Indian Mee Siam

The foodie colleague R showed us a blog from ieatishootipost and told us that there is a nice Indian mee siam just very near us! Just at the Ayer Rajah Food Center that we always had our lunch. So, we tried it during one of the lunches. 

Seriously, if it wasn't for the blog recommendation, I don't even think that I will be trying any one the India food there. FYI, the 60% of the stalls there are selling either muslim or indian food. I am just not that adventurous in food as all claims that they are the best and famous in shenton way. 

Its the green signboard stall. Stall 58.

We tried the raved mee siam (there is spicy and non spicy version) and the roti john. 

The mee siam is surprisingly good, given that I have only tried the malay version all my life. The difference with malay and indian mee siam is the gravy and the bee hoon. Malay mee siam tends to be sourish and watery and the beehoon is white while indian version has thicker gravy and it is not sour at all!

Its my first time trying roti john. Nice and fragrant. Yums. The sauce compliments the bread well too.

Overall, the food is definitely worth a try. Shall try it the next time we had lunch there.

Outram Park Bak Kuh Teh

Finally able to update! Had alot of trouble trying to upload the photos. Imagine 1 photo can takes up to 1 hr! Not too sure whether its the internet problem or what. 

After one of the late nights last month at the operations, the team decided to go for bak kuh teh at this quite famous outram park ya hua bak kuh teh.  

The you tiao

the spread. Pig stomach, tau gua, pig trotter, peanuts, salted veggies and of course, bak kuh teh

After.

Conclusion: Its my first time trying bak kuh teh as we asked the staff if the soup contains any herbs. Answer is nope. So I tried. I felt it wasn't very amazing like the rest described. Its just pork ribs and soup. Got any special meh? Thought I drank the soup, I'm still not very convinced that there is no herbs added. So, drink with caution. The seasoned bak kuh teh goers says its not very fantastic as it seems.

Many stars graced the shop.

Fish Mart Sakuraya

Brought Alvin to try the raved sashimi at West Coast Plaza after colleague S had brought me for my birthday treat. The sashimi is super fresh. 

It has a interesting concept that the front part of the shop is a shop front selling Japanese food stuff. Any Japanese food, ingredients, snacks that you want to find, you are most likely to find it here. 

You will see somewhere in the middle of the shop there is a counter with packages of different portions and variety of fish. Its just like buying sliced fish from supermarket. It is individually placed in a Styrofoam plate and cling wrapped tagged with price on it. You can then choose whichever variety of fish you like and within your budget and pass over to the service staff and let them know whether you want to dine in or takeaway. It's as simple as buying fish in supermarkets. The fish had cuts from different areas like the tail part etc. The fats distribution of the fish are also different. So you just choose those you like best. 

Our salmon and swordfish sashimi

It is really fresh. Alvin commented that it's my fault to bring him to taste such a wonderful sashimi that the other sashimi he tasted is not comparable to this and he don't eats them anymore. (But btw, Sun with Moon sashimi is the closest to this we can get but price wise, Sakuraya is better).

Tried their udon soup. Its nice too! Alvin had sashimi mixed rice bowl which is not bad either.

I guess the only minus point about this place is that it is not really accessible. It is not located near any MRT at all. The best way is to drive. Else you got to take at least 1 bus from MRT to reach here. There is a shuttle bus service provided too.

Long belated Birthday Post

Celebrated my 26th birthday last month. Wonderful time spend with friends and family. Like all the presents that all have gotten for me. I've had the most cake for my birthday. 

Shopping vouchers from colleagues which I have already spent on my regular dosages of honey.

Special 3D card and GV Gold tickets from Superfriends :)

Random: Soup at Fosters where I spent celebrating birthday with Superfriends. The rest of the pics are dark and not v nice. BTW the singer in the restaurant is good!

My present (blue) from Alvin! :)

Japanese Hilltop Teppanyaki

Colleagues gathered again for M's farewell dinner. Finally tried the much raved Japanese teppanyaki among my colleagues. Kept wanting to try it but we always ended up at the wrong venue, below the hill instead of on top. 

Parking is aplenty. The restaurant is quite difficult to spot if you have not been there before. Great for a stroll after eating as the view is splendid. But then as it is in Jurong, the view you can see is warehouses. 

It is advisable to make reservations before heading there as there WILL be a queue despite the ulu location. Another reason is because they only have 3 teppenyaki counters which can seat around 10 odd people. To have one counter all to yourself just gather around 10 persons and you be likely to have a private corner.

YUMS Nom nom NOM

The very busy chef who to keep dodging L's camera shots. lol

Must-try garlic rice.

Its all ala carte being served here. We had salmons, scallops, prawn, chicken and veggies. We wanted to try the veal but we don't have room for any. Boohoo. All orders come with complimentary desserts.

Dominos Pizza

Dang dang dang! Been wanting to try Dominos for a long time since I spotted the outlet at West Coast. Received lots of rave that the pizza is much better than pizza hut's.

One fine day after work, we decided to order it for dinner. 

What amazes me is that they adhere to my timing request at 7.30pm and it is raining outside. On the dot. Further more, there is GPS tracking once you started ordering. (I was bathing after I ordered so I wasn't too concerned on the duration). The price is much cheaper than Pizza Hut's and there isn't any delivery charges! Great!

I would love to order from them again! Shall try thin crust next time.
