Indulgence After Running 5Km

After running 5km...we stuffed ourselves with these...from our fav hawker centre, Chomp Chomp :)))

Stingray

Minced pork macaroni

Fried Hokkien Mee

Pan fried carrot cake

Chicken wings

Sugar cane juice & coconut juice

It didn't matter we smelt like Chomp Chomp at the end of our dinner. :))) We weren't smelling good after the run anyway. :)))

Oh and we had ice cream at Udders, My Village... ;)

Fishball Noodles Please?

Lin & I craved for fishballs noodles from Song Heng. It's been a pretty long while since we last had it. So it didn't matter even if we had to wait about 20 mins for our order to be served. They might not be the best fishballs stalls around in Singapore, but good enough for both of us. :)

 

I like to have fishballs with mee teh mak (they resemble a mouse's tail) while Lin favors mee pok. :D What about you?

 

The sauce comprising of vineger, oil, chilli and soy sauce fused with the noodles perfectly. The fishballs are fresh and Q. :)

 

This little stall has pretty awesome service too. We ordered a take-out for Lidia and the lady boss offered to pack it for us when we were done with eating ours. All just to ensure the take-out would still be hot when we get home. :)

A Bowl of Chicken Laksa

Mom and I had a bowl of chicken laksa for lunch today. Unlike other laksas that have lots of prawns, Min Ji's laksa doesn't have any. Instead, Min Ji's laksa has lots of tender, succulent chicken, fishcakes & taopok. I really like the chicken v much. The aunty takes pride in her cooking. She cooks one pot of laksa gravy at a time so as to ensure the gravy is rich & flavourful. She also buys better quality taopok so that they can absord the laksa gravy much better. And when you bite into each taopok, the gravy just burst into your palatte. :)))

Sat Lunch at Newton Food Centre with Mom

Today is a day when we only want a bowl of sliced fish mee sua (Lin), bee hoon (mine) and porridge (mom). :) Nothing fanciful but tasty & light.

We get our fix from Song Kee at Newton Food Centre. :) There's always plenty of fresh sliced fishes in each bowl. Nom nom nom...

Lin's must order everytime we are here - popiah. :)

Lazy Sat for us this week! ;) How's yours?

Lin's Craving for Crayfish & Prawns Hor Fun

Lin had this craving she needed to satisfy before heading to Tokyo & San Francisco for work tomorrow. :) And so she had it. Crayfish & prawns hor fun from Tuck Kee Ipoh Sah Hor Fun.

It's the flavourful gravy & green chives which makes this dish delectable.

This is the queue at 11.30am, Tuesday...

As for dessert, we had almond soya bean milk and bean curd from our fav stall just behind Tuck Kee. :D A fabulous Tuesday with Mom & Lin. :)

Cheap & Good Sunday Breakfast - Chee Cheong Fun

One of my fav Sunday breakfast yums is chee cheong fun. Unlike the Hong Kong's version where there're various stuffing such as shrimps, scallops & char siew, the Singapore's version is just plain rice roll drizzled with sweet sauce & sprinkled with sesame seeds. It's cheap (about 60-70 cents per roll), it's yummy & it's easily available at all hawker centres! :) I love the soft texture. I love the sweet sauce. I love the sesame seeds...

Sunday Breakfast Request - Chwee Kueh 水粿

My Sunday breakfast request this week is chwee kueh! :) We haven't had these steamed rice cake for a loooooong while. We love the melt-in-your-mouth texture & they go so well with crunchy preserved radish.  *.*

Beanie got these chwee kuehs from some random stall. :) But they tasted good nonetheless. :)

Lin & I are always fascinated by how effortlessly & quick the stall aunties or uncles remove the steamed rice cakes out of their aluminium molds. :)

Blessed Sunday. :) What did you have for breakfast today? :)

Crystal Dumplings 水晶包

Come to me savory goodness...Beanie finally bought us my fav turnip crytsal dumplings. :)

There are 2 other flavours: yam & sweet bean paste (Beanie's fav). Beanie & mom cleared them before I could take any pics. So there're only turnip crystal dumplings for this post. *.*

We love the crunch of the turnip fillings. :D Gorgeous! There are bits of mushrooms & minced pork in the dumplings too. They make great snacks!

Eat May Know (食就知）

It's been raining for the last two days. I'm actually enjoying the cool weather, minus the flooding in certain parts of Singapore. Rainy weather makes a perfect day for tea. :)

Mom bought me salted bun (Hum Chin Peng) & butterfly bun from this little stall, Eat May Know.  This name is easy to remember isn't it? :))) Eat and you may know if the buns are good. ^.* We like the buns from this stall because they are freshly made on the spot.

There are two types of hum chin peng. The salted one and the one with red bean fillings. I prefer hum chin peng without any fillings. Beans, be it red or green are out for me. : I

The butterfly bun is coated with seasame and it's a little sweet. It's called butterfly because it's shaped like one.

The snowman tea set brought some fuzzy cheer. :) I chose Twinings Four Red Fruits flavoured tea. The four red fruits are cherry, redcurrant, raspberry & strawberry. :)

Say hello to June's snowman. :D

Lunch at Serangoon Garden Market

It's a walk down memory lane for Xueyi this afternoon. :) We did lunch at Serangoon Garden Market. ^.* She lived & studied here for a number of years before moving back to Hong Kong. 

The queue at Soon Huat's Pig's Organ Soup was long even though it's a weekday. : O Thank goodness we didn't have to wait that long. :)

Lin and I don't take pig's intestines, so we gave ours to Xueyi. She loves it! :D

Xueyi wanted white carrot cake, we wanted black. Hence it was white vs black. :) Which do you prefer?

Xueyi finished her satisfying lunch with a cup of tea with evaporated milk. :) Mm...

Supper at Newton Circus

April's a month of visiting by friends from HK! :) We received our first guest, Ivy this evening. She suggested doing dinner (which turned into supper) at Newton Circus. It's a great place to enjoy local fare if you've limited time in Singapore. ^.*

It's amazing how much we 3 ladies can eat! Lol! :))) So here we go:

Popiah - the fillings are made of shredded turnip, beansprouts & crispy bits (which we really like as it gives the wrap added crunch).

Savory fried carrot cake - it's Ivy's 1st attempt of this soft, melt-in-your mouth delicacy. :) One of my top fav local fare! The main ingredients of this yum are flour, shredded radish, eggs & preserved turnip.

We tried to be "healthy" by having Kang Kong with belachan? But the way it's being cooked, seriously how healthy can this dish be? :)))

Ivy only takes boneless fish, so this stingray suits her palatte to a T. :)

And Ivy loves black pepper crabs. She loves the lingering aroma of black pepper & butter on her fingers after eating them. ^.*

The other local fare we had were chicken & beef satays with peanut sauce and bbq chicken wings.

The lime gives the chicken wings a refreshing twist! :)





























Our supper ended at 11pm last nite! Lol! :))) I'm relieved there isn't a spike in my weight this morning!!!

Chicken Porridge with Eggy from A Random Stall

In recent weeks, we've been running to the hospital to visit Mrs Ang, our econs teacher from colleage. She's getting weaker by the day and her appetite has been really poor. She's on porridge diet but she could hardly manage two - three spoons. : ( If she takes an extra spoon, we're all very happy.

Lin and I headed to Old People's Park Complex for dinner after visiting Mrs Ang and ordered a chicken porridge with eggs from some random stall. It was pretty good with lots of tender chicken pieces. :) It warmed our tummy. As long as one is healthy, even a simple bowl of chicken porridge is heavenly.

Sunday Lunch

We had lunch at Serangoon Garden Food Centre after church. :) Here's a peep at our spread. ;)

Starter: Black carrot cake.

Somehow Lin and I like to have black fried carrot cake in the day, and the white version at night. :))) We like this particular stall that sells fried oyster & fried carrot cake. They serve carrot cakes in tiny stripes with eggs & lots of preserved radish.

Main: Kway chap, braised meat, tofu & eggs.

This is from the famous Balanco Court kway chap stall. :) Their kway chap is yummily smooth. :D

The braised meat's tender & well marinated.For health & weight reasons, Beanie, Lin & I removed the fatty parts. Lol. :))) Mom's the only one who ate the fatty bits. :O

We love braised eggs! :D Don't they look good? ;)

Dessert: Ice longan (it was such a hot day, we consumed it before I could take any pic)

Traditional Niang Tofu

We lunched at Beanie's fav niang tofu stall today. :) He has been patronizing it for more than 40 years! : O Unlike other niang tofu stalls, this stall makes their own niang tofus and it sells only niang tofu and no noodles. Every bowl of niang tofu consists of 3 fishballs, 3 tofus with minced pork, 3 deep fried beancurd skin with stuffing and 2 deep fried tofus with minced pork. We always have these little goodies with sweet dip. :) Did I mentioned the clear yellow bean soup is real tasty? ;)

Thank goodness Beanie went with us! ;) Otherwise we have to queue for at least 30 mins. : / To wait that long in the current heat, it's IMPOSSIBLE for me!!! : I

Koka's Trip to the Food Centre

Angie's back and wanted to take Koka out for breakkie. It's difficult to find a place in Singapore that allows pets. Hence she stuffed Koka in a Gucci bag and we headed to Ang Mo Kio 628 Market. :)))

Koka seemed happy to be in a bag. :) Lin and I should get a big bag for her future outings soon! ;)

Lin and I like a particular wonton mee stall at this market. :) The noodle's Q and the gravy's tasty. Beanie buys it for our breakfast every Sunday. :) It's great Angie was able to try it too! :D

Stall #01-90

In A Claypot

I accompanied my mom for her medical review yesterday and we decided to do dinner at a local food centre near the hospital, Chinatown Complex Food Centre. There is a particular claypot rice stall that Lin and I like. :)

Here it is. Lian He Ben Ji Claypot. We try to be there before 6.30pm to avoid the dinner crowd. ;)

Isn't this convenient? Everything's in a pot. ;) There's chicken, Chinese sausages, salted fish and greens in it, More importantly, it's tasty! 

The stall sells a variety of soups as well. :) We always go for the melon ones. :)

The place is often packed, so please be prepared to wait 30-45 mins for your food to be served. :)
