Not a must to be spicy...

Probably most of the time when you decided to try this ingredient, it might ended up to be a relatively spicy dish. However, it might not be the case over here.

'Our Dinner' After spending close/more than an hour for our orders, dinner is finally served. Yes, we are not joking. After placing our orders and wait for approximately an hour, we finally got our food.

'Braised Duck Meat' This would be the main highlight that day. Not really sure how much time was needed to prepare this braised dish, such that the taste and the color of the braised sauce has blend into the flesh and the bones of the duck meat nicely. Probably due to the fact that it was prepared for a pretty long period of time, therefore one can pull out all the tasty flesh from the bones easily. Despite of the size of that plate and the price that one has to pay for this dish, this still remains to be a pretty good dish that one should try. But the biggest highlight of this stall isn't the braised meat but...

'Clear bowl of Fish Soup' This might look like your typical bowl of fish soup that you might be getting anywhere, but there's a special ingredient hidden inside. Besides for Sliced Fish, Sliced Tomato, Lettuce, it also has 'Sze Chuan Vegetables'... O.o""? That ingredient not only adds a crunchy touch to the ingredients that you are getting, it also adds a nice sour and strong taste to the overall taste of the bowl of soup. Though I'm not getting the spicy taste from the vegetable but this really stands out as compared to a normal bowl of fish soup that only comes with a sweet taste. And by adding a sour taste to the soup can really helps one to beat the heat. :P

So where can you give the fish soup a good try?

Besides for the special fish soup, they also have braised duck innards too. I have eaten chicken and pork innards before. But braised duck innards, I would really want to give that a good try. :P

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?

No more goose only left...

Due to relevant resources, this stall used to prepare and sell goose meat, but due to some restrictions they are only preparing pork and duck meat nowadays.

'Braised Duck Meat Set Meal' The set meal comes with a plate of 'Duck meat', a bowl of white rice and a bowl of soup. Too bad they don't have 'Yam Rice' over here, since I personally preferred it over a bowl of white rice. Even when it's covered with the tasty braised sauce, I still thinks that it's much inferior as compared to a tasty bowl of 'Yam Rice'. However...

The cuts over here are pretty thick. On top of that, the moist cuts are pretty tasty and flavorful. In fact, I can live without the salty braised sauce. It's the chilli sauce that I couldn't live without. Though it's pretty nice but the chilli sauce over here just doesn't have the nice kick. Probably I'm just too used to the usual Sambal chilli... :P

So where can you give the food a good try?

When everything looks so fiery....

And by having a fiery exterior doesn't mean that the ingredients are spicy in nature. If you ended up looking at a big plate of reds, don't be afraid, what you are going experience would most likely to be a plate of...

'Indian Rojak' Started off choosing the usual stuff like ''Fried Beancurd', 'Fried Fish Cake', etc... then I pretty much started to give up identifying the different types of ingredients. Event though the shape of the different types of ingredients are completely different, but the colors are pretty much the same. =.=""" One of the interesting ingredients that they are offering over here would be a special type of prawn fritters that is made up of mini shrimps. One might ask what's so special about the shrimps? It simply means that every single bite out of the prawn fritters will be filled with a nice taste of shrimps, which is (+). Besides for the nice range of ingredients that they are preparing and offering over here, the warm, thick and tasty sauce is a (+) too. When you started dipping the ingredients into the sauce and pop them into your mouth, Hmmmmm... it tastes so good. :P Rather than choosing a plate of ingredients of a similar texture, one good reason why I like Rojak would be the nice mix of ingredients with different textures and chewing sensation. :)

So where can you give this plate of ingredients a good try?

The name of this stall would be 'Haji Johan Muslim Food Temasek Indian Rojak'. It's located inside 'Tekka Market'.

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?

Playing with Fishes...

Is it because of the type of fish that they have chosen over here? Or is it due to their culinary skills that might be super amazing? It's either this or that but either ways, the fish soup over here are pretty amazing.

'Batang Fish Soup' Looking from afar, this already looks pretty appealing. For a start, I'm really getting lots of sliced fish in that big bowl of soup.

As I pull the bowl closer, that's really quite a number of sliced fish. I started popping one after another inside my mouth. Hmm, these big, fat and firm slices of fish are pretty sweet. Even though it took me a bit of time to wipe out all the fish slices but what amaze me the most would be the texture of the fish slices still remain to be pretty firm and delicious all the way down. On top of that, the soup base is pretty sweet and tasty too, which makes this a pretty good lunch.

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

Fanciful Rice Dishes...

Unlike a typical stall that focus on 1 or 2 types of rice dishes, the stall over here is far more interesting. On top of that it seems more like a typical 'Cze Char' stall rather than a normal 'Chicken' or 'Duck' stall.

'Oatmeal Fried Chicken Rice'(麥片雞扒飯) This dish is neither Chinese nor Japanese. It's a bowl of white rice topped with a Japanese like Fried Chicken Cutlet and crispy oatmeal bits. Besides for the meaty bit, there's a fried egg and a small portion of vegetables too. If you ask me, this is probably the result of the amazing range of cuisine that you can get in Singapore.

Taste wise, it's a (+). Not only it's juicy, the Fried Chicken is reasonably crunchy and tasty too. When you mixed it with the small bits of oatmeal, the taste of this bowl of rice simply gets more and more interesting. As for the fried egg, I personally find it to be a bit too boring. (Or probably it's the meat that is far too tasty, therefore...) Anyway, for spicy food lovers, do remember to give their blend of Chilli a good try. :P

So where can you give this dish a good try?

The name of this stall would be 'Pin Wei Local Kitchen'(品味小廚). It is located in 'ABC Brickworks Market/Food Centre'.
