It's All About The Frog Smile Mar 23, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Hawker Centre | Porridge/Congee | Brunch

As you would have read, it's all about the frog at this food stall. Yes, it's their claypot frog leg porridge!

I've eaten here a few times already, although I would have more often. The thing is that the portions are really huge, so unless you have a HUGE appetite that day, i would suggest you bring a friend.

The first time i ordered from here, thank goodness i had my mum. They served us one big pot of porridge, which could have fed 2-3 people; and the gong bao frog leg was in another pot.

I don't know exactly how to describe the way it was prepared. It just looked just like gong bao chicken. Tasted the same as well. With the dried chilli and all.

Let me start with the porridge. It was very tasty on its own and it had a smooth consistency to its texture. The frog however, complemented it perfectly. It was uber delicious. But i found it a tad bit too spicy to actually enjoying it to the max.

It's a rare find for frog porridge to be sold at a market food centre like this, and i'm pretty glad i came across it.

Kopi Kopi Smile Mar 23, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Hawker Centre

Okay, so we think all drink stalls are just the same old drink stall. Who's to tell one from another? Aren't they all the same?

Well, that's what i thought too... till one morning, i went to the Bedok 85 food market to have my breakfast and to my horror, the queue at this stall was like a deja vu of the Hello Kitty craze.

I couldn't understand how a drink stall could command such demand. I sat nearby and what i noticed, was that most of the people in queue actually ordered coffee!

I went back another day - earlier this time because i had an agenda - to join the queue for my morning cuppa.

I know i sound like another typical kiasu Singaporean. But who's to say, my kiasu-ness could possibly be a blessing in disguise this time.

Finally got to my turn and ordered a kopi. The cup that my coffee was served in was a small teacup, like those traditional ones you see at Ya Kun.

I could smell the aroma of the coffee even before taking my first sip. And being the java-obsessed girl i am, i could immediately tell that this coffee shop lives up to its name. The flavor of the coffee was rich and thick, complemented by the aromatic fragrance - it made for a great perk-me-up for the day!

Best I Have Tasted Smile Mar 23, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean | Hawker Centre | Brunch

If you love chwee kway, you must definitely try this at some point in your life.

They have the best chwee kway ever! Before i first tried it, i heard that i was really good. So the other day, i ordered some to da bao for breakfast.

Even after i reached home about an hour later, the chwee kway still looked in top-form! I began by first trying it without the chai po, just to do a taste test of how good it really is. And to my surprise, eating it alone was already good enough. I could have finished it all without the chai po. For some reason, it tasted so so so good.

I had to control myself before i finished it all, so that i could try it with the chai po this time. What i love about the chai po is that it wasn't too oily, which is apparently the case in many places. This one seemed healthier was surely pleasure without the guilt.

Back to the chwee kway and the chai po taste test. The combination of both made the entire meal ten times better. But better in its own unique way. So whether i ate it without the chai po or with it, it would still taste yummy and delicious.

The texture was great, the taste was great and even the auntie at the stall was so nice. Made my day!! lol

A Rare Find OK Mar 23, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Peranakan / Nonya | Multi-Cuisine | Halal

Chilli Api is a caterer that specializes in nonya and malay food. I was surprise when i came across their website at first because i didn't even think such a caterer existed.

I ordered from them for a small-scale company party. Some of the things i ordered were laksa, kuih pie tee, mee siam, chendol, croissants with salmon, assorted dim sum trio, chicken shepherd's pie and golden yam nest.

Let me start off with this. Because it was a company party, it would only have been professional for them to deliver the food on time, or at most, no longer than 10 minutes later. But instead, the guy came about 45 mins late, and he was sweating like crazy as he was displaying the food on the table. I was extremely unappetizing and disgusting.

Seeing him struggle with tray after tray of food was also very disturbing. He was taking on the role of the driver and delivery man. So his job was indeed very difficult due to the fact that he had to park his van and carry one tray at a time to the office.

Thankfully, the food saved them. The food was very good. Everything tasted as though there was heart and soul put into preparation and cooking. But keep in mind that the stuff they have are rather pricey to me.

So unless you have high tolerance for bad service and high prices, don't ever use them for events like this. But if you are completely fine with it, the food is pretty good - i would say go for it!

Friendly BBQ Catering Service Smile Mar 23, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : BBQ | Kids-Friendly

I've been ordering my BBQ food items from BBQ House for quite some time now. I live in a condominium, so i have barbecues very often.

You can actually look at their menu on their website and you'll see that they have a whole range of bbq selections. From the usual chicken wings, mid-joint wings, drumlets, sausages, otah, satay, stingray, corn on the cob, sambal sotong, prawns, chicken fillet, baked potato, and the list goes on.

The food i've been ordering so far are very well-marinated and taste really good. Even their already cooked food items like fried rice, noodles and desserts are well done too.

The prices are also quite reasonable, based on comparisons with other bbq caterers in SIngapore.

The only issue i have with them, is that on certain occasions i find that the meat portions on the satay sticks are rather stingy. Looks rather pathetic even. But i guess they make up for it by giving free satay gravy, which many other bbq caterers don't offer.

To end this off on a good note, the staff i've talked to over the phone are very friendly. I have tried making changes to my orders and even cancelled orders over the phone before, and they were really nice about it. Probably why i keep returning to patronize them. tongue
