Signature Dishes
I needed to grab a quick before heading back to the office. I ordered one of their signature dishes the chicken rendang. The first impression I had when the dish was served, the gravy seems too thin to be rendang. Looks more like curry chicken. The dish comes with a drum stick, ikan bilis with fried peanuts, acar (pickled vegetables), and the special chilli sauce and served with piping hot fragrant rice. Today I got an egg as a bonus today cos the aunty told me the drum stick a little small.The first taste of the gravy tasted like curry instead of rendang, the drum stick does taste good, very soft and tasty, very easy to bite. The acar not overly sour makes eating easy. The crispy and crunchy ikan bilis with peanut sure add to the flavour. Mix each item and eat the rice, sure makes a good meal except for the gravy part.

Whenever I knew that I was going to have a long day, I would avoid going to my regular Amoy hunt to da-bao. Though tons of cheap & nice food beckoned over there, it's no joke to be coated with a layer of "hawker-centre food" smell which would worsened as the day prolonged.And today was such a day.Thus I made a detour and walked towards Tanjong Pagar Xchange (just smacked right above the MRT Station) instead. The first "proper food" stall that greeted me was Coffee & Toast. I checked out the menu and decided to indulge in a bowl of laksa (takeaway).The soup was a let-down. Though thick, it's sweet and not spicy at all. To think that I had actually requested for extra chilli... All that the chilli had contributed, was a layer of red oil on top of the soup, the beehoon, the dao-pok 豆干, the fishcakes, the.. everything!! I was sooooooo tempted to throw in my tissue to absorb the layer of oil first.. The big-plus redeeming factor, however, was the generousity of the ingredients given. There were many pieces of floating dao-pok 豆干, all soaked nice and soft in the hot soup (yummy!!), amidst their sliced fishcake and ikan bilis (yes, ikan bilis - not dried shrimps) neighbours. The was even a WHOLE hardboiled egg inside! Overall, it was a satisfying meal, though oily. And at $3.60, it didn't come cheap too.
