The killer small bites...

Though most of the time, if someone has setup a stall in a Hawker Centre, there's a very high possibility that the stall is going to sell something that is pretty filling. However, there will be exceptions too. For example, there will be stalls selling small bites like these...

'Soon Kueh'

Though the skin is pretty thick, but the crunchy sensation that I'm getting
from the ingredients that goes inside it is a (+). The turnip, carrots and
mushrooms have also come together to produce this nice fragrance that I like.
And do remember to have it with their chilli paste to enhance the overall taste
even far more further. :)

'Curry Puff'
This might appear to be pretty ordinary, but it's not. For a start, the skin
might appear to be pretty solid and tough, but in actual fact, it's not as
thick as I have imagined. Once I took a bite off the 'Curry Puff', there's this
nice fragrance of spices, topped with the crunchy sensation of the potatoes,
and the chewy sensation of the chicken strips and part of a hard boiled egg.
And on top of that, the strong taste is a (+) too. And I'm not referring to
the spicy taste but the strong taste spices. :D

So where can you give these small bites a good try?
The name of this stall would be "Fond's Dee Curry Puff".
It's hidden inside 'Clementi Market and Food Centre'.

Sitting next to a Tuk Tuk Cha...?

And nope, you don't need to go all the way to Thailand to have a meal next to a 'Tuk Tuk Cha'(Thailand's iconic transport vehicle). The same move is possible in Singapore too. :D

Left: Thai Milk Tea
Right: Homemade Lemongrass
Extreme opposites. For the Thai Milk Tea, the overpowering sweet taste simply makes it
irresistible. One could easily wipe out the whole cup in 1 sip. On the other end, the
Homemade is the kind of drink that could bring one out of a sleepy mode in 1 single sip.
The overpowering refreshing taste simply makes it a bit too crazy...

'Tom Yam Toast with Chicken Floss and Egg'
Hidden inside the toasted bread are a nice mixture of Tom Yam spread, topped with
'Chicken Floss' and 'Egg'. Though I'm not getting the fiery 'Tom Yum' sensation but
I'm getting a simplified 'Tom Yum' taste and a good mix of sweet ingredients. Not
too bad for a starter. :D

'Golden Toast'
The 'Golden Toast'. Though these are golden in color but they are not hard and
crunchy. In fact, they are crispy on the outer layer and fluffy inside. But that's
not the most indulging part. Once you dip the 'Golden Toast' into the different
types of dips, the real fun has just begin... Though they are offering different
types of dips over here but, I have ended up choosing the 'Homemade Pandan Kaya'
and 'Homemade Taro Kaya' a try. Both of them have this thick creamy texture and
I was scooping quite a big portion of it into my mouth. I personally find the
taste of the dips to be pretty thick and strong. Through these dips, I'm actually
getting the nice taste of 'Pandan' and 'Taro'. Not too bad for a snack.

So where can you give the snacks and drinks a good try?
The name of this place would be 'Tuk Tuk Cha'.
It's located inside 'Suntec City Tower 3'.
(See, there's a 'Tuk Tuk Cha' over here, though it's pretty much stagnant, but it
still have the looks of the 'Tuk Tuk Cha'. :P)

Where you can get Coconuts and Peanuts...

Stalls that prepare and sell these small bites as a living are getting lesser and lesser. Therefore, every single time I saw a stall preparing and selling these small bites, I just simply couldn't resist it.

"Kueh Tu Tu"
Is it me or my eyes are playing tricks on me? Am I getting a 'Kueh Tu Tu'
that is actually bending? Hmm... it is actually bending. But that's probably
due to the special texture that it has. But how about the taste???

With a texture that is much more fluffy and a higher proportion of
ingredients as compared to the snowy texture, the 'Kueh Tu Tu' is actually
quite good. Freshly prepared from the steamer, these small bites should be
eaten fresh. As compared to the chunky peanuts, I preferred the sweet Coconut
filling even much more. In fact, the overall sensation that I'm getting from
the 'Kueh Tu Tu' were pretty good, therefore I have managed to finish a full
packet of 'Kueh Tu Tu' within minutes.

So where can you give these 'Kueh Tu Tu' a good try?
The name of this stall would be "Tan's Tu Tu Coconut Cake"(陳家嘟嘟糕).
It's located in 'Havelock Road Cooked Food Centre'.

Not getting the free flow...

Nachos... I was reading about this place offering unlimited portions of 'Nacho', therefore I have decided to have my dinner there and at the same time do a bit of reading, but...

With a book in 1 hand and holding nothing in the other, I started pulling out
a 'Nacho' and scoop out a portion of 'Salsa' sauce and my teeth started
opening and closing, which looks as if I'm trembling. Though some might argue
that they are pretty tasteless in nature, but the crispy texture is a (+) and
there's always a good reason why one should have it with the 'Salsa' sauce.
Not only it's sweet, the sauce also comes with a flavorful taste too. Too bad
the portion of 'Nachos' over here isn't free flow, else I would have wipe out
a few baskets of 'Nachos' easily...

'Fajita El Patio'(Chicken)
The second the waitresses place this dish in front of me, I was @.@. Not only
I'm getting the sound of a sizzling plate of cooked ingredients, there's a
trace of smoke coming out of the sizzling plate too. I was pretty clueless
when I saw this dish. Looking at the cutlery by my side I was wondering should
I order something else to go with this dish.... However...

Luckily, the next dish that appears is this and by the looks of it, I have a
pretty good idea of what I'm going to do. I guess I'm suppose to scoop out a
few spoonfuls of yummy ingredients from the sizzling plate onto the tortillas.
After that, I can add any amount of 'Guacamole'(Green), 'Crema'(White) and
'Pico De Gallo'(Red) onto the tortillas. And not to forget about the greeny
vegetables and jalapenos too. And it's start to dig in...

There's a nice mix of flavors for a start. The sourly taste of the sauces,
mixed with the succulent chicken, topped with the crunchy vegetables, all
wrapped inside a tortillas. However, do be careful with the way you are
handling the tortillas. You wouldn't want to drop the delicious ingredients
at unnecessary spots. Though they only provide 3 flour tortillas only, but
that's more than enough to savor the overall taste of the dish and it's big
enough to satisfy the appetite of an average person, whereby the same rule
doesn't really apply on me.

So where can you give the 'Fajitas' a try?
The name of this place would be 'El Patio'.
It's located in 'Holland Village'.

The mother of all bread?!?

According to the Indian dictionary, the word 'Roti' means a type of bread. But what has that got to do with our post today?

'Coffee Bun'
This would be their signature bun. I remember a few years back, due to the popularity
of the 'Coffee Bun', in order not to lose out to the ever changing food market, almost
all the bakery in the neighborhood are selling this.

But what's so special about this?
For a start, the outer layer was pretty crispy. In contrast to the outer layer, the
inner layer was far more fluffy. As you dig into the bun, you will realize that the
bun has this nice sweet taste, topped with the nice aroma of 'Coffee'. This has pretty
much explains the popularity of this shop. (When I was walking past the place, I was
like how can this bakery survive with limited items on the menu... =.=""" However, it
seems that this shop has been around for more than 10 years, which is @.@.)

So where can you give the 'Coffee Bun' a good try?
The name of this shop would be 'Roti Mum'.
They currently only has a shop in Singapore, which is located in 'IMM'.

A pair of prawns...

Like the Chinese that has bite size snacks like 'Dim Sum', all the food cultures out there ought to have some indulging bite size snacks. And that has something to the post today. :P

'Samosa'
The comes in the shape of a triangle.

First of all, I loved the crispy crust which isn't too oily. Though the size of it
is kinda small but the taste is pretty alright. (In fact, if I want, I think I can
drop the whole thing into my mouth directly.) The filling comes with a strong
taste of potatoes, which is something that I like. :)

'Prawn Vadai'
This is the speciality over here. It looks pretty much similar to the Chinese
Prawn fritter. However, unlike the Chinese, the 'Prawn Vadai' over here has a
crispy texture but it's fluffy inside. Even though, by increasing the number of
prawns, it has pretty much secure the taste of the prawns in every single bite.
But as compared to the Chinese Prawn fritter, which comes with far more
ingredients has a much stronger taste, though it's much more oily too. :P

So where can you give these snacks a good try?
The name of this stall would be 'Sky Lab Cooked Food".
It's located inside 'Tekka Market'.

Notes:
  • Operating Hours:
    Wednesdays - Mondays: 08:00 - 19:30
    (Closed on Tuesdays)
  • Despite of the long hours, for some reason the 'Prawn Vadai' are gone by early afternoon. So if you want to give this a try, do try to make your way there by noon time.

Mixing your own drinks and dessert at a affordable price...

I love eating. If eating can be registered as a hobby, I would gladly do so. And if you are a smart eater, you can easily find great places that can not only satisfied your appetite, your taste bud and at the same time it's wallet friendly too. :D

'Spicy Chicken Set'
Ranging from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc... they are offering different
types of set meals over here. Since this is the first time, I'm coming here
I decided to go with this set meal.

'Kimchi'
The side dish that comes with this meal would be a bowl of 'Kimchi'. Nicely
marinated, the bowl of 'Kimchi' isn't too spicy and at the same time pretty
tasty. Too bad the portion is kinda small, but as a side dish, it has
definitely served it's purpose and bring up my appetite too.

'Spicy Chicken'
Surrounded with a nice pool of spicy sauce and at the same time covered with
ingredients like Sesame and Spring Onions, the succulent and tasty plate of
chicken is a pretty good deal. With this plate of chicken, one can easily
wipe out 2 or more bowls of rice. (It's just kinda sad that they ain't
offering free flow of rice over here.) However...

'Coffee float'
Though they don't have free flow of rice over here, but they do have free
flow of beverages and ice cream over here. For a start, I was trying out
one of the special menu for coffee floats over here. How should I put it,
though I'm getting both a sweet and a bitter taste, but this just simply
couldn't catch my attention. Though I would really want to give tea float
a try... but definitely not after a unique coffee float.

The set meal over here not only comes with free flow of hot/cold beverages.
It also comes with free flow ice cream too. Besides offering several big
tubs of ice cream of different flavors, they also have a machine that gives
you the normal soft serve ice cream too. Since there isn't a time
restriction, therefore you can really sit here the whole enjoying the free
flow of beverages and ice cream and chill the whole afternoon away. :D

So where can you give the food a good try?
The name of this place would be 'Just Acia'
It has a few outlets island wide and the above shows the outlet located inside
'Dhoby Ghaut Xchange', which is located inside 'Dhoby Ghaut MRT'.

Notes:
  • Since they have a few outlets island wide, therefore the opening hours varies from outlet to outlet.

The Oasis next to Laguna Beach ...

Sometimes dining out doesn't mean that the food is the most important factor, the ambiance can play a big part in the overall dining experience too. Luckily, I have tried to contact my friend in that part of the world, otherwise I wouldn't have the luxury to enjoy my lunch at this amazing place. :)

This is my first meal in the United States and it's pretty amazing already.
Flooded with a big spread of Mexican dish and seafood dishes, the items
listed on the menu looks pretty indulging. :P Too bad I didn't brought a 2nd
or 3rd stomach with me else I would have definitely gone for not 2 but 3 or
more items on the menu. :)

'Pasta de Mariscos'
I ended up choosing this as the main dish. Not only it comes with a nice
pool of ingredients, I kinda like the blend of Tomato sauce that they are
using over here. It isn't too sweet and the rich Tomato taste is a big (+).
Last but not least, when you mix the fresh seafood ingredients and the pasta
with the nice sauce and as I take a bite, it makes me feel like a whale
gobbling down a big mouthful of delicious seafood. :D

Actually, we have also placed an order for a plate of 'Fresh Guacamole' but I
have completely forgotten to take a photo of that dish. Though it works like
a plate of Salsa sauce that goes with a bowl of chips but the taste of the
sauce isn't exciting and interesting enough.

While waiting for our lunch to be served, I was enjoying the sea breeze.
With the fiery sun up in the sky and the cooling sea breeze blowing towards
me, if I'm staying or living in this area, with a book in my hand, I think
I would ended up sitting here for the whole afternoon enjoying the nice
ambiance.

The name of this place would be 'Las Brisas'.
It's located along the beautiful coast of Laguna Beach.

Opening Hours:
  • Mondays - Saturdays: 08:00 - 22:00
  • Sundays
    Brunch: 09:00 - 15:00
    Dinner: 16:00 - 22:00

Overdose of Chicken Wings

Are you looking for a place to chill out and have a good chat over unlimited finger food? This might be a good alternative for you...

'Fries'
Pretty boring for a start. Even without salt, this isn't solid/crunchy
to my liking. But, looking it from a different perspective, 'Fries'
isn't their specialty... Their signature stuff over here are the...

Left: 'Yangnyum Chicken'
Middle: 'Curry Up Chicken'
Right: 'Spicy Up Chicken'
I will start with the most unlikable one first.
(The one that displease me the most. =.=)

The first one would be the 'Curry Up Chicken'. Since they are merely
pouring the 'Curry gravy' over the 'Fried Chicken', hence the taste of
the 'curry' didn't blend into the meat completely. Therefore, I have
listed this to be the first out of the three items.

The second one would be the 'Spicy Up Chicken'. If you are looking for
'Spicy Chicken Wings', you will be very disappointed. The 'chicken wings'
ain't spicy enough, but the non-greasy yet crispy skin combined with the
tender meat is worth a big (+), but this isn't as good as the...

'Yangnyum Chicken'. Coated with a sweet and spicy sauce, this is much
more enjoyable than the other 2. Though, I'm not getting the fiery
sensation but the crispy skin is really very very good. Despite of the
fact that my fingers are getting pretty sticky, but it couldn't stop me
from wiping out a plate of 'Yangnyum Chicken' within minutes. :D Oh, by
the way, the meat of the 'chicken wings' are pretty tender too. This is
pretty much similar to the 'Spicy Up Chicken' except for the tasty skin.

'Andong Chicken'
If all the 'Fried Chicken' are getting a bit too much, you can give
this 'Chicken Stew' a try. I personally like the vegetables that comes
with it. Though the chicken that comes with this dish isn't big enough
but the spicy stew is pretty interesting. I wonder if they would provide
a bigger portion if I'm dining in a much more bigger group.

'Yangnyum Chicken'
Like what I have mentioned earlier, this is pretty good and yummy, but
this can get pretty boring and sickening when you dig into the 5th or
6th one. I would strongly encourage you to dig into different types of
chicken and try not to stick to 1 type of chicken only.

The name of this restaurant would be 'Chicken Up'.
There's a few outlets located islandwide and this
outlet is located along 'Tanjong Pagar Road'.

Opening Hours:
  • Mondays - Thursdays: 17:30 - 02:00
    Fridays - Saturdays: 17:30 - 03:00
    Sundays: 17:30 - 00:00

By The Way:
  • If you are a big eater, you can go for the 'Chicken Buffet' that they are offering over here. You can place unlimited orders for selected items on the menu and that can be pretty appealing to big eaters like me. :P Do call in to find out more about the 'Chicken Buffet;.
  • One of the signatures over here would be stuff like the different types of 'Soju Cocktails', especially the 'Watermelon Soju' that was served in a 'Watermelon'. I was looking at it and it looks pretty stunning.
  • Do try to make reservations before you turn up at the restaurant. Otherwise the queue can be pretty nasty, especially when you are hanging out in a big group.

The 2 Wings of a Chicken...

Everyone knows that a Chicken comes with 2 wings and different chefs will come up with their own special unique formula in order to savor it to the max. Hence...

'Half Spring Chicken' set
The set comes with 2 complement side dishes. We ended up choosing the
'Potato Wedges' and the 'Chilled Mash Potato Salad. As a side dish,
these 2 dishes are pretty interesting. The 'Potato Salad' seems to be
a mixture of normal 'Chilled Potato' and 'Coleslaw'. As I pop one of
them into my mouth, there's a nice mix of crunchy bits and mashed
ingredients inside my mouth. And there's also a nice mix of different
tastes, which is mainly made up of the 'Potato' and 'Coleslaw'. As for
the 'Potato Wedges', My friend was simply too fast for me. As I was
digging into parts of the Chicken, he has managed to wipe out all the
wedges within minutes. O.O This is the first time I saw him wiping out
all the ingredients at this rate, so I guess the wedges must be
pretty good.

As for the 'Spring Chicken', though it wasn't a relatively big one,
but the taste is pretty good. First of all, they didn't try to fake
the size of the 'Chicken' by covering it with a thick layer of flour
and tries to deep fried it. The 'Spring Chicken' over here comes with a
thin layer of crispy skin and on top of that, as you took a bite off
the 'Chicken', you will be pretty amazed with the moist and juicy meat.
Even though they didn't coat it with some special seasoning, but this
doesn't stops me from finishing the chicken, which is both delicious
and not too greasy at all.

'Chicken Wings'
These are the real deal. Not only they are relatively big in size,
these boring looking 'Chicken Wings' can be pretty deceiving when it
comes to the taste. Pretty much similar to the 'Spring Chicken', the
'Chicken Wings' ain't covered in a thick layer of flour, what it has
would be a thin layer of crispy skin too. On top of that, the skin isn't
too greasy and oily, which is worth another (+). Though I started off
using the fork and knife, but it gets kinda annoying when I couldn't
wipe out all the meat from the different corners, therefore I decided
to move on and use my bare hands to break the joint and wipe out all
the delicious bits, which is pretty awesome.

So where can you give the 'Chickens' a good try?
The name of this stall would be 'Two Wings'.
It's located inside one of the coffee shops along 'Bukit Merah Lane'.

Though looks kinda old but...

I have been having numerous meals around this area and I never thought that I can actually find such a stall over here. And here comes...

my lunch.
It comes with a plate of Noodles mixed with 'Kway Teow' and a few
types of ingredients.

For a start, the plate of Noodles comes with an acceptable portion
and taste. The reason why I have gone ahead placing an order for a
plate of Noodles is mainly due to the fact that some ingredients
will taste much better when you have it with something else. Too
bad they didn't offer other types of chilli's over here, else the
plate of Noodles might have tasted much more better with sliced
chillies. The Chinese sausage is pretty chewy and yummy for a start,
but it's nothing as compared to the 'Otah'. Anyway, the 'Otah' that
just left the barbecue stove minutes ago was fantastic. It's warm,
yummy, spicy and at the same time, it has this nice texture. Best of
all as I dig into it, the 'Otah' has this nice taste and aroma of
spicy fish meat, which is a (+) to me.

'Chicken Wings'.
One of the signature ingredients over here would be the 'Chicken
Wings'. How amazing the 'Chicken Wings' are? For a start, just by
taking a closer look at the styrofoam plate, there isn't traces of
oil that was left by the 'Chicken Wings', which makes it a good
start. As I took my first bite off the 'Wings', the juicy flesh
started bursting inside my mouth. As I took more and more bites, I
realized that the thin layer of skin is pretty crispy too. And one
of the winning factor would be the size of the 'Chicken Wings'. Not
only it tastes good, the size of it is a (+) too. :)

So where can you give the food a good try?
The name of this stall would be 'Eng Kee'(榮記).
It's located in one of the coffee shops located along 'Commonwealth Drive'.

2 sizes of Kueh Tutu

But wait, no matter how you look at it, the 'Kueh Tutu' can only be of that size what. How would it be possible to have 2 different sizes of 'Kueh Tutu'. In fact...

'Kueh Tutu'
Tada... Here you go, 2 different sizes of 'Kueh Tutu'. Even though
the bigger one doesn't have the nice prints on it, but no matter
how you take a look at it, it's still a 'Kueh Tutu'. Not only they
have the interesting sizes of 'Kueh Tutu', the overall dining
experience is pretty good too.

For a start, they really push the fillings to the limits. As you can
see, the layer of flour that wraps around the filling is pretty thin.
Frankly speaking, not only the proportions of the flour and the
fillings are pretty good, I love the sweet taste of the ingredients
(Regardless it's the crunchy peanuts or the coconut)too. Time to
packet a few home. :)

So where can you give the 'Kueh Tutu' a good try?

Better than the normal Chicken Nuggets...

Hmmm.... sometimes it might get pretty boring if you are sitting in a corner reading a book only. Therefore, things will get far more interesting if you can get yourself a beverage and some...

'Crispy Chicken Nugget'(香香炸雞)
The helpers just scoop out a tray of nuggets, therefore I'm getting all these
mist around the lens of my camera. Well, let me wipe my lens first...

As a snack, these golden brown bite size nuggets are pretty good. They are
pretty chewy and tender. Although, it's pretty juicy, but I personally find
it not juicy enough. Besides for the taste, 1 good thing that I like about
the texture of these Nuggets. They are not very oily and at the same time
they are not covered in a thick layer of flour. Anyway, taste wise, it's
pretty tasty and I'm also getting the spicy and fiery sensation too. In fact,
I don't feel thirsty at all, despite of the fact that I have eaten a big
packet of 'Nuggets'.

So where can you give the 'Nuggets' a good try?

Love 4 Taiwanese Chick?

Since I have been hanging out the Bugis area quite often, the small alleys of 'Bugis Village' are pretty interesting. There are numerous shops selling all the different types of small bites and the post today has something to do with it...

'Extra Crispy Chicken'(香炸雞排) a.k.a 'Ella'
The first interesting point about the 'main dishes' over here are the names.
All the 'main dishes' were named after a well-known Taiwanese artiste. For example,
'Ella' is the name of one out of the three artistes of the female group 'S.H.E'
in Taiwan. And though in terms of the size the Crispy Chicken over here isn't the
biggest in Singapore but the taste is pretty good. The crispy texture and the
tender, juicy meat combination is pretty good. However even though this is the
main dish I think that in terms of the taste that I'm getting from this 'main
dish', it's not as fantastic as the...
'Sweet Potato'(甘梅地瓜)
Since I'm not into 'French Fries', I decided to go ahead with this side dish.
This ended up to be much much better than normal 'French Fries'. Firstly, the
nice crunchy texture of the 'Sweet Potato' is already a big (+). Secondly, the
deep fried 'Sweet Potato' has this bright orangey color that not only looks
good, it also tastes pretty good too. Third but not least, the nice sweet taste
of the 'Sweet Potato'. Though it's coated with 'Plum Powder' but I'm not really
getting the taste of the 'Plum Powder'. Either it's the sweet taste of the 'Sweet
Potato' that is far too overpowering or the 'Plum Powder' isn't strong enough.
'Caramel Milk Tea with Grass Jelly'(仙草焦糖奶茶)
Even though the sweet taste of the 'Milk Tea' isn't that bad, but it's not special
enough too. Though with the extra portion of 'Grass Jelly', it have added the
chewy sensation to the drink itself but it's a bit too normal as compared to the
'Main' and the 'Side Dish'. :|
The name of this shop would be 'I Love Taimei'(我愛台妹).
All the outlets are located inside 'Bugis' area.
