顺发潮州沙爹米粉 (ABC Market)

ABC Market has been famous for its hawker food.

The place has been renovated not too long along.

It is located somewhere behind the old IKEA.

This day, I decided to give the satay beehoon a try.

Satay beehoon is not just beehoon with satay gravy (for the knowledge of those who do not know). There are ingredients including kangkong, prawn, pork, taupok, taugeh, 'hum', cuttlefish and sometimes pig liver.

Since there is a queue all the time, I assume the satay beehoon must have some standard la... I was attracted by the word '潮州' and hence, curious to know just how different it is from other satay beehoon I ate before.

This stall is self-service.
Like my usual order, I will ask to omit the cuttlefish, 'hum' and taugeh. Never like taugeh at all. I requested for additional sauce and that's how it looks.

Overall, it was a little disappointing cos it was a little too blend and the gravy was a little too watery.

Rating :&&&

It is not easy to find a good satay beehoon stall. So far, my fav satay beehoon stall is found in AMK Central Hawker (Blk 724), corner unit, facing a second-hand book shop.

Amici Authentic Italian Restaurant

Amici has set lunches that starts from $8. Sounds good?

My colleagues and I checked out the Holland V outlet during lunch one day.

The restaurant was not crowded at all when we reached abt 10 mins before 1pm. It has an open kitchen and you can see the chef in action.

Because it is open, it is best that you sit further from that area, unless you want to be reminded of what you ate for the rest of your day.

The set lunches come with a soup, bread and coffee/tea. No dessert :(

The above is mussle chowder. It tasted good although I do not like to eat mussle.

This is my main dish - Baked Dory Fillet in Pouch. The outer aluminiun is the pouch that contains the fillet, vegetable and stock.

The portion was just good for me, although some of the my colleagues think that the portion is a little too small.

Total damage : $10.90 (before taxes)

Sushi Tei @ Holland V

Had lunch at Holland V Sushi Tei as I did not want to waste the vouchers that I have.

There is an open kitchen for the 'raw food' section. Look at this chef, he was operating on a big fish!

I really like deep-fried food. Anything deep fried is delicious. haha.

The soft shell crab was cripsy but a bit too oily.

And I also like curry. Yeah. It's sinful stuff. I am always reminded of the japanese curry which I did not manage to eat when I went to Osaka many years ago. It was a road side stall and the curry simply smell so good.

Although the curry ramen does not seem like a huge portion, it was rather filling. There was also quite a large serving of potato, carrot and onion.

Overall, the food selection was interesting and food quality was good.

I shall be back for more Sushi Tei...

Chocolate Fondue

F invited P, JL, D and me to her place for a Fruit Chocolate Fondue session. Yummy!

I was hoping to see the chocolate fountain but it turned out to be this cute little thingie (which looks like an aromatherapy burner) ....

First, we melted the cocoa block in a separate bowl over a bowl of hot water.

These fruits are ready to be fondued - banana, chiku, strawberry and Korean pear.

Hmm... we also had mashmallow. Forgot to take pic of it.

Next, we heat up the chocolate by placing a tealight below. Then dip the cut fruits into the chocolate.

It was GOOD!
