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.

kim san leng food centre @ bishan

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. 🙂

kim san leng food centre @ bishan

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

S$7.50 ngoh hiang

the ngoh hiang was pretty good. 🙂

4 items for S$7.50.

ngoh hiang

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. 🙂

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

yu kee lor arh

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

braised duck

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?

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

bugis street ming kee chicken rice

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! 🙂
