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! 🙂
