yong tau foo 

so we had a 5pax family lunch outing at holland drive food centre this morning on 25.9.2016.

we shared what i thought was expensive not great kueh chap & braised duck at cheng heng.

hakka noodle yong tau foo 

& daughter ordered 2 bowls of ytf at hakka noodles.

yong tau foo 

name is hakka but it felt more like hock chew?

the 釀 meat fillings were pork & not fish meat??

wife & daughter didn’t like it much.

soup was ok. ytf was non-descript. we left about 4 pieces uneaten.

i did not mind the noodles & chilli with some ikan bilis. but far from anything worth eating la.

kueh chap

went for 5pax family lunch at holland drive food centre on 25.9.2016. ^^

today we shared some duck & kueh chap.

and daughter ordered 2 yong tau foo from hakka noodles.

cheng heng kueh chap

cheng heng kueh chap is a popular stall here.

cheng heng kueh chap

long queue.

i wonder why after trying the food?

but there’s always a reason. so i guess most people actually like the food. & in the end things are relative, just a matter of comparison.

kueh chap

the kueh was ok, soft. the gravy/sauce though not so tasty.

kueh chap

the intestines & pig skin were good, texture & taste, tau kua also good, taupok so so not soft enough not well infused yet, kong bak too fatty.

lor nerng (braised egg) was good. chai buay was not. not tasty like those teochew muay ones.

the duck was the poorest of the lot. duck not “pang” (flavourful) at all, meat too soft.. i forgot to take photo as it came last.

(cheng heng’s duck was like less than 1/2 the serving of happy duck’s 1/2 duck for S$18 in the photo below).

& it was S$26 for very little food.

bukit merah view FC happy duck’s 1/2 braised duck S$18

bukit merah view happy duck’s pigs ear, intestines, pig skin & lor bak S$10

so as i said everything just a matter of comparison.

c/w the S$30 duck & kueh chap lunch for 5pax guys i had at happy duck bukit merah view food centre on 16.6.2015?

for me, actually simply no comparison la..how to compare???

lor arh = braised duck

& if it was just a matter if taste & not price, then my own lor arh would be just a lot better lor..

lol!🙂

7 dishes for 5pax RI friends lunch

we had a 5pax homecooked lunch today on 23.9.2016. ^^

many of our good friends are away “reprising” the silk road journey to the west.

so this was an eat together for the folks left behind, lol!

7 dishes for 5pax RI friends lunch

i made 6 dishes +  simple cheng chow dessert.

a friend brought a huge cereal prawns dish, unannounced! (the dish NOT the guy la…)

a friend brought cereal prawns – it was very good

excellent cereal prawns this, as good as the good zi char restaurants outside.

a friend brought cereal prawns – it was very good

he brought like 20 prawns, that’s nearly (or is??) 1 kg…

no wonder he said on whatsapp chat my tofu prawn dish not enough to eat.🙂

a friend brought cereal prawns – it was very good

he told me to put in the oven for 2 minutes (i did it at 180degC… he like not very sure la…prawns made by his helper but actually he did know about the dish, not so blurrrr… lol!)

i didn’t know, but the dish came out perfectly, nicely warm still crispy, prawns fresh, quite excellent la! ^^

this guy CTHD (crouching tiger hidden dragon), his roast pork also very good…so roast pork & cereal prawn dishes, i no need to learn…see the sio bak dish at our teochew muay lunch on 28.10.2015!

my tofu prawns almost perfect today

luckily my tofu prawn dish also quite good today.

it was a lot better than when i first attempted the dish for my OPS friends on 4.8.2016. :-)

my tofu, prawns & most importantly the sauce very good today. ^^

sik bao sin’s tofu prawn dish

i was recreating sik bao sin’s tofu prawn dish (above photo).

tofu prawns – recreating sik bao sin’s dish

i guess egg tofu would be better but i wanted to use the silken tofu in the fridge, which were soften & harder to fry. but they came out very good today.

tofu prawns – recreating sik bao sin’s dish

& the perfect touch (almost la) was to top with an egg (just stir a bit) when reheating to serve.🙂

add smoothness to the sauce & looked pretty!

claypot wine chicken (modelling after JB shoon huat’s claypot chicken)

i was modelling after JB shoon huat bakuteh’s claypot chicken.

different but just as good. can be improved la…

my sauce was very tasty, & chicken very tender not overcooked or “old”, which is the usual problems with chicken dishes outside, but next time i would reduce the sauce a bit more so chicken would be more tasty.

JB shoon huat’s claypot sesame chicken

JB shoon huat’s claypot sesame chicken one of the better ones i tried.

braised yellow croaker 红烧小黄鱼 – room for improvements

i did a braised yellow croaker 红烧小黄鱼. this the teochew 半煎煮style.

braised yellow croaker 红烧小黄鱼 – room for improvements

braised yellow croaker 红烧小黄鱼 – room for improvements

fish was ok. “pang” from the frying, texture was good.

fish was fresh & tasty. but sauce need to be improved.

steamed salted fish minced pork 咸鱼饼 

this steamed salted fish minced pork 咸鱼饼 very “laku” with my friends! ^^

favourite with me too. such nice comfort food.🙂

i don’t make it often myself, as my helper does it very well.

today very nice, we sapu everything la….

fried lala-manila clams

i think only dish today NOT so great was the manila clams.

i did an almost perfect manila clams for my friends previously for a memorable 15 dishes teochew muay lunch on 28.0.2015.

lala-manila clams

this time i bought the clams the day before, and kept in the fridge in water with ice overnight, and drain the clams before cooking.

stir-fried manila clams with curry leaves – 28.10.2015

looking back at the photos, the clams a bit wet today, and i think my spice/sauce not as good la…

stir-fried romaine lettuce 油麦菜

the romaine lettuce 油麦菜 was ok, quite nice, but maybe as my friend said, a dry garlic 清炒might be better still.

ginko nuts lotus seeds cheng chow dessert

made a simple ginko nuts lotus seeds cheng chow dessert.🙂

just buy cheng chow from sheng shiong, and a packet each of ginko & nuts lotus seeds & boiled in water with brown sugar & pandan leaves…🙂

ginko nuts lotus seeds cheng chow dessert

very refreshing & nice dessert, easy to make la….

nice jap greentea biscuits

a friend brought nice jap greentea biscuits.

nice jap greentea biscuits

this another very enjoyable lunch. dishes quite easy to make & nice.

& old friends coming together to chit chat & share…many of us not the big crowd type, so great to have very large gatherings, but a few friends spending an afternoon & lunch very fun for us la. ^^

S$4 mee pok tar 

wife having dinner with her friends. children eating out.

decided to have a quick early dinner at jln tua kong mee pok tar at 6th avenue on 22.9.2016. ^^

jln tua kong mee pok tar @ 6th avenue 

i ordered the S$4 mee pok tar. really shiok la!🙂

S$4 mee pok tar 

it’s really good S$4 mee pok tar…

everything good, the lar pok (crispy lard) the qq noodles, chilli especially good, minced pork, soup etc…

maybe fish balls not as good as xinlu at meiling food centre…

otherwise superb!

S$4 mee pok tar

Good Good Eating House 好好餐室

steamed chicken feet 

wife finished late today.

we did not want heavy lunch so decided to take advantage of 25% discount for tea at crystal jade kitchen @ hollandv (3pm to 5pm) on 21.9.2016.^^

good timing to do some errands & got a seat at the restaurant at 3pm.

crystal jade kitchen @ hollandv-3.15pm

restaurant was quite empty at this hour.

har gao 

har gao was tasty.

skin breaking up a bit but skin & fillings both tasty. i took with some chilli, quite enjoy it.

steamed pork ribs 

steamed pork ribs were good.

tasty, and good amount of meat. tender too. good standard this.

& the steamed chicken feet (top photos). good too.

3-combo porridge =liver,kidney,meatballs

& we always like the porridge (or congee) here.

we ordered the 3-combo, with liver, kidney & meat balls.

3-combo porridge =liver,kidney,meatballs 

porridg very smooth 滑, very good standard.

the bill after 25% discounts-S$26 

basically this standard of dimsum & porridge is HK standard. maybe a bit more than HK prices.

with 25% discounts it was ok at S$26nett. maybe still more ex than HK.

very good ice lemon tea S$1.80

after an excellent best-value lunch at feng bo zhuang, we went to essen at the pinnacle for cuppa on 20.9.2016. ^^

pinnacle @ duxton

pinnacle just outside CBD, so cheap parking just S$1 per hour.

and you can just walk down to tanjong pagar market, where my OPS friend has a stall selling chickens.

i bought some apples, pears, spanish melon from a fruit stall there.

such a wonderfully designed HDB skyscraper.

look better than private condos la…🙂

essen at the pinnacle

nice cafe. there is nice seating indoors.

also nice wooden tables & chairs outside.

we had a drink inside, then continue outside open patio.🙂

essen at the pinnacle

view of the buildings from the outside patio.

ancient tree

& the ancient tree outside.

i had a cappuccinoS$2.40. the long black were similarly priced.

it was average, not great, but quite a lot lower price for brewed coffee.

the i had another drink – an iced lemon tea. this was very good. not like just tea with a lemon slice, but nice strong lemon drink with tea flavours. very good. not too sweet also.

they say the food there so so & expensive, like 3 chicken wings for S$8.50. i think also very limited choice. so not much business la…

the drinks seem ok.🙂

#4 spicy fish 口水鱼 – S$18

we had 7pax dinner here last month on 16.8.2016.

food was ok for me and there were a few dishes i liked especially the trotters, duck soup, & the 百叶fried bean curd puff dishes.

we had a spare S$100 groupon voucher, so my OPS friend decided to come back today to feng bo zhuang 风波庄 for lunch on 20.9.2016 before the voucher expires. ^^

appetizer

we had chinese tea & appetizer, a spicy bean thing, slightly salty.

i saw on the bill (bottom photo) that they charged S$1pax, pretty ok.

#1 jelly fish – S$8

my 2 OPS friends ordered the dishes. & they were a lot better than the last time.

we had jelly fish, refreshing, quite standard, pretty ok.

#2 lamb, pork, chicken skewers – 10 skewers S$1 each

we had 10 skewers – lamb, pork chicken.

seasoning ok the peppery 羊肉串flavours but the not well bbq, don’t have the bbq flavours.

#3 frog in bamboo 竹筒牛蛙 – S$18

frog was poor the last time.

but this frog in bamboo 竹筒牛蛙  quite tasty, especially with the sauce at the bottom.

#4 spicy fish 口水鱼 – S$18

the spicy fish 口水鱼 looked wonderful, not quite the usual 水煮鱼standard.

the spices were actually quite good, flavourful, but the fish slices not great, not sweet, texture not great, not sure what fish this.

#5 chicken with 粉皮&金针day lily – S$18

the stewed chicken with mushroom dish was very tasty.

the soup was excellent though slightly salty, still drinkable.

#6 红烧雪菜小黄鱼braised yellow croaker – S$18

the 红烧雪菜小黄鱼braised yellow croaker with salted veg was excellent. the frying 煎made it very “pang” & the braising 红烧gave it the sauce flavours & moist texture, excellent 半煎煮preparation.

#6 红烧雪菜小黄鱼braised yellow croaker – S$18

for me the chicken soup & the 红烧雪菜小黄鱼braised yellow croaker were the 2 best dishes for lunch today.

#7 potato strips 土豆丝 – S$9

the julienned potato strips 土豆丝 was good, very competently done, excellent crunchy texture & sweet.

#7 spicy veg 干炒时蔬 – S$16

the spicy veg 干炒时蔬 was a bit wet, not so 干. veg were ok, good enough, the flavourful mala taste only at the bottom.

the bill

the bill for 7 dishes + the 10 skewers came to S$121.

so with groupon voucher S$50 discounts (S$50 for S$100 voucher), it was S$71 for 8 dishes for 5pax. a really good deal in my opinion.

today the lunch was very good. i enjoyed every dish (more or less), and the service was quite ok & pleasant.

it seemed so different from the last time –

• first we ordered dishes that was almost all good (for me only the skewers were food i didn’t need..), and service also…so ordering the right dishes make a huge difference.
• like i mentioned previously if you don’t need to ask questions, just order yourself the service was quite the usual & pleasant enough.

after this lunch, this a place i will come again if there is groupon offer, just maybe not too soon.

after lunch we went to essen @ pinnacle for some coffee & chit chat.🙂

curry chicken noodles

OPS primary school classmates came for 9pax dinner on 13.9.2016.^^

i made curry chicken noodles.

looking at my previously blog posts, i served curry chicken noodles to my RI friends-

1. 11pax dinner on 11.3.2013 &
2. shiok home lunch for 9pax friends on 9.3.2015.

the curry chicken noodles were good on both counts. i guess they were served in very small amounts with more of other dishes provided.

curry chicken noodles

for this evening, i also had braised duck, egg taupok tau kua, tau you bak, fried leeks.

chicken & duck were good but noodles a bit disappointing, not enough soup & not spicy & tasty enough.

taupok & egg good, tau kua ok, tau you bak quite good when i took some leftovers, but last evening some parts skin were tough.

veg was not good.

we were chatting on FB afterwards, & i shared-

i used 18 dry chilli..nearly double c/w my usual nonya curry chicken..this though is like a soup NOT gravy so quantity is more than 2x usual probably 3x (my usual gravy)..i used bones from 3 chicken as stock..the soup was actually very tasty though (still) not spicy..however when noodles added taste much diluted..actually the taupok though infused & tasty seemed to take away & dilute the taste of the soup oso…so looks like got to have double the amount of soup or 1/2 the amount of noodles in order to get the taste right.

duck noodles

braised duck was good this evening.

i took out some noodles from the curry chicken noodle bowls & served 2 bowls of duck noodles to 2 friends.

i think duck noodles were very good.

duck noodles

i shared in the same FB chat-

duck noodles i think was good & yours too but you already thought soup was slightly “light” & the noodles in the duck noodles <<1/2 that in curry chicken noodles…so if i were to do 9 bowls of duck noodles it would be the same problem…

lor arh = braised duck

i just used ready made Tai Wah chicken marinate (大华鲁鸡汁) to braise the duck.

so just need to rub the duck inside & outside with 2 tbsp sugar, add whole bulb of peeled garlic plus cut ginger, cover & baste the duck (about 2kg from giant) for 1hr 10mins.

lor arh = braised duck

duck was tender & flavourful (the lor was very “pang”).

lor nerng-braised egg and tau kua

& i used that to make the lor nerng-braised egg and tau kua.

lor nerng-braised egg, taupok and tau kua

lastly cooked the taupok strips & placed over the tau kua.

tau pok was well infused & very tasty.

for tau kua i think they need to be taken with some sauce, so i should add more sauce when serving next time.

duck noodles

i used some of the sauce to make 2 bowls of duck noodles.

duck noodles

so basically the trick is to add enough soup for the noodles so taste would not be diluted=either more soup or more achievable, less noodles.

tau you bak

tau you bak today also not ideal.

though i have made i knew were excellent very tender tau you bak in large quantities for teban gardens & also bread of life community meals, today one piece i tried the skin was tough. though i had 2 pieces the next day & they were all good & tender.

poached chicken 白斩鸡

chicken as usual was good.

i added a bit of tumeric to make it look yellow. this what the hk chefs did for the 黄姜鸡 say at crystal jade kitchen.

poached chicken 白斩鸡

i deboned the chicken.

poached chicken 白斩鸡

& plated it for adding onto the curry chicken noodles.

fish cakes

& made fish cakes.

curry chicken soup

as shared earlier, i had 18 pieces of dry chilli (& 300ml coconut milk), so colour was good, but still not spicy so i will have to add chilli padi next time.

the soup was actually very tasty, but because there were not enough for the noodles, it became quite ordinary. this part need to manage & i will have to reduce noodles to 1/2 or 1/3 for serving in future. it is difficult for me to make more soup.

curry chicken noodles 

it was not really a bad noodles.

curry chicken noodles

but i was not worth the effort, & boiling the bones of 3 chicken for like 15hrs over 2 days.

tea & cute mooncake

my friends brought many things.

especially the homemade “better than outside” durian mooncake…one friend brought back for his wife daughter, the rest start announcing father, mother, son…

one brought 2 pomelos & very nice spanish melo (from australia??).

one brought nice peach.

one brought wine.

another brought orange juice.

& another the tea & cutie mooncake (above photo).

we had karaoke afterwards just connecting the pc youtube to tv. had lots of fun.

curry chicken noodles not to my satisfaction, but overall still great fun to get together with good friends & primary school classmates of 51 years from OPS.

3tapas=chicken drumlets,pork ribs,mussel pot 

another unsuccessful attempt to have frog porridge at G7 sinma this evening.

no parking lots, lots of cars.

running out ideas where to go for light makan, then remembered i have groupon vouchers. so called up & got an outside table for 2pax at sixty40 @ rochester mall on 16.9.2016. ^^.

ballantine whisky and white wine 

groupon voucher for 2pax entitled us to 2 alcoholic drinks, but not cocktails.

i got a ballantine whisky & wife got a white wine. both are lousy, quite expected for the groupon price la.

sixty40 @ rochester mall

sixty40 @ rochester mall 

place has nice ambience, both inside & outside.

there is life music wednesday to saturday.

it was more fun to sit outside.

chicken drumlets 

we ordered 3 tapas for the applicable menu.

chicken drumlets were good, good flavour, wings still juicy, nice vinegar dip. we also asked for chilli.

mussel pot 

they had the cheap local mussels which was tough not so succulent.

but soup was great. so preparation ok good standard just the ingredients not the good mussels.

pork ribs 

pork ribs was excellent la! loved it! ^^

don’t know if i can make this pork ribs. i think louisiana. pork rib was tender & very tasty, smokey flavours.

not sure if it was just marinade or because of using a smoker or bbq. i can experiment the marinade & recipes but not do the smoking.

S$29.90 groupon voucher for 2pax=3tapas + 2alcoholic drinks 

groupon deal was quite genuine = S$19.90 for 3 tapas, which would have cost up to S$40++.

what i bought included 2 drinks for S$10 more at S$29.90. & we had the whisky & white wine at S$12 & S$11 outside happy hours (we were at at 8.45pm).

the deal expired now but guess it will come back. won’t mind having it again.

dart boards @ sixty40 

they have dart boards inside. some people were playing.

sixty40 @ rochester mall 

sixty40 @ rochester mall 

& nice ambience at the tables outside.

bar food not exactly my most preferred. but i quite enjoyed this evening. good tasty food with wonderful ambience.

S$4 ah hoe bak chor mee on 16.9.2016

after the community breakfast at PPH teban gardens community service centre, my OPS primary school classmate & i adjourned to ah hoe mee pok at blk 710 clementi west street 2 on 16.9.2016. ^^

was looking forward to this, especially after the below par, actually quite disappointing seng kee bak chor mee at serangoon gardens yesterday!

2pax queue ahead at 10.30am @ ah hoe bak chor mee on 16.9.2016

we arrived about 10.30am. there is not much queue, just 2 pax before us.

we ordered a S$4 mee pok each (the no. 2 bak chor mee style, they also sell the no. 1 fish ball noodles style)

S$4 ah hoe bak chor mee on 16.9.2016

this my 4th time here, the last time was on 3.2.2016, and it was good every time, today included! ^^

S$4 ah hoe bak chor mee on 16.9.2016

there’s lots of ingredients for S$4, lots of minced pork, sliced pork. pork balls, mushrooms etc & not too much mee pok, just perfecto for me la…

the mee pok was qq, quite perfect (unlike the quite unacceptable soggy mee pok i had at seng kee yesterday).

the chilli sauce over taste was very good, just not spicy enuf, not enuf kick for me,i took some chilli paste from them but that was not enuf, so i added a bit of chilli padi without the fish sauce. they also have the garlic sauce like what they used for ramen in japan, but i quite ok without that.

they served a chashu men japanese ramen style (S$6/S$7) on weekends only. maybe i will come & try that 1 weekend.🙂

braised pork trotters (ter kah) @ ah hoe bak chor mee on 16.9.2016

today i tried the ter kah braised pork trotters.

the skin gelatinous part texture ok. the mushroom sauce taste not my preferred style.

braised pork trotters (ter kah) @ ah hoe bak chor mee on 16.9.2016

i liked both the common styles the lor 鲁 type seved in most bakuteh & other trotter stalls, and also the vinegared trotters. both are more “pang”. this one the sauce is just the similar mushroom sauce for the bakchormee. & i feel the texture of the lean part is not as good.

S$4 seng kee 胜记bak chor mee

went with a good RI friend for bak chor mee at seng kee 胜记at serangoon gardens food centre on 15.9.2016. ^^

long queue @ seng kee 胜记bak chor mee

this supposed to be the famous  stall at eunos then changi road before relocating to serangoon gardens. & the stall holder used to be known for clanging his ladle on a plate when he cooked his noodles.

long queue @ seng kee 胜记bak chor mee

it was almost 12pm, & there was a queue of about 8pax ahead of us, though when we collected our bak chor mee, there was only 1 person behind us.

seng kee 胜记bak chor mee

queue was maybe 15mins. we ordered a S$4 bowl dry mee kia. the chilli looked potent & great.

however after all these build up, the results was much below expectations la….

S$4 seng kee 胜记bak chor mee soup

today the soup was quite tasty….

surprisingly i forgot to check my own blog post that i made 2 years ago on 19.11.2014.

i said in the post then –

“that should have been promising, however the results were very disappointing. i would say the bakchormee was totally mediocre, can probably get better from any coffeeshop or hawker centre.

for us, the main failure was the chilli. i went to ask for more chilli. chilli looked potent but it had no taste no kick. my wife’s mee kia (thin noodles) was still qq, my meepok was becoming soggy.

the ingredients were quite good, with teepor (dried flatfish/sole) & her kilo (fish dumplings), mushroom sauce, liver, lean meat etc”.

==========================

and today i said on my FB-

Long queue…..

Quite surprise noodles soggy not qq …I thot any body can make qq noodles nowadays???

not really poor but definitely below expectations….soup good got tipor taste…good ingredients but chilli mushroom sauce oso not super… 

S$4 seng kee 胜记bak chor mee

2 times over a 2 year gap the same mediocre experience quite enuf for me. don’t think i want to try this bak chor mee again.
