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.

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...

Dian Xiao Er @ Downtown East - Herbalicious Roasted Duck

Encountered some chefs from Dian Xiao Er at a pub who passionately recommended their dishes, prompting a visit to their Whitesand outlet. Full transparency: I paid for the meal, and here's an honest review. Arriving on a Thursday evening, we were promptly seated with no queue. The waiter directed us to order by ticking the set menu manually or opting for ala carte through a QR scan. Caught off guard by the lack of a set price indication, both my girlfriend and I resorted to googling their website for details. Images download from Dian Xiao Er Website. We settled on the "Healthier Set," and the dishes arrived swiftly, served with a smile. Now, onto the review: Angelica Herb Roasted Duck: A highlight among all the dishes. Tender meat (Drum & Thigh area) with a mild herbal aroma. The sauce, when drizzled over the rice, is heavenly. Personally felt the skin lacked crispiness but the herbal and tender meat make up for it. Soup of the Day: Fish maw soup that stood out for...

L32 Handmade Noodles @ Tampines 1 - QQ Noodles with Super Spicy Chilli Ban Mian

In the midst of a rainy January day in Singapore, my girlfriend and I found ourselves yearning for a warm, comforting meal. Since we were in Tampines Central, she suggested the renowned Ban Mian at Tampines 1, a subsidiary of the legendary L32 Ban Mian in Geylang. Upon arrival, we were met with the familiar sight of a lengthy queue. Patiently, we waited for about 20 minutes before finally collecting our dishes. We ordered the pork balls noodles and Ban Mian dried version with an added chicken cutlet. For the soup version, we were treated to a delectably savory and slightly sweet broth, complemented by a touch of raw fresh egg. In the dried version, my girlfriend noted that the sauce leaned towards the sweet side for her taste. The Ban Mian noodles, thicker than those at regular stalls, maintained a satisfying texture. The unique feature of almost raw egg drew mixed opinions, as I found it acceptable with its 20% cooked consistency, while my girlfriend wasn't a fan. The chicken cu...
