Imperial Treasure Nan Bei Restaurant, Suntec City

There are very few places to go to when you want dim sum for dinner, and Imperial Treasure Nan Bei at Suntec is one of them (the other being Crystal Jade Kitchen at Holland Village). Tonight, we wanted just that, so we headed to one of our favourite weekday dinner choices.

We got the ubiquitous Steamed Pork Dumpling 'Siew Mai' ($4), this is always a safe reliable choice. Crunchy fresh prawns wrapped in a wanton skin and topped with diced mushrooms and a cubed salted egg yolk. I love salted egg egg with anything, it always adds that special something-something to a dish.


We also got the Steamed Glutinous Rice in Lotus Leaf ($3.80), soft and moist glutinous rice flavoured with minced chicken, mushrooms and conpoy.


The Steamed Diced Mushroom Dumpling ($3.80), crystal chewy dumplings filled with diced mushrooms and chives, this was earthy and so healthy (I like to think so!).


The Steamed BBQ Pork Bun ($3), fragrant buns that were soft and fluffy and filled with flavourful and juicy melt-in-your-mouth bbq pork. 


We also got the Deepfried Beancurd Skin Roll with Shrimp ($4.20), crispy beancurd skin with succulent minced prawns and mushrooms for added texture.


We got a vegetable option, the Poached Seasonal Vegetable with Assorted Egg ($12), this was delicate and light, with the salted egg yolk lending a sandy yet creamy texture to the dish.


To fill us up, we got Ee-fu Noodles ($10.50), with sliced button mushrooms and chives. This is really one of my favourite variety of noodles, I could eat this everyday.

ABC Brickworks Food Centre

싱가포르에 호커 센터 중에서 에이비씨 브릭워케 호커 센터를 우리가 제일 좋아해요. 실제로 싱가포르에서 가장 크고 유명한 호커 센터 중 하나예요. 가끔 외국인 여행자들이 이 호커 센터에서 식사하고 관광도 해요.  호커 음식은 내가 우리 나라 싱가포르에서 제일 사랑하는 것이에요. 호커 푸드는 내 컴포트 푸드여서 내 마음에 들어와요. 음식도 싸고 맛있고 종류도 많아요. 해외여행 가면 그리운 음식이 호커푸드인데 싱가포르에 돌아와서 가장 먼저 먹는 음식이 박초미예요.  박초미은 아마도 내가 제일 좋아하는 호커푸드예요. 나는 식초맛을 좋아하고 버섯볶음이 제일 맛있고 용기가 제일 맛있어요.   =========================   ABC Brickworks is one of the more well-known, and beloved, hawker centres in SG. The fact that tourists can sometimes be seen traipsing down the rows of neon-lit stalls is testament to its fame.  We hit up ABC a couple times a month, at least; the hawker centre is central enough that satisfying a local food craving here doesn't require an hour+-long round trip (unlike with Fengshan Bedok); there's ample enough lots that parking doesn't require the patience of a saint (unlike with Serangoon Gardens); seats are plentiful enough that large groups are able to find a table fairly easily, and stalls are varied enough that multipl

Janggut Laksa vs 328 Katong Laksa, Queensway Shopping Centre

Image
Queensway Shopping Centre , where locals flock to for all things sports and optical-related, is also known for good laksa. There are 2 laksa stalls, within a stone's throw of each other, both claiming to serve up the best. Both tout to be affiliates of world-famous Katong ones, and the accolades, writeups and publicity plastered all the utilitarian facades will attest to the fierce competition. Seating at both eateries is cramped and constrained, so dining is really a touch-and-go affair. Both are manned by efficient, if a little curt, bevy of staff, and so turnover is high. Good news for the 5-minute-on-average long line of diners waiting their turn. The menu is similarly limited, with laksa being the primary dish of choice, and its fixins' like otah and lime juice as regular side orders. Curry chicken, Chinese-style, is also a popular option. Janggut Laksa  The Laksa ($3.50 for small) here was disappointingly lackluster. It was insipid, and the milk had obviously cur

C'est la saison de la soupe. Meme si on n'a pas les quarte saisons à Singapour, le temps devient "pas aussi chaud" vers la fin de l'année; c'est cette période que j'ai envie de soupes et de ragoûts...ils sont très très réconfortants!  Dans d'autres nouvelles, les lumières et décorations de Noël à Rue Orchard sont allumées!! Je ne suis pas sûr pourquoi, mais voir les lumières de Noël me rend toujours heureux. Je pense, c'est peut-être parce que les lumières de Noël signifient l'approche de Noël, ma saison préférée de tous. Même si on ne fête pas Noël pour des raisons religieuses, c'est toujours le temps de la gentillesse et l'amour, toutes les qualités que j'apprécie et chérit. Et parce que tous nos proches resteront à Singapour, nous inaugurerons et passerons les fêtes de Noël et du Nouvel An avec eux à la maison au lieu. Ce sera certainement un changement, car nous sommes habituellement à l'étranger et nous regardons les feux d
