I have been eating the 'Fishball Noodles' over here ever since I was a kid. As for the reason why, it's pretty straightforward.

 

 
'Fishball Noodles' - $2.50
For a start, the stall owner has added the correct amount of sauce into the bowl of 'Kway Teow'. After you stir the 'Kway Teow' thoroughly, the taste of the bowl of 'Kway Teow' are heavenly. And that's just the beginning... The stall owner are making all the fishballs himself and all of them are pretty bouncy and fresh. On top of that, these delicious 'Fishballs' doesn't come with the fishy smell at all. By the way, the stall owner over here always serve a generous portion of ingredients, which is an ideal place for big eaters like me. lol

 
By the way, here's a photo of the stall itself.

Not just Pasta and Sausages... Smile Oct 18, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : European | Pasta | Paella

This would be my first visit to the new shopping mall 'Jem'. Rather than walking around the shopping mall aimlessly, I was actually invited to a food tasting event at a 'European Restaurant'. And the following are the list of items that we have tasted that day. lol

 

 

 
'Roasted Pork Knuckle (Half)' served with Sauerkraut, Light Brown Sauce and Mashed Potato
'Pork Knuckle', a difficult delicacy to savour. So why is it a difficult delicacy? While trying out the 'Pork Knuckle' that different types of restaurants are offering, I find the part of cutting the extremely crispy skin to be the most annoying. Some of the 'Pork Knuckle' out there in the market are as hard as a rock and the dining experience could easily turn into an unpleasant one. As for the 'Pork Knuckle' over here, they have nicely sliced it up into small slices, which makes it much more easier to be shared among a group of friends. Although I find parts of the skin to be a bit too tough, but the meat is pretty tender and it goes well with all the side dishes.

 
'CurryWurst'
Though it's known as 'CurryWurst', it's actually 'Bratwurst'(a type of German Sausage) topped with 'Curry Powder', 'Ketchup' and 'Onions'. The 'CurryWurst' were crispy on the outside and it's juicy, bouncy and tender on the inside. On top of that, the nice mixture between the taste of the 'Curry Powder' and the 'Sausage' is heavenly and it's worth a big (+). Fries wise, isn't something special, but you can dipped it in the sauce to enhance the taste of the fries even further.

 

 
'Baby Scallop & Flying Fish Roe - Squid Ink Sauce'
This is a plate of 'Black Coloured Pasta' topped with Japanese 'Hotate'(Scallop). Though the overall texture of the 'Pasta' is slightly a bit oily, but the overall taste is pretty interesting. In fact, there's a mix of butter and squid ink in every single bite, which is amazingly interesting. tongue

 
'Apple Crisp'
Probably because I'm not a big fan of chocolate, therefore out of all the desserts that I have tried over here, I find the taste of this to be the best. It's a slice of apple pie topped with a scoop of 'Vanilla' ice cream and sweet 'Caramel' syrup.

水粿 - ABC? (A Broken Chinese) Smile Oct 10, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean Chinese | Hawker Centre

 
S$2.40 for 8 pieces.

Everyone has a different way of judging a good 'Chwee Kueh'. Some goes for the 'Dried Radish', some goes for the texture of the 'Chwee Kueh', some goes for the 'Chilli' and some of them would be looking at the combination of all 3 factors. As for myself, I go for the chilli of the 'Chwee Kueh' and the chilli that they are offering over here are fantastic and I love it... The crunchy and generous portion of 'Dried Radish' and the soft 'Chwee Kueh' are a big (+) too.

Even though, the overall taste of the 'Chwee Kueh' have dropped over the last 20+ years, but it's still remains to be pretty good. And I can empty the whole plate of 'Chwee Kueh' and all the ingredients effortlessly.

However, I still prefer the taste back then where 'Chwee Kueh' were once offered at a price of S$1 for 5 pieces and Tiong Bahru Market used to be a wet market. tongue

This is one of the places that I have been visiting for the past few years for delicious and affordable western food. Best of all, they won't charge you the ridiculous 10% service charge at some of the branches, unlike some other restaurants that will charge you a 10% service charge when they have absolutely no services at all. I still remember that they only used to have a branch at Katong only, but over the past few years, they have been opening a branch after another and now I could say that they were widely spread around Singapore.

 
Crispy Fried Chicken with 2 Side-dish(Potato Salad and Mashed Potato)
Most of the main dishes at Astons will come 2 side dishes. In fact, sometimes for the sake of the good sides dishes, rather than placing an order for the 'Double Chicken Set', I would place an order for 2 different types of 'Chicken set meal' and that would give you 4 side dishes to choose. The 'Potatoes' in the 'Potato' salad are crunchy and nice, in comparison the 'Mashed Potato' are gluey and yummy too. In fact, I have tried most of the side dishes over here and most of them are pretty yummy and delicious. Even though the 'Crispy Fried Chicken' is succulent and crispy, but when you are comparing it with the side dishes, the amount of excitement that I'm getting from the side dishes are far more than the main dish. tongue

Dim Sum is meant for Supper? Smile Aug 20, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Chinese | Restaurant | Dim Sum

Probably, during different parts of the day, one would try to eat different kinds of food. As for me, eating Dim Sum in the middle of the night was quite an interesting experience. Usually, Dim Sum were the kind of food that you would eat for Breakfast but eating it for supper was a completely different experience for me.

 
After I have given the 'Carrot Cake' over here a good try, I have been a big fan of this 'Dim Sum' place for at least 3-4 years. The 'Carrot Cake' not only come with a generous portion, the fragrance and the taste are fantastic too and the nice crispy texture would be something that one could look forward to.

The 'Yang Chun Mian' over here would be something that I would highly recommend too. The Noodles are handmade by one of the chefs over here and it's pretty chewy and springy. Even though it doesn't come with a lot of ingredients, but it's definitely something that the Noodles lovers shouldn't miss.

By the way, the 'Har Gao'(Shrimp Dumplings) over here are a big (+) too. The amount of fresh prawns added into the 'Dim Sum' are extremely generous. I wonder why didn't the prawns burst out of the Dumplings itself. By the way, one thing that I like about the 'Har Gao' over here would be the nice balance between the skin and the ingredients used in the process of making this 'Dim Sum'.

(However, too bad that have impose the additional charges into the dine-in 'Dim Sum' orders already. I kinda miss the cheap 'Dim Sum' that they were offering back then.)
