Sushi Tei: Eel, Sashimi and Baby Octopus

These are posts of Japanese food at Sushi Tei at Holland Village. One afternoon, it was lunch time, we were already so hungry but this colleague of ours asked us to wait, we waited for more than half an hour for him to be ready, we almost died of hunger.

When he was ready, he saw us almost semi-unconcious, so he said, get up! I treat you all Jap food. Wah, we were suddenly energised! ok ok. This is a true story, you know which part has been exaggerated. You are all clever people :-)

We ordered some sashimi.


We also took our fav baby octopus from the conveyer belt thingy.


And some unagi sushi. You can see how tasty it is right?


Hmmm someone commented that I should put more photos, so there's 3 today. More to come tomorrow :-)

Bukit Timah Food Centre: Ngor Hiang

This is a bit weird. This post is titled Ngor Hiang but you dont really see the Ngor Hiang thingy here. I think we did not order it, but ordered the rest of the items like Sotong, Tau Hu, Fried Chicken Wings and Fried Mar Tee.



I think in Penang its called Lor Bak. In Singapore and Johor, we call it Ngor Hiang.

Update:
Since Tigerfish asked for the Econ Beehoon, here it is:



It's something very very simple, but many people including me just love it. I guess its because it is carbo. haha..

Bukit Timah Food Centre: Carrot Cake

Carrot Cake, if you are from overseas, your definition of carrot cake will be cakes made of those orange carrots right?

Well, if you are in Singapore or Malaysia, mention carrot cake, and this dish will come into mind first. Also known as "Chai Tow Kueh" or "Char Kuey".

They usually have the "white" and "black" version. White version is crispier and savoury. The black version is sweeter because they use dark sauce and it is usually wetter.

I like this version of White Carrot Cake from Bukit Timah Food Centre. It has lots of "chai poh" (pickled salted raddish) and lots of eggs too, which I love....




Oh yes, if you are wondering what carrot is in it? It's the white radish mix with rice flour to produce the cakes. The cakes are then cut up into smaller pieces while frying.

Well, if you wanna DIY at home, you can also buy the radish flour cakes from the supermarkets.



BTW, this is my 100th post on Singapore Daily Makan. Wow, I am amazed with myself! 100 days of food pictures! Hope you have enjoyed it!

If you have been visiting and have not been dropping comments, please drop some these few days, let me know how to improve this site. A few words would be enough! If possible, the next 100 post will be better with your feedback.

Toa Payoh Lucky Pisang Raja: Curry Puff

Other than Pisang Goreng, colleague also bought us Curry Puff from the same stall.



Sorry did not take the photo of how it looks inside, sometimes we just don't think about taking photos when our tummies are hungry and food suddenly appears on our tables :-)

But, for curry puffs we actually prefer old chang kee's :-)

Toa Payoh Lucky Pisang Raja: Pisang Goreng

Pisang Goreng (Banana Fritters) are very popular in South East Asia. Many of us grew up eating this yummy yummy stuff.

My colleague bought us this Pisang Goreng from Toa Payoh's Lucky Pisang Raja. It is suppose to be quite famous and he had to queue for us:-)

It is in fact quite delicious. Crispy outside and moist inside. Yum...

Colleague had to wait till 12 noon exactly, before it opens. You know there are many stalls in Singapore that are so so so straight to the dot and do not budge in their opening time. haha.

Here's how it looks.





Wondering where to find it?
