This was actually quite good.

Starting off with the beef rendang. Thick gravy. Beef was tender and melty. You can taste the various spices that goes into it without an over powering coconut finish. Sambal eggplant was soft but not to the extent of being soggy. Sambal was subtlety spicy and a hint of natural sweetness. The chicken lemak bears a creamy umami aftertone. Very mild heat. Okra or ladies fingers, fibrous and to some it might be undercooked. I liked it for its chewy bite, not too slimy. Besides this contain antioxidants which help to reduce cholesterol.

Quite an enjoyable lunch but slightly heavy on the wallet. This eatery is small and tables are close to each other. So expect a tight squeeze.

Soba in a chilled umami broth with an eggwhite foam on top. Comes in a beer glass to imitate actual glass of beer. The soba is alittle firm texturally. Here you are suppose to drink it, slurp it exactly like when you drink beer. But it is best to eat the soba using chopsticks because each strand is quite long. It comes with sides, tori karaage, kaisen tofu and tempura.

The set costs $22.90++ and limited portions are prepared each day. Interesting presentation and it is worth a try. Kanpai!!

Ignited my curious palate.

It is called "Red Birdie Noodle". Not any kind of noodle. The noodle itself is Hiyamugi noodle (made from wheat flour) and it is caught in between somen and soba. Very nice firm bite textures. Came with a teeny platter consisting of spring onions, roasted peanuts and pickled radish or what we call "chye poh". Tossed in a mala sauce. The finish was not overpowering spicy, just right kind of heat which is suitable for those who cant take too hot. Garnished with slices of chicken breasts, cooked to perfection. Tender and still moist. Overall, it had spicy undertones, nutty and earthy mouthfeel.

Hang on, let me share about my bowl of noodles.
鈼解椌
In an inconspicuous coffeeshop at Jalan Tua Kong. Many will flock there to eat this. The texture of the meepok had a springy bite. Bits and pieces of minced pork were just heavenly. A balance of seasonings, not too salty and not too vinegary.

That brings me back to my first question. I am a "spicy" fan. Finally, me, myself and I can safely say, this bowl of dry bak chor mee had the #epitome of chilli. It is hot, hot, hot. And it made me drop a tear or two. Too much of it gives you the numbing feel. Too little of it gives you the tingle. So wootz, in true sense of the saying, "less is indeed more". #noodleholics #lunch #hungrygowhere #sgig #burpple #8dayseat #bloggers #instafoodsg #instagood #nomnom #spicyhot #singaporeinsiders #delish #photooftheday #photographers #bestfoodphoto #foodphotography #eatoutsg #tagsforlikes #jiaklocal #tastesocietysg #sgheritagefood
It literally means "touch the heart". Presented in bite sized portions, it is suitable for communal dining.

We met early to go for a dim sum breakfast @swatowsg ... established since 2010. Very homestyle with a bit of an old school feel. No fuss no muss foods like the har gow, siew mai, chee cheong fun etc. Accompanied by a pot of pu er over a burner.

This is actually one of the rare places with push carts but only available during weekends. The place looks slightly rundown but it still does have a certain charm. Actually it was quite pleasant to visit restaurants, especially this outlet at Toa Payoh, that withstood the changing times and not being influenced by evolving trends.

Can you guess out of these dimsum, which is my favorite?? #dimsum #lunchwithfriends #burpple #hungrygowhere #8dayseat #instagood #instafoodsg #photooftheday #photographers #foodphotography #bestfoodphoto #singaporeinsiders #tagsforlikes #eatoutsg #tastesocietysg #dimsumlovers #swatowsg
Tender, fall off the bones. Noodles texturally springy. The sauce was sweet and savory with a tinge of sesame oil. Quite addictively good.

Cook crabs, of course.

It has been a long while since I cooked my chilli crabs. Using flower crabs because of its natural sweetness. I did not make it too spicy as I want all the flavors to be more balanced. Yeah yeah.... great gravy for my steaming white fluffy rice. It was a yummy gravy, if I should say so myself.

A day when I am too lazy to think of where to go, where to eat.

Just after morning mass, a skip, hop and jump across the road, I am at one of my favorite haunts. Not to bore you writing about this timeless kopitiam, but I am so impressed with the fast service, good food and the warm smiles from the folks there. To be honest, before I came here, I went to another eatery, found myself a table, waited and waited. No menu, no staff so I walked out.
鈼解椌
And here I am, enjoying my mee to the max.

My small platter of char siew with a separate order of fragrant rice. The char siew had a nice caramelization. Crisp on the edges and perhaps atad sticky and gooey. Without a doubt, it was fatty and melty. The thick sauce provided separately was alittle sweet for me. However, I prefer my rice to be slightly softer. The chilli sauce had a nice spicy kick with some tangyness. A welcomed element to tone down the sweetness.
鈼解椌
Considering their location in town, expect to pay slightly more.

And the buzz was on the person behind the hot stove whipping up the noodles. So yeah.... he is at it but at a brand new location.
鈼解椌
Just opened at Lorong Telok, near to Boat Quay. It is a shophouse, fully aircon with a cashier to take your orders, given a buzzing number disc to notify you when food is ready. See here.... nicer bowls and golden chopsticks.

So does the noodles still taste the same as at Amoy? I had a chance to speak to Gilbert, the goodlooking owner. He said the cooking, right down to the chilli sauce, is handled by him to maintain the same standard. I have had this at Amoy many times and somehow felt that there was a slight difference in terms of texture of noodles and seasoning. The soup was the same. I actually liked the soup more. But this is just my tastebuds, perhaps others might beg to differ.
鈼解椌
The cost is slightly more, with the smallest bowl going at $6. If you are nearby, it is worth a try. It is still a bowl of comfort food. And yes, Gilbert will be there permanently.

Latest concept by Keisuke Takeda, the man behind Ramen Champion, Lobster ramen Clark Quay, Tori King, just to name afew. On the menu, there are only two items, the Beef Sukiyaki Don $13.90 ( US prime beef) and Kiwami Wagyu Sukiyaki Don (Yonezawa Beef A4) $25, which is one of the finest grade from Japan.
鈼解椌
Together with the rice, it comes with a miso soup, an onsen egg which came separately, sesame beancurd and free flow of pickles by the side. Generous portion of rice. Below all that glorious wagyu which was cooked ala minute right infront of you, lies a big piece of beancurd and cabbage. Tare sauce served separately for you to do your own pour. Drizzle with caution as it is quite sweet. Miso soup, prepared from two miso paste, fish powder and kelp, was rich and slurpworthy. Probably one of the best I have had.

Located at the relatively new building, Onze at Tanjong Pagar, the restaurant sits maximum 14 pax, counter seats. The restaurant opens next Monday, 24th Sept.
