Everyone loves Seafood. :D

Noodles isn't everything in my life. From time to time, I have been giving some other options a try too. For example, porridge, desserts, japanese food, etc. Since I'm lazing around the other day, I decided to give a seafood place a try. I'm pretty lucky to find myself a few kaki's and off we go. :D

'Sambal Kang Kong'
I'm not sure how the others felt, but I think that the 'Kang Kong'
is slightly a bit overcooked. Though the sambal chilli taste pretty
okay, but the 'Kang Kong' have been fried for too long. Therefore the
crunchy texture is gone. If only...

'Prawn Omelette'?
If I'm not mistaken this is a 'Prawn Omelette'. (I think my memory
is failing me... =="") Either ways probably we have ordered quite a
few spicy dishes that night therefore the 'Omelette' appears to be
pretty boring... :P

'Spicy Mussels with Peanuts'
When it comes to seafood in Singapore, the most infamous way of preparing
it would be 'Stir Fried with Sambal Chilli'. Same goes for this dish, except
for the fact that the chef have added peanuts to it, which makes it pretty
interesting. I love the idea of adding peanuts to the sauce. It blends
pretty well with a bowl of white rice and the mussels. XD Though the taste
of this dish is pretty good, but there are a few pieces of mussels that
aren't that fresh. :(

'Sambal Sotong'
Based on my own opinion, I guess that this is the best dish of that night.
The 'Sotong' are pretty chewy and the chilli have blend with the taste of
the 'Sotong' completely. Just by ordering this dish alone, I think I can
emptied more than 3 bowls of rice already. :P

'Sambal Stringray'
If I'm not mistaken, this was supposed to be the speciality of this place,
however it doesn't seems to fit in to the word 'speciality'. Firstly, the
amount of meat that was given aren't satisfying, definitely not big enough
to be shared by the group of us. Secondly, the chilli isn't spicy enough and
the chilli doesn't really blend in too well. Last but not least, the taste is
pretty normal. (In fact, my kaki's have recommended another place to get
a better 'Sambal Stringray' and I will blog about it pretty soon. :D)

So where can you try all these seafood dishes?

The name of the stall would be 'Hua Kee'(和记).
It's located inside 'Pasir Panjang Food Centre'.

More Satays coming your way?

We had decided to meet up for some seafood for dinner, but to my dismay, that particular stall that I wanted to try was closed on that particular night. Therefore we decided to go for some other alternatives. For example...

'Satay'.
And it's isn't just one, not two, but 3 different types of 'Satay' meat.
And that would be Chicken, Pork and Mutton 'Satay'. This place also sells
the authentic 'Satay' rice, which is one my favourite part about 'Satay'.

In fact, the smell of the 'Satay' is so strong that I could even smell
it, from quite a distance away. Taste wise, I love the 'Satays' that
they are preparing. The meat are neither overcooked nor too raw. Though
the meat might appear to be slightly pinkish or reddish in colour, but
the taste of it are pretty delicious and chewy. The 'Satay' rice has a
pretty strong Pandan leaves smell and it's pretty tasty too. One particular
thing that I don't really like about this stall would be the 'Satay' sauce
that they have made. The size of the peanuts aren't grind finely and the
portion that was given was insufficient. :(

So where can you try this?

The name of this stall would be 'Famous Satay'.
It's located inside 'Pasir Panjang Food Centre'.

Notes:

• Operating Hours: 12pm - 11pm (To Be Confirmed)
• By the way, there seems to be only 2 'Satay' stalls at this place and based on my own opinions, both have their strengths and weaknesses. So what do you think?

Probably the Greenest and Healthiest plate of Char Kway Teow

Do you love to eat 'Char Kway Teow'? I know I am, but due to the way how the hawkers outside are preparing this dish, I don't think it's possible for me to have it on a regular basis. However this hawker has proven me wrong. Introducing...

The Greenest and Healthiest 'Char Kway Teow'
Different from a normal plate of 'Char Kway Teow', this is too
greenish and much more healthier, especially when it's covered by
a mountain of green vegetables. Whahahahahaha XD.
To some extent, I think the stall owner is trying to promote the
"Add more vegetables to your food" campaign...? Though the vegetables
are pretty much tasteless, but it's pretty crunchy. (Probably it's
because the vegetables are stir fried.)

After spending some time struggling with the mountain of vegetables,
it has finally reveal the original look. Although the stall owner
has added a large portion of ingredients like bean sprouts, eggs,
cockles, etc..., but the taste of the 'Char Kway Teow' still remains
to be pretty normal. I guess the most attractive part about this
would be the amount of vegetables that can be added to the normal
plate of 'Char Kway Teow'. :)

So where can you try this?

The name of this stall would be 'Heng Huat Fried Kway Teow'(興發炒粿條).
It's located inside 'Pasir Panjang Food Centre'.

Notes:

• Operating Hours: 12pm - 10pm (Closed on Sundays and Public Holiday)

Better than economical rice

From time to time, there ought to be situations where you feel like eating a variety of food or ingredients yet you can only go for a meal, therefore...

pretty much similar to a 'Yong Tau Hu' stall, you can take a plate and
choose a few different kinds of ingredients and the stall owners will
prepare the rest. You can also choose to have the plate of ingredients
with or without a plate of 'Fried Bee Hoon'.

'Fried Bee Hoon'
A simple plate of 'Fried Bee Hoon' to go with the plate of ingredients.

Though I have selected a variety of ingredients, but out of all of them,
the most delicious one would be the 'Deep fried strip of dough, 'You Tiao',
stuffed with fishcake'. After taking a few pieces of it, it sort of reminds
me of the delicacy, 'You Tiao stuffed with cuttlefish meat'. The skin of
the 'You Tiao' are pretty crispy and the meat inside are pretty chewy,
which already makes it simple irresistible. On top of that, dipping it in
the mayonnaise sauce simple makes the taste of the 'You Tiao' even much more
unforgettable and delicious.

The 'Ngoh Hiang' that you can get from this place are pretty good too.
The stall owners are pretty generous with the amount of ingredients that
they are wrapping into each and every one of them. The taste of each and
every piece are pretty good and I realised that the 'Ngoh Hiang' were
pretty fresh too. When I was chewing on a piece of 'Ngoh Hiang', I can
sense the presence of the fresh and crunchy vegetables. (Perhaps all the
'Ngoh Hiang' were prepared on a daily basis?)

This should give you a better idea what are the types of ingredients
that you can be getting from this stall. :D

So where can you try this?

The name of this stall would be '大肥娇鲨鱼炸五香虾饼'.
It's located inside 'Pasir Panjang Food Centre'.

Notes:

• Operating Hours: Uncertain, but most likely lunch time till 10pm.

Queueing up for more Dumplings ...

Though there are a few eateries located pretty near my current workplace, but once in a while, I will feel adventurous and I will ended up stepping out of the neighbourhood and travel a bit to some of the eateries that are further away.

It's a Friday afternoon and it's around 1pm, but yet there's a
queue outside this stall. I wonder what's so great about it.

'Dumplings Noodles' Since most of the people in the queue are going for either the 'Wanton Noodles' or the 'Dumplings Noodles', I decided to drop the idea of trying the 'Hor Fun' and go with the above. Wootz, though the coffee shop can appear to be pretty old, but the noodles from this stall are pretty good. The sambal chilli that was placed on the side of the plate isn't too spicy, but it does come with a pretty strong smell of prawns as you taste it. After stirring the noodles and the ingredients thoroughly, here comes the fun part. The noodles that you are getting here are pretty springy and firm. (Though, I personally feel that it will be perfect if the noodles can be slightly a bit more softer.) In fact this plate of noodles and ingredients were so satisfying that I ended up finishing the whole plate of noodles, even before I started digging into the bowl of 'Dumpling Soup'. :P

The 'Dumplings' were pretty good too. Though it might appear to be
pretty small, but once you started to pop one of them into your mouth,
you will just keep on going on and on. The ingredients used in each and
every one of them were pretty generous and not forgetting tasty. :D

So where can you try the noodles?

The name of this stall would be 'Soon Heng Noodle'（順興面家）.
It's located in the coffee shop at the corner of 'Pepys Road',
which is located near 'Pasir Panjang Food Centre'.

Notes:

• Operating Hours: 6am - 2:30pm (Closed on Sundays and Public Holidays)

A strong satay smell...

'Smell' plays a very big role in our life. Based on the smell, it can help you to decide what you are going to eat next, what you should not be touching and at the same time, make you hungry :P (That's for my case.)... So what does this post got to do with 'Smell'...?

Whenever I approach this place, the strong 'Satay' smell will turn
my stomach on. :P (Probably because of the location of all the
'Satay' stalls, but that smell is pretty much irresistible. :D)

'Chicken & Mutton Satay'
Due to religion reasons, hence I couldn't go for the Beef 'Satay', but
I still can go for the Chicken and Mutton 'Satay'. When the dish landed
on my table I was like... =="" The Chicken meat is ultra reddish in colour
and I miss my 'Satay' rice that was wrapped in the banana leaves, but
either ways appearance can be deceiving, hence here goes for nothing...

Although the rice doesn't smell as good as the normal 'Satay' rice, but
the taste is pretty much acceptable. As for the 'Satay', looks can really
be deceiving. All the 'Satay' ended up to be pretty chewy and it's isn't
too dry. Best of all, the sweet 'Satay' sauce that isn't too chunky.
I wonder how much effort, or in fact how much peanuts you need to grind
into order to make the 'Satay' sauce to smell so nice and still have a
crazily strong taste of peanuts. :?

So where can you try this?

The name of this stall would be 'Yusof Haji Jalal'.
It's located inside 'Pasir Panjang Food Centre'.
(By the way, the easiest way to get there would be the step of hopping
on to any one of the MRT trains in Singapore and get off at the Circle
line station 'Pasir Panjang'. The Food Centre is located next to the
train station.)

Notes:

• Operating Hours: 5pm - 11pm (Closed on Tuesday)
• Depending on the sales of the day, the stall might be closed before 8pm. =="" (One thing I loved about Hawkers, they just love to play the game of 'hard to get'.)
• By the way, it seems that this stall used to be located in the old 'Satay Club' back then, so why not hurried down to 'Pasir Panjang Food Centre' now to give a try. :D
