Tiong Bahru Lor Mee

Had gotten Dac, Gary and Mom to go to Bukit Batok for Lor Mee on Sunday morning. We found that we prefer the one at Bukit Purmei better.

Paradise on Earth

Had a sudden craving for steamboat and got Dac to bring me here to try the stemaboat here. The were a few choices of soup base and we settled on having the satay soup and the dried scallop soup. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The chiili was pretty good too.

I would definitely be coming back here if my craving for steamboat comes again.

Bak Ku Teh

Travelled all the way to Jurong West to try this Bak Ku Teh. Dac did not really like it. Still prefer the one at Sin Ming Road. Definitely would lnot go back all the way to eat it.

Sushi Tei

Dac and I really liked the Dragon Roll and Raw Salmon Salad when we first tried it at the branch at Serangoon Gardens. The Dragon Roll was served warm. The Salmon Belly soup is not bad too. The prices here are much higher than other shops. You are paying for quality and freshness here.

We realised that the standard of the food at different branches were different. The food at the branch at Vivocity was not up to standard although the servings were much larger.

We also tried the branch at Raffles City but the experience was not as good as at Serangoon Gardens. Maybe we should just go back to Serangoon Gardens. The atmosphere there is much cosier and classier.

Personally, I do not really like the dim sum served here. I still find that the dim sum at Red Star is still the BEST. But i must give them the credit that the dim sum was served piping hot and there are a few items that i actually like.

The Chicken Feet and Siew Mai was a total disappointment for Dac and I.

Meng Kee Satay Bee Hoon

Had been a follower of this Satay Bee Hoon Store since its pre-renovation days. My parents had eaten at their store when they were in their courtship days too.

The queue is always super super long, probably due to them cooking and serving pretty slowly. But have to wait for nice food.

Hum Jin Pang Store

Have eaten Hum Jin Pang (HJP) from this store since my A'levels days. Found this jewel when I was working at URA during my holidays while waiting for entry to University. That would be like 10 to 12 years ago.

The stall owner, 70-year old Lee Chok, also known as Hum Jin Pang Ah Pek, is a legend. He stands tall & mighty with his fragil frame, hunched to knead and roll dough non-stop with only his daughter to help out.

The selling point of this HJP stall is that customers can fry the HJP themselves while he continously dumps dough into the huge wok of hot cooking oil. The cost is only $1 for seven small puff that are available in two types: one infused with five spice (outer layer sprinkled with sugar & salt) and the other filled with sweet red bean paste. ( outer layer is covered with sesame).

The only catch is that they only open from 1pm to 8pm. Sometimes they end early if they finishes their 25kg of flour.
