Mouth Restaurant, Chinatown Point

I bought Beeps and Shan out for lunch during Secretaries Week. Although Shan was never technically my secce, she was a great source of support when she was in the firm with us, and one of the first few friends I made when I first joined the firm.

Shan works at Chinatown Point and since she's preggers, we decided that the lady carrying a child in her third trimester took precedence and we'd drive over and have lunch with her around her office at Mouth Restaurant.

Shan was craving Roasted Duck ($15), so obviously we ordered a plate of it. The skin was wonderfully crisp and crackled when we bit into it, and the duck was juicy and succulent.


We got Beeps' fave, the Steamed BBQ Honey Pork Bun ($3), fluffy buns with tender and smoky sweet pork.


The Steamed Mini Glutinous Rice in Lotus Leaf ($4.20) was fragrant, moist and well-flavoured.


The Deep Fried Prawn Dumpling with Salad Sauce ($4.30) was fresh out of the fryer, piping hot, not too oily.


I loved the nutrient-rich Double Boiled Herbal Soup with Black Chicken ($10). The soup was clear and sweet, with depth of flavour obtained from hours of double boiling.


The extracted soup particulates with red dates and wolfberries for sweetness, black chicken and pork for the base, and white fungus for added nutrients.


The Steamed Siew Mai with Crab Roe & Mushroom ($4.10), was nice but boring.


The Crispy Skin Carrot Cake ($3.80) was a little unusual in that it was battered lightly then fried. The carrot cake was still a little mild-tasting though.


We also got the dim sum du jour, Steamed Creamy Salted Egg Yolk Bun ($3.20). The salted egg yolk filling was a little more firm, not too creamy where the filling would ooze out after a bite. Still, this was pretty good.

.
A very enjoyable meal with good friends to round off Secretaries Week.

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...
