Self-cooked Brunch 3th January 2015...


I love baked beans in tomato sauce... in fact, I can gobble up a small-medium can of baked beans in tomato sauce together with a few pieces of toasted bread as a meal...

Revisit to Chiew Kee Noodle House - Soy Sauce Chicken Noodles, Dumpling Soup

Had brunch last Sunday at this place (32, Upper Cross Street) again... The taste is addictive, hahahaha....



I ordered the "1 noodles and 1 soup", and gotten this... at $5... which means if the noodles is $3.50, the dumpling soup is $1.50... which I believe should be the 1-pax portion (of 3 dumplings) instead of the $5 à la carte version... which works out to be $0.50 per dumpling... which I believe is much worth than a cup of drink... which I will order for as long as they don't get me to order the à la carte instead, hahahaha... (



Here we go: (1) Springy (QQ) noodles with a bit of crunch, (2) sauce is mix of rich savoury with slightly more sweet than salty, (3) chicken is tender, skin is the best part, with the smooth texture soaked with the soy sauce gravy (卤汁) which is also slightly more skewed towards the sweet side than salty, (4) Remember to dip the chicken meat into the watery sweet-sour chilli sauce a bit (not too much as this might cover the meat taste)... Solid!!!!!!



The dumpling soup.... Soup itself is quite...normal, and I think they did add a bit of the soy sauce gravy in to try to enhance the taste... but the dumpling is nice! Very packed and filled with meat, bits of water chestnuts, and bits of chinese mushrooms really increase the taste and especially the texture when chewing... Good combi with the noodles... Ad like I say, I will keep this combi for subsequent orders, until they force me to buy the à la carte dumpling soup, hahahahahahahaha.....

Christmas Decorations Along Orchard Road 2015...







Sushi Express @ Bedok Point

The newly opened Sushi Express at Bedok Point replaces Kung Fu Paradise originally there... And with it, there are now a total of 3 restaurants that sells sushi in Bedok Point... It's selling point is of course the $1.50 per plate sushi, on conveyor belt...

The restaurant is located on the ground floor, just at the main entrance... The wall deco is cute...


The variety comes in batches as the staff prepares a few types for a certain time period, and then repeats with a different variety set after that... Or at least that is what we observed that day... Is the food nice?? Well, it is not too bad! Beyond our expectation. Do try the clam (???) slices, they give a very nice fragrance while chewing in the mouth... Other than sushi, they also have things like salad, mini cream puffs, blueberry cheescake, sushi-ingredients on plate without the rice, etc... but may depend on the availability on the day itself...


The utensils, soy sauce are at the side of the wall, should you choose/able to sit at the tables, and the tea is free flow... There is a time limit of 50 minutes per visit, but not sure if it is only on weekends or throughout the week... Oh, you do need to add GST and service charge to the total bill amount...

Mini Crab...

Mum found this little fella some time ago when cleaning and packing some prawns bought from the supermarket... yeap, already DOA ... 



Tandoori Cafe @ Blk 216 Bedok North Street 1 Hawker & Food Centre ...

The hawker centre is closed for washing from 17 Nov to (20 or 21) November 2014, so after then can go and eat... I want to recommend the "2 NAAN KEEMA" set that cost $4 (see the small sign to the left of the one with "NASI BIRYANI")...


Our usual request to the stall owner is to change the curry to the chick-pea gravy... very very very very nice, and also the chick peas add texture when munching... Do be prepared to wait a bit, as the owner will only prepare and bake the naan upon ordering... The naan is fluffy inside and crisp outside, and not overly baked until burnt... The naan also has the nice fragrance of the flour (面粉香) ...
