The Simple Life @ Wheelock Place

You know that getting a place to eat in Wheelock Place is mad during dinner time. However, there's this place called The Simple Life that's relatively empty.

Sis and I, tak boleh tahan, so hungry so we walked in here. If you see a long queue outside, it's for Fish & Co, and not for Simple Life. You can just walk past Fish & Co. and it's the shop that is inside.



My drink Bandung & Kiwi Seed. Interesting eh?



I had Rendang and Rice.



Sis had Bak Kut Teh. It comes also with rice and a super long 'you tiao'.





OK lah. You know somewhere to go on a weekend when every other place needs to queue!
Photos a bit dark, because the place is dark dark kind. haha...

Bak Kut Teh @ Balestier Road Coffee Shop

Wah! Someone actually got the quiz yesterday right! Must be a regular there I suppose :-)

Come to this stall if you like very peppery, or super peppery style. If you like more herbal style like me, you might want to give this a miss. haha... But it was still quite nice.

We were sitting beside the kettle of hot boiling water, so we were feeling hot! Then near to us is the stall holder preparing our food.



We had individual portions. Each one had a bowl of pork ribs and the soup is being refilled as we finish it up.



I love kiam chai, and this is the kiam chai that comes with it.



For others, "you tiao" is a must. So the person who says is a must ordered it. (psstt I only like you tiao in rojak! :-p )



We are decocratic when we go out to eat. Another colleague said, must eat with Pig's Trotter, so we also ordered a bowl of this to share.



So, do you and your colleague go around and eat? Do you order food like we do? Democratic decision?

Mei Chai Kou Rou @ Buona Vista.

One of my fav food is Mei Cai Kou Rou. Usually, you will expect dark not so soupy fat meat with more mei chai than kou rou.

Look at this version. Initially I thought the wrong order came. It has lots of meat and it is chunks instead of slices. It is also soupy, looks more like Bak Kut Teh right? The soup is not salty and the mei cai is below it.



I guess it must be the different dialect style cooking. I kind of like it. It's at the very packed coffee shop at the turning from Commonwealth Ave West to Holland Drive. It's $4.

Prima Taste @ Centrepoint (Part 2)

Some of you got it spot on! It's Rojak! I love the 'you tiao' inside it!



This is Bak Kut Teh, sorry picture a bit blur :-p It's the peppery type.



Mee Siam. This is what I had. The 'tau jiu' taste is very strong :-)



This is Satay Bee Hoon.



The Yong Tau Foo Laksa.



There you go, a few of the most well loved local food of Singapore, all in one place.

Hawker Food: Bak Kut Teh

It was last Saturday morning, I was hungry while viewing Food Blogs like Rasa Malaysia and Sim Cooks etc.. then a friend called, ey wanna go eat at Botak Jones at Clementi? But the queue was too long, so we ended up at a Kopitiam beside Clementi McDonalds. Here's what we ate.

Bak Kut Teh - $4


Kiam Chai (Salted Veg) - $1


It's not something very spectacular, but it's not bad lor. Can eat, wont "phwee" it out of your mouth kind. haha.

But it reminds me few years ago in Melb, we cooked Bak Kut Teh, our ang moh neighbours caught the smell, knock at our doors and ask, what are you cooking that smell so good? yes, we gave them part of our dinner.
