Outram Park Fried Kway Teow - Hong Lim Complex

Was told this place cooks one of the finer Fried(Char) Kway Teow here in Singapore. Located in the Hong Lim Complex, this place is now temporarily at the improvised Hawker center at Hong Lim Park. After numerous failed attempts of coming here and sadly the stall was closed. THey dont serve dinner and are closed on Sundays. Greeting you when you show up at their stall are 3 ladies asking what you want and where you are seated. So there is no visible queue , but the waiting time is at least 15-20 minutes if you are lucky. Soemtimes it can go close to half an hour during peak times.
Here is a plate of 3 dollar Kway Teow. Mixture of thick and thin noodles, tossed in a sweet savory sauce with lots of cockles and sliced cuttlefish cake and of course. LARD!!!:)
Not much egg though, but the dish was done every well. Would like it to be have more of a charred taste to it., but nevertheless, it was savory and delicious. Truly one of the finer Char Kway Teow in this little island.

Rong Guang BBQ Seafood

Not a lot of Asian countries serves Sting Ray. I was shocked when the first time I tried it that it tasted like fish, I was expecting it to have the texture of a squid or cuttlefish and not be as flaky as a fish.
This restaurant has a couple of branches all around Singapore. This one is at Bukit Merah/Alexandra, And it was quite a little place , al fresco.
Chincalook and Spicy vinegar with shallots
They are famous for their BBQ Stingray..
when it came it smelled fantastic. The sambal has this smoky smell that just make you want to stick your fork in it and eat it quickly. It wasn’t too spicy but still has the kick and a mild sweetness and just perfect for the stingray. It doesn’t even need the other two side sauces they serve.
Another good dish was the Prawn Paste Chicken,
All Mid-joint Wings, it was fried perfectly. Crispy tasty skin, moist juicy meat. I love this. One of the better prawn paste chicken I have eaten.
The vegetable dish was also very nice. Tossed with garlic. Its light and very tasty.. Very nice vegetable.

Zhao Ann Granny Grass Jelly- Golden Mile Food Center

Zhao Ann Granny Grass Jelly

Now this place has been eluding me. Tried to eat at this place a couple of times before but unfortunately it was always close when I get here to Golden Mile.
Anyway, I was so happy when I see them still opened, Quickly ordered a bowl of cold grass jelly.
It was indeed refreshing and delicious. Just right to cap off a hot and tiring day.

Botak Jone - Scattered all over Singapore

Another trip to Botak Jones.. even when I was disappointed with their Burgers.. now, I ordered the Fish and Chips.. which gave you this
The size of the fish was substanstial, the fries were fried upon orderd. I like that they have malt vinegar. But I still prefer my fish and chips cooked with beer batter than this kind. Which was coated in bread crumbs. I find this frying method to crispy and the inside is not as moist as the beer batter method.
How about you guys...???

Casuarina Curry Restaurant - Thomson Area

Too some.. prata is everyday food, a lot even eat it for breakfast paired with coffe or teh tarik, for me.. Prata is definitely an indulgence. I described this piece of pastry as Asian Croissant. Its light in appearance but heavy on the stomach, and I love it very much. This place was recommended by the Makan Guru himself.. KF Seetoh. Here in Casuarina Curry, They still make their own prata dough.
Ordered a PRATA Plaster and a Paper prata. The prata plaster was basically a Kosong.. which is a plain prata with a fried egg stuck..
or plastered to it. The paper prata is a thin and crispy prata. Both were nicely done. Eaten with gravy. The prata has the numerous layers that I like. The paper prata was crispy yet not too thin . Both were delicious. And I was satisfied.
And to wash it down.. a cold glass of Mango Lassi. Goooooood… just right combination with the prata.

Da Paolo Pizza Bar - Holland village

Pizza oo...pizza.. This is one non-singaporean food which i like very much. I love the concept of Da PAolo Pizza Bar. Pizza is nice finger food. Its heavy on the tummy, its has the combination of carbohydrates, protein, veggies and dairy. all i one complete package. Partner it together with you favorite alcoholi cbeverage and you got an interesting evening:)
Situated in Chip Bee Gardens in Holland Village. THe place has a soothing ambience that makes you just wanna realx and take you tie eating the pizza, driking and talking with good friends. What more can you ask for right
But lets concentrate on the food. Was the pizza good?
Ordered a half and half, which lately is how i like ordering a pizza so you can have a taste of two kinds of topping combinations.
The crust was jsut the way i like it , thin yet chewy inside and crispy outside. The one with parma ham could use a touch of fresh greens on top. The mushroom pizza was a great because of its infusion with truffle oil..
Its is not the best i have tasted here in singapore. Yer it is better than your average delivery pizza.

Bismillah Biryani Restaurant - Little India

Biryani Rice is fast becoming one of my favorite indian food. Basmati rice has always been one of my favorite variety of rice, its long, and it absorbs water very well. I like my rice dry and fluffy. And Basmati rice is the best for it.
This restaurant has been very pupular among Singapore food blogs, because of its good Biryani. so i headed to Dunlop street to give it a try.
Ordered myself a Mutton Dum Biryani.
i love the colors of the rice cooked in Saffron and some indian spices. It is very aromatic. I also like the fact that they separate the curry gravy from the meat so that you can put the curry on the rice and control the amount, so that it wont be too messy and too wet.
The meat was cooked very well. Curry was also very strong yet not overwhelming the taste of the meat and the rice.
Overall, i like it. But, is it the best singapore has to offer...Maybe yes, maybe no, not yet sure.
Owner was pretty ncie as well. so thats always a plus point
