fried cabbage with tanhoon, taupok and ikan bilis

another dish that got me going was the cabbage with tanhoon dish at ye shanghai.

so I decided to cook my own cabbage tanhoon dish.

ye shanghai’s fried cabbage with tanhoon & cloud fungus 

ye shanghai’s cabbage very sweet & had some tan hoon & cloud fungus & fried with ikan bilis, very sweet & tasty dish.

fried cabbage with tanhoon, taupok and ikan bilis

my own cabbage dish also turned out excellent this evening on 7.4.2017.

I fried the ikan bilis & cut chilli padi till fragrant. then added the cabbage & chopped garlic.

then added 5 cut taupok ie bean curd skin (each square taupok I cut into 4 strips), added just 1/2 cup water & covered to reduce & cook/soften/infuse the taupok.

when almost done I added the glass noodles. I forgot to cut the glass noodles first, will do that next time before frying.

this was an excellent dish, the glass noodles & taupok were well infused, moist & sweet, tasty.

& so easy to do.

I did the 3 vegetable dishes & the chilled yellow croaker for my sis & daughter who joined us for 3pax dinner. fast & easy, & excellent dinner.

steamed pomfret & teochew muay dishes

my OPS friend bought 3pax lunch at choon seng teochew muay 春成潮州糜 today on 10.4.2017. ^^

he is Teochew & looks like been to more Teochew restaurants & zi char than me.

he was the one who introduce me to fragrant gardens last time,  an OPS Primay School Buddies 9pax Dinner @ Fragrant Garden on 30Dec2016.

very good food there, later I brought my family, brother & sis.

choon seng teochew muay 春成潮州糜

choon seng teochew muay 春成潮州糜 is a place I passed by previously when going for wah kee bigh prawn noodles.

choon seng teochew muay 春成潮州糜

I had definitely taken coffee at this coffeeshop but don’t remember eating teochew muay at choon seng teochew muay 春成潮州糜.

steamed pomfret

friend ordered steamed pomfret.

teochew steamed pomfret

it was good, a good standard teochew pomfret with all the salted veg, plums, pig fat strips etc..

soup was tasty, and fish was tender & sweet. very competent, eaxactly what this dish should taste like.

braised belly pork

braised belly pork was pedestrian. no special flavour, not really “pang” – fragrant, some parts very fatty – all fat actually.

famous hae nerng- prawn pancake

the hae nerng is their popular dish here for a reason.

it was very good I guess. though I don’t have any special preference for this dish. but it’s a famous dish here so should try it at least for the first time.

my friend said cannot order more also…they restrict you to 1 piece for 1pax.

teochew fish cake

teochew fish cake was ok. dryer preparation than usual teochew fish cake.

not much different for me, both preparation.

fried spinach

spinach was ok, fried with ikan bilis.

3pax lunch was like S$80, so pomfret must be like S$50.

these days all these places are expensive.

just like the very nice & expensive nonya steamed shark’s cartilage I had at zai shun zi char recently, also a OPS friend bought me lunch. 🙂

we 3 had a good chat & a very enjoyable lunch. my friend who treated us was relaxing before returning to his office battleground (for today only), the usual corporate politics.

xing ji bakchormee 兴记肉搓面

went with 3 RI friends to fengshan market on 9.4.2017.

this the second time I havingxing ji bakchormee 兴记肉搓面 (& with the same group of friends), the famous soupy bakchormee which won the SPH inaugural hawker master award 2011.

my first time was actually almost 3years ago on  13.7.2014 when I checked, din realise it’s so long ago, must take this more often la…

xingjibakchormee

the noodles still good, though we thought somehow it was not as good as we expected, though it was difficult for me to really recall the taste from 3 years ago.

the soup & generous minced pork serving still good, and I thought I t was less 清 today, the noodles looked quite the same when I looked at previous photos. it was still al dente & stringy, somehow seemed less of an impression.

anyway still a nice enjoyable light nourishing bowl of goodness. but I probably prefer the regular bakchormee, like the jalan tua kong meepork tar near my place.

xingjibakchormee

maybe I will also try the neighbour stall next time to compare. & talking about this there was a soup bakchormee stall at sin min road corner coffeeshop wife & I used to go 30yrs+ ago, maybe I should try that too if it is still there….

fengshan food centre stalls

good crowd & traffic at 6.30pm+

fengshan food centre stalls

& many stalls looking good, so I should be coming here again..

chong pang chicken wings

we had some bbq chicken wings. my friend ordered it. he later told me it was NOT from this chong pang stall.

bbq chicken wings

chicken wings were good – tasty, charred not burnt or overcooked/tough.

bbq chicken wings

chicken was good too. and a bit of lime did the trick.

otah

friend ordered 8 otah for 4pax.

otah

nice otah too…not my favourite food, so I took one.

ngor hiang – S$6

I decided to add some ngor hiang.

picked 4 items for $6 – the crispy thing, fish cake, a ngor hiang & a you cha kuay.

ngorhiang

I liked all of them. fish balls were tasty, ngor hiang great skin & tasty, tender fillings. you char kuay was good & the crispy thing was the best!

eastern anchorage & ECP night view

afterwards we went to our friend’s condo & had a fun AV evening.

eastern anchorage & ECP night view
