Tasty & Cheap Mee Rebus Smile Oct 22, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Hawker Centre

This is one of the cheapest and best tasting Mee Rebus to my family. It is located in the East between Tanah Merah MRT and Bedok MRT. It been around for more than 20 years. There is always a long queue, and the queue stretch to the opposite stall. The wait is worth it.
Mee Rebus $1.50

Mee Rebus $1.50

 
You can get your Mee Rebus fix without hard boiled egg for $1.20. We normally ordered the $1.50 version so that we can try other yummy food in the hawker center. For $1.50, you get 1 whole hard boiled egg, a lime, smaller portion of yellow noodles and bean sprout with sprinkle of fried shallots, chopped green chilli and tofu. The Hokkien noodle is coated with a lighter gravy. This addicting tasty gravy is made with small dried shrimps. You can topped some dark soya sauce if you prefer. If you cannot have enough of it order the biggest portion which cost only $2.

It is really rare in Singapore to have a $2 meal but you have it for as little as $1.20. Highly recommended ! The stall is located in the hawker stalls which has other yummy food and other good food in the nearby coffeeshops.

White Sesame Paste Smile Oct 22, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Cantonese/Hong Kong | Bakery

This 1920s shop specialised in egg tarts, traditional wedding cake, wife cake and traditional Chinese pastry. I stopped by to have a snack and bought one of the curry puff. The curry puff is not the usual type but a baked version with spicy and sweet curry chicken and boiled egg. It is like Japaneses curry chicken wrapped in a baked pastry. The taste is quite good if you do not mind that it is sweeter.

I was surprise to see they also see a range of hot traditional dessert, like Almond Paste, Black Sesame and the unsual White Sesame Paste. Since I have not tried the white sesame paste, I decided to order a bowl to try.

I sat down in the marble topped table and my bowl of white sesame paste came piping hot. It looks like my favorite Walnut Paste which they did not sell. I guess the creamy brown color came from frying the white sesame. The sweetness was just right and it was fragrant. It was so smooth with no lumps and burnt taste. I would have bought more of this dessert if I was going home straight.

I am still craving for it and I think this is the only place that I know of that sell the white version of Sesame Paste. Do
gave it a try if you are near Chinatown.
White Sesame Paste $2.50

$10 Korean Set Lunch Meals Smile Oct 19, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Korean | Restaurant | Buffet | Korean BBQ

We went to the popular Korean Restaurant in Tanjong Pagar. Their Korean BBQ buffet is highly popular but it is only available for for dinner. We came with the intention to have Ala cart BBQ, but it requires us to order 2 portions of the same type of meat before they will open the grill. There was only 2 of us which is too much to order with another main dishes. So we ended up ordering their Lunch Special.

The Lunch Special was placed at the back of the menu and most items is priced at a affordable price of $10 ++

The place is simply decorated with tables and chairs. The table has built in grilled for BBQ.

When we were seated, a lady place a cold bottle of mineral water and 1 can of lemon tea which we did not order. She said it was free drinks. We decided on the lunch special for

Sides Dishes
We were served with 6 sides dishes. I liked most of the taste and texture of the sides dishes especially the mini potato and egg plants.

Crispy Seaweed
I like the crispy seaweed that add a crunchy texture to my plain rice.

Soya Glace Mini Potato
The mini potato is cooked with the skin and has a glossy dark sweet glace on it with a nice soft bite.
Free Sides Dishes

Free Sides Dishes

 
Spicy Egg Plant
The Egg Plant was fried with tiny shrimp & slightly spicy and the texture was just right.

[b]Spicy Bean Curd Puff
The sliced Bean Curd Puff was coated with some chilli powder and it was spicy.

Fish Cake
The sliced fish cake is thin and different from our local version. It cooked in a sweet gravy.

Cabbage Kimchi
The kimchi was spicy and sour and well fermented and is very appertising with steaming hot rice.

Saba & Pork Set
Both sets came with bowl of rice served in their traditional stainless steel bowl with cover.
We get half a Saba fish which was fried crispy on the skin and still moist inside.
Saba & Grilled Porks

Saba & Grilled Porks

 
The Pork Set served on a hotplate look spicy with the orange color sauce but for me it is not very spicy. The portion is decent for 1 person or 2 persons sharing if you order other set as well. The only complaint is that the pork was sliced too thick, it would have been better if the pork is thinly sliced.

Overall the food is tasty especially the free sides dishes and value for money as it comes with free drink. At $10++ per head in air-con comfort, it is value for money.

Service
We were served the bill just before 2pm even though I have not finished eating and did not asked for the bill. I paid thinking the cashier wants to closed the account. Then someone wanted to clear the table even though I was still eating. We still had a almost full hotplate of pork and my rice bowl was not empty. The staffs should be reminded with better service.

Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Desserts and Cakes

This little shop is at the covered bridge that link Bugis Junction to Bugis +. It sells only 1 product that is imported Mochi from Japan.

Mochi is a Japaneses rice cake made from Glutinous Rice flour. It has a range of flavors like Sakura, Chestnut Cream, Purple Potato, Green Tea, Mango Yogurt etc. It start from $2.50 to $2.80.
Sakura & Chestnut Mochi

Sakura & Chestnut Mochi

 
It is shaped round and has a snowy appearance and it soft and chewy when it it thawed after 20mins. When you buy it it frozen. The Sakura flavor has a nice baby pink color with light white powder that look like snow. Taste of Sakura was lightly fragrant and was not too sweet.
[IMG1]
The Chestnut Cream has a light yellow appearance and a smooth chestnut cream.

If you buy less than 6 pieces. Each piece is individual wrapped in a wax paper which form a cone. So it is easy to hold and eat the mochi. I noticed they have a box for 6 pieces and is nice as a gift.

Hakka Yong Tau Foo. Smile Sep 21, 2012   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Hakka | Chinese | Coffeeshop

This stalls is located inside the coffee shop next to Siglap Centre. It is separated by a canal. Previously it was occupied by the famous Fu Lin Yong Tau Foo which moved a few doors away to occupied an entire shop. I heard their worker took over the stall and sells the same items. The last time I went to Fu Lin it does not starts until 10am so I prefer this stall as the taste is as good and it open early for breakfast and close around 7.45pm. But the Fu Lin Stall has another branch at 112 Katong selling each items at 70cents.
Yong Tau Foo

Yong Tau Foo

 
I like they re-fried all the fried items and it is crispy. It has lots of varieties and all items cost only 50cents each. They have sotong ball, fish ball, stuffed egg plant, stuffed bitter gourd and different type of beancurd items etc. The items are served hot with a light meat sauce gravy. You can request individual bowl of thick Bee Hoon which has a topping of meat sauce at extra cost. It has a sweet sauce and chilli sauce to go with your Yong Tau Foo. Unlike those in the hawker center or food court where you are served in soup, curry gravy or a dry version. This Is basicaly dry version with Meat sauce. It is the Hakka Yong Tau Foo style.

Taste wise it is as good as Fu Lin.
