Sauce is the same OK Aug 26, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Teochew | Coffeeshop

First thing you observe is you no longer see the crowd and the servers dun seem that familiar. I recall always seeing the uncle with black frame specs taking my orders. Anyway at this new location, they are just meters away from mustafa centre. Human traffic is there but parking may still be a concern. Tip will be to park at mustafa and leave within an hour, i remember mustafa is free parking for 1st hour or something. They occupied 2 units at this kim san leng coffee shop. From the signage i can see usual kang kong and toufu, but there's also dishes like sambal sotong and prawn. Initially they were also offering noodles and yam rice as an option but have since removed it from the menu. I ordered 1 person portion with porridge. I first tasted the sauce, glad the sauce quality was still good, sweet and slightly starchy. But the meat seems to have dropped in quality, i no longer taste the smooth and soft duck meat, this time it was slightly tougher and dry. Chilli is still the same, mixture of belachan and light chiili sauce. For the 1 pax portion and 1 porridge , it cost $5.50. Certainly hope the quality improves else at this kind of pricing in this area, they may struggle soon IMO. By the way, its self service now instead of being served.

No Memory of Tokyo OK Aug 23, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Restaurant | Ramen

Still not convinced that the Tokyo version is better, I decided to make a return to Menya Musashi. I ordered the ala carte Cha Shu Ramen Special which comes with the Black Tora Soup and also Dokko Octopus. This costs $15.90 before GST and the set lunch one cost $14.90, for a merely $1 more, you get one more cha shu and also the fried beancurd skin instead of the seaweed. It made me wonder if the set lunch is not value for money. Was hoping the server give some recommendations but no. Took around 10min for the food to arrive. Presentation wise not impressed, with the meat shielded by the beancurd skin. You get 2 round sized cha shu and half a tamago egg. Soup was nice, deeply flavoured but i find it a tad oily and most importantly could not bring back my memory of tokyo. The octopus is nice but pretty much many other places can match the quality. Overall just an average eat but if you would like a quiet ramen joint to eat on your own in the afternoon after peak hour, this is the place.

Guava Sour Plum Smile Aug 21, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Hawker Centre | Juices

Not shown on menu, my recommendation is to get the $2 guava juice with sour plum. While most places offer you the sugar cane version, i actually find guava a better option and healthy too. And they are genrous with the sour plum givem, 4 in totali counted. The same stall also sells agar agar, yakult based drinks and cut fruits. Competition is tough here but auntie remembers me well due to our weekly visits for late night dinner after games at the nearby ccab.

Its not herbal but pepper OK Aug 14, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean Chinese | Restaurant | Bak Kut Teh

Have always wanted to try this bak kut teh joint after seeing it always buzzling with people. There are 2 units for this joint along the shop huse, one is aircon setting while the other is not, prices wise they are the same. I always had the impression that this place serves the herbal version instead of the peppery one but i was wrong, they serve the pepper version as well. Ordered premium loin ribs which has more meat and also lean, braised pig trotters, groundnuts, kai lan and one you tiao. Wet tissue are at 20 cents each, also add 7% gst on top of your bill. I wouldn't say i'm entirely satisfied with this meal, maybe i had too much expectation, most of the dishes taste normal to me and i could not understand the reason behind the crowd. The soup is darker than most pepper version but it did not impress me enough.

But it does still hv the buzz of a old coffee house with option of drinking kungfu tea though i hardly see people doing it as most are younger working crowds diners.

New Joint by JP Pepperdine Smile Aug 14, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Korean | Restaurant | Korean BBQ

Came by this new SAFRA clubhouse to recce for some food place when i chance upon this new Korean BBQ concept by JP pepperdine (the same folks behing jack's place, brewbaker etc). Its smacked right between Hoshigaoga and Astons at the 1st level, enter the glass door beside new zealand ice cream. The 1st impression of the place was pretty good, spacious, nice deco, several chimneys like exhaust seen, lcd tvs playing kpop. There were 4 tables eating bbq food but fortunately the place is well exhausted so you do not get overwhelmed by smoke. The stove used is an inclined one whereby excess oil from bbqing the food will be drained away, nice thought actually. The staff places customers orders via small android tablets as well.

 

 
Wanted to try their bbq set lunch at $12.80++ but its applicable to minimum 2 pax per set so i settled for the individual set lunch instead. No bbq option for this but i spotted something i like - kimchi pork belly stew with rice. Though not a fan of kimchi but i do like kimchi flavored soup. The set lunch is applicable from 11am - 230pm. It also comes with free buffet of kimchi and korean side dishes. Just a small selection i must say compared to what most other korean bbq restaurants offer. But i do like the carrot slices, lotus root, lady finger and fresh green lettuce. Was quite disappointed by the small bowl of stew that was served but fortunately the taste made up for it. In it you find mixed vegetables, toufu and the main ingredient pork belly. The sour soup base certainly ensures that i finish my bowl of rice with it! Its not too bad actually eating the rice with the kimchi soup and having the korean sides dishes as accompanying dishes.

My total bill was $10.50, including the 10% safra card discount. 10% svc charge and 7% GST are inclusive as well.

If i have to gripe, it would be about not serving complimentary ice water and maybe to have more sociable staff who will bother to check if its your 1st visit and if you would require any recommendations etc.
