Prawns around me...

As the government decides to build more and more HDB flats in my area, the number of eateries around my area has also increased rapidly. Although I haven't tried each and every one of them, but I have definitely covered most of the stalls selling noodles, Therefore... :)

'Prawn Noodles' So what makes me a hardcore noodle fan? Basically, I can't survive a whole week without eating any noodles. And there are numerous situations where the whole bowl of noodles were gone and lots of ingredients still remain in the bowl. (I knew that it might sounds kinda funny, but that's the truth.) Anyway, as for the 'Prawn Noodles' over here, I love the proportion of sauces that he has added into the bowl of noodles. Even though I have also sprinkled chilli powder all over the noodles, but as I stirred the bowl of noodles and vegetables together, the noodles doesn't end up to be too dry or too watery. I simply love the spicy sensation that the bowl of noodles are giving me and at the same time, the noodles still remain to be pretty tangy. (O.O)V The taste of the soup is pretty rich in taste and the stall owner has also thrown ingredients like prawns and lean pork slices into the bowl of soup too. (Usually, most of the (dry)prawn noodles out there, the stall owner will throw all the ingredients into a bowl and he will be passing you a separate bowl of clear soup. However, there are also stall owners that will be adding the prawns inside the bowl of soup too.) Therefore, if you are staying near my area, I would strongly encourage you to give the 'Prawn Noodles' over here a try. :D

So where can you give the 'Prawn Noodles' a try?

The name of this stall would be 'Feng Zan Prawn Noodles'(豊贊蝦麵). It's located in one of the coffee shops along 'Kim Tian Road'.

Notes:

• Operating Hours:
  I'm not too sure myself, but it seems to be 10am ~ 8pm .

This is not Cooking Mama......

Though I'm not a very big fan of Korean food, but once in a while, I think that a change of taste can make things pretty interesting and therefore, I decided to pay a nearby Korean restaurant a visit. :D

As for myself, what interest me most of the time, would be the
side dishes. Probably after I went for an overseas trip or two,
it seems that my interest for side dishes has increased rapidly.
To some extent, sometimes I think I was busy focusing and
savouring the side dishes more than the main dish. =.=""
What I love best about the Korean side dishes would be the variety
that they will be giving you. It can be a mixture of various kind
of tastes. Though one might not ended up finishing all the side
dishes, but there ought to be one that will suit your taste bud.
(Too bad, the side dishes of this place isn't refillable.)

'Suyuk' / Boiled Pork
Just by taking a look at this dish, it reminds me of the
infamous Chinese dish 'Beijing Duck'(北京烤鸭). You can
choose to either have a slice of boiled pork with or without
the cucumber slices or bean sprouts in spicy sauce.
This is my first attempt at this dish and it's pretty
good. Although only slices of Pork Belly are given,
but it's prepared in a healthier manner and the original
taste of the pork belly still remains in it. Perhaps
this can be part of a healthy diet? :P
(To some extent, the taste of this dish is pretty much
similar to the roast meat that you are getting at a
'Char Siew' rice stall. :D)

So where can you get this?

The name of this restaurant would be 'Big Mama'.
It's located along Kim Tian Road.

Notes:

• For some reason, this restaurant seems to be pretty crowded most of the time and I would highly encourage you to make a reservation before making a trip to that place.

A DIY meal (Closed)

Ever had the problem of don't feel like eating parts of a meal and feel like eating parts of the same meal? For example: I have the urge of eating Fish Ball Noodles Soup but I want to have it with rice. Seems like mission impossible but that isn't such a difficult task at all. Here comes...

a bowl of 'Yong Tau Hu'.
This is a bowl of 'Yong Tau Foo' with Laksa Gravy.
So what's a 'Yong Tau Foo' anyway?
Basically, a 'Yong Tau Foo' stall will give you the option of
choosing and selecting the ingredients that you feel like eating.
After selecting the ingredients, you will be given a choice of having
it in a soupy or a dry manner and on top of that, you will also be
given the choice of having it with either a bowl of Rice or Noodles
or Bee Hoon (Rice Vermicelli) or even Yam Rice.
(I guess that should more or less explains the DIY title. :P)

The above would be a bowl of 'Yong Tau Foo' that comes with a bowl of clear soup and a bowl of Rice. On be the way before I move on, take note that there are some special ingredients that you can only find at a 'Yong Tau Foo' stall. For example: Green/Red chillies stuffed with Fish Cakes (this is one of my favourites), Bean Curd stuffed with Fish Cakes, bitter gourd, etc.

The above would be a bowl of 'Yong Tau Foo' that comes with a bowl of clear soup and a bowl of Yam Rice. I like it especially when I can have it with a small plate of Chilli.

So where is this stall located?

It's located Kim Tian Road. It used to be the eating place that
I frequent the most back then. I was passing by the place the other
day, hence I decided to give it a try again. Although the prices
have increase a bit but for the sake of the fresh ingredients and
a good meal, I don't mind paying a bit more.
Oh, by the way this is a 24/7 stall so you can pop by the place
at any part of the day of night, which sort of reminds me of the
late night gathering that I have been having at this place back then. XD
