When you can get it at close to half the usual price....

Nope, I'm not going to write about the 'Singapore Sale'. And this isn't going to be some promotional special price. In fact, you can get this almost every single day. And the food that I'm going to write in this post is actually...

Here comes my dinner that day. A big plate of 'Satay', a roll of rice, a few slices of cucumber and onion and not forgetting the complimentary bowl of 'Satay' sauce. The main reason why I have provided such a title for this is mainly because the 'Satay' over here is going at a relatively low price of 30 cents per stick, which is close to half the usual price that you are paying for a 'Satay' stick else where.

'Satay' They are only preparing and selling both 'Chicken' and 'Pork Satay' over here. Since this is my first, I have decided to give both types of 'Satay' a good try. Due to the amount of work needed to prepare the 'Satay' over a tray of charcoal, the waiting time is relatively long. I was waiting for an hour for my dinner. :) Though the 'Satays' are slightly smaller as compared to the regular ones, but there's this nice smell of charcoal and succulent meat, which makes this a pretty good deal. The biggest drawback over here would be the portion of 'Satay' sauce that was given. Being a big fan of peanuts, this small little bowl of 'Satay' sauce isn't sufficient enough to go with the portions of food that I have ordered.

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

The name of this stall would be 'Night Hoover Satay'(夜市豪华沙嗲). It's located inside the coffee shop beneath 'Blk 56 Geylang Bahru'.

Notes:

• Opening Hours:
  Daily: 19:00 - 22:00
• The queue started earlier than expected. Some people started dropping by the stall before 7. In fact, there are customers that are calling in and dropping their orders far earlier than expected...

1 dessert 2 variation

As far as I can tell, this stall owner really have guts. Though it's a stall selling desserts, but they are selling not 10, not 5, but 1 type of dessert only...

'Ching Teng'(清湯) They are preparing and selling this only. Though it comes in 2 variation (Hot or Cold), but it's still 'Ching Teng'. So what's so special about it? The brownish looking bowl of 'Ching Teng' might appear to be pretty boring, but it does comes with a big variety of ingredients. As I scoop out and savor the bowl of 'Ching Teng', I have spotted ingredients like 'Gingko Nuts', 'White Fungus', 'Barley', 'Dry Longans', 'dry persimmon strips', etc... Regardless of the number of ingredients added, there's a good mix of 'sweet' ingredients, which really helps one to beat the crazy hot temperature.

So where can you give this dessert a good try?

The name of this stall would be 'Four Seasons Ching Teng'(四季清湯). It's hidden inside 'Clementi Market and Food Centre'.

The killer small bites...

Though most of the time, if someone has setup a stall in a Hawker Centre, there's a very high possibility that the stall is going to sell something that is pretty filling. However, there will be exceptions too. For example, there will be stalls selling small bites like these...

'Soon Kueh'

Though the skin is pretty thick, but the crunchy sensation that I'm getting from the ingredients that goes inside it is a (+). The turnip, carrots and mushrooms have also come together to produce this nice fragrance that I like. And do remember to have it with their chilli paste to enhance the overall taste even far more further. :)

'Curry Puff' This might appear to be pretty ordinary, but it's not. For a start, the skin might appear to be pretty solid and tough, but in actual fact, it's not as thick as I have imagined. Once I took a bite off the 'Curry Puff', there's this nice fragrance of spices, topped with the crunchy sensation of the potatoes, and the chewy sensation of the chicken strips and part of a hard boiled egg. And on top of that, the strong taste is a (+) too. And I'm not referring to the spicy taste but the strong taste spices. :D

So where can you give these small bites a good try?

The name of this stall would be "Fond's Dee Curry Puff". It's hidden inside 'Clementi Market and Food Centre'.

When the Wanton isn't their ....

Over here, frankly speaking, I have given quite a few 'Wanton Noodles' stall a good try already. However, probably it's my personal preference but I think that most of the stalls out there have the same problem....

'Wanton Noodles' The springy Noodles are pretty acceptable, it's not as soggy as it appears to be. Though the taste of the dark sauce is slightly a bit salty, but there's also a nice mix of greens and meaty ingredients. The 'Char Siew' for a start is chewy, and at the same time not too dry. And the crispy 'Wanton' isn't that bad. It has a crispy texture and a reasonable load of ingredients wrapped inside the crispy skin. But that isn't the best...

Though the taste of the bowl of soup is pretty normal, but it's the dumplings that I have ordered separately that brighten things up. For a start, the dumplings are wrapped inside this thin layer of dumpling skin. And as I took a bite off the dumplings, the crunchy sensation simple makes things pretty exciting. And the nice mixture of vegetables and meaty ingredients simply makes things better and better.

So where can you give the food over here a good try?

The name of this stall would be 'Boon Kee Wanton Noodle'(文記雲吞麺). It's hidden inside 'Clementi Market and Food Centre'.

Japanese Noodles

Japanese Noodles not only includes 'Ramen', 'Soba' and 'Udon', now it includes this too.

'Mee Pok' and 'Dumpling Soup'

'Mee Pok' They have added ingredients like 'beansprouts', 'prawns', 'meatball', slices of 'abalone' and 'mixed meat' into the bowl of Noodles. Hidden beneath the generous portion of ingredients, is the 'Mee Pok' Noodles. Not only it's chewy, once you have mixed it thoroughly, the Noodles will have this spicy and delicious taste, which is pretty good. :)

'Dumpling Soup' This is slightly a bit salty, but the taste of the soup is pretty thick and the ingredients inside are pretty interesting. Besides for the Dumplings, ingredients like vegetables and mixed meat have been added into the bowl of soup too. Best of all, the crunchy dumplings that are loaded with lots of vegetables and minced meat are worth a big (+) too.

The name of this restaurant would be 'Ah Hoe Mee Pok'. The previous owner has taught the current owner, Mr Kuribara, everything about the trade. And he will be looking after the stall for the time being, while the previous owner looks for a new location to setup a new outlet. It's located in a 'Coffeeshop' beneath 'Block 710, Clementi West Street 2'.

Opening Hours:

• Tuesdays - Sundays: 05:30 - 16:30

Not for lunch.....

There are meals that are much more suitable to be taken for breakfast as compared to lunch. And here's an example of one of them...

'Vegetarian Fried Been Hoon'(Rice Vermicelli) This appears to be one of the few vegetarian stalls that are located inside this market. How should I put it.... Though the plate of 'Fried Been Hoon' comes with a big variety of ingredients('Mock Meats', 'French Beans', 'chillies') but the portion isn't big enough to satisfy my appetite during lunch time. On top of that, the 'Fried Bee Hoon' is a bit too dry for me, perhaps I'm a bit too used to the 'wet' vegetarian 'Fried Bee Hoon'. My favorite ingredient over here would be the 'Fried Spring Roll' that I have topped up. Not only it's crunchy outside, the good mix of vegetables inside made it pretty tasty too. Best of all, the Spring Roll ain't too oily, which makes it reasonably good. :)

So where can you give the 'Spring Roll' a good try?

The name of this stall would be 'Ji Xiang'(吉祥). It's hidden inside 'Clementi Market and Food Centre'.

For the sake of Winning...

For the sake of winning, what are you willing to sacrifice? Is it time? Health? How about Money? As for myself, for the sake of delicious delicacies, I don't mind 'sacrificing' money...

Over here they are providing 2 different types of 'Japanese Tonkatsu(breaded pork cutlet)' sauce over here. The first would be the sweet version and the second would be the spicy version. And frankly speaking, I can't really tell the difference between the 2 different types of sauce. Besides for that, they also have several other types of seasoning to go with your meal.

'Premium Black Pork Tonkatsu' I can easily point out several good points about the set meals that they are serving over here. For a start, the rice, cabbages and the 'Tonjiru'(Japanese soup which has a good load of meat and vegetables) that comes with the set meal are refillable. Even though it's slightly a bit salty but the tasty bowl of soup is a big (+).

You can choose to enjoy the set meal with a bowl of 'White' rice or a bowl of 'multigrain' rice. Though it's probably my first attempt to it but it isn't that bad too. It can really blend in pretty amazingly.

This beautiful, thick and sweet lump of meat is satisfying. Besides for the crispy outer layer, the chewy meat simply makes things better and better. WoooHooooo.....

'Oyster Katsu' The 'Tartar' sauce that comes with this is pretty thick and sweet. And I would strongly suggest that one shouldn't dip and scoop out too much sauce in one go. However, besides for the fact that it blends in with the 'Katsu' nicely, it blends in with a bowl of rice nicely too. :)

'Almond Pudding' This comes with a nice 'Red Bean' fragrance, but the fragrance of 'Almond' is even stronger.

The name of this restaurant would be 'Tonkatsu & Sake Bar TONZAEMON'. It's located on level 1 of 'CHIJMES'.

• Lunch: 11:30 - 14:30

Not quite the diy pizza that I'm looking for...

Ever since I have tried the wonderful restaurant that prepares and serve 'D.I.Y' pizza overseas, I was trying very hard looking for similar alternatives in Singapore...

'Alt. Wings' This do create small sparks in my mouth. However, it still has a long way to go if they are thinking of outdoing the 'Buffalo Wing' that gives one a spicy sensation.

'Dangerous Diego' I wanted to give the 'D.I.Y' pizza over here a try, but seriously the price that one would be paying for a customized pizza over here is simply far too ridiculous. I was calculating it myself. If I choose the ingredients I want, I could easily break the S$30 mark. But in the end, after giving it some thought, I decided to give one of the creations over here a try. Covered with lots of reds, this pizza isn't that bad after all. For a start, the pizza over here doesn't comes with the super thick crust, which is a big (+). And depending on the nature of the ingredients, they might be throwing in a generous or a moderate portion of it into the pizza. Last but not least, though the size of the pizza ain't that big in size, but the nice sweet taste of the cheese is pretty good. Even though the pizza isn't as spicy as the 'Wings' but the chewy touch is definitely there. :P

So where can you give the pizza a good try?

The name of this restaurant would be 'alt. pizza'. It's located at 'Suntec City Tower 4'.

Sitting next to a Tuk Tuk Cha...?

And nope, you don't need to go all the way to Thailand to have a meal next to a 'Tuk Tuk Cha'(Thailand's iconic transport vehicle). The same move is possible in Singapore too. :D

Left: Thai Milk Tea Right: Homemade Lemongrass Extreme opposites. For the Thai Milk Tea, the overpowering sweet taste simply makes it irresistible. One could easily wipe out the whole cup in 1 sip. On the other end, the Homemade is the kind of drink that could bring one out of a sleepy mode in 1 single sip. The overpowering refreshing taste simply makes it a bit too crazy...

'Tom Yam Toast with Chicken Floss and Egg' Hidden inside the toasted bread are a nice mixture of Tom Yam spread, topped with 'Chicken Floss' and 'Egg'. Though I'm not getting the fiery 'Tom Yum' sensation but I'm getting a simplified 'Tom Yum' taste and a good mix of sweet ingredients. Not too bad for a starter. :D

'Golden Toast' The 'Golden Toast'. Though these are golden in color but they are not hard and crunchy. In fact, they are crispy on the outer layer and fluffy inside. But that's not the most indulging part. Once you dip the 'Golden Toast' into the different types of dips, the real fun has just begin... Though they are offering different types of dips over here but, I have ended up choosing the 'Homemade Pandan Kaya' and 'Homemade Taro Kaya' a try. Both of them have this thick creamy texture and I was scooping quite a big portion of it into my mouth. I personally find the taste of the dips to be pretty thick and strong. Through these dips, I'm actually getting the nice taste of 'Pandan' and 'Taro'. Not too bad for a snack.

So where can you give the snacks and drinks a good try?

The name of this place would be 'Tuk Tuk Cha'. It's located inside 'Suntec City Tower 3'. (See, there's a 'Tuk Tuk Cha' over here, though it's pretty much stagnant, but it still have the looks of the 'Tuk Tuk Cha'. :P)

Another crazy Ice Kacang stall...

When one has no luck with a rainy day, one tend to turn to a good bowl of dessert for a chilling sensation. But this is a bit too....

'Coconut Ice Kacang'(椰糖红豆冰) One might ask, what makes this different from ordinary 'Ice Kacang'? Let me get this straight. They are covering the layer of ice with 'Gula Melaka'(Palm Sugar). And I have listed this dessert as one of those that I would only be having once a month. The extremely POWERFUL sweet taste is a bit too much for me.... TT.TT Besides of overloading the consumer with a complete sweetness, the ingredients that are hidden beneath the Ice Mountain isn't that bad too. Not too bad for a dessert stall.

So where can you give the desserts a good try?

They isn't really a name for this stall. It's located inside 'Berseh Food Centre'.

2 Laksa...

What can you buy with merely S$2 nowadays? What if I told you that you can get yourself a delicious bowl of 'Laksa' at the price of 2(?) would you dare to give it a good try?

'Laksa' Pretty much similar to the infamous 'Katong Laksa' that expects the customer to wipe out the whole bowl of 'Laksa' using a spoon, no chopsticks will be provided over here too and you will only be getting a spoon too. Though I wouldn't say that this is a very big bowl of 'Laksa' but it has all the necessary factors that forms a good bowl of 'Laksa'. The bowl of 'Rice Noodles' topped with yummy ingredients like 'sliced fish cake', 'cockles', beansprouts, 'Sambal Chilli', all surrounded in the tasty and sweet pool of 'Laksa' gravy and garnished with Vietnamese coriander, or more commonly known as 'Laksa Leaf'. Believe me or not, but in this small little bowl of 'Laksa' there's actually quite a handful of ingredients and even though it wasn't too spicy, but the sweet and spicy taste can easily satisfy the needs of a typical Singaporean.

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

The name of this stall would be 'Sungei Road Laksa'. It has occupied one of the corners of the coffee shop, 'Jin Shui Kopitiam'.

Notes:

• Operating Hours:
  Thursdays - Tuesdays: 09:30 - 17:30
  (Closed on Wednesdays)
• The queue for a bowl of 'Laksa' over here can be unexpectedly long. I was queuing up for like 20 minutes...
• One key highlight of the stall would be the fact that they are cooking the 'Laksa' gravy using a big metal cauldron, which is placed on top of a charcoal fire, which is a pretty rare sight nowadays.
• Sadly, before I have the chance to publish this post, they have decided to increase the price already. Therefore, there isn't a S$2 Laksa anymore. :(

R.I.P...... :P

It rhymes. And the post today has something to do with the word R.I.P. And it's actually not one but many many R.I.P... lol

They have populated the walls over here with lots of posters that consist of all these interesting pick up lines. I was pretty amused with some of the posters hanging on the wall over here. :D

Most of the customers over here are going for the ...

'Ribs'...

more 'Ribs'...

so many 'Ribs'... They are not only preparing 1 type of ribs. There's actually 5 different types of 'Ribs' that one can try over here. And I have given all 5 different types of 'Ribs' a good try already. :D 'Signature Hickory BBQ Sticky Bones' If you are into thick smoked 'Ribs', this is the thing for you. Not only it's coated with this thick BBQ sauce, the overall taste of the 'Ribs' are pretty solid too. And frankly speaking, the sauce itself is a bit too thick for me and in fact it's so thick that I think I will have problem finishing 1/2 a slab of this.... :| 'Garlic BBQ Spare Ribs' Out of all the 5 different flavors that they are offering over here, I guess this is the easiest to be accepted by everyone. And I don't find it spicier and as funky as the other flavors that they are offering over here. 'Tuscan Baked Spicy Spare Rib' This is the most funkiest version of 'Ribs' that I have ever tried till date. Probably because I myself isn't a big fan of Tomatoes for a start. But as compared to the taste of the 'Ribs' the taste of the 'Tomatoes' are far too overpowering, which to a certain extent makes me wonder what am I eating? A chewy 'Tomatoes' or ...? 'Spicy Asian BBQ Spare Ribs' Though it might look fiery but the appearance can be deceiving. I'm getting the nice sweet taste of the BBQ sauce but I'm not getting the fiery sensation that I'm expecting. Pretty disappointing for a 'Spicy Asian BBQ Spare Ribs'. Last but not least would be my favorite, which is... 'Smoked Peppercorn Spare Ribs' The 'Ribs' comes with this nice blend of both sweet and spicy taste, topped with a very nice aroma too. Personally, I find this the best out of all 5 flavors. It's giving the nice spicy sensation that I like, topped with a moderate level of sweetness, which makes this a pretty big (+). The texture of all the 'Ribs' over here are pretty tender and not forgetting the juicy and chewy meat that goes around the bones. In fact, probably it's due to the fact that I'm ordering 1/4 slab at a time, therefore I don't have any difficulty ripping the meat and the bones apart since they are served 'fresh' too. :D

All the 'Ribs' sums up to a 'Boney Hill'...

'Red Skin Mashed Potato' If you are hoping that this would ended up to be pretty much similar to those that you are getting out there, you will be so so disappointed. Slightly a bit more dry than those that comes with a sauce, the ones over here has a thicker texture and it's much more thicker in taste too. And not forgetting much more filling too. =.="" But it comes with the skin too, which makes this pretty indulging.

'Corn Bread' They should categorize this as a 'Muffin' rather than a bread. The fluffy texture that goes on top and the nice sweet fillings that rest at the bottom, simply makes this a pretty interesting combination. Not too bad for a 'Bread'. :D

'Soup of the Day' Seems like a rich vegetable soup to me, but I personally find the next soup to be far more superior than this. And superior over here doesn't mean that it's richer in taste, I find the texture to be much more better too.

'Mushroom Soup' The creamy soup that comes with a rich mushroom taste simply makes every single scoop better and better. I wanted to go for a second helping but unfortunately this is the last few bowls of the day, which is kinda sad. :(

'Coleslaw' I wanted something refreshing and cooling to act as a full stop to my pleasant dining experience over here and this has fit in perfectly. Though this still couldn't replace a scoop of ice cream completely, but it isn't that bad either. :)

So where can you give all these delicious mains and sides a good try?

Just a signboard...
