Noodles from KL to SG

I remembered that a few months ago, there was this article reporting how long and how crazy the queue over here was. And pretty much the same as the other newly introduced restaurants out there, usually the excitement will gradually die out over a period of time. Therefore, I decided that it's time for me to give it a try already.

'Signature Dry Chilli Pan Mee'(干捞辣椒幼面) It comes with a pretty normal bowl of soup, which isn't that important, but let's take a closer look at the bowl of Noodles.

The bowl of noodles comes with ingredients like 'Braised Minced Meat', 'Meat Balls', 'Fried Anchovies' and a half-boiled egg. But wait, before you start all the crazy stirring, you must...

add a scoop of their special blend of chilli first. Since they have placed a bottle full of this special blend of Chilli on top of each and every table, you can basically add as many scoop of chilli as you like.

This will be what I'm getting after a bit of vigorous stirring. The egg is completely gone and the bowl of Noodles is yellowish in color. Taste wise, since all the ingredients were mixed together, hence every single bite comes with this meaty and sweet sensation. Though it also has the nice aroma of Chilli, but it's simply not fiery enough for me. Besides for the taste, the good mix of chewy and crunchy ingredients were a big (+) too. However, for the price that I'm paying versus the portion that I'm getting, it can be a bit disappointing. :|

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

The name of this place would be 'Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee'(建记辣椒板面). It's located along 'Macpherson Road', which is located near the infamous 'Kway Chap' stall along 'Macpherson Road'.

Prata in the North

Since I have the time and I suddenly have the urge for some Indian food, therefore I decided to travel a bit more and move all the way to the North. (Although, 'Little India' is probably half an hour distance away, but visiting 'Little India' on Friday night all the way to Sunday night is kinda crazy.)

'Chicken Biryani' Although this isn't 'Dum Biryani', but the taste and the fragrance of the Biryani rice is pretty nice. On top of that probably I haven't been eating spicy Indian food for a very long time, but I find the taste of the Curry to be pretty spicy and the texture of the curry to be pretty thick. As for the vegetables, there's merely a bit of 'Achar' but it's better than nothing. Best of all, the amount of Curry Chicken that was added into the plate of Curry is pretty generous and pretty delicious. Although I don't that they are providing free flow of Biryani rice over here, but for the price that I'm paying, I think that it's pretty reasonable.

'Chilli Prata' and 'Plain Prata' So what is a 'Chilli Prata'? It's basically a normal Prate but the chef has added green chillies into the Prata to spice up the overall taste of it. The taste of the Pratas over here isn't something that is ultra special, but it has it's good points too. For a start, the Pratas over here are not too oily and the texture of the Pratas are pretty thin and crispy. However, I think that the Curry that they have provided doesn't quite fit in. I think that the Curry that they have provided in the 'Chicken Biryani' was much more better.

'Mutton Murtabak' The taste of the 'Mutton Murtabak' comes with a relatively strong taste and fragrance of mutton meat. Besides of mutton meat, the fillings also include ingredients like onions and various types of spices. However, I personally find the fillings inside the Murtabak to be a little bit too little. Even though the fillings have covered every single corner of the Murtabak, but it will be great if they can increase the amount of fillings inside the Murtabak by a few more times.

So where can you give all these delicious Indian food a try?

The name of this Indian restaurant would be 'Casuarina Curry'. The main branch is located along 'Casuarina Road', which is pretty near 'Upper Thomson Road'. And there's another branch located along 'Macpherson Road'.

Notes:

• Opening Hours:
  7am - 12midnight Daily
• Joke of the day:
  After placing all my orders for all the food listed in this post, the eyes of the waiter were popping out. The eyes were popping out even much more further when I told him that I'm having my dinner alone. The friendly waiter suggested that he will bring me all the Pratas and the 'Chicken Biryani' first. He will only be serving the 'Mutton Murtabak', when I can finish all the food. In other words, I think that to a certain extent, my crazy appetite can really amaze/scare the shit out of most people out there.

粿汁 - Another spelling mistake for fruit juice?

Nope, there isn't a spelling mistake. In Singapore, there's really a Chinese dish known as Kway Chap（粿汁）. Ever since I was young, I had been eating Kway Chap from numerous locations. Ranging from the market behind my Primary School, the coffee shop along River Valley Road, Tiong Bahru Market, etc. A few years ago, my colleagues had brought me to this Kway Chap store located near Macpherson Road. Although the location of this store used to be pretty inconvenient back then, it had become more and more convenient ever since the Circle line had started operating.

This is how the restaurant looks like. Not only it server Kway Chap,
it also provides Duck Rice too.

Although this was a plate of duck meat that was delivered to the wrong table,
I still took a photo of it. :P You were given a choice to choose between
Yam rice or a bowl of Kway to go with the Kway Chap ingredients. Since I
have a big stomach, I decided to get a bowl of Yam rice and a bowl of Kway.

Let's take a close look at the plate of Duck Meat.
It pretty interesting that they are serving duck meat with a few slices of pineapple.

Here are the ingredients that we had ordered. On the left, it's the store's speciality, which is fried intestines. And on the right, it's the ingredients for the Kway Chap. Usually for a plate of Kway Chap, it will include ingredients like pig intestines, pig organs, boiled egg, etc... Besides for the fried intestines, another special move of the store would be the step of serving sliced pineapples with each and every plate of ingredients that have been ordered. Actually, I like the idea of serving sliced pineapples with Kway Chap. Especially after eating a few slices of pineapples, it had definitely help me to feel much better after having such a sinful meal. :D
