teochew chendul

after shoon huat bakuteh & ya wang 鸭皇 early dinner, we walked to the store at taman sentosa.

nothing much to see there so we made our way back to city square in 3 taxis.

one friend wanted to eat bbq cuttlefish….seriously!!

anyhow we walked out of city square & through an interesting market street lane spanning jln siu chin & crossing over jln siu nam. on one side is a malay night market. scross jln siu nam is a chinese night market. some stalls though were exactly the same, basically selling bbq seafood like similar stalls in singapore notably say at newton hawker centre, lau pasat, makasutra gluttons bay etc…

wrong place la…no rojak stalls & grilled taupok, so no grilled cuttlefish…

we trooped back to city square…what else to do but to eat again?

teochew chendul

we found this teochew chendul shop in city square.

look genuine. 🙂

teochew chendul

& the chendul was good, thick coconut milk, flavourful gula melaka, and got kidney beans!!!

teochew chendul

very enjoyable!

but i felt that it was not as good as four seasons chendl at toa payoh lor 8 food centre.

Four Seasons GCT Chendul

so when i got back to singapore i went to try the GCT chendul again. & indeed that was even more flavourful & intense!

ya wang 鸭皇 roast duck

like our last JB trip 1 month ago, we bought roast duck from ya wang 鸭皇 across the street opposite restoran shoon huat & ate it with the bakuteh. ^^

ya wang 鸭皇 roast duck

this time though we were there about 4pm+ and there were only 2 halves of roast duck left.

the last time we  had the 十全flavours, this time it was 当归 &人参.

so we managed to get what we could.

however 2 friends wanted to ta pao to bring back to singapore. so we asked again, & actually they had new roast duck ready in 5 – 10mins. but still no 十全flavours.

ya wang 鸭皇 roast duck

roast duck flavours were still very nice. “pang”…& it’s like RM65 for a whole duck so almost 1/2 price c/w singapore.

somehow this time the duck felt a bit dry, not as moist & juicy as last.

psychological becos only 2 halves left??

but probably true also, leftovers probably not the best pieces.

duck was good, maybe not really fantastic..

i guess better than singapore hawker ducks, though those in restaurants like –

1. canton paradise,
2. tunglok singature,
3. xin cuisine

here are all very good.

now especially with the fatty london duck (using irish duck).

somehow i felt the london ducks in london were still the best, the ones we ate at-

1. goldmine &
2. four seasons

in london….

 Ya Wang 鸭皇 @ Taman Sentosa

shoon huat bakuteh

after loading up 22 packets of ming ang ma tie soh 马蹄酥+ some tau sa pia, we decided not to flag taxis but to make a 20mins walk to taman sentosa.

weather was hot but oddly it was quite good to walk rather than get squeezed in a taxi & maybe stucked in jam, but probably no jam at the hour.

anyway we ate too much so walking is always good…

shoon huat bakuteh

we came shoon huat the last time.

ya wang 鸭皇 was directly opposite across the road.

we ta pao the a whole roast duck fromya wang 鸭皇 last time & we did the same this time. ^^

shoon huat bakuteh

we ordered 2 pot of bakuteh, 1 sesame chicken & another chicken (oyster sauce??), you char kueh 油条 & fried veg.

shoon huat bakuteh

the bakuteh soup was very good here. the soya bean tau kee added to the sweetness of the soup.

shoon huat bakuteh

it’s a very nice soup for me even trying it the second time.

i like our singapore bakuteh as well, like from-

• rong cheng bakuteh or
• ng ah sio bakuteh or
• song fa bakuteh

or

• my own bakuteh

it’s different & both are nice…shoon huat version very tasty as a dish/soup though i don’t equate specifically with my familiar bakuteh taste.

shoon huat bakuteh

this time the pork ribs were not as good as what we had last time, about 1 month ago. soup just as good.

claypot chicken

claypot chicken

we had both preparation of claypot chicken.

claypot sesame chicken

claypot sesame chicken

both were nice. i liked the sesame chicken better.

fried veg

fried veg

we had some fried veg. it was nice ok nothing special, no special wok hae bascially a blanched veg with loads of onion oil.

walloped all

there were 11 of us, so no problem we just walloped everything, including the roast duck. ^^

it was a fun time for us, even though it was just eating & eating. good friends, fellowship, sharing jokes etc. this our second time though eating about same food, still enjoying every bit.

maybe next trip have to look at some other eating places to try out la…
