Was at tradehub 21 to retrieve my MacBook, walked around and couldn't find any bcm. I decided to have some mini wok instead! I asked the uncle casually, "do you sell Bak chor mee?". He said he don't but he can improvise! So he cooked me this not on the menu Bak chor Maggie mee with Ikan Bilis and meatballs, chili was pretty good too! (Served on a mini wok😂)
This is called 生煎包 in Chinese, the bottom part of the bun is fried crispy and in those buns, sweet savory juices can be found! As the name says, "Buns that cannot be bitten", I didn't take it seriously and gave it a big bite! The consequence was the juice oozing out at a high speed dirtying my clothes! I would strongly recommend the ones with the shrimps inside as they are much more nicer with the seafood taste mixed in!
I love that this tiny Thai Boat Noodles eatery, located at B1-08 of Golden Mile Complex, offers you choices for noodles, meats and soups. It's lots of fun to mix and match them to discover how each combination tastes. Based on my experience eating three completely different permutations, I can conclude they are all lip-smackingly delicious in spite of their mini size! 😋
To order, your first step is to select from silky-soft kway teow, beehoon or glass noodles (the kind used to fry "pad thai"). Next you take your pick of meats from fresh beef, braised beef (this is superb), beef liver, meatball, fresh pork, pork liver and pork ball. You can have a mix of up to three as long as they're from the same meat family. Last comes the soup of which they have three types: a Special Soup (made from beef and pork), Tom Yam and a clear one. If preferred, you can always opt to have your noodles "dry" instead. The waitress then checks if you want your noodles spicy or not. I recommend that you go for the former if you can handle chilli because theirs is really fragrant and potent.
In the corner of the shop sits a neat arrangement of raw beansprouts and a type of green Thai vegetable that you can help yourself to. What a cool way to add a refreshing crunch to the noodles.
Apart from the mini bowls, the noodles also come in bigger/normal portions that cost about $5 each. A small selection of other dishes such as stewed pork trotters and grilled meatballs are also listed in the menu.
A sneak peek to my next few posts on this special restaurant chain in China! Originated in Hangzhou, this restaurant offers most of its food in combination with green tea and it was a hit in China and hence it can be found in many major Chinese cities!
Right beside clementi mall's coffe shop. At $3, the amount of noodles, fishballs and fishcakes that were given, made this meal quite a steal! Noodles were al dente (surprised!) and chili was pretty good too!
Normally sold out by 11am. But it wasn't especially nice for me..
Those tiny bits of minced pork is something I crave for every time I return to Singapore!
The tart was especially crispy and I particularly liked it. The tart has its own unique taste to it and differentiates it from others!
Handmade on the spot, is a cold dish, a local specialty from the island. Pretty delicious and the mangoes are quite sweet too!
Delicious and generous serving!
A little salty, most of these seafood are sold near the pier of this island and quality can vary. Pick one restaurant that suits your own budget and enjoy the night of seafood!
