Sedap Singapore Series: Wee Nam Kee & Tian Tian Chicken Rice

I prefer the white meat. Both kinds were moist and juicy.


Wee Nam Kee!

in NovenaVille, infront of the Novena Church


condiments tray


garlic-ginger, dark soy sauce, sambal chilli sauces


Soy and Roasted Chicken, white meat (SGD8, good for 2). The best tasting chicken rice :) The breast part (white meat) was not dry nor bland, rather it was moist and juicy.



Cereal Prawns (SGD 16) - the smallest serving. Price was quite steep though.
An order has 8 pieces of prawns with the oh-so addicting sweet-spicy-salty-milky crunchy cereal bits of heaven.

Tian Tian

Tian Tian Chicken Rice hawker stall - the stall made even more famous by Anthony Bourdain (No Reservations, Travel & Living)


There was a long queue in this hawker stall. The chicken rice was pegged at SGD4 with soup, which was good for one person. Taste-wise, it kind of lacks that "chicken rice flavor" that I was expecting, I guess Wee Nam Kee is far more better. :)

Though I still have to try Five Star, Sin Kee, Boon Tong Kee, Pow Sing, Heng Ji, and the infamous Chatterbox, for that matter.






Curry Laksa Noodles

laksa noodles (SGD4.20), two stalls away from Tian Tian.


They used various ingredients like cockles, fish cake, prawns, bean sprouts, and rice vermicelli. I might say that this is close to the original (Katong), though it is not the best tasting lemak laksa. :(

Though I still have to try 328 Katong Laksa and Depot Road Zhen Shan Mei Claypot Laksa versions



This is the last of the Singapore Food Series :)

Sedap Singapore Series: Geylang Lor 9 Beef Kway Teow

Geylang Lor 9 Beef Kway Teow was the name of the place but I didn't order kway teow, instead, I ordered fried carrot cake and fried oyster cake :) Practically ate food from this place for three consecutive nights (for dinner) since this was quite near where we stayed.



Fried Oyster Omelete (SGD4)


Generous pieces of oysters with green onion leaves, beaten eggs, tapioca flour, fish sauce, served with sambal


Fried Carrot Cake (SGD3)


Fried carrot cake basically is cubed radish cake then mixed with preserved radish, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, chillies, fish sauce and beaten eggs, served with sambal. This one is the white version. It is called carrot cake since in Singapore, radish is called white carrot :)

What You Do Prata dishes. Mostly Indian - Curries, Basmati rice, biryani, etc.


Mutton Mutarbak with curry dipping sauce(SGD6) - better than Shiok's version


Cheese Prata with curry dipping sauce (SGD2.80)

Gindaco!

Tsukiji Gindaco takoyaki at ION Food Hall


Open Kitchen

Takoyaki balls on display


Takoyaki with the japanese egg salad topping (SGD8)


Possibly the best takoyaki I've ever tasted. Each ball is packed with rich ingredients such as pieces of diced baby octopus,red pickled ginger, tenkasu, dried shrimp, and green onions then grilled to a lovely golden brown color, then topped with a special brown sauce, mayonnaise and topped with shaved dried bonito and aonori seasoning - a mastrerpiece! There is an option to add Japanese egg salad on top, as such.





The Taiyaki stall - fish shaped Japanese cakes with filling


various fillings to choose from - sweet sand savory fillings

Food Republic

at Vivo City


Char Siew and Wanton Mee (SGD4)


Fried Dumplings


Kueh Tu Tu (Tan's Tutu Coconut Cake).
Kueh Tu Tu basically are little steamed white rice flour cakes with delicious fillings of coconut or peanut served fresh and warm on pieces of pandan leaves.
I tried both the coconut and peanut filling. Not bad though. I liked the peanut filling more. :) The coconut filling was reminiscent of the last time i ate pan de coco which was agonizing :p

Orchard Road

Orchard Road, Mega Atrium

Makansutra-ish type of dining experience. Exclusive Singaporean hawker food.
Food is sub-standard, and quite expensive compared to its counterpart.

Nothing special, even disappointing. Prata was good, except for the super diluted curry dipping sauce. Chicken rice was okay. Laksa was super disappointing, as well as the oyster omelet.
Service was great. The servers were very friendly and attentive to the clients' needs. Food needs improvement though.
