Holiday Joys
Greetings!
Been having quite some Japanese cuisine recently. Tried out the Ramen place @ Century Square. The food was pretty disappointing.
Their salmon ramen was so-so. The salmon taste nice with the sauce, can't say the same for the noodles though. As for their 'must try' Gyoza (Jiao Zi or meat dumplings), I would say the frozen ones that are sold in supermarkets taste better. The toufu was pretty bad too.
Greetings!What I love about the holidays is that we have all the time in the world to do what we want and what we please. Besides occasionally doing some work here and there, holiday is the time when I can go around to have good food and travel from Aljunied to Old Airport Road just for chee cheong fun. It is the time when I need not worry about incomplete tutorials and impending tests.

Another Japanese place we tried was Ajiteh @ Plaza Sing. The food was passable but the service was bad. Hardly anyone was around when we wanted to take our orders. In the end, we had to pass the order list personally to one of the waiters.

Seems like what we've ordered are mostly fish based dishes. But oh, we just love our fishes :)

Sometimes, the best food out there are not found in fanciful restaurants but at the humble coffeshops in our heartlands. Inspired by delicious hawker fares at www.ieatishootipost.blogspot.com , I marked out places to try fish (yes, again) and my favourite chee cheong fun and ah balling. I left my camera at home that day so all the food pictures shown below are taken from the above mentioned website.
1st Stop: Aljunied Avenue 2
At Aljunied bus stop
Stall number one: Ng Soon Kee Duck and Fish Porridge
We waited for like 30 minutes for this fish soup. Good is an understatement for their business. Sean was awed by how the aunty manage to remember who ordered what and where they sit considering the number of people who ordered from them. A $5 bowl of fish soup is not enough :( The fish was very fresh. Slurp.
Stall number 2: Citizoom Minced Fish Noodles
This was the stall that sells noodles made from fish. Yeap, so it is basically a pure fish dish for fish fanatics like us. The noodles was quite springy but my favourite was still the fish ngor heong.
Fried till crispy, every bite packs a delicious omph.
2nd Stop: Old Airport Road

At Kallang mrt
We wanted to try the chee cheong fun and the beancurd with ah balling from there. Unfortunately, the beancurd stall was closed, leaving us with only the chee cheong fun to try. The chee cheong fun stall offers fresh chee cheong fun of dim sum restaurant standard at half the price. We ordered 3 different kinds - Char Siew, Mushroom and Prawns. My favourite was the Char Siew one.

So that's all for the food expedition. I'm getting kind of tired from typing and editing photos and uploading them. Lol.
Night guys :)
