COCONUT PUDDING

A variation of the well-known khanom krok or coconut pudding, this seafood pan is another one of my favorite street food. It is basically a mixture of flour batter and coconut milk, topped with eggs and wide range of ingredients (seafood, vegetable, ham, etc). This was taken in Platinum Mall food-court and cost Thb55 or around SGD2.20.

PHAT THAI

Often regarded as the national dish, Phat Thai is probably one of the most popular dish in Thai cuisine. Pretty similar to our fried kway teow but a lot more flavorful.

OYSTER OMELETTE

Known as Hoi Tod in Thai, it's similar to the local or Taiwan 蚵仔煎 but the Thai version is crispier, spicier, a tad more sourish and has that fragrant taste from the fish sauce and uses tapioca instead of potato starch.

MIXED BEANS IN LONGAN TEA

This dessert is called 'mixed beans and seeds in longan tea', tasted very much like sugar water but really flavorful and delectable. It was mixed with many-many 'beans' and 'seeds', sweetened lotus, sweet potatoes, tapioca pearls and some other ingredients I couldn't identify. Extremely refreshing but super SWEET.

The following few were taken in a restaurant called Kum Poon on the 7th floor of Central World.
A very busy restaurant serving local food, it is always packed especially during lunch.

The ambiance was good, food was great and reasonably priced but the portion was kinda small, service was slow and most of the waiter/waitress spoke (very) little English. Do remember to get them to go easy on the chili as the food is pretty spicy.



CHARCOAL-GRILLED CAT FISH

We loved this dish, fish was very flavorful and juicy. Went really well with the special sweet and spicy sauce.

TOM YUM

We love Tom Yum Soup and this is definitely one of the better ones we have had. The tom yum served here was excellent - fresh seafood with good size prawns cooked in aromatic and very appetizing thick broth. :thumbsup:

LARB HED/MUSHROOMS SALAD

A highly recommended dish and one of the best we have had thus far. The sauce was very unique; not the usual sweet-sour-spicy taste but also salty and very flavorful, perhaps because of the addition of fermented fish sauce and shrimp paste. The assorted mushrooms were great too especially the enokitake, really chewy and juicy.

KWAY CHAP


Kuay chap/kway chap or guo zhi ( 粿&#27713 is a Teochew dish of flat, broad rice sheets (similar to kway teow) in a soup made with dark and light soy sauce. It is usually served along with almost every part of the pig including innards, braised duck meat, peanuts, fish cakes, preserved salted vegetables, braised hard-boiled eggs and various kinds of beancurd.

Garden Street Kway Chap is one of my favorite stall where this dish is concerned. I have been eating there since the good old days when they were still operating at the now defunct Blanco Court. They moved to a corner stall in Serangoon Gardens FC and is now run by the son. Though it is not as good as it used to be but the kway chap served here is still one of the better ones around.

Flavor is more subtle and has a delicate herbal taste and the kway (rice sheets) has just the right texture, smooth, soft yet springy. The fish cake is very different from the usual ones served in other stalls and the beancurds are very nicely braised. One item I miss most is the old-days’ melt-in-the-mouth braised meat; it is no longer as tender and as fragrant as it used to be. I don't take innards but I heard the standard has dropped too. The stall operates till 3pm and is usually crowded during lunch.

WANTON NOODLES


Having tried the super delectable wanton noodles in Pontian, I was pretty excited when I chanced upon a stall selling this delicacy in Kovan FC few years ago. I wondered whether it was as good as the original and I wasn't disappointed. The charsiew was not perfect and no where near the original but the noodles and the crispy wanton was very good. I usually go for black with chilli and ketchup and that's a pretty nice combination of salty, sweet and spicy taste. The serving is rather small and is hardly enough to fill my stomach if taken alone. Though it's good, I still prefer those from Hwa Kee in East Coast FC or the inexpensive neighborhood stall near my office.

BAK CHOR MEE(肉脞&#38754/MINCED MEAT NOODLES

The dish is of Teochew origin and is either served dry or soup with minced meat, pork slices, pork liver, meat balls, stewed mushrooms and bits of deep-fried lard as well as the more rare deep-fried crispy sole/flat fish. This was taken in a coffee shop in Blk 153 Serangoon Nth Ave 1, nothing special but pretty generous serving for $2.50.

FISH BALL NOODLES


A very average set of fish balls & fish cake noodles taken from another coffee shop in Blk 153 Serangoon Nth Ave 1. Noodles were over-cooked and the fish balls were well below par and tasted anything but fish, a far cry from the usual ones like those in Singapore Food Trail or East Coast Lagoon. It would be disastrous had it not been the chewy and springy fish cake which went well with the chili sauce, not recommendable even at $3 a set.

Yeah, it looked pretty ok but quality wise was a big flop. Nah, mine was SII. Did use it for some quick snaps.

LOR MEE/BRAISED NOODLES


Lor Mee (鹵&#40629 or braised noodles is a dish of thick flat yellow noodles served in a sticky-gooey-starchy gravy and is totally different from the Taiwanese lor bak mee/lu rou mian (滷肉&#40629. One of my favorite noodles dishes, this Xiamen originated delicacy is popular locally but is less well-known compared to say fried kway teow or hokkien noodles. The thick gravy is made of corn starch, spices, eggs and sometimes certain herbs are added too. Many variety of (deep-fried) ingredients are mixed with the noodles and the usual ones are wu xiang/ngo hiong (five spices roll), fish, braised pork, fish cake, dumplings (wanton), half boiled egg and garnished with chopped coriander leaves. Vinegar, garlic and cut red chili can be added for extra kick.

This was taken in a stall run by a very friendly uncle in Blk 151 Serangoon North Ave 1. A popular stall which operates only till after lunch, the lor mee served here is definitely worth trying. The gravy was smooth and flavorful, noodles were cooked just right, well done braised pork and the crunchy yet tender deep-fried fish was a superb combination. Unlike other stalls; vinegar, cut red chili, minced garlic and coriander leaves here are left to the customers instead of pre-added.
