Though I had my dinner...

But there's always space for small bites or great snacks. Although ice cream would be a much wiser choice on a sunny day, but it can be pretty costly too. And it is times like this that I would start keeping a lookout for small bites near the exact spot where I had my dinner. @@...

'Popiah' I was observing the way that the stall owners are preparing the food. I'm glad that they are using 2 circular pieces of 'Popiah' skins to wrap all the ingredients together. In the bottom of my heart, I already started giving this stall extra points for using this method in preparing a roll of 'Popiah'. On top of that, they are pretty fast too. I got my 'Popiah' within a few minutes. Hmm, I wonder if it tastes good...

Though the price of each roll of 'Popiah' is slightly a bit more costly as the usual ones, but I think that it's pretty worth it. First of all, generous portion of ingredients were added into the 'Popiah'. Secondly, the 'Popiah' skin doesn't tear apart easily, but that comes with a new problem too. Since they have wrapped too much ingredients together, therefore the ingredients are forcing their way out of the 'Popiah', when you try to use a pair of chopsticks to pick up a piece of 'Popiah'. (Rather than getting annoyed, I love the fact that they are giving generous portion of ingredients.) Last but not least, the eating sensation. Most of the time, all the ingredients that are added into a roll of 'Popiah' were pretty soft. However, the peanuts that were added into the 'Popiah' isn't fine grind peanuts. In fact, the peanuts that they were using were giving me a crunchy sensation while savouring each and every piece of 'Popiah', which turns out to be a pretty good dining experience.

The name of this stall would be 'Te Wei Popiah Rojak Otah'(特味 薄餅 囉喏 烏打). It's located inside 'LongHouse', which is located along 'Upper Thomson Road'.

Notes:

• Opening Hours:
  11am - 9pm
  (Closed on Wednesdays)
• In fact, I wanted to give the 'Rojak' a try. However, after overhearing the conversation between stall owner and a customer, I think that by coming back on another day would be a much wiser choice. (The waiting time for a plate of 'Rojak' is 45 minutes... ==""". I hope that such situation would only occur during peak hours and I wonder how would the 'Rojak' taste like if I'm going to add 'Cuttlefish' or 'Century Egg' and 'You Tiao'.)

Curry + Chicken + Noodles

Is it possible? That would be the question that non locals will ask. In Singapore, if there's a demand, there ought to be all sorts of food combinations. For example: Satay Bee Hoon, 'Mui Fun'(Basically it's a type of Hor Fun with rice), Abalone Fish Ball Noodles, and not forgetting...

'Curry Chicken Noodles' This would be the end product for the consumers that demand for a dish the combines Noodles, Curry and Chicken. For a start, the main ingredients used in preparing dish are pieces of white chicken meat, bean sprouts, fish cake, 'Tau Pok'(a type of fried beancurd) and noodles. The chicken meat that the stall owner has prepared was pretty good. In fact the standards of the chicken meat can be on par with the white chicken that you are getting in the local delicacy, 'Chicken Rice'. Though the curry is slightly a bit too watery, but it's pretty acceptable. Especially when the taste of the curry isn't too overpowering and while savouring the dish, you still can enjoy the taste of each individual ingredient. Though the overall taste of this dish isn't too fantastic, but it's still pretty acceptable. Since I personally do not find the dish spicy enough, I hope that the stall owner could provide a few spoonful of spicy sambal chilli too spice up the taste of this dish a bit. :P (Sounds kinda contradicting but I prefer spicy stuff. :P)

The name of this stall would be 'Fei Hai Minced Meat Noodles'(肥海肉脞面). It's located inside 'LongHouse', which is located along 'Upper Thomson Road'.

The Banana Man...

I don't think that by eating a banana can give you super powers and the ability to fly, but it can be a delicious and interesting snack too. :P

'Pisang Goreng'/'Goreng Pisang' Some called it 'Pisang Goreng' and others called it 'Goreng Pisang'. Regardless of what you call it, it still ended up to be 'Fried Bananas'. So what's so special about the bananas over here? For a start, I like the layer of crust that has covered the banana completely. It gives the banana a crispy touch and at the same time maintain the soft texture of the banana. Although the bananas have fried, but it isn't too oily and some how the stall owners still can manage the sweet taste of the bananas, which is pretty good. By the way, besides for 'Fried Bananas', this particular stall also prepare and sell fried snacks, such as 'Fried Taro', 'Fried Sweet Potato', etc... I have also given the 'Fried Taro' a try and it's as good as the 'Taro Pie' that the fast food restaurant 'McDonalds' is selling right now. (However, though the 'Fried Taro' is nice, but I personally find the taste of the 'Goreng Pisang' to be much more tasty.)

So where can you give the 'Goreng Pisang' a try?

The name of this stall would be 'Boon Pisang Goreng'(雲炸香蕉). It's located inside 'LongHouse' located along 'Upper Thomson Road'.

Is this the best Duck? Quack Quack...

Since I was somewhere near the very last stop of the Circle Line (CC), I was thinking of travelling all the way to 'Bishan' to have a nice bowl of 'Braised Duck Rice'. However, since I can't recall the exact location of the 'stall', therefore I decided to do a bit of 'Googling'. For some reason, I happen to come across another 'Braised Duck stall' and quite a large group of people were claiming that this particular stall was even much more better than the 'Bishan' stall. Therefore...

'Braised Duck Rice' Usually when you place an order for a plate of 'Braised Duck Rice' at a Hawker Centre in Singapore, chances that you will be getting a plate of white rice, a few slices of braised duck and a bit of vegetables are pretty high. And based on my own opinion, no matter how good the taste of the duck meat can/might be, it just doesn't go well with white rice. Anyway let's move back to the 'Braised Duck Rice' over here. So what's so special about it? Firstly, although I only place an order for a plate of 'Braised Duck Rice', but you will also be getting ingredients like 'Braised boiled Egg' and peanuts. Just for the amount of ingredients that you are getting, it already win over my heart and interest. Secondly, the affordable price. Third and not least, despite of the quantity, the taste of all the individual ingredients are delicious. For a start, the fragrance of the rice is pretty nice and the 'Braised Duck Meat' isn't too dry. In fact, the duck meat is succulent. On top of that the peanuts, 'Braised Boiled Egg' and the sauce that they are using, blend with the rice perfectly. Sometimes the taste of an ingredient can only be considered to be good when you eat it individually. However, when you mixed it with a other types of ingredients, you might be getting a heavenly taste. :P

So where can you give the 'Braised Duck Rice' a try?

The name of this stall would be 'Soon Kee (Boneless) Lor Duck Rice・Porridge・Duck Mee'(順記(起骨)滷鴨飯・粥・鴨面). It's located inside 'LongHouse' located along 'Upper Thomson Road'.
