Edible Kong Fu...

We were having our dinner over here. And rather than restricting ourselves to a type of food only, it will be much more interesting to place on order for different types of food, especially when there are more than a 150 food stalls over here. Things get more and more interesting especially when...

'Food that can be shared' Actually, one of the biggest (+) of a big hawker center would be the kind of food that they are offering over here. If you are hanging out as a big group, you will be pretty amazed with the number of dishes that can be shared among a group of people. For example, there's...

'Oyster Omelette'(蠔建) Yes, I do agree that the taste and the texture of the thick chilli is pretty alright. The batter of the 'Oyster Omelette' isn't that bad too. On top of that the big and fat oysters were handled and prepared properly too. However, the overall taste of the whole dish is pretty ordinary. I just couldn't figure out what has went wrong with this dish. Maybe it needs a bit of a magic touch?

'White Carrot Cake'(白蘿蔔糕) I can proudly say that I have just found another place that prepares good 'White Carrot Cake'. Loaded with lots of egg, the batter is pretty amazing for a start. Although it wasn't fully covered with a crispy skin, but the soft and tasty 'Carrot Cake' is pretty awesome. Not only it's tasty, it also comes with a nice aroma, which makes this a pretty rare sight(smell?) nowadays. Besides for the normal plate of 'Carrot Cake', they are also offering a plate of 'Carrot Cake' that comes with delicious prawns too.

So where can you give the 'Carrot Cake' a good try?

The name of this stall would be 'Yi Sheng Gong Fu(億勝功夫)'. It's located inside 'Old Airport Road Food Centre'.

The 2 Wings of a Chicken...

Everyone knows that a Chicken comes with 2 wings and different chefs will come up with their own special unique formula in order to savor it to the max. Hence...

'Half Spring Chicken' set The set comes with 2 complement side dishes. We ended up choosing the 'Potato Wedges' and the 'Chilled Mash Potato Salad. As a side dish, these 2 dishes are pretty interesting. The 'Potato Salad' seems to be a mixture of normal 'Chilled Potato' and 'Coleslaw'. As I pop one of them into my mouth, there's a nice mix of crunchy bits and mashed ingredients inside my mouth. And there's also a nice mix of different tastes, which is mainly made up of the 'Potato' and 'Coleslaw'. As for the 'Potato Wedges', My friend was simply too fast for me. As I was digging into parts of the Chicken, he has managed to wipe out all the wedges within minutes. O.O This is the first time I saw him wiping out all the ingredients at this rate, so I guess the wedges must be pretty good. As for the 'Spring Chicken', though it wasn't a relatively big one, but the taste is pretty good. First of all, they didn't try to fake the size of the 'Chicken' by covering it with a thick layer of flour and tries to deep fried it. The 'Spring Chicken' over here comes with a thin layer of crispy skin and on top of that, as you took a bite off the 'Chicken', you will be pretty amazed with the moist and juicy meat. Even though they didn't coat it with some special seasoning, but this doesn't stops me from finishing the chicken, which is both delicious and not too greasy at all.

'Chicken Wings' These are the real deal. Not only they are relatively big in size, these boring looking 'Chicken Wings' can be pretty deceiving when it comes to the taste. Pretty much similar to the 'Spring Chicken', the 'Chicken Wings' ain't covered in a thick layer of flour, what it has would be a thin layer of crispy skin too. On top of that, the skin isn't too greasy and oily, which is worth another (+). Though I started off using the fork and knife, but it gets kinda annoying when I couldn't wipe out all the meat from the different corners, therefore I decided to move on and use my bare hands to break the joint and wipe out all the delicious bits, which is pretty awesome.

So where can you give the 'Chickens' a good try?

Though looks kinda old but...

I have been having numerous meals around this area and I never thought that I can actually find such a stall over here. And here comes...

my lunch. It comes with a plate of Noodles mixed with 'Kway Teow' and a few types of ingredients.

For a start, the plate of Noodles comes with an acceptable portion and taste. The reason why I have gone ahead placing an order for a plate of Noodles is mainly due to the fact that some ingredients will taste much better when you have it with something else. Too bad they didn't offer other types of chilli's over here, else the plate of Noodles might have tasted much more better with sliced chillies. The Chinese sausage is pretty chewy and yummy for a start, but it's nothing as compared to the 'Otah'. Anyway, the 'Otah' that just left the barbecue stove minutes ago was fantastic. It's warm, yummy, spicy and at the same time, it has this nice texture. Best of all as I dig into it, the 'Otah' has this nice taste and aroma of spicy fish meat, which is a (+) to me.

'Chicken Wings'. One of the signature ingredients over here would be the 'Chicken Wings'. How amazing the 'Chicken Wings' are? For a start, just by taking a closer look at the styrofoam plate, there isn't traces of oil that was left by the 'Chicken Wings', which makes it a good start. As I took my first bite off the 'Wings', the juicy flesh started bursting inside my mouth. As I took more and more bites, I realized that the thin layer of skin is pretty crispy too. And one of the winning factor would be the size of the 'Chicken Wings'. Not only it tastes good, the size of it is a (+) too. :)

So where can you give the food a good try?

Not fantastic enough...

If you are a foodie, as you do a search for good dining options, you will definitely come across 'Joo Chiat' district. Therefore it's time to give the food at 'Joo Chiat' a try. :)

'Prawn Kway Teow(Rice Noodles)'(Dry) Not quite the same. And by default, rather than serving the normal bowl of 'Prawn Noodles', they are serving a bowl of 'Pork Ribs and Prawn Noodles' over here. Since I have ordered a 'dry' version of the bowl of Noodles, therefore it also comes with a bowl of soup too. The tasty bowl of soup is pretty amazing. It comes with a strong taste and aroma of pork ribs and prawns. I wonder how much time was needed to prepare such a delicious broth.

The bowl of Noodles looks pretty red to me. :| Besides for the 'Kway Teow', ingredients like 'beansprout', 'pork ribs', 'prawns', 'fried onions' and one of the most important ingredient, which is the 'chilli powder' has been added into the bowl. Hmmm... after mixing all the ingredients thoroughly, I'm pretty impress with the taste of the bowl of 'Kway Teow'. Not only it's spicy, the nice aroma of the fried onions are pretty good too. The chewy, meaty Pork Ribs are a (+) too. However, the prawns are a big disappointment. It will be much more better if they have spend a more time preparing it. I personally find it a bit too dry, which is not juicy enough for me. :|

So where can you give the bowl of Noodles a try?

The name of this stall would be 'Joo Chiat Prawn Mee'(如切肉骨虾面). It's located in one of the coffee shops along 'Carpmael Road', which is pretty near 'Joo Chiat Road'.

The 5 stars of Hougang...

Do take note this is a food blog and the title of this post has nothing to do with the Singapore flag.

'Grilled Fish Set' This is the 2nd time I'm giving the western food over here a try. For a start it comes with quite a variety of sides. There's 'Coleslaw', 'French Fries', 'Baked Beans', 'Garlic Bread' and a bit of greens. The sides are pretty good for a start, there's the crunchy and not too salty 'French Fries' and the 'Garlic Bread' that comes with a thin and crispy crust, but comes with a nice aroma and strong taste of 'Garlic', which deserves a (+). Unlike the 'Fish & Chips' over here, the grilled fish isn't coat in a crispy breaded layer. But the fish meat is actually pretty good. The moist and sweet fish meat isn't too soft or too hard, which is very important. And when you have it with the 'Tartar Sauce' or the 'Fried Garlic', things tend to get more and more delicious and interesting. :D

So where can you give the 'Grilled Fish' a good try?

The name of this stall would be '5 Star Corner Western Food'. It's located in the coffee shop beneath 'Blk 805 Hougang Central'.

An interesting fish head... :)

Besides for Curry Fish Head, you can actually get several other types of Fish Head dishes in Singapore too. For example, there's 'Fish Head Hot Pot', 'Steam Fish Head', etc... Therefore for the post today, it's related to Fish Head too. :)

Looking from afar, this might appear to be a Curry or a Tom Yum Fish Head, but in fact this is actually...

'Assam Fish Head' They were trying to boost the sales, therefore when I was there the other day, they were promoting some of the signature dishes with a pretty good deal. As for my meal the other day, it only cost me less than S$15, which is a pretty big (+) for a start. 'Fish Head' wise, excluding the 'Fish Head' itself, they have actually added quite a few types of ingredients into this dish. There's 'Lady Finger', 'Brinjal', 'Tomato', 'Pineapple', etc... Just by covering the small little plate of rice with a bit of gravy and all these ingredients, can really help me to gobble up the whole plate of rice without any difficulty. Oh by the way the taste of the gravy itself is pretty interesting. It's a nice mixture of spicy, sour and a little bit sweet. On top of that, it comes with a sharp and nice aroma, which is pretty appealing for me. :) Fish wise, though the sides are pretty normal but as I move towards the jaw/mouth, the taste of the fish is actually getting better and better. As I dip the nice mix of fresh fish meat and collagen into the nice gravy, it actually boost the overall taste of the meat to a whole new level, which is another (+). It fact, when I left the place, I have dismantle all the fish bones and wipe out all the meat and the delicious gravy.

So where can you give the 'Fish Head' a good try?

Noodles from KL to SG

I remembered that a few months ago, there was this article reporting how long and how crazy the queue over here was. And pretty much the same as the other newly introduced restaurants out there, usually the excitement will gradually die out over a period of time. Therefore, I decided that it's time for me to give it a try already.

'Signature Dry Chilli Pan Mee'(干捞辣椒幼面) It comes with a pretty normal bowl of soup, which isn't that important, but let's take a closer look at the bowl of Noodles.

The bowl of noodles comes with ingredients like 'Braised Minced Meat', 'Meat Balls', 'Fried Anchovies' and a half-boiled egg. But wait, before you start all the crazy stirring, you must...

add a scoop of their special blend of chilli first. Since they have placed a bottle full of this special blend of Chilli on top of each and every table, you can basically add as many scoop of chilli as you like.

This will be what I'm getting after a bit of vigorous stirring. The egg is completely gone and the bowl of Noodles is yellowish in color. Taste wise, since all the ingredients were mixed together, hence every single bite comes with this meaty and sweet sensation. Though it also has the nice aroma of Chilli, but it's simply not fiery enough for me. Besides for the taste, the good mix of chewy and crunchy ingredients were a big (+) too. However, for the price that I'm paying versus the portion that I'm getting, it can be a bit disappointing. :|

So where can you give this bowl of 'Noodles' a good try?
