Chili's Grill & Bar, Tanglin Mall

We finished late at the gym today and headed for Chili's for a (really) late dinner. We're really loving this whole "own-time-own-target", "free-and-easy" lifestyle. I mean, if we had kids, we would have to stick to a strict regimented timetable. Plus, it's kind of difficult to drag your kids along for a dinner at 10pm. And we wouldn't be able to enjoy our favourite activity, vegging out in front of the telly for weekend-long marathons of past seasons of 24. Ahh, the joys of non-parenthood.

The BF is a huge lover of red meat and since he needed the post-workout protein, he got the Big Mouth Bites ($17.90), four mini USDA ground beef burgers with apple-wood smoked bacon, cheddar cheese, sauteed onions and ranch dressing on toasted sesame seed buns. This was served with black pepper mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were chunky, with silvers of potato skins added for extra texture and vitamins. The black pepper topping was also delicious, it was creamy yet spicy.


The beef burgers were so cute and little, but very hearty. The way real burgers should be, huge, meaty and robust.


I got the Country Fried Chicken ($14.90), battered and fried chicken breast topped with black pepper gravy and served with sides of a corn on the cob and black pepper mashed potatoes. The thick slab of chicken breast was surprisingly moist and incredibly fork-tender.


We also ordered extra sides of Seasonal Veggies ($3.90) and another Corn on the Cob ($3.90). The corn was absolutely stellar, buttery, juicy and amazingly sweet.

ABC Brickworks Food Centre

Image
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 ...

The People vs Cheapo Food Bloggers and Bad English

This is a mini rant. Friends know that my one guilty indulgence is reading food blogs ("flogs"). ("guilty" because I read them at work...yes, my boss reads this flog too) And Singapore, despite its little size, has a very developed food blogging scene. A quick surf on the internet will prove that there is an inordinate number of flogs for a country as tiny as ours. I suppose it's really due to the connectivity of our island, its technologically savvy netizens and their insatiable appetite and love for food. But lately, I've noticed a worrying trend. There is a growing number of flogs that I've stopped reading entirely, simply because almost 90% of their posts are all based on invited tastings. Don't these cheapos ever pay for their meals anymore?!? I've always thought that the ( one of the primary ) purpose( s ) of writing a flog is to introduce to the good people of Singapore the various culinary treasures on our little island. An invited ...

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...
