Teo Chew Bak Ku Teh, Malacca

Hihi I am back from my Malacca trip and I also gained an extra kg back :P Why is this so? Well, we discovered this amazing Bak Ku Teh stall while we  were sending our friends to their hotel. This Teo Chew Bak Ku Teh is located at a corner just opposite Beuford Hotel. It is quite crowded during the lunch time but luckily, we managed to find a table.

We ordered the Bak Ku Teh with mixed pig organ and a small serving of the Braised Pork Leg and also a pot of chinese 'Pu Er' tea to share. Their Bak Ku Teh and the Braised Pork Leg are serve in individual claypots. From what I know, there are 2 types of Bak Ku Teh, the former being the pepperish type and the latter the herbal type, as for here they serve the herbal type. If you are craving that not too strong and not too light just perfect herbal taste, this place is a definite must try. The Braised Pork Leg is very tender and melts in your mouth. However their 'Yu Tiao' is very dry and hard so do soak it in the soup before eating it. A highlight of this place is they serve Yam rice but you can opt for white rice if you don't like it. The total bill came up to $61RM which I shared amongst the 4 of us. Pretty reasonable and cheap if I may say.

I had a very satisfying and happy lunch :D  Special thanks to my brother for all the nice photo taken.

Sembawang White Bee Hoon 白米粉

I had always been curious and puzzled about their bee hoon each time I pass by this zhe char stall. And finally I tried it t last night. This coffeeshop is located at the corner opposite Sembawang Shopping Centre. We ordered a small serving ($4) of their signature dish White Bee Hoon and a small plate of Indon Style Fried Chicken Wing.

After a wait of 15min our Bee Hoon finally arrived. Upon first glance, the beehoon does resemble a plate of hokkien mee. Perhaps it was due to the garnishing of lime, squid and prawns covered in a thick white gravy. The bee hoon is very smooth and the gravy in the bee hoon really makes it taste yummylicious. I am amazed by the preparation of the bee hoon which was very good as it didn't break. The Indon Fried Chicken Wing was very juicy and tender I will order this again when I come back here for their bee hoon. Thumbs up for their bee hoon I will definitely recommend this place to everyone :P

Men-ichi Kyoto Tonkotsu Ramen @ Northpoint

I always happen to walked pass this small ramen restaurant in Northpoint Shopping Centre but I never went to try it due to the long queue during dinner time. I decided to give it a try but I went before dinner time to avoid the long wait. Looking at their menu they don't really have much variety of Ramen. They also have a few kinds of sushi and side dishes for you to choose from. I order the Teriyaki Ramen, Unagi sushi and my favourite Salmon Skin.

They had given me Salmon Ramen which is not what I order, I only notice it after I had a bite on the meat. I called the staff to tell them but he insist that I order the Salmon Ramen and show me the order that he took from me. I guess he is not happy about it because I inform him after I had ate half a bowl of the ramen. Then he came to me again and said he can change the order for me but I rejected. I am kinda of upset by their service already and I told him I am almost full so I don't see the point of getting another bowl of ramen. After I pay my bill I feedback to their manager telling her that the staff should repeat the customer order. Hopefully they will take my feedback seriously and don't allow mistake to happen again.

The salmon skin was crispy and nice and their sushi was fresh and not soggy. The food here was not too bad but too bad I will not come back to this place again for what had happen.

Hong Kong trip 2010

I just came back not long ago from my Hong Kong trip. I am a person who simply can't resist when I see food but it was kinda of sad that I didn't manage to try alot of food when I was there, not because I am busy shopping but I went with a wrong group of people. I don't want to think about it again :(
This coming national day I will be heading to Malacca, I am definitely not going to miss out the food again. Stay tune to the updates of my Malacca trip :P

Here's what I had during my Hong Kong 2010

Da Jia Le
Is like their popular eateries place, it seems like every where you go you will definitely spot one outlet. Eating in Hong Kong is not very cheap but the price at Da Jia Le is very affordable each set meal is around $7SG and they are open quite early for breakfast too.

















Street food at Fa Yuen Street
Plenty of street food for you to choose from. Their famous street food I guess is their Curry Fish Ball and Smelly Beancurd. I tried both, the Smelly Beancurd dosen't taste good it is quite oily and not crispy. As for the Curry Fish Ball the chilli sauce in it is very spicy and shiok but I didn't taste any curry, the fish ball is very hard unlike those we ate in SG.



























We went to Modern Toilet Restaurant. The decoration of the restaurant is very special and unique they also have a branches in Taiwan. Friends told me that the food they tried in Taiwan outlet was not nice but the food here in Hong Kong outlet was not bad. All the food and drinks are serve in toliet bowl and you will be sitting on the toilet bowl and eat. We took quite alot of photos and I never expected that the restaurant was quite crowed during dinner time.





























Japanese Pork Cutlet with brown rice














Tuna Spaghetti














Chocolate Ice Cream


















The Milk Tea is very nice


















Fruit Tea

(Zheng) Swee Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice

Had my lunch with my colleague at Zheng Swee Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice. Looking thru their menu I would say their food are somewhat costly. A plate of Kampung Chicken Rice cost $5 and their side dishes are mostly from $6 onwards. We decided to order the set meal for 3 person that include a plate of vegetable, pork chop, thai style fried tofu and 1/4 roasted hainanese chicken with 3 plates of chicken rice.

1. The roasted chicken is very tender, fragrant and not too fatty and oily for my liking, I guess that is what all girls will prefer :p Oh don't forget to dip with the chilli sauce that is something not to be miss when having chicken rice.

2. Chicken rice, as for this there is nothing to shout about, I just find the rice is not fragrant enough, the best part is that the rice is not too oily.

3.Pork Chop, I like this dish, the sweet tangy sauce that goes with the tender and crispy Pork Chop taste very yummylicious :P

4. Thai style fried Tofu, the soft and crispy tofu with the sweet and spicy thai style sauce is very nice too. I guess is the sauce that works the trick :P

5. Vegetable which serve with 'hor fun' sauce sounds weird and it taste weird too.





















































































Total bill is around $28 for the above which I feel is quite worth it. But than again they are not the best chicken rice I ever try so I will keep looking around and update my blog again :D

Taste of Thailand (Previously located at Sembawang Shopping)

Hi, I am back, after my holiday after my computer crash. Suddenly craving for Taste of Thailand the cheapest 'Zhi Char' that I had eaten. Not just because of the price of the food, the taste was quite nice too. For the price you pay is definitely worth it. The dinner crowd on weekend is quite pack but not to worry they will take your order first and once you are seated the food will be serve within 10 minutes.

They are previously located at Sembawang Shopping Centre after the shopping centre was renovated they shifted to Yishun Industrial Park and another outlet is located at Blk 710A Yishun Ring Road. The variety of food here is not much and is mainly a mixed of Thai and Chinese food. Their specialist dish is their Pineapple Rice and the Fried Fish that goes with their sauce. And not forgetting their friendly and good services they provided.  Here the food I usually order...














Tom Yum Seafood Soup ($3) which don't really taste that spicy at all














Pineapple Fried Rice ($5) they have 3 different serving














The Fried Fish ($12 and $15) fresh and fragrant, don't forget to dip with their sauce














Garlic Chicken ($6) sweet and tender














French Bean ($6) crunchy and nice

Dim Do Restaurant

Head to JB to do some groceries shopping and dinner. We decided on Dim Do restaurant, this restaurant can be easily spot as they have a big crab on their sign board. It is directly opposite 'The Store' at sentosa, try to reach slightly earlier if you are coming here for dinner as to get a parking lot if you are driving in. They open till 4.30am so for those craving for seafood for late night supper may consider driving in.

We order some of their grill food to try. Their chicken wing, cheese hotdog and squid. They have a few other variety for you to choose from. The rest will be 3 Cereal Crayfish, 2 Chilli Crab, Fried Milky Bun to go with the Chilli Crab sauce, Cheesy Prawn, Pork Rib King and Dou Miao. Their signature dish is their Salted Egg Crab but after trying this dish a few times at other places I kinda of give up on this dish so we decided to try their Chill Crab instead.















Dim Do Restaurant















Their menu















The grill chicken wing is quite nice, try to go with their sauce is really spicy and nice too















Pork Rib King - Is a pity that they did not marinate the meat to make it tender if not this dish would be nice















Cereal Crayfish - This can consider one of my favorite dishes among the rest. The cereal is well coated to the crayfish is crispy and taste really buttery and fragrant, thumbs up for this dish
















Chill Crab - Not too spicy just nice for my liking. Crab meat is very fresh and you can really expect a lot of meat not like those pathetic tiny crab
















Fried Milky Mantou - To go with the Chill Crab sauce














Cheesy Prawn - I can't taste any cheese but the prawn is also very fresh and succulent the shell can be easily peel off too














Dou Miao
