HARUMA CHICKEN

Tried out Haruma Kentucky Powder this afternoon. Strangely, the thing do not smell as fragrant as I remembered it to be.

Overall still taste ok.

HAWKER DELIGHTS

Have not been posting for a while, since I have been so busy with the shop.  These are some shots accumulated over the weeks.  Hawker delights.

Ba Chor Mee Sua from Redhill Food Centre $2.50

Poh Piah from Maxwell Food Centre.  Friend's recommendation, it is good.

Fried Kway Teow from Zion Road Food Centre. Not bad though I find it a little oily.

Fried Carrot Cake from Zion Road Food Centre, and my friend Kenneth's Fried Beef Rice.

CHICKEN EXPERIMENT

On a boring weekend, you can always find something interesting to do, like experimenting in the kitchen.
We bought two packets of chicken drumlets.  Both tried different recipe. 

I won't bother to state the recipe, since there is nothing much to rave about.  It is not a disaster, but it is not a super duper chicken drumlets too.

Guess which is mine?

BOILED GROUND NUTS

Well when you have nothing better to do, you can buy a big bag of raw ground nuts and start boiling them.  That is what I did this weekend, and it took me 9hrs to boil it soft!! Yeah, you read correctly, 9 hours! Hahahaha..

 

I sure need a pressure cooker.

EXPERIMENT - PANCAKE

Our first attempt at chewy home made pancake.

Ingredients used: plain flour, glutinous rice flour, sugar, corn starch, water, peanuts.

Taste pretty good.

Our next attempt will be the savory version.

DISAPPOINTING DINNER

Back to Redhill again after work. We knocked off on the dot today, so we are early. We decided to try our luck to see if we can catch the tau kua(beancurd) stall before it's closed. Yeah we did, it is open.
I noticed there is a price difference today. The new pricing is as follows:
Beancurd and Ngor Hiang $0.80 each
Fishball $0.30 each

Greedy me as usual, ordered 2 beancurd, 2 Ngor Hiang and 2 Fishball. Strangely, today the Ngor Hiang is not as nice. Did he change supply or today is not up to form? Anyway, it is kinda disappointing.















A close up shot of the beancurd and Ngor Hiang.

We also tried the White version of the carrot cake. Hahaha, it doesn't look very white, but taste ok. I think we prefer the Black version anytime.

REDHILL ADVENTURE

And again, we head over to Redhill food centre for dinner last night. To my surprise, the famous fried beancurd stall is open! Yeah, I finally get to try it. The stall sells mainly Fried Bean Curd ($0.80) as their main attraction, they also have Ngor Hiang ($0.80) and Fish Balls (2 for $0.50).

Since it is my first time trying, I ordered 1 piece each, turns out the Ngor Hiang is fantastic. Beancurd is nice too, fish ball is ok, not horrid, neither is it fantastic.

This is definitely one dish that you can order to add to your other main dishes. I still can't get over the Ngor Hiang, the skin is so crispy, light and fragrant, so fresh!  The beancurd is fried, but I saw some gravy in the pan, perhaps that is why it is crispy and yet it locks in the moisture. Very unique.

This stall rest on Monday, even on normal weekdays, you got to go early to avoid disappointments.

Next, we have our favorite dessert. KK queued about 10mins to get it. My favorite Tau Suan, so nice, it is not too sweet or starchy. Yummy! And all these for $1.20 only.

Look out for the uncle who does the order taking and packing, he is very entertaining. hahahaha..

After dessert, I am still hungry (yeah Ms. Piggy!), I saw the braised duck rice stall to be quite popular, so went to order a braised duck rice set to share with KK. Turns out pretty normal. Edible but have tasted better ones. Set includes egg, beancurd, peanuts and braised duck meat of course, and a bowl of soup for $3.50.

So what is next? I saw the satay stall selling satays for only 40 cents each, the BBQ chicken wings at $1.00, and the rojak stall BBQ Tau Pok looks good too. Most likely will be trying that on my next visit.

COCKLES

Cockles that my mum had just now.

GADO GADO

My favorite gado gado from Harbour Front hawker centre (next to bus interchange). Stall name "Haji Daliman Korner" . Fresh and nutty, and they have potatoes, beancurd, beansprouts, tempeh and egg in it. Love it. Yummy, a must try.

* not purely vegetarian as it consist of fish cracker.

CHWEE KUAY

One of the stuff I eat for my breakfast. 4 pc for $1.20.  Somehow I feel that the olden days chwee kuay are much nicer. This modern day version has sesame seeds added to the chai poh, which is something that I really dislike. But somehow, everywhere I go, I can't find any without sesame seeds added. Argh!!

FRIED CARROT CAKE

Fried carrot cake from Alexandra Village Food Centre. It is soft and fresh. One of the best I have ever eaten. Thanks to my friend for the recommendation.

BALESTIER ROJAK

The famous rojak from Balestier. OOps! I forgot to note the stall unit number. This is the best rojak I have tried ever. Usually I do not take the pineapple, but for this, we wiped out the whole plate CLEAN. Hahaha..
