Chinese small bites for Breakfast...

Sometimes if I managed to get out of bed pretty early, I would go around looking for interesting good bites, before I make my way to the office. And the other day, I decided to go for these small bites...

'Kueh Du Du' Seems that there are quite a few stalls out there that offers a bigger 'Kueh Du Du', as compared with the original size. Though this is big but it's not the biggest that I have come across in Singapore.

But I'm pretty impressed that despite of the long travelling time, the texture of the 'Kueh Du Du' didn't turn into a rock. On top of that the stall owner really push the layer of flour to the limits and the ingredients that are thrown inside are pretty generous and yummy too.

I personally loved the sweet taste of the not so damp 'Coconut' fillings and not to forget about the crunchy diced peanuts too. Which makes me wonder what are we getting, when we mix both types of ingredients into one 'Kueh Du Du'. When I took a bite off the 'Kueh Du Du', there's an immediate outburst of the nice ingredients, which deserves a (+).

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

The name of this stall would be 'Jia Xiang Du Du Kueh'(佳香嘟嘟娘惹糕). This is located inside 'Beo Crescent Market and Food Centre'.

Fishes of Friendship...

Basically, it's not like you can only order this dish in pairs or what, it just so so happen that the name of this stall has the Chinese word 'friendship'(友誼) inside. Therefore I'm giving this post such an title. :) Anyway back to the interesting part...

'Tom Yum Fish Soup with a bowl of Vegetables Rice and a bowl of Fried Fish' Initially, I only want to go for the 'Tom Yum Fish Soup'. But I recalled that when I was passing by this place a few days ago, I saw lots of customers going for the Fried Fish. Therefore, there must be a good reason why there are so many customers going for the same dish. Hence... These are a pretty rare find nowadays. Vegetables rice with slices of cabbages and small diced of yam. The nice aroma of yam and the special blend of rice, is worth giving it a try. :)

'Tom Yum Soup' This tastes pretty funny for a 'Tom Yum Soup', it doesn't taste like the usual 'Tom Yum Soup' at all. Though the stall owner has throw in a lot of ingredients and the fish slices are pretty fat and yummy, but the taste of the soup has pretty much ruined everything.

The 'Fried Fish' on the other end is marvelous. This for a start isn't too oily at all, despite of the fact that it just left the kitchen not long ago. On top of that, this isn't battered in a thick layer of flour and yet the skin has this crispy touch, which is another (+). On top of that, the portion that I'm getting for a relatively low price is amazing. (On a separate note, I managed to finish a bowl of 'Vegetables Rice' with this.) Best of all, the delicious taste of these firm and fresh slices of fish, just simple makes my lunch better and better. :)

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

The name of this stall would be 'You Yi Fish Soup'(友誼). It's located in one of the corners of 'Havelock Road Cooked Food Centre'.

Uprising of Japanese Cafe...

Ten years ago, dining at a 'Hong Kong cafe' is probably one of the trendiest thing to do during that period of time. 'Hong Kong cafe' back then was so so common. There's probably one in every neighborhood. Me and my friends used to hang out there too. :) However, that was a completely different situation as compared to now.

Since I had a heavy dinner earlier, I decided to go for the desserts only.

'Japanese Matcha & Ogura Honey Toast' This is pretty similar to the thick toast that one can get at a 'Hong Kong Cafe'. But over here, they have topped it with several types of Japanese ingredients, etc. 'Shiratama'(Sweet rice flour dumpings), green tea ice cream, red beans... The finishing touch would be the portion of 'Honey' that goes on top of everything else.

I started dividing it into 9 pieces. After dividing it into smaller pieces, the ingredients started flowing down the 'holes' that goes between the pieces of toast. As I dig into the toast, besides for the nice and sweet sensation, it also comes with this nice fragrance, which is a (+). Not only it's fluffy inside, the toast is also covered in this thin layer of crust. And the chef has come up with a pretty good dessert, which is a good mix between a Toast and the Japanese ingredients.

The name of this Japanese cafe would be 'Wa Cafe'. It's located on basement 1 of 'Chinatown Point'.
