Eleven Fingers (Eu Kee) Scissors Curry Rice @ Bugis - Gluey Messy Delightful Ka Li Png

Venturing to Eleven Fingers (Eu Kee) Scissors Curry Rice over the weekend around 2 pm, I was greeted by a bustling queue, a testament to the popularity of this establishment. With little choice but to join the line, I found myself pleasantly surprised by the swift movement, taking only about 5 minutes despite four patrons ahead of me.

Opting for the standard fare featuring pork chop, Lor Bak, Chap Cai, and egg generously adorned with an array of gravies, I embarked on my culinary adventure.

Now, onto the review:

While the appearance of this dish may not win any beauty contests, it's a prime example of not judging a book by its cover. The medley of spice, savory, and sweet flavors harmoniously dancing on the palate is an absolute delight.

Pork Chop: Delicately seasoned, delivering a satisfying savory kick and a pleasant chewiness to the texture.

Lor Bak: Offers a hearty chewiness, lacking the melt-in-your-mouth sensation but still holding its own in terms of taste.

Chap Cai: Boasting a near-melting tenderness, it practically dissolves in the mouth with each bite.

Eggs: Deep-fried to perfection, imparting a delightful softness upon every bite.

Now, the million-dollar question: How does one tackle such a messy dish? Simply spoon a mouthful of rice and ingredients, and revel in the explosion of flavors. The subtle sweetness from one of the gravies beautifully complements the savory components.

In essence, despite its unassuming appearance, this dish is a true gem, offering a symphony of flavors that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy.

Koung's Wanton Mee @ Geylang East - The Famous WTM Shifted Location

I've been a loyal customer of Koung's Wanton Mee for years, ever since they were situated along Geylang Road. Today marks my first visit to their new location in Geylang East. Upon arrival at the bustling coffeeshop around 12:15 PM, it was evident that many diners were eager to savor their wanton mee. After a brief wait, I managed to secure a seat and promptly ordered a bowl of the $6 version, opting for extra noodles. However, the waiting process proved to be quite challenging, as I ended up waiting a total of 45 minutes. Regrettably, this delay made me nearly 40 minutes late for my lunch break at work. Now, onto the review: Noodles: Unfortunately, the noodles fell short of my expectations. They were slightly clumped together, indicating that the water used for boiling them may not have been changed. While the texture was acceptable, the distinctive lard flavor that I remembered from previous visits seemed lacking. Char Siew: The char siew, which was previously marinat...

Shi Nian Pig Trotter Rice @ Chai Chee - Meat That's Tender and Fats Melt in Mouth!

Formerly known as Ling Ji and now rebranded as Shi Nian, this stall is a go-to spot for delicious pig trotter rice. Located in a food court presumably owned by the "Bai Nian" brand, I always find myself torn between two favorite dishes here, Bai Nian Yong Tau Foo and Shi Niang Pig Trotter Rice. Arriving around 7:40 PM, I was pleased to find no queue and promptly ordered two bowls, one with more fatty meat for my girlfriend's preference and one with lean meat for myself. **Fatty Meat Bowl** The lady serving us was friendly and generously accommodated our request for extra chili. Our order arrived in less than 2 minutes, allowing us to dig in swiftly after snapping a quick photo. **Lean Meat Bowl** Now, onto the review: Pork Trotter: Cooked to perfection, the meat was tender, and the fats melted in the mouth. The dish strikes a balance, avoiding an overly salty taste. It's truly some of the best-braised pork available at such an affordable price in a hawker setting. P...

Xiang Ji Lor Mee - Ingredient Packed Tasty Lor Mee at Old Airport Road

"Hawker stall "Xiang Ji Lor Mee" is one of the three renowned Lor Mee stalls at Old Airport Hawker Centre. Arriving during the bustling lunch hour, I was pleasantly surprised to find only five people in the queue. Joining the queue, it took me approximately 12 minutes before I could place my order. Opting for the $5 version, being a self-proclaimed 'Ah Pui' (Chubby Guy), I appreciated the added ingredients, especially the Shredded Batang fish. Interestingly, the stall still offers a $3 version, but note that it doesn't include the Shredded Batang Fish. Now, let's dive into the review: Gravy: A delightful mix of vinegar and chili elevates the dish to pure happiness. The spicy kick from chili sambal and chili padi, the tanginess from the vinegar, and the savory touch from the five-spice dark sauce create a symphony of flavors. It's worth noting that the gravy tends to get a bit watery towards the end. Noodles: No alkaline taste detected. Although sl...
