新源记 Xin Yuan Ji

Heard a lot of good things about this restaurant (if you can call it that) at Tan Quee Lan Street. When we got there, there was a long queue for lunch.


Apparently, this shop started from People's Park or Chinatown, moved to Redhill before the current location. Got all these information from all the newspaper cuttings on the walls.... and all the photos showed long queues wherever they were.


The fried fish bee hoon tasted pretty good, I only had a sip and it was rich and tasty.



My order was the XO fish head bee hoon. Expensive due to the XO and they use red snapper. Taste-wise, not bad. Can taste the XO during the first few mouths, but somehow, it kinda faded away during the rest of it. Probably the tongue got used to the XO. Anyway, I wouldn't be able to tell whether it was really XO or VSOP. For $9.50, it was my first and last time trying this.

We also ordered 虾酱鸡。It was nicely done, crispy on the outside and juicy inside.

Basically this place is like a zichar stall with aircon. I find it a little overpriced even the quality is good. If we go back, I will try the fish head curry which seem to the other signature dish.

Nasi Padang at Minang House, Lucky Plaza

Went for a quick lunch at Lucky Plaza after our measurement at Marriott Hotel. KT wanted to eat Nasi Padang so we found this place.

The Ayam Bakar (grilled chicken) was really tasty, we tried both the normal one and the one with chilli. The Begedil (fried potato cake) was great too, interestingly, there was diced dried beef inside.The other 2 items were tried (sayur lodeh and omelette) was just regular.



Total damage was $26.30 for 2 pieces of chicken, 3 begedils, sayur lodeh, omelette, 3 rice and 3 lime juices.

Pork Chop Rice @ The Bistro, NUSS Suntec Guild House

I found that I often end up ordering this when I dine at The Bistro at NUSS Suntec Guild House.

Portion is generous and the presentation is pretty nice. The other 2 items I like from their menu is the fried chicken wings and ngoh hiang.

My only complaint - lighting is not really condusive for photography, hahahaha.

Eunos Hawker Centre

The Pattisier

Passed by the Mohamed Sultan outlet the other day and could not resist... ended up buy 3 pieces of cakes for $21!

Pricey and portions are small when compared to Canale and Obolo. But I cannot fault the taste, presentation and quality.

Didn't get a decent shot of Cocoa Cheese which is a New York Cheesecake with chocolate mousse.

Plough through my collection, found more photos of cheese
