Half Day Leisure Trip at Nex ( Serangoon ) 16 March 2021

 Sent my car for servicing at Ubi, and realised Ubi mrt is nearby, hence started my half-day leisure trip to Nex. Had breakfast there, some shopping, and then lunch, before returning to Ubi to collect my car.

Breakfast at Fong Sheng Hao 豐盛號. Ordered TW Special Pork Patty but not sure if they gave correct one, as the patty was very thin... I hope not... Bread is slightly chewier than normal ones, and taste naturally sweet, probably due to the milk content? Scramble-styled egg is fluffy, and goes well with the sauce of the patty. Sauce is slightly to the sweeter side with nice fragrance aided by the pork taste. Cheese however is over-powered by the sauce flavour. The cane flavoured red tea has strong tea after-taste, and elegant sweetness, probably due to the cane sugar. Can be addictive.

Lunch is at Pavilion Banana Leaf restaurant. The teh tarik is just nice in sweetness, has quite good Ceylon tea fragrance and smooth texture. The samosa is quite a big piece, and comes with a green (peppermint leaves ???) sauce and a red (sweet chilli???) sauce. Skin is slightly thick, and crips on the outside, and seem to have a spice taste. Filling consists of potatoes (mashed), spices, cashew nut, peas, etc. Quite good with the green sauce especially. Mutton Briyani is very big portion, think good enough for 2 servings. Moist rice has nice fragrance, and taste well with the gravy mixed. Many big chunks of mutton is included, very tender and no weird smell, very delicious. The red sauce/gravy is a not very spicy nor hot, and can be added to some of the non-gravy-mixed-rice.  The white yogurt sauce (raita ?) is super nice, on the meat or rice. Amazing piece of papadum that remains crispy after long time. Think this meal costs around $25 or so...
