warm warm soup Smile Mar 20, 2013

Was craving for some quality soup so I decided to head to this place for lunch. ordered my usual simon and garfunkel soup. was glad that my points card had accumulated $6.50 inside so I upsize my meal - bigger bowl of soup served with half wrap and a drink.

I like my western soup to be filled with chunks of goodies, and soup spoon definitely does not fail to do that. My large bowl of soup was filled with chicken chunks and mushroom, that makes me full after finishing it. As for the wrap i chose masala chicken, was warned by the store manager that it will be spicy - but to me it was still acceptable.

As there are only a limited seats available, you might need to wait for an available seat during lunch crowd/dinner crowd.

Ramen OK Mar 20, 2013

Heard about all the talking about this newly opened Ramen chain from Japan, so I decided to check this out. I had the Aoyama Special Tonkotsu Ramen ($15) after walking for a few rounds deciding which ramen stall i should go to. Not sure if I had make the right choice because I don't really like how this ramen taste. The soup base is oily and salty, though it tasted good on the first sip. The char siew meat is salty too.. Good thing about the ramen is the tamago egg which is cook to perfection - runny egg yolk in the middle.

Bottom line is, I had better ramen at a cheaper price.

Lor Mee Smile Mar 20, 2013

Categories : Singaporean Chinese | Hawker Centre | Noodles

Was quite surprised that the stall is still open during dinner hours (last time it used to open only in the morning till late afternoon) so I decided to settle my dinner with a bowl of pipping hot lor mee. I used to not like lor mee at all cos there's this weird taste and smell but ever since I first try 178 lor mee years ago, I start to change my view of this dish.

The difference between 178 lor mee and other lor mee outside is that their gravy is not as thick. It is smooth and light instead. a bowl of $3 lor mee comes with a few slices of meat and also their signature fried shark meat. serving wise was big and filling.

For me i love to add a lot of dark vinegar and chili to spice up the this dish.

Last minute decision to visit this place for a steamboat dinner. It was empty when we reached and was usher to a spacious 4 seats table. The shop is empty, except for 2 or 3 table of customer inside thus it wasn't as noisy as other steamboat shops (until a group of 10 students came in towards to end of our meal...)

Get to choose 2 soup base (as usual, the yuan yang style) and of cos we chose one signature laksa broth and the other the herbal soup base. Service was fast for the steamboat ingredients and they was place nicely in a large plate, good enough for the amount of people dining. Waited a bit for the fried food, which I get to know why. The kitchen staff will only fried it after it was being ordered, to ensure that these food and being served hot. How considerate they are, rather than fried a huge pot of it, cool it at a corner and served it when the customers order it. Definitely a huge plus point for me. Thumbs up for their prawn paste chicken wings - juicy and well marinated. Same goes to their fried mantou, samosa and beancurd too!

Their steamboat ingredients are the usual stuff - mixture of meat, seafood, veggies and Yong Tau Foo. Like their stuffed taupok though, after dipping them into the laksa broth. The meat however, was a little disappointment for me as they are rolled up and freeze - makes it difficult to "unroll" it back to the usual sliced one and after being cooked in the soup, the meat will become tough to chew. The chicken however, is thawed before served.

I like the herbal chicken broth aftermath - tasted sooo good (though salty) and it was one of the better one I had. The laksa broth however, was way too salty so after awhile I actually stop eating ingredients which is being cooked inside there.

There are only 3 waitresses on shift that night. It wasn't very packed so service was prompt. Guess because it was weekday night? Wonder if the service will be that fast if the restaurant is packed with people during weekends.

Think they had increases the price per person to $23.80++ instead of $20.80++. Drinks are excluded in the buffet list and each can of drinks is sold at $1.80 each.

Will definitely be back again for more steamboat!

very Q meepok! Smile Mar 14, 2013

Categories : Japanese | Korean | Hawker Centre

Amoy Street Food Centre is one of the food centre (or how we locals say, hawker centre) in Singapore where you get to try all sort of local food in just one stop. Amoy Food Centre offer more than 100 stalls of delicacies, be it on the ground floor or the second floor, it will be difficult for you to find a place to enjoy a meal during peak hour, so you gotta be early in order to "chop" the seats.

Was there due to work purpose and was so spoil for choices, so I just follow the queue and crowd for this fish ball noodle - Ah Ter's Fishball Noodle. Ordered the small bowl of mee pok dry at $3.50, comes with 2 handmade fish balls, minced meat, fish dumpling and some fishcake. The meepok is one of the best I had - very very Q and not soggy nor lumpy like how many noodles tends to be after it is being cooked. Their fishball is good, too, and 1 bite of it and u will know it is really handmade and not frozen kind. The soup is very tasty too, without feeling thirsty after I drank the whole bowl.

Now I know why it always attract such a long queue as compared to the other stalls selling the same thing. Definitely recommending it!
