I was having lunch at Serangoon Garden Way Market and Food Centre as I was getting bored of dining near my house or in the school's canteen and decided to feast at somewhere special. I happened to pass by this curry puff stall. It has a long history and was featured in variety TV shows. I heard that the curry puffs they sell are good, so I decided to try one. The curry puff is golden brown and bigger than any curry puff I have seen in Singapore. It appears like it has much curry filling in comparison to curry puffs from other stalls. The pastry is crispy and is neither too thin nor too thick. The filling is spicier than those in curry puffs I have tried before. The bite-sized potato cubes are soft and becomes mash once chewed. The hard-boiled egg pieces add a fragrant flavour to the curry puff.

What a nice piece of curry puff I had! I don't mind having another one next time.

Feeling hungry and craving for good food, I decided to make a tour to Tiong Bahru Market to see if there is anything nice to eat. I happened to come across this lor mee stall with a name that sounded weird to me. I feel that anyone who runs the stall included the numbers "178" in the stall name probably because they feel that it will make their business prosper. The numbers "178" sound to me like "yi qu fa", which means "prosper once given" in Mandarin. I went there and saw a lot of good reviews about the stall. I bet they are all about the lor mee with shark nuggets which they sell. Hence, I decided to try out the dish to find out what is so good about it.The yellow noodles are drenched in dark gravy before topping up with shark nuggets, dough fritters and sliced pork. I have put the chopped garlic, chili sauce and then the chopped coriander roughly at the centre of the dish to make the dish look more appealing. The noodles are broad, thick and springy. The dark gravy is sticky, looks like gel and tastes savoury. The nuggets look big and are crispy but becomes soft when dipped in the gravy. The shark meat within the nugget is soft and flossy. The small dough fritters are soft and chewy but are a bit crispy and crunchy. The pieces of pork are bite-sized, bouncy and tender. The chopped garlic and chili sauce make the whole bowl of noodles taste hot and spicy.

Wow, I have never had such a bowl of lor mee before. It is so delicious. I can come there for a bowl of noodles the next time.

I have heard of this wurst stall in Chinatown. It is small but full of good food. This stall is run by an Austrian chef who is popular in Singapore. Not only is he known all over the island, the sausages he prepared are enjoyed by many in Singapore. I have never been there for a long time, so I thought of coming there, saying "Guten Tag" to the chef and then trying out the sausages from this stall. I had this mini combo the stall sells. It is a mix of cuts of two types of sausages, spicy pork which is red and chicken which is white, served on a small paper box with a toothpick. I ate the sausages with mustard and tomato sauce, something that Westerners will do. The pieces of sausages looked charred on one side. Inside a piece of sausage, the meat looks bright. There are even bits of chili in a piece of spicy pork sausage. The casing is soft but crispy and the inside is tender and springy. The spicy pork sausage is peppery hot. The tomato sauce looks like barbecue sauce but has the sweetness of tomatoes. The mustard adds a salty spicy flavour to the sausages. Not only is there wurst from the stall, the stall also sells traditional Austrian bread. I had this small loaf of bread the stall calls "Crispy Roll". The bread is hard and crispy on the outside as the name goes but soft and chewy on the inside. It somehow looks and tastes like baguette. Not only the bread tastes good with the wurst, it can quench any bit of spiciness from the spicy pork sausage and the mustard.

I really love this small platter of sausages with the bread from this stall. The food is "lecker", which means delicious in German.

I had never gone to the food centre at Chinatown. It was until this afternoon that I came to this place. I decided to try out the food from this stall because I heard that the food from this stall is good.First off, a dish of chee cheong fun and yam cake is what I had. The cuts of chee cheong fun are put on top of the pieces of yam cake. The yam cake and chee cheong fun are served with sesame oil, chili sauce and dark sweet sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds that make the dish appetising. The yam cake is pale purple and does not have any cube of yam appearing on its surface. It is soft and springy. It has a slight yam taste. The chee cheong fun is factory made. It is smooth but not as soft and springy as handmade ones. However, the sesame oil, chili sauce and dark sweet sauce add flavours to the dish. Hence, together with the yam cake, the chee cheong fun tastes better with all three of these. If yam cake and chee cheong fun is not enough, a glutinous rice dumpling is included in the list of what I had for lunch too. The dumpling is unwrapped and cut into pieces before serving. It is stir-fried glutinous rice dumpling with salted egg yolk. The glutinous rice on the surface is brown and looks oily and glossy. The rice is sticky and chewy. The meat in the dumpling is minced. That surprises me because I thought the meat should come in big chunks. Nonetheless, it still has a bit of its meaty flavour but is a bit too hard to chew. The chestnut is soft and becomes a gritty mash in my mouth. The salted yolk is crumbly and not so golden yellow. However, it is best to have a salted egg yolk in the dumpling. The egg yolk is not too salty. It adds its unique eggy flavour to the dumpling.

Well, I have never had such nice food before. The dishes looks and tastes good but can be improved from my point of view. I do not mind coming there once more.

I have never had hor fun for a long time. Hence, during lunch hours, I came to this stall at Ghim Moh Food Centre for a dish of beef hor fun. This is something the stall is known for.

There are slices of beef on top of the hor fun and pieces of vegetables on the side of the hor fun. The whole dish is covered in gravy that contains bits of eggs which make the dish appealing. The hor fun is smooth and springy. The beef is tender and chewy. The pieces of vegetables are crunchy. The gravy is smooth but a bit too salty. The whole dish tastes great with some pickled chili.

The beef hor fun is a wonderful and tasty dish. I won't mind coming to the stall again.
