers. Pomelo and red picked ginger are also added in some servings. Crispy crackers symbolizing “gold ingots” is a must have ingredient.

Putien “Yu Sheng” has a flavorful twist of added seaweeds from the city of Putien. The ingredients combined representing all the blessings you would want in the New Year for many auspicious days ahead.

Prices ranging from S$26.80++ (small), S$36.80++ (medium) and S$49.80++ (large).

Back to Ah Orh few days later in the evening as we heard some much about their "orh luak" in Teochew.

This plate of Oyster Omelette cost S$13.00.This Teochew version of oyster omelette was fluffy and tasty unlike the crisp version.

Sinfully delicious cooked with fresh oysters from Thailand.

Another must try dish from Ah Orh.

An article written about Ah Orh found at the entrance of the restaurant.
