Different seafood were put into different steam pots and stacked onto one steamboat stove. The result of that was having the flavors of the crabs, clams, shrimps and many more dripping back down to the steamboat broth. It was sweet and savory, the steamed seafood was also fresh and delicious. 2 pax set at 399 HKD. 4 pax 599 6 pax 799. Must eat for seafood lovers!
It was a make-your-own chirashi don at Hong Kong's supermarket named 一田. The sashimi felt really fresh and somehow the quality was much better than what Singapore's supermarkets can offer. Japanese food in Hong Kong feels really good. I wonder what would I feel when I finally get to Japan one day.
The whole place was exposed to yellow lighting as they wanted to create the Taiwanese classroom feel. Situated in kwun tong, a place full of industrial buildings, it was hidden in a corner where you need to walk through the heavy vehicles car park just to reach its doors to find it. The journey was worth it for the ambience and the service. However the food was pretty average and maybe I didn't order the right dish, as they had quite a large offering of Taiwanese food in its lengthy old school menu. A place worth visiting again when I get back to HK!
We had the strawberry and honey creme brûlée flavor during a promotion in the mtr station. The puff felt a little too oily and stiff. Wasn't a big fan of puffs but this was still okay. However at around 4 sgd during non promotional periods, this is a bit pricey for an "okay" puff
A friend of mine mentioned that this stall in our neighborhood was mentioned in the newspaper and I decided to give it a try. The noodles were really good as they were made on the spot and that the correct texture that what traditional la mien should have. However, the chicken chop was cold and the sauce in satisfying. Ended up only finishing up half of it. 6/10
15 HKD - the texture of this dish was just amazing. The Chee Chong Fun was soft and chewy while the fried doughs provider the crispy feel along with the sinful sesame sauce. A unique combination not found in Singapore, must eat again next time!
Amazingly delicious tortilla found in reedz cafe in school. Teriyaki chicken along with pineapple bits, compressed between two slices of roti prata-like flat pancake was a favorite food of my friend from the States and we were always disappointed when they have this item sold out after lunch time!
Situated opposite pasir panjang mrt station at a corner coffee shop was this unpretentious looking prawn Mee stall. With a long queue at 9am, I just can't help it to get myself a serving. Prawns were really fresh and its chilli is the sambal belechan kind and it really gives chilli lovers a kick and a shiok time. Sure to be back to try out their soup version!
At only $2.80. This new prawn mee stall's noodles were a steal. The soup/broth was so nice, I finished all of it. Sure to be back for its fresh shrimps and crunchy pork slices!
After procrastinating for a semester, I decided at 8am that I will just take a morning run to the Bak chor mee stall at west coast (running with a goal of shiok Bak chor mee in mind is really motivating). I finally found it at BLK 710 at the west coast area. This one opens from 630 onwards and they have a new branch just at BLK 713 at opens at 1130 onwards. I guess the demand was really too high. At 835 in the morning I still had to wait around 8 mins for my turn but the Japanese was already cooking two bowls at one go so it was still pretty fast (at least for me). Now, time for the bcm review. The mee pok was simply, awesome. So thin yet so firm, the noodles will be the main reason I will come back again. When I took a first look at the soup, it seemed pretty bland but it was actually flavorful (maybe still early hence the soup not "old" enough). The meat slices were tender and to my liking, everything felt fresh and tasty (maybe after a run I was too hungry). But surely I will eat this everyday if I live nearby, however it is simply too difficult to get to the place and the total time required to get your hands on this bowl of noodles is just too great for people not living in the west. Still, 9/10 ;)
Out of curiosity despite many of my friends discouragement to do it, I gave this infamous ex "therealsingapore" ramen a try. My fren who is a Japanese food lover found it so bad that he had to go back and give the owner his personal feedback on the ramen. As an average Singaporean, I would say that this ramen is still acceptable, meaning by just edible. At $5 one can't really expect much good quality but hey it is still ramen! The noodles are a little too springy, soup too salty and char siew a little hard to chew on. Well that was it, maybe my last time eating at this stall in school then!
