there is yellow beans provided on the side you can add yourself to the soup or ytf bowl.

all items, plus chilli & sweet sauce, nice, except kang kong/othe veg small servings.

have been eating more ytf recently-

  1. best for me = hillview ytf at meiling food centre.
  2. meixi’s kitchen yong tau foo 美茜酿豆腐 at commonwealth drive blk 115B also very good, more fried stuff, somewhat different items.
  3. a poor one at SGH kopitiam, &
  4. a real bad one, hakka yong tau foo at holland drive food centre.

this one here would be on par wiht meixi’s kitchen just somewhat different items.

going back a bit earlier, the best i had so far (partly because of the nice mined pork noodles) is at u hakka at circuit road food centre.

i am quite happy with jing house overall,

Gentle Braised Pork Belly 回锅肉with Celery – 25th Teban Gardens Community Breakfast on 6Jan2017

gentle braised pork belly 回锅肉with celery

it’s the start of new year 2017!

i did a gentle braised pork belly 回锅肉with celery for teban gardens community breakfast this morning on 6.1.2017. ^^

this my 25th friday breakfast community meal at teban gardens community service centre.

i first started doing a community meal dish for teban gardens CSC on 8.1.2016.

the centre was started in 2002 after much effort & challenge by our RI friend who is a pastor of pasir panjang hill brethren church (pphbc) which owns & runs the CSC.

it’s a gentle braise because it is done 5.5hrs in a 95degC oven, the belly pork covered with water in a sealed oven dish. 🙂

and it’s 回锅肉because after the braise & quite easy cutting (above photo), it was marinated with 1 tbsp cornflour, 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp shaoxing wine, & returned to the wokpan for quick searing.

totally tender, & very tasty.

& some may notice the brown colour pork pieces in the photos.

i was experimenting with using tai hwa braising sauce. so a smaller portion was done with braising sauce in oven dish in same 95degC oven for 5.5hrs (basically overnight while i slept soundly la!)….

in this case i do not sear it, so it was just kongbak final version.

for feedback, the teban centre director preferred the kongbak, very well infused 入味, she decided.

another lady prefer the 回锅肉 (i think slightly more tender as the marinade firmed up a bit the pork) but likes the kongbak gelatinous skin.

good feedback!

anyway now that i can just use tai hwa braising sauce, it becomes so easy to do a good kongbak, braised belly pork… 🙂

Early Birthday Lunch for my RI Running Buddy @ Tunglok Signatures Orchard Parade on 3Jan2017

siew yoke roast pork

siew yoke roast pork – S$12

had a nice lunch with my running buddy at tunglok signatures today on 3.1.2017. ^^

food here always nice, but parking is expensive, & now they refused to give free parking. so my friend piked me up & we went in one car. go green anyway!

the siew yoke – roast pork always good here. it’s amazing all these good restaurants, they can render out the fat layer almost completely, so it’s like a crispy skin plus fairly lean meat below! 🙂

lie tong 例汤with arrow roots

lie tong 例汤with arrow roots – 1/2 pot for S$16

i ordered the lie tong 例汤 everytime.

they are always good, and often better than many sharksfin soup la…

1/2 pot = S$16 serves 4 bowls, so good for 2-3pax.

today it’s arrowroots, still good but not the best. the best include 鸡骨草 & green papaya etc…

salted egg prawns & wasabi prawns

salted egg prawns & wasabi prawns – S$10

the prawns in 2 ways also my frequent order.

it looked nice, and came with a 2 large prawns – wasabi & salted egg, very well matched with a sweet water melon. today it was done very well. sometimes the deep-fry not light & just right.

salted egg prawns & wasabi prawns

salted egg prawns & wasabi prawns 

all these are 1 person portion. but really the meal would be too heavy if you order a few course, so we took 1 portion to share, and for my friend, for him to taste more dishes.

so shared by 2, still a very welcoming portion. 🙂

pepper sauce lamb rack

pepper sauce lamb rack – S$12

tunglok does one of the best chinese (maybe fusion??) lamb rack.

maybe all good chinese restaurants do that these days.

pepper sauce lamb rack

pepper sauce lamb rack – S$12

lamb was nicely medium rare, tender & no strong gamey taste, just like any western preparation.

& the pepper sauce was just nice, not overly stickly sweet, overpoweringly pepperish like they used to do in older time chinese restaurants.

fried kailan

fried kailan – S$18

this kailan must be among their worst dishes!

quite edible, but neither presentation, look nor taste belongs to the dish quality in this restaurant.

it’s more like from a quite mediocre zi char. most zi char will do better than this. & i would do too myself la…lol!^^

lobster noodles

lobster noodles – S$28

the lobster noodles here always good.

i order 1 portion each. the lobster steak was done very well, as always, very good grilled flavours & excellent bite texture.

the  yellow sauce was ok. today the dish came early while we were working on the kailan & we took it a bit later, so the yellow sauce not as great when cold. noodles remained al dente & good. 🙂

this the dish i emulated & rehashed 2+yrs back = king prawn noodles (黄焖大虾面)

noodles & sauce-wise, mine wasn’t too bad too. of course cannot compare with the lobster steak.
