Fai Kee - Dinner before the electoral results

This morning was a bustling community gathering where the whole neighbourhood meets at the various polling stations to cast their votes - for the longest time, we get to do this as a nation together.

The simplest task of marking a cross on the piece of voting paper was notably thrilling and empowering - the realization of the significance in this quiet act; my second chance at voting so far.

Every Singaporean was equally excited, i guess, just make eavesdrop in the hawker centres; you could be sure that's the topic on the dinning table. We had a light dinner before the long night ;)

鱼胶汤, Fish Stomach Soup ($12)

After our rather enjoyable affair with fish stomach at Woh Hup Cze Char, we thought every Cantonese food stall should serve a reasonably similar fare and thus boldly went up to Fai Kee and ordered likewise.

The contrasting different was obviously in its broth. Woh Hup has a more appealing soup base and prepares its fish stomach boneless. Other consideration might be location where Woh Hup is in Outram while Fai Kee in the western region.

But the lure here is in its fried pork lard; adding much flavor to the bowl when you adds them to it ;)
