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 :)

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

Manong Dirty Ice Cream


One shouldn't miss trying this whenever you're in Singapore. These makeshift stalls/ push wagons are found mostly along the busy Orchard road, especially during weekends.


There are numerous flavors to choose from, like red bean, durian, classic chocolate, mango, mixed berries and the like.


Each ice cream brick costs SGD1 if you opt to have it with wafer, and SGD1.20 if you want it with the rainbow colored- bread.



Xi De Li - quaint store that sells mostly fried finger food and fruits. This one's conveniently located near the Aljunied MRT station. I've tried the Goreng Pisang (SGD 0.70) is a popular snack, which basically is deep fried banana fritters - Malay style (it is the saba type of banana doused in cake batter, then deep fried to a golden crisp); and Fried Carrot Cake (SGD 0.70)


Fried food!!


Old Chang Kee - found all over the city. This one's in ION Orchard, Orchard Turn


Got to try the carrot K8 (SGD 0.80)




Maxwell Fuzhou Oyster Cake

The oyster cake sold here is highly rated by ieatishootipost, one of Singapore's top food bloggers. Click to read the article.

The oyster cake really tasted fresh, using only the freshest ingredients and cooked to the right doneness. The cake had several pieces of juicy oysters along with strips of green vegetables, perhaps coming from the cilantro family. The cake batter was also of the right texture, consistency and flavor.




Maxwell Fuzhou Oyster Cake
is located at Stall #22
in Maxwell Road Food Centre,(which is about a few steps from Chinatown)
and opens daily from 10am to 6pm.

Bakery Point sells various types of bread like egg tarts, muffins, floss, pianono-looking rolls with floss, etc. This store is all over the city, most conveniently located near MRT stations and shopping centres. The kinds of bread here are similar to those being sold at Bread Talk and Bread Society, which originated in the Red Dot. Compared those being sold in Bread Talk, the prices here are cheaper, ranging from a little less than SGD1 to SGD2.50 each, and they pretty much taste the same.



bread on display


Spicy Pork Floss Roll wrapped in Nori with creamy Japanese mayonnaise filling plus more mahu inside = great bread pick!


Fire Floss Roll with Chopped Chives with creamy Japanese mayonnaise filling plus more mahu and chopped chives inside


red bean biscuits


Sweet Tau Sar Piah
-This tasted unusual since it has a red bean paste filling which was kind of dry. I expected a paste-y or a thick consistency, though I liked the texture of the bread since it was flaky and biscuit-y.


Taisan-tasting bread with cream filling topped with mahu


Creamy Egg Tarts - see how they glisten



Mr. (Soy)Bean(ery)

Sedap Singapore Series: Lor 8 Geylang

A Singapore Food Safari Series.






Singapore is a food lover's paradise, the country where people are passionate about their food and how they eat their food. I was oh-so-ready coming to this country, just as prepared as I was for my comprehensive finals in Pediatrics last semester. Of course, I was not to go in battle unarmed. I researched very well for dishes Singapore is known for; and not just only that, I also sought (electronically) for the right places to get them.





First stop: a small eatery along Lorong 8 Geylang (since this was the nearest, well-ventilated eating place we could find around the area). This was the first meal I took since the take-off in Manila. Geographically, it was just a (gazillion) few steps from our hotel, which was along Sims avenue, Lorong 3 Geylang.






Various dishes to choose from: meats, fish, vegetables, und so weite


I guess this is a hawker stall, basically it is Singapore's version of carinderia or turo-turo. As an outsider, I don't really know what the dishes were but sure they look appetizing and yummy basing from the aroma and texture of the dishes that appeared before me. I just pointed to auntie(fyi: auntie is the term used to address a middle age female in Singapore) the viands I think I would like to eat, as a combo meal, served with rice on a single plate.



Barbecued Pork + Spicy Ribs with rice = SG$2.50

This was my dish. I must say that even though I really don't know what I was pointing then, the dishes I picked were quite scrumptious. They were full of flavor and tasted fresh, or freshly- cooked.



Barbecued Pork + Garlic Kangkong + Something Omelet with rice



Fried Tofu + Garlic Kangkong with rice = SG$2.00


You can choose 1, 2 or 3 different dishes, may it be vegetables or meat. Prices range from SG$2 to SG$4 depending on the combination that you took.


Funny thing is that in order to sit so you can eat, you have to buy drinks from the adjacent drinks stall, since they own the area where the tables were. So I ordered Horlicks. I specifically said for it to be cold slash iced, but I guess the girl didn't understand my trying hard Singlish. So thus, it was served hot, piping hot. When I asked for ice, I was shocked to know that they are selling it, 30SGcents a cup. Whatta. Oh well. I guess they are taking advantage of the hot-slash-humid temperature there. :)
