i-FES Mamak stall

This is the famous Mamak Stall at FES located just outside the ex-boom boom room.... we had our ICE LEMON LIME TEA, ICE LIME and ICE TEH there after gym... there is a ICE LIME GINGER... will try it next time! Wonder how will ICE LIME GINGER taste....

i-Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak

They have a stall inside the Pasar Malam that is now located just beside the Tampines MRT... Long queues... but the chicken wing looks good... quite huge! Must Try!

i-Hawaiian Host

Have never eaten this before.... and I like it... Of cos I did not eat the whole box... I shared a small package of 2 pieces with Gladdy! - the whole MACADAMIAS was so nice!

i-Pink Grapefruit from SUNRAYSIA

If you happen to see this drink... try it!! It is good!!

i-Puay Heng

Just behind the FES Planet Fitness, there is this Famous Mince Pork Noodles (Bah Chok Mee)Besides bak chor mee, they have other offerings like sliced fish noodles and mini hot pot with noodles. Across the noodle stall was another stall selling chicken rice. We had a later dinner after gym, so I wanted something healthy. I opted for Fish Soup Bee Hoon while Gladdy had the Mini Hot Pot noodles. Had not had dinner with Gladdy for the past 2 days!

Guess with have dinner often here after gym as the food is not bad! Only minus point is that they close so early!

i-Ramen @ Suntec

Japanese Beef Ramen $4.50) from Suntec Food Court. Thought it looks simple... I got to admit that the noodles very cruchy and springy! Nice... you can say that there is Q-ness!! At least this one not full of parsley!!

i-Eks! My noodles full of Parsley!

All I wanted was a nice simple dinner.... and lo and behold... my noodles was full of yakky Parsely! For those who knows me... I hate Parsley! I do not take to that smell at all!! Yaks!

i-Orange Juice

Try this... the Sacs is plentiful and it is not too sweet!! :) $1 only from all NTUC... :)

i-Imperial Treasure Teochew Kitchen

Imperial Treasure Teochew Kitchen is just two doors away from a Crystal Jade Kitchen, and another door down from a Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao branch.

Marinated dishes are a standard feature at any Teochew establishment. We ordered sliced Roast Goose, Pork Neck and Cuttlefish($14) ... it was first class. The Pork Neck was very crunchy and you would think that there was alot of fat in it. But in actual fact, there was none. It was all lean meat! Good dish!

We also ordered the Pig Stomach soup($6) which needed more pepper! The soup also went well with my rice!

The above dish is Beef with Kailan and Satay Sauce ($12) We did not even think it tasted like satay sauce at all! Wonder why they called it satay sauce for this dish!

i-Liang Seah Street

We had lunch at Liang Seah Street before heading down to the IT SHOW 2006 at Suntec City... the IT Show was so crowded! I did not even remember what I saw there... just throngs of ppl...

Anyway, we been eating here quite often, always order the TZA CHAR... never did we expect the Chicken Rice to be so nice also! The chicken meat was tender and not bloody... the rice was not oily at all! That is the type of rice I like... chicken rice can be very FATTENING you know! Thank goodness theirs is the 'not so oily' version! Of cos, I take careful attention not to eat the skin too!

Their bean sprouts with salted fish was very yummy-li-cious too... the sprouts were cook just nice... not too raw which I hate!! :)

i-Fatty Ox Hong Kong Roast Duck

We had dinner along Murray Terrace – FATTY OX HONG KONG ROAST DUCK. Nested among many eateries, we decided to try this one cos of the beautifully roasted ducks hanging inside the shop. We were seated outside and the night was cooling! A tip here... do clean your utensils before you use them if you are sitting outside... there can be quite alot of dust!!

We ordered their Suckling Pig Combo ($18) came with Famous Roasted duck and Char Siew. All the meat was very tender and not very fat too. It was very nicely done and the Suckling Pig was very crispy! The sweet sauce complimented the dish very well.

Their so called soup-of-the-day was Double boiled Winter Melon with Pork Ribs. For $4, it was very worth it! Can taste that the soup had been in the steamer for many hours! Thick and full of punch! Yummy.... Never had these kind of soup for a very LONG TIME.. hmmm maybe since my grandma pass away! Very good... must try this soup the next time when we are there again.

The Braised Fish Head ($20)…. We were so full by then that we did not even eat this… YES... you heard it... we were SO FULL only after 2 of the above dishes? Why... maybe it was the soup that we had! We finish to the very last drop. I mixed it with my rice and it just went so well for me! Anyway, we just took alittle of the fish and decided to pack it back for my mum!! Mummy... hope you will like this!

i-Tiong Bahru Market

Yummy Toasted Rojak which had a very long queue.. ordered 1 You Tiao, 1 Tow Pok, 1 Pi Tan, 1 Cuttlefish.. ($3.60)

Mix Porridge with Extra Fried Crispy Intestine! Actually... they just put the ingredient into the bowl... scoop the hot porridge over it and ta-dah... $5 (expensive hor?!)

The another very long queue Chicken Rice ($3) .... quite tasty leh... hmmm.. another winner here! I like the thick black sauce that came with it. Gladdy like the chilli though I find it rather spicy!

i-Lau Hock Kian

Lau Hock Kian, or "Old Fujian", at Amoy Street has been around for 50 years and is regarded as one of Singapore's iconic restaurants. We had our dinner there amd we only ordered the Crispy Chicken and their Hokkien Mee since it is famous there.

The Crispy chicken ($18) was very good. The meat was very crispy and the sesame seed under the skin added the fragrant to the dish. With the chilli sauce, this dish was YUMMY!

The hookien mee cooked the with yellow noodles and simmered in a dark soya sauce gravy with slices of pork, seafood and chye sim. Just before serving, pieces of deep-fried lard are sprinkled on top. The gravy was tasty!


We ended our dinner with a Yam Paste and we were surprise to find water chest nuts in it! Adds some crunch into the whole thing!

i-Chen Ji

Had dinner with Cynthia at Clementi today. She recommended me to this Tza Char store called Chen Ji. It is located near the Clementi MRT station. A small little humble coffee shop nested in the midst of a quiet HDB flat. We had in total about 6 dishes, but I would like to recommend the following 2 dishes.
Butter Sri Lanka Crab. Their specialty! I found this dish very good! The roe in the crab was amazing! Plentiful! And the crab though it looks small was pack with meat! Nice! I also heard that their egg white stream crab was also very good. Will try the next time I am there!

The other dish worth to try is the Homemade Tofu with Japanese Mushroom and Crab Meat sauce. The tofu is very nicely done here. Soft and tender! Almost like eating tou fu fa! Nice! Though it will be nicer if there were more crab meat! :P

i-TCC

TCC – The Coffee Connoisseur. Sat down for a drink after movie. Mushroom Vol-Au-Vent ($9.90) was yummy. But we thought that it was not hot enough and the pastry was not as good as the one we tried at Bugis. The Crispy Dory with Orange Mayo ($9.80) was good. Hot and crispy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside. Andrew ordered the Caesar Salad ($8.90) which was quite expensive! Binz ordered the Smoke Salmon Delights ($11.90) For drinks, I tried the Moroccan Mint Green Tea ($5.50). The aroma was strong. The others had Oreo Macha Frappe($6.90), Sea of Passion($4.90) and Ice Apple Tea ($4.90)

Thank goodness we had a 15% discount!

i-The Rice Table

Not been here for decades. We were lucky as we manage to get in without reservation as it was a last minute decision to eat there. We were lucky as we went early! 5.45pm, they do not open until 6pm.

Set dinner @$19.80 each. Ordered their fresh juice @$2.50/each. The sour plum was diluted. Anyway, as usual, the popular dishes were the Sate Ayam (my fav), Otak, Sayur Lodeh. We ordered 3 round of those!
We watch Army Daze after that!

i-Bratwurst

After reading THE TRAVELLING HUNGRYBOY posted about this. We decided to try it since we were at PS. Bratwurst Shop Grill from Melbourne. There were a few choices of sausages to choose from. We settled for the Chicken & Mushroom. I thought the bread roll was nice. The sausages were good. Not oily. But the Sauerkraut which I thought was shredded cheese at first turned out to be fermented cabbage. Ok… did not really like that!

We chose BBQ sauce instead of mustards. Should have added cheese, maybe it will be nicer! And it cost $4.5o.. not cheap ah! But ok la... as you can see... long queues. Next time we will try the Focaccia sandwiches which was huge looking! But I dun think I will like it. Unique fillings. (eg: Turkey breast with Mozzarella and cranberry, chicken with mozzarella and homemade salsa, grilled pumpkin with grilled pepper and sundried tomatoes)... hmmm... don't think I will like it!

Bratwurst, Basement of Plaza Singapura

Watched Wolf Creek today.

i-Breakfast

My Breakfast with Gladdy! I use to have half boiled eggs when I was young. My grandparents will cook that for us before we go to school. I had this for my Sat morning breakfast at a food court! Not too bad! The eggs were made nicely! Not over or under cooked! We added a fried carrot cake too....

i-Qi Ji

I been to this place a few times. The food is not too bad! Especially their chicken wings! Their Nasi Lemak ($3.50) chilli is nice. But would be better if it is slighlt sweeter. That is what Nasi Lemak Chilli is all about right? Will even be nicer if they have ikan billis in it too!

Their Mee Rebus is also not too bad. May I suggest that you soak a chicken wing inside the sauce and eat it... the mee rebus sauce goes very well with fried chicken wings... really!! Try it!

Poh Piah..... This dish disappointed me.. i tried the stall at Beach Road and I love it... but not here (Century Sq). They were not generous with their peanuts and sauces. Unlike the one at Beach Road!

i-Crystal Jade La-Mian Xiao Long Bao

I had dinner with Gladdy, XM, Ben and LS at Ngee Ann City, settled for Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao. Ordered 2 baskets of XiaoLongBao, I came to realise that so far, the best XLB I had ever eaten was the one at Koo Kee at Suntec City. Gladdy agreed with it too.
The rest of the dishes I find them very oily! So it did not go well with me!
