Another alternative for good Ba Ku Teh's try... Recommended by Twinny's Hubby. Well, I could feel quite a good amount of MSG in the soup but nevertheless peppery ba ku teh is always comforting to Moi's stomach.

Typical IKEA meals... Moi loves the chicken wings.. yummy!

Christmas Party
This is yet an extremely delayed posting since we are more than 6 months after christmas. The first christmas party with Genie. Well, Genie was really patient to tahan all our blabbering and nonsense. Kekeke! Well, this year we have a special "game" - Follow the lyrics organised by Blossoms. Nobita-kun was definitely "well-prepared". His powerpoint is just so jaw-dropping. Kekeke!
AND applause to Twinny and her Dearie to be able to still put up the christmas tree despite their busy schedule of "handling" little akachan.
Post-note
The christmas tree is still in its full glory, intact at Twinny's abode. Err.. waiting for christmas party for 2010?? =P

Fei Fei
Maybe I have heard raving reviews from many on Fei Fei that when Moi finally tried it, it seems nothing too much fantastic. Heard from Harry that the prawn mee tastes just as good so we ordered 1 prawn mee soup too. Not too bad though Moi prefers the Beach Road's.

SuSe brought me to his favourite childhood's wanton stall at Geylang Bahru. Well, the stall was still around but the taste....
SuSe says taste is not as good as before...
Moi says ok lah... nothing too exceptional

Foong Kee Wanton Mee
It was located just beside Pinnacle. Dropped by there after a photo-shot at Pinnacle. Foong Kee Wanton Mee is Hong Kong style noodles with char Siew. Thin springy noodles distinct from local versions and Moi likes it.

JPot
Moi just couldn't have enough of it. I went back for the 5th time in 2 months time. Hahahaha! The steamboat portion was just nice and we could have it ala-cart instead of stuffing ourselves with buffet. Quality of ingredients are good and fresh not like the usual steamboat place where the fish and meat might not necessary be very fresh. ON top, it has a great variety of soup base to try. I would highly recommend the porridge soup and the Jumbo superior soup stock (no msg) and so yummy yummy. Moi doesn't get the dry-ness in throat after drinking bowls and bowls of soup.
(2) Marinated Chicken: It comes with a tiny quail egg that you need to break it and marinate the chicken with it.
(4) Bean curd skin: Unique tasting. Moi must order minimum 2 every visit. Whisk the beancurd skin into the soup once and take it out immediately. This will retain it crispy-ness and yet allow the soup taste to soak into the skin. Really divine. LOVE IT.
(5) Seafood platter: $30 plus but comes with 6 pcs of big prawns, scallops, fish, clam slices, etc. Very good value for money. And extremely fish.
(8) Fried fish skin: Another "killer" like the bean curd skin. So crispy that it just breaks with every bite.
(9) Dim sum combo: A little disappointing. Size is too miniature. You wonder if the dim sum is for barbie.
(10) Dessert: mango ice: This is like the taiwanese shaved ice dessert. The white fluffy things are all shaved ice. COLD and just melt in your mouth. YUMMY!!
(11) Fish glue : Kids will love this. It felt like cake icing.
(12) Sauce : The sauce is really unique. And they got 3 variations - spicy, garlic chili normal. And it's refillable.

Margaret Drive
Margaret Drive Food Centre is a haven of good food from Char Kway Teow, fried carrot cake, white coffee, chicken rice and popiah. Dropped by the other day wanting to try the Char Kway Teow but it was not open so settled for the fried carrot cake, popiah and white coffee instead. YUMMY!

Curry Fish head
Found this little restaurant along Tan Quee Lan Street, opposite Bugis Junction, by chance. It was super crowded and extremely noisy when we stepped in but the waitress managed to get us a seat, sharing table with another group. Their signature dish is the fish head soup claypot but we decided to try their assam curry fish head which looks really spicy and jia-lat from the menu, instead.
Well, we didn't regret. The Assam curry fish was spicy and nice but more to the dry type of assam base. I still preferred by Nan-nan curry fish head but this is a good alternative too when i happened to be around the area.
Song Fa Bakuteh
I received mixed reviews about Song Fa Bakuteh but SOMEONE commented that this is just as nice as the Ya Hua and so Moi went to give it a shot. AND I was disappointed.
I felt the soup was just peppery and rather lukewarm in spite of emitting steam. The meat was soft but ain't tender. And though I ordered both their pork ribs (排骨) and premium loin ribs (龙骨), I cant tell the difference in taste. The salted vegetable was soggy and on the whole, I wont like to come back again unless I am in that area and I got no other place to go.
In clockwise starting Top left corner : (2) Braised Pig's Intestines $6 (3) loin $6 (4) Rib $5 (5) Dough Fritters $1 (6) Salted vegetables $1

Crabby @ Geylang
SuperModel highly recommended their crab tang hoon and cockles noodle but Moi made the mistake and ordered their crab beehoon @ $30 for two, instead. It tasted quite good too. The crab was really fresh and the crab fresh just came off easily. Pricing was also reasonable as compared to the more famous Sin Huat Seafood also along Geylang.

Battle of the Wanton Mees
Well, Twinny, her dearie and SuSe are a bunch of Wanton-Gong-Gong. So we came over to heartland mall one early morning in search of delicious wanton mee, and thus the battle of the 2 wantons. At the same Food centre, we discovered 2 long queues belonging to 2 different wanton stalls which are just a few stalls away from each other. Doesn't seem to have much of a conflict since both stalls serve rather different style of wanton mee.
51 Ming Fa Wanton Egg Noodles
The noodles contained eggs so it tasted more springy and fragrant. The wantons were also wrapped with the soft dumpling skin instead of the traditional thicker dumpling skin so Moi find the wantons more delicious. The charred chinese char siew was a little disappointing though, Moi thought there was too much fat and the meat served in chunk, were a little tough.
Yi Shi jia Shu Shi
Their noodles has a good smooth texture and coupled with the thinly sliced char siew tasted really nice too. With $2.50, they gave generous portion of wantons. Moi found the ketchup taste more "common" to appeal.
Verdict : 3 votes : 2 votes (Ming Fa : Yi Shi jia Shu Shi)
It was a closed shave as twinny casted the critical vote for Ming Fa preferring over their noodles. Well, I supposed it's more of a personal preference as to whether you prefer the black sauce type or the ketchup type.

OldTown White Coffee
Went BIG SPLASH during one HOT Afternoon, coincidentally, the same afternoon that Radio 91.3FM roadshow was onz... And SuSe was really all gee to see Rod Monteiro and The Married Men. YUP!! He is their FAN, so dun you dare switch his radio channels when he is tuned in The Married Men.... =P Alas, SuSe was so shy that he was busy trying to "escape" from the roadshow "tugging" and thus we ended up in Mark Lee's OldTown White Coffee. Well, this place seems like a fusion between the typical kaya bread kopitam and Hongkong Cafe.
Food was nothing too memorable but still platable. Service was blended and staff were clearly not well-trained. Moi felt that it was rather disorganised as the dedicated queue line was unclear (just beside the payment queue), so some customers were "jumping" queue unknowingly by walking straight in and sat on available tables. The ordering pattern was also a little confusing as servers did not provide menus promptly. In fact, we just ticked off the paper menu found at the table and passed it to a waitress. We only knew menus were available much later when we saw her providing menus to others. Well, the dinning experience will be like a air-con foodcourt one where you come fill in your tummies with reasonable food at reasonable price and just leave. 
Moi's Nissin noodle was very maggie. SuSe quite liked his Nasi Rendan. Not much complaints as he whipped up the whole plate. * SLURP!! * The names of the drinks were rather unique but taste was just ordinary. NaYang Memorably was coffee and Xi Mut Milk Tea was tea. Hahahhaa! Obvious? Anywhere we were trying hard to figure what is Xi Mut and whether it was a kind of NUT or plant. Well Xi Mut in cantonese means stocking or pantyhose. It was called such because the tea was made by straining through the cloth bag over many many times and causing the cloth bag to turn brown yellowish like the stocking. It was supposed to be very smooth tasting. I enjoyed my Xi Mut milk tea. ^_-)
Well, one good thing is that at present, there is only service charge and no GST at OldTown White Coffee. I wont specifically come but if I happen to be around, I wont mind dinning here.

Piao Ji
Twinny has been raving about this fish soup porridge on the second floor of Amoy Street Food Centre so Moi as the foodie guru must go and try and blog about it, right? * wink *
Well had thought that it won't be crowded on a saturday afternoon but I was damn wrong. The queue was around 10 plus people already when we reach and the queue movement was like snail-crawling. And I thought fish slices, you just poached with hot water will do. The wait unfortunately was a good half an hour.
Maybe because of the wait, my anticipation and expectation for this famous fish soup stall went up. The soup was FULL of MSG though nice. I would say the fish and ingredients were very very fresh and cooked just nice. Not over-cooked or too raw. The sauce was rather unique with ginger, beans looking like dou ban jiang and self-made chili. So it tasted a little spicy, a little sweet, a little sour, a little of everything.
This is slightly more expensive because the fish is premium type not the usual type.
