Kway Chap @ Bukit Batok CC

Kway Chap or more commonly known here as 粿汁 is a Teochew dish of flat, broad Rice Sheets in a soup made with Dark Soy Sauce.

Served with our selection of Pig Offal, Braised Duck meat, various kinds of Beancurd, preserved Salted Vegetables, and Braised hard-boiled Eggs.

Plateful of our selection with 3 bowls of Kway ($6.50)

This stall was worth my special mention as it offers generous food portion at an economical pricing.

We had previously tried their Set for 2 @ $5.50 and were pleasantly surprised with the good quality and large serving of food.

Even the Kway was a full big bowlful compared with all others we usually had!

Most importantly, they don't pile up the dish with Cucumber slices just to create that "inflated" look.

The plateful you seen in the picture above were made up of all true ingredients :)

This honest stall certainly deserves our support.

LE Cafe - CNY Goodies

Since we knew LE Cafe & Confectionery for quality Chinese New Year Goodies, we never stop coming back to them each year.

Pricier than Bengawan Solo, but i do find them better.

Love their Vegetarian Almond Cookies, Pistachio Cookies, Sambal Prawn Roll and Kueh Bangkit!!

A bite into their Pineapple Tarts that Rics "smuggled" from home. It was thinly crusted with not so sweet Pineapple infill - super nice, i like it.

Next year, we shall place an advance order for their Golfball-sized Pineapple Tarts - 10 pcs for $9.80. It was fully booked by now, we were told to order 2 months in advance!

Lunch at Singapore Banking Hub

Today's a real eye opener for me! Strolling down the streets of Singapore's Banking & Finance Hub - the area outside Raffles MRT and along OUB Centre...

It's jam-packed with lunch-goers in their banking suits and gear...haha... all towards the Market Street Food Centre!! I'm the only 1 in casual Bermuda shorts :)

The 1 level food centre was crowded throughout the 2 hours lunch break!! We have a quick lunch of Fish Porridge at 瑞记.

Fish Porridge ($3)

Thick Fish slices swimming in delightful MSG-free clear soup flavored with shredded Dried Cuttlefish. Truly beneficial for my current battling with the Flu & Cough virus.

Would love to lunch here again; there's so many stalls with long queues that i would wish to explore...

It brings back much childhood memories to be here again; sweet memories of being here with Mum to the China Bank... and finding our way about...

作记 Duck Rice

'Tis a long busy work week of 2009; getting some serious work done and tying up some loose knots here and there could cost you a whole day's work.

Today we manage to catch some yachting competition of the Volvo Ocean Race off the coast of East Coast Park while lunching at the nearby Hawker Centre.

The ever popular Duck Rice stall was never lack of patrons.

Queuing as we did, for 30mins...

Plateful of Duck Meat, Pig's Ear, Braised Tapok, Egg and Rice ($15)

Never go wrong with this Duck Rice stall - they are one of the very BEST in Singapore!

A queue awaits you here ... always.

New Plant Activator & Pyroligneous Acid!

Having won my confidence on the Super Plant Activator Pack, Ric bought me these 2 new bottles from Daiso IMM outlets today :)

The spray bottle of 300ml Activator comes with a useful turning knob that is lockable.

The 250ml of 植物木酢液 (Wood vinegar), the Pyroligneous Acid was my 1st try, so i didn't know how it may turn out.

For use with dilution of 200-500 times of water, it promises to work as insects repellence, soil conditioning, odour suppression, promoting growth of good bacteria for the plants.

Pray it's as good as it promises ;)

As a guide in fertilizing plants, i believe doing things with moderation. Keeping in mind that too little and too much of something is always not healthy.

Cafe Cartel - New Menu for 2009!

The sweating afternoon heat drove us to lunch in the cool dining comfort of Cafe Cartel in IMM. It's been awhile since we last visited Cartel; they have a new Lunch menu for 2009!

As suggested by the waitress, we had a Set of A & B to share.

Set A - Jumbo Chicken Leg in Black Pepper Sauce ($9.50)

Chunky sized Chicken Leg with Vinegar Lettuce Salad and well textured Rice; no complains.

Set B - Grilled Fish Pasta in Cream Sauce ($9.50)

Ric prefer the Chix to the creamy Pasta but i'm just the opposite :)

The pasta had a really nice aromatic taste of Chinese "Ee-Fu 伊面" noodle. I couldn't figure out how they do it; Pasta dishes never seem to go wrong here at Cartel, each of their signatures Pasta comes in distinct different flavor.

I sponged dry the Cream Sauce with their home made bread... Smacking...
