haha! i really suaku, never really got to know indian rojak…don’t know how many times i have actually taken them, probably like 30, 40yrs ago? alamak!

anyway my RI friends arranged a indian rojak session & 7 of us descended on ayer rajah food centre on 25.2.2016. ^^

we ordered from both stalls 73 & 68.

it’s really nice. i liked it very much! 🙂

it was not so different from the chinese ngoh hiang, which i had recently at kim san leng bishan.

comparing, i actually liked the indian rojak better, the dipping sauce was better, more spicy, tasty, less gluey. but both were good!

& in the case of sicc bukit cafe the dipping sauce for the ngoh hiang was an artificial pink colour.

one friend had always preferred stall 68. for this time we had the opportunity to compare.

both plates were about S$22.50.

the one from stall 68 (top) looked like about 3/4 the size/amount of the one from stall 73 (below).

plus stall 73 order included squid, and it was a large squid so that would be quite expensive, may like S$8?

taste-wise a bit more difficult to tell apart, but overall i would go for stall 73, more bang ofr the bucks la…

we had the S$4 ikan bilis bee hoon from stall 74.

it was just plain bee hoon but the addition of just ikan bilis made it very tasty. not a bad side dish after the indian rojak.

but my, indian rojak was nice! ^^

Good Lunch but Quite Ex @ Kim San Leng Bishan on 3Mar2016

late lunch @ kim san leng

late lunch @ kim san leng

went with 2 close friends to watch stephen chow’s mermaid at GV Bishan yesterday on 3.3.2016.

maybe it was a lightweight movie. a friend & i talked over whatsapp whether to watch spotlight (best picture oscar) or revenant ( leonardo dicarpio best actor oscar) at shaw lido & decided that we would have a light-hearted relax show this time. 🙂

i quite enjoyed the show. for me it was not slapstick, quite respectable in fact, & nothing so irreverent as kungfu hustle. i not much into stephen chow’s show like 1 of my friends, but kungfu hustle i like actually. 🙂

after the show we walked over to kim san leng food centre.

it’s a coffeeshop, and a huge success story. the guy pulled in the good hawker stalls, so it’s crowded, good traffic even though its along the food & away from junction 8. 🙂

i like this place & the food, though they are not cheap.

ngoh hiang

S$7.50 ngoh hiang

the ngoh hiang was pretty good. 🙂

4 items for S$7.50.

well, sicc’s bukit cafe S$9.50 ngoh hiang (6 items) pretty good too, maybe the sauce better than bukit cafe.

c/w the S$22 indian rojak at ayer rajah food centre (which was excellent), price also ok. i like the indian rojak a lot better though. 🙂

braised duck & kueh chap

yu kee’s S$10 braised duck & S$3 kueh chap

yu kee’s braised duck was good too. i don’t eat this often these days but this was good – flavourful, smooth, not tough.

S$10 for quarter duck with drumstick i guess not that ex too.

kueh chap

the S$3 kueh chap very tiny plate, but also quite tasty. what can you buy with S$3 these days?

chicken rice & veg

bugis street ming kee S$11 chicken rice & S$6 veg

my friend queued up to buy a S$11 plate chicken from the bugis street ming kee chicken rice. he could not recall the price of the beg, which i guess was S$6. we had 2 rice to share among 3.

chicken was good, but nothing special for me really. no much different from xin ji 新记chicken rice at mei ling food centre.

overall the lunch would come to about S$38 for 3, that should be consider ex. maybe we just ate too much…lol! ^^

i like the duck best, chicken & ngoh hiang a toss up. but chicken have to queue so i guess ngoh for my choice. haha! 🙂
