Amoy Street Food Centre : Nasi Lemak

This is the super long queue nasi lemak stall at Amoy Street Food Centre. It's located upstairs and I am sure you won't miss it. The queue is forever so long.

Here's Amoy Street Sign. I finally took it! Colleague queued for me! haha.. I 'lompang' him to order since he is eating it too. (I was attending a course at British Council that's why we are eating here today)



The stall number is 02-81, at the 2nd floor.



Here it is.. One side of the plate, with chicken wing, a slice of luncheon meat, fish cake, sambal.



The other side, the fried anchovies, fish fillet, otah and the cucumber.



Definitely very filling and quite delicious too! $3.

Keng Eng Kee Seafood : Colleague's Back from Maternity Makan...

I work with a bunch of fabulous colleauges. Any occasion we can think of, we will "hey, that calls for a celebration, let's go eat".

Our dear colleague just came back from maternity leave, of course we go makan lah...
Some place not too far away, and definitely not too near. So we ended up here.



We ordered a 4 item cold dish.



Wanted something with "chai por" (pickled radish), so "lao ban niang" suggested this. Chai Por Tofu.



The happy mum wanted to eat Sweet and Sour Fish, so here it is.



Ordered also Marmite Chicken



The Duck Gang in our group wanted duck, so this is the sea cucumber and duck in claypot.



Of course must order veggies, so here it is.



Wonder, what's the next occasion for celebration. haha...

Lao Pa Sat : Satay ( Stall 7 - Best Satay)

Just came back from Lao Pa Sat after having supper there with some friends.

There are so maany satay stalls there, and we sat at the one call "Best Satay". There are others like Power Satay etc...

Here's a picture of it.. Yum.... Sorry lah, only got street lamps, so photos are a bit dark. We ordered 60 sticks of satay.



And the sauce came in like 10 little containers..



I am now so satisfied :-)
Anyone wanna guess, what else we ate?

Keng Eng Kee Seafood @ Alexandra Village (Series 2)

Our cousin from UK came over, so we went to this place to try out the other food here. It's the Kek Eng Kee Seafood place again, but this time we sat at the aircon place.

The 'cold plate'. It is quite interesting, the combi for this one. Starting from the right is the spicy squid. It's not the normal reddish jap kind. But dark soyish colour. There's meat balls made from diff combi of meat, in the middle, eggs with taugeh, and behind deep fried tauhu pok.


This is how the tau hoo pok looks close up. There's veg, ham, fake crab etc, all inside a piece of big big tau pok and deep fried with batter.


The scary fish yesterday. The scarier it is, the tastier it is? hahaha...


This is actually dark san lou hor fun. Usually it is whitish right? This one is dark and comes with 2 raw eggs on top. You mix it up, it taste so so good.


Guess what other things we ate? :-P

Buona Vista Coffeeshop: Duck Noodles.

This is duck noodles. Colleague's food while I ate the food in yesterday's posting.



I think I just realised that one of my colleague must be a super duck lover. Most of the time when we order our food, his will be duck!

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.

Amoy Street Food Centre: Wantan Noodles.

This is something that I eat quite often, and I think I have never took a picture of it until last week! This stall selling Wantan Noodles is at the Amoy Street Food Centre.



This version is the kuay teow (rice noodles) version. This stalls combination just makes me happy eating. I get wantons, char siew, mushroom, veggies and 2 diff kinds of chilli. Maybe it's just me, but it is delicious. $2.50 / $3.00

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.

Prima Taste @ Centrepoint

Our family sometimes pop by here if we are going shopping in Robinsons. Why? It's nearby lor. It's fast and food's not bad too.

Prima-taste Kitchen. Where they are famous for the pre-mix and paste that makes cooking so easy. I think lots of people especially those who miss Singapore/Asian food will cart back tonnes of these stuff.



I shall not be posting any food pics today. People complain that food pics make them hungry. Well, this place you queue up and the lady at the entrance will find you a table. Pass you an empty pad with food list inside. Tick what you want and bring it to the counter and pay.



After paying you get wooden tokens like these above. Yes, we ordered something twice! It was just yummy and we were feeling a bit greedy. haha...



This empty plate is what we ordered twice. Can anyone guess what it is? The leftover are some hints. LOL... Stay tuned tomorrow to see what we ate here.

Meanwhile, make your guess.

Keng Eng Kee Seafood @ Alexandra Village (Part 3)

This is the final installment of this series.

This is braised sea cucumber and duck. Delicacy!



Veg with fried ikan bilis on top. Just look at it!



If you like 'tua tow', look at this generous serving!



For this price, it's absolute a delight!
Guess what! It seems that if you have an OCBC card, you get 10% off! (coffee shop leh!)



What shall I eat next?

Keng Eng Kee Seafood @ Alexandra Village (Part 2)

Many people who come here order the Hor Fun. Just peep around the tables. haha.. It's actually quite good. It has the burnt wok taste, just a hint to make it smells and taste so good.



This is sambal cuttlefish and kangkong. Delicious oh...



This is one of the 'signboard' dishes (jiao pai cai). It's Marmite Chicken. Kids love this! So do I!



If you are a pork lover, try their sweeet and sour pork. I think I still prefer Marmite Chicken :-p



Well, we have 4 more dishes, wait till you see the price tomorrow, am sure you will dash there!

Keng Eng Kee Seafood @ Alexandra Village

Sunday night, our family decided to eat here. It's at Alexandra Village. For half of us, its the first time here, looks like we might be coming back!

It's at Block 124, Bukit Merah Lane 1. It's actually a coffee shop. But the zhi char here is the main thing at night. It also has an aircon section in the next block.



As usual, we have to wait for the food. :-) And people are chatting and playing with their mobiles.



Those who are thirsty will be drinking first. This is my barley drink.



Wait till tomorrow then see food pictures ok? haha...

It's the kopitiam opposite OCBC, behind Fairprice.
