Not really 24 hours lah....

The name of this stall can be misleading. This place doesn't really operate for the whole day. And it only specializes in...

'Fried Kway Teow'
As mentioned earlier (or much much earlier), I loved stalls that
specialize in cooking and preparing a dish. This shows how much
delegation they have in preparing a dish only. And on top of that,
since I haven't been having my meals at the hawker centre over there,
hence this is a good opportunity to bring back all the good memories.

So what's so great about the 'Fried Kway Teow' over here?
Though they have pasted that they are using 'Sour Plum' in preparing
this dish, but I'm not getting the zesty touch in this plate of
'Fried Kway Teow'. But that's not the most important.

The overall taste is the most important. For a start, the affordable
price is a (+) and the portions are pretty generous and on top of that
they have thrown in a big variety of ingredients. Ingredients like
'fried egg', 'beansprout', 'Chinese Sausage', 'Cockles', 'Spring Onion',
etc... and there's a bigger portion of 'Kway Teow'(Rice Noodles) as
compared to the 'Noodles'. And even though they have used quite an
substantial amount of dark sauce, but the overall taste still remains
to be pretty good, it's slightly a bit sweet but not too oily. Texture
wise, there's a good mix of chewy and crunchy ingredients, which is a
(+) too.

So where can you give this plate of 'Fried Kway Teow' a good try?
The name of this stall would be 'Day Night Fried Kway Teow'(日夜炒粿條).
It's located inside 'Bukit Merah Central Food Centre'.

Notes:
  • Operating Hours:
    Fridays - Wednesdays: 10:30 - 22:00
    (Closed on Thurdays)
  • I named this the invisible queue. Though you will not be getting a human queue over here, but an invisible queue do exist over here. Most of the people sitting near the stall are most likelihood to have placed an order for the food from this stall. Therefore, your waiting time will be dependent on the number of orders before you...

Time to 'LIM SOUP'...

Although I might sound like a weirdo, but I love to pour lots of soup into a bowl of rice and mix the both of them together. Therefore, that's probably one of the reasons why I loved dishes like 'Mui Fan' or soupy dishes that much. Therefore...

This would be my dinner that day.
A bowl of rice and a Coconut?

'Steamed Pork Rice with Mushrooms'
A bowl of steam rice covered with a generous layer of minced pork cake,
sliced mushrooms and 'ikan bilis'. Though the overall taste of the bowl
of rice is slightly a bit meaty and salty, but there's a nice balance
between the use of vegetables and meat. On top of that, there's lots of
fat slices of delicious mushrooms. But portion wise it's kinda
disappointing...

'Double Boiled Chicken in Fresh Old Coconut'
One of the signatures over here. Using a Coconut Husk to boil and prepare
the Herbal soup, which includes herbal ingredients and slices of 'Chicken',
the soup itself comes with a nice herbal taste topped with the sweetness
of a coconut. However, if you are looking for a thick and strong herbal soup,
you will be pretty disappointed. Because what they are offering over here
are not as strong as the average 'Herbal Soup' out there. Though the Coconut
has enhance the taste and the aroma of the soup even further, but it might be
the main reason why the soup are far more lighter in taste as compared to the
other alternatives out there.

So where can you give the soup a good try?
The name of this stall would be 'LIM SOUP'.
It's located inside the coffee shop beneath Blk 161 'Bukit Merah Central'.

Opening Hours:
  • Mondays - Saturdays: 11:30 - 20:00
    (Closed on Sundays and Public Holidays)
  • Depending on the sales of that day, the stall might be closed much more earlier. Therefore if you really want to give this a try, try to be as early as possible. :D

A Squarish Block of Rainbow

Ever since we were a kid, we were taught that a Rainbow will appear in the shape of a Arc. But a squarish Rainbow(?) that will be something that we will be exploring today.

'Rainbow Cake'
This is my second encounter with a 'Rainbow Cake'. Rather than serving
a slice out of a round cake, they are serving a block of cake instead.
Though it's a smaller slice of cake, but a block of cake simple makes it
much more easier to savour as compared to a slice that was taken from a
round cake. (At least you don't have the trouble of the slice of cake
tumbling over.)

For a start, the layers looks pretty attractive. On top of that, the chef
has also topped it with all these circular sparkling bits, which makes
it pretty beautiful. :)

Taste wise, the layers are not too spongy and there's a nice proportions
of cake crumbs. Besides that, the overall taste of the cake isn't too
sweet, which is a big (+) to me. :D

Though this cafe is kinda small, but by taking a look at their menu, they
seems to have a wide variety of items. Besides for the different types
of cakes, they also have cupcakes, macarons, waffles, etc...

So where can you give the 'Rainbow cake' a try?
The name of this cafe would be 'The Bakery Chef'.
It's located along 'Bukit Merah Central',
which is located near the 'Bukit Merah Community Library'.
Notes:
  • Operating Hours:
    Monday, Friday - Sunday: 10:00 - 21:00
    Tuesdays - Thursdays: 10:00 - 19:00
  • The cafe is kinda small, therefore you might want to call in and secure some seats in advance (to avoid the queue?). :)
