Taiwanese cuisine OK Mar 21, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Taiwanese

After strolling a while around JEM looking for a place for dinner, we finally decided on Lee's Taiwanese, which we had passed by so many times but have yet to tried it.

Taiwanese Beef Noodle ($14)
The noodle used is the thick flat type, similar to the noodle used for dark sauce Hokkien Mee. The thickness and fullness of the noodle was just right, with generous portion of tender beef slices laying on top of the noodle. Soup-wise, it was a normal one. Overall, I felt that the price lean on steep side judging from the taste.

 
Salt & Pepper Chicken ($6.90)
Although this looked like pop corn chicken, the chicken chunks used here were slightly bigger. It was crispy outside while tender juicy inside. The seasoning was done well, not too salty but still had its fragrant.

 
Snow Bean Curd ($3.8)
The beancurd was not as soft as what we usually had, it was actually kind of ...bouncy.

 
Baby bak choy ($4.8)
The bak choy was served with pork belly, quite a new combination to me. The pork belly had been braised so it was rather tasty.

Lunch at Farmart OK Mar 21, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Seafood

We were at Farmart and settled at Cheng's Seafood Village for our lunch. 

Sambal Mussels ($10/)
No more mussels for the day, so this was actually sambal lala. To be frank, I have tried sambal lala that is much much better than this. This one was ok but lack the intensity of the taste.

Signature Deep fried beancurd ($10)
This was so addictive! The beancurd were fried evenly without being too oily. They got wiped out within minutes.

Seaweed soup ($5)
The soup was decent, not overly salty and there were many ingredients inside. Totally worth the price paid. I almost mistaken it as seafood soup instead.

Cuttlefish rojak
I was really excited to see slices of cuttlefish lying on top of the rojak! Not the conventional rojak you found in the coffeeshop, right? You can even find fresh cuttlefish in the rojak.

Katong Laksa Smile Mar 20, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean Chinese | Coffeeshop | Noodles

Although it was a hot day, we decided to bring the heat to the next level by having the 363 katong laksa. My laksa cost $4. Despite its plain and simple look, the smell is tempting enough to get you dive right in. The laksa came with prawns, fish cakes, bean sprout, and laksa leaves (yes, I asked for no cockles. I can either choose to please my stomach or my taste bud, in this case my choice was the former one). The laksa tasted fragrant, there were ample laksa leaves, which I love. I strongly recommend you to add some sambal for that extra kick, it wasn't that spicy, at least to me.

Categories : Chinese | Hawker Centre | Ramen

This is one of my favorite ramen places in hawker center. I love their dry ramen ($3.5) best, mainly because of the sambal they use. They always put two types of sambal on the counter for self-service, one of it being the sour-ish, watery type in bright red color, while the other one is drier and in dark red color. I like to add extra sambal (the darker color one, which I think it complement the dry ramen better) to my ramen for extra kick. The dry ramen came with two deep fried dumplings, vege, and minced meat. My only complaint was that the fried dumpling is usually too hard, not crispy enough and there was barely any fillings inside.

Italian food Smile Mar 18, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Italian | Middle Eastern/Mediterranean | European | Pasta | Steaks and Grills

We were around the Bukit Timah area and decided to have our lunch at Saizeriya. As far as I could remember, the food are cheap and the quality is good for the price.
Genovese spaghetti ($5.9)
The spaghetti was done al-Dante, paired with fresh basil sauce, olive oil and cheese. The sauce was on the oily side but was rather fragrant. Look at the color! It looked so green that I wondered if they had added any coloring. 

 
Spaghetti chicken bolognese ($3.9)
This tomato sauce was light and sweet, the perfect taste to entertain kids. The serving was just right, enough to make you feel full but still leaving spaces for sides or desserts.

 
Pork with black pepper chicken steak ($8.9)
If you can't decide whether you want to have pork or chicken, don't need to crack your head over it, this dish offered you both. The meat was fine, just like how it is expected from food court, nothing fancy but nothing screwed up either. We liked it that the black pepper sauce was served separately and not poured on the meat, so that we can enjoy the dipping games .

 
Seafood chowder ($3.4)
There were clams, and some vegetables in this creamy soup. At this price, I have tasted many worst off version. I was actually quite surprise that this one turned out fine. It was above my expectation given the price paid.

 
Butter corn ($2.9)
It was ... buttery! The corn was slightly overcooked though.

 
Focaccia with garlic butter ($2.2)
Actually it looked more like naan. The bread was rather chewy and we had it last. Just chew on and on .... while waiting for the rest to finish their food.

 
Chicken wing ($3.95)
We ordered the 4-piece set. The chicken wings were crispy, but not burnt, while the meat was juicy and tender. I can't find fault with this one at all, this is something that I will come back for.

 
For additional $3.9, you get to complete your meal with a small salad and get drink bar free refill. If you are not keen for the salad, you can just pay $2.8 for the drink bar free refill. 

 
Overall, the food here wasn't great, it was kind of sub standard but certainly worth the price you paid for. As long as you adjust your expectation accordingly you will be pleasantly surprised. For us, we enjoyed our meals and we love the wide variety of food offered here.
