Spinach noodle OK Jan 13, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean Chinese | Hawker Centre | Noodles

We like spinach noodle, but those that we usually had were often slightly chewy and springy in texture, similar to al-dante spaghetti. This spinach noodle ($4) has no chewiness in it, the char siew and chilli was average too. The dumpling, surprisingly, was yummy! The fillings were not full of flour and we found a whole prawn inside each dumpling!

Fried baby squid prawn mee OK Jan 13, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Coffeeshop | Noodles

My first reaction when I saw my fried baby squid prawn mee ($5) was 'where is the Opeh leaf?'. Apparently, they only serve it on noodle costing more than $5. The noodle came in three different sizes, $3.5, $5, and $8. There is no 'wok hei' in the noodle, not so much the style that I like. It was supposed to be an award winning dish though.

Have you been to a farm in Singapore? I haven't, not until now! The Bollywood Veggies is a ten-acre farm, located at Kranji. There are wide variety of plantations there, ranging from flowers, herbs and spices to fruit trees. You can take a relaxing stroll in the farm while enjoying the greenery. Depending on the season, they will harvest some of their fruits or vegetables for sale on site.

 
Poison Ivy Bistro is located inside Bollywood Veggies, near the entrance. It has a rather rustic countryside setting. We had a peaceful and relaxing dining experience there. Despite the secluded location, their business seems good! When we finally finished our stroll and decided it was time to fill up our stomachs, we were told that the indoor dining area was fully booked, and it was during a weekday lunch time!

Their menu was written on this big black board.

 
Get revitalised with these Cold Lemongrass Drink ($2) and Hot Fig Tea ($2)! They were refreshing and most importantly, not those artificially sweet beverages and you will be able to taste the natural wonder of the ingredients inside.

We ordered a salad - Roasted Pumpkin with Parmesan Cheese and Roast Corn ($8). The dressing served was mint yoghurt. Pumpkin was sweet and roasted until tender, with a hint of balsamic vinegar.

I was slightly taken aback by the name of this curry, it is called Warrior's Chicken Curry ($10). Turned out that it was not as spicy as I thought, but the sauce was thick enough to my liking. I poured it all over my rice.

Farm minestrone soup with bread - the consistency of this soup is thicker than what we usually have. The bread, instead of being dipped inside the soup, I used it to wipe clean the curry sauce!

This was the Twice Cooked Pandan Lemongrass Kampong Chicken ($14), under the Ang Mo Specials. The chicken was a tad dry but the marination was flavorful. We saw few feathers left on the chicken though.

Taste-wise, the food here is slightly above average. Experience-wise, surrounded by the greenery, away from the bustle of the city life, no wonder despite the secluded location the place was almost full house.

I will be back, for sure! Smile Jan 10, 2014

I always love Malaysia food, so flavorful and full of variety. When Malaysia Food Street opened at the Resort World Sentosa, I went, but it was too far for me. Now that there is another Malaysia food place opened at West, I will certainly be back for more!

This is Penang Fried Kway Teow. The queue was always very long, but today, we made up our mind to try it no matter what. Since we had queued for so long, we ordered the biggest portion. tongue There is no 'ham', but lots of tauge and prawns.

This is Malaysia version of Hokkien Mee, thick noodle was used, and the noodle was stir fried in dark sauce, with lots of lard. It was very fragrant, but certainly not for the health conscious one...

Lastly, chicken rice, ordered by a friend so didn't get to try it. The chicken looks tender though.

The place was always crowded, so be prepared to wait for at least 5-10 minutes for your seat. There is no high chair provided too.

Waffle Burger anyone? OK Jan 10, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Desserts and Cakes | Burgers and Sandwiches

I like waffle, and I like burger, but waffle burger? I have yet to try until now!

This is their star dish - Griddy Burger. The beef patty was handmade and secured inside the mushroom waffle. I was kind of disappointed though as I was expecting the waffle to be more crispy. Overall, it was an average burger.

I think waffles are still better served sweet. So, we ordered rocher banana. It has a scoop of rocher gelato on top of caramelized sliced bananas. The waffle was crispy and all of us love it! No photos here though, it was finished up too fast!
