Hidden in some small Muslim coffee shop in Jurong, my ex-boss Mr Xie recommended this Ayam Penyet stall. Ayam Penyet is a well-known Indonesian dish where the chicken is flattened and served with rice, chilli and other accompanying things.
They serve the Ayam Penyet in traditional wooden bowls. I wouldn't wanna know the extent of the microbial growth on the bowl so i'll choose to ignore it...haha...Anyway, the Ayam Penyet comes with a potent serving of chilli (VERY POTENT!). Every time i eat this i feel my lips and throat burning with a tingling sensation.
Soh Kee in Jurong West Market sells the best chicken porridge and raw fish! Even though the stall owners a bit 'attitude' lah, but i still go. I believe my eldest sister also brought Crispy here for a try before.
This is their raw-fish dish. The fish strips are aplenty and doesn't have the fishy aftertaste. They must only purchase very fresh fish.
Their porridge is cooked to the point that its all gooey and starchy, which i like. The best part though, is the chicken. They certainly don't scrimp and save on the sesame oil! Anyway, it could've been just a little less salty. But kudos on how the tender the meat is!
Also travelled from one end of Singapore to the other to Bedok, where i have long been craving for the famous Bak Chor Mee! The last time i had this was in 2002, so imagine how long i've waited...
The difference is that their noodle comes in the soup version. You can see all the minced meat floating on the soup. A sip of this soup brings you to soup heaven....haha... very flavourful and sweet. Best bak chor mee in Singapore...but it only opens at night, so you gotta go after dark.
After Bak Chor Mee, drove to Bishan to have dessert. My favourite yoghurt chain, Yami Yoghurt topped with Crazin. Not every Yami Yoghurt is good though, don't patronise the one in Jurong Point cos the yoghurt doesn't taste as good. The one in Bishan has a long queue. Its yoghurt is thick, cold and has a good flavour, compared to the dilute and watery version from Jurong Point.
My old office seat - Untidy, cramped, over-crowded.
My new office seat - SPANKING NEW!!! wahahaha....
Sixian loves sashimi, so she deserted us for a while to join the sashimi queue and came back with this dish of goodies to share : Salmon, tuna, salmon belly and squid. I didn't dare eat much for fear of stomach upset ( i always get diarrhea after too much raw meat), but the fish were all juicy and delicious! Following this, we also had fresh cold prawns, mussels and crabs, which were all tasteless.
They do have some very creative food, like the rock melon wrapped with thin smoked beef, that was great. The beef satay was tender and flavourful. The other two sides , seabass and chicken on this dish were alright.
I had a bowl of Cream of Pumpkin after the first round, but it was nothing compared to this Winter Melon Chicken Soup! Very very soothing, reminiscent of mom's cooking. I still prefer oriental soup :)
