New kid on the block at Ang Mo Kio!
Since it's near to work place and home, we went on a friday evening. Reached there at before 6pm and only got our food at 8pm. Sobz
Okay food, but NAH.... I dont think it worth a 2 hour queue.
The "Best of Both Worlds" - Fish & Chips with Salted Egg & Chili Crab sauce comes in limited quantity, so do check the remaining quantity before you join the queue. Otherwise, you can opt for single sauce which seems to come in more portions.
One look at the menu reminds me of Aston, with its pricing and options. Oh, do note that the signature combo excludes option for Salted Egg & Chili Crab sauce. If you are like me, prefer a mix of fish and chicken to try out... sorry it's not an option assuming you are here to try the special sauce.
Since we dont take spicy food, we ordered the Salted Egg Fish & Chip and Hawaiian Chicken. The Salted Egg sauce was nice (what's not?) but the portion given was too little. I preferred to have the sauce in a separate container as a dipping sauce. The fish without the sauce was just.... normal. The chicken was okay, but I wont say wow.
Dont get me wrong, I think the food served was decent. Just like if I feel like having chargrill chicken chop, I will go Aston - affordable and efficient.
Service was great; despite working in a hot environment with intense pressure from long queue of hungry customers, the staff still greeted you with a smile at the counter. I say, we should support the young hawkers for their courage to venture into this super competitive industry and surely we welcome more. Give them some time, I think they will manage better. Hopefully the next visit will be just 20 mins wait. =)

When the weather is cold or when I'm feeling cold, Bak Kut Teh (BKT) will come to mind. What is more comforting other than sipping a hot pot of BKTsoup? One word, shiok!
There are 2 types of BKT, differentiated by the soup base, either white peppery or black herbal. Personally, I prefer the latter soup base, which I find it more tasty and flavorful. No offence to those who likes the peppery soup, but then, isnt it just pork rib soup with lotza pepper? =p
I was happy to know that Hong Ji serves the herbal BKT which seems to be more common in Malaysia but not in Singapore. So far I only know Hong Ji and the BKT stall at Jurong Point Malayia Boleh selling this kind of BKT, and luckily Hong Ji has quite a number of outlets.
The pork ribs were chopped up in smaller pieces, which made it easier to eat. And I luv that there was also tau pok & vege in the soup, if not, pork alone would be quite boring.

When I go East Coast park for blading, cycling etc. I will usually past by Beach Road Prawn Mee shop, which appears to be closed all the time. Seriously, are they ever open for business?
One fine day on a weekend afternoon, we decided to make a special trip down to the shop. I dun believe it can "escape" from me! I must eat the prawn mee by hook or by crook!
Hohohoho... *evil laughter*
*******
Indeed, the shop was packed with customers. It was a big contrast compared to another Prawn Mee along the same stretch. I thought it's kinda silly to direct compete with someone apparently very famous liao. *Shrugged*
Ok, back to Beach Road Prawn Mee! It has a few varieties such as plain prawn mee, prawn with pork ribs mee etc. Price starting from $4.50 onwards. There is also a 五香 stall, probably under the same management. I dint tried that, but I suppose it should be pretty good since there were many who ordered the 五香.
I always love dim sum, but simply dunno where to find places that sell dim sum at later hours. They are either close too early or the varieties are too limited ( e.g. those in food court).
Do you have the same craving?? >.< Keke.. no worry!! I happened to see this stall promoted on one of the TV programs, and since it relatively near my place, I decided to check this out lor. What's more, the stall is in coffee-shop so must be cheap lah!
This is the stall lor... Hong Kong Zhai Tim Sum
My orders! All for $8. 3o!
I like this dish best out of the four! The dish is made up of chinese mushroom as the base, the yellow triangles been egg yolk, white triangles been egg white, and " fa cai" embracing the sides. Creative rite? And definitely pretty! When you bite into it, the mushroom will even ooze out juice or soup base like. The healtier choice!
This is actually "ha gao" aka prawn dumpling, in wasabi skin dressing. Another creative & pretty invention.. Hee. The wasabi skin is not too spicy ( I dun take spicy food lor), just enough to excite your taste bud.
The dim sum selection that I am most particular --> "Cha Shao Bao" aka barbeque pork bun. Why ar? As they say ( whoever they are??), the most difficult cuisine to master is those that are the most simple ones. To me, cha shao bao is the most basic dim sum, so in order for the stall to be good, the cha shao bao must be good, at the minimum! Haha. Anyway, as the picture showed, the skin is fluffy soft, just like flower petals opening up, revealing the "pollen" aka the barbeque pork bits... Oops, I'm exaggerating too much! ;p I think it's my photography skill that is good! Hohoho.. but then, the cha shao bao here is not too bad lah!
I choosen this dish simply because it is too cute! It looks actually like a carrot, but it's not! Dun believe? Take a look at this....
Seriously, I dunno what it is... It seems to be sweet starchy skin wrapping carrot strips filling. Hmm, verdict => It
doesnt look as tasty as its look. But then, this is recommended in the TV program tot.. Well, see who you believe
lor.. TV program or me... =p
Btw, the stall closes shop at 10pm! GREAT if you wan sth light for dinner or supper lor... ^_^
