Wednesday, April 23, 2008 *^*^* Breakfast with Mom *^*^* Went with mom to send my car from servicing early in the morning.. and dropped by Geylang's Yong He's Tou Jiang Da Wang to try them out! I've always been a fan of the Dou Jiang Da Wang which is located near the famous Beef Kway Teow.. thou i don't eat beef.. =p Heard this joint from candice and decided to try it out with mom!! The auntie there very nice, she offered us the menu, gave us space, and suggested things to go for breakfast! polite too! when we ordered tau hui, she asked if we would like peanuts with it, then added "no need extra charge!" lolz.. so, duh!, we had ours with a small clutter of soft peanuts. Soy bean curd and milk for both of us! shared a oily you tiao to soak up and crunch on! oooh.. love love. haha!  Another item i tried was their glutinous rice wraped around peanuts and you tiao - quite nice, but abit bland.. yet to try other items- another time ba! ~ another round of yummy tau hui and you tiao!! =)  ^$^$^ Studying hard for Exams at Parkway ^$^$ ^ JJ came all the way down from bukit timah to study with us!! ^^ hee so happy!! First paper to the Last Exams in NTU!!  We brought her to eat at the Pasta Bar at Parkway!! ~ treated ourselves to their set lunch with our fav Carbonara!! =) in the end, we ate a 2hour long lunch.. hahaha. But we camped at Starbucks to study a whole afternoon till night kaz! ~ heh, self-justification.  I miss their old Carbonara.. this one was alittle wet and too much cream... Maybe bcos we asked them to hold serving the mains till we finished our soup starters.. (Mayb the chef was being considerate cos pasta tends to absorb excess liquid..) and the soup was too tomanto ketchap - which v surprisingly was to candice's taste (she doesn't like raw tomatoes.. so wrong rite?) Why the standard drop? i dunno. But it's a nice place to eat, chat and chill. For dinner, another fav of ours- cali maki from Sakura Jap Fish Market in the basement! =) goes well with Starbucks green tea frap! Candice and Hl is finishing their exams tmr! Jiayou! and Good Luck for those papers! I finish next week.. so can slack and blog.. hahahha =p ^^.^^. Breakfast @ Marine Parade .^^.^^ Fetched mom and bro to the MRT early in the morning cos i had to wake up early to study for exams.. After dropping them, i decided to treat myself with a hearty breakfast! =) Went to Marine Parade Wet Market.. or isit Marine Terrace? (it's not the Parkway side lah..) Been there since young cos mom used to get groceries supplies there.. nowadays, she travels all the way down to Chinatown (currently the temporary one) to buy fish for my fussy grandmother- which also has TERRIFIC food stalls!!.. so.. basically, i know which stalls are good- and this stall- is GOOD =) The Xin Xian (Fresh) Pork Porridge Stall! (Actual name of the stall okie? i didn't make that up..) They've upped their prices again!! ~ $3.50 for pork porridge with century egg- but it's still worth it! look at the amount of liao there!! and the liver slices there are thick and cooked juz right!! unlike the dried miserable strands that mee pok stalls give.. Their porridge is smooth and thick, really really full of flavour and very filling! And it's always sold out by 11a.m., sometimes even before... Another good old stall is the tau hui (soy bean stall) manned by this old couple! the old uncle and auntie cannot get along well one, always bickering! v funny!! but their tau hui is the BEST! Smooth and quality tau hui is good for your skin too! haha. Mom says that she heard her collegues come all the way from the North to try their stall.. and that there was this time when they closed shop and threw away all the stock because the auntie felt that the new stock weren't good quality enough.. (uncle was complaining to my mom that auntie was wasteful) hahaha. So, yupz, i will definitely buy from them whenever i go there. Cos they're a cute couple and they make good tau hui =)  I made Recce pose with the tau hui - he wanted to lick it. So tt's why he's sulking.. and i got my pic! =) #^#^# 大姐最棒！！#^#^# It was a lousy friday lah... scolded and got scolded by someone, then was studying in sch after my elective to wait for bro to end work and have dinner together.. but later bro called to cancel cos he did sth wrong at work thus wasn't in the mood to go out.. But Dajie was free, in school, and accompanied me for dinner =) and he was brillant to suggest Botak Jones - Near Clementi MRT station ~ cos i've been wanting to eat Botak Jones!! - every day hear the advertisement jiggle on radio- lolz. and it's quite reminisent of internship days.. being the only "cafe" food source in Tuas area... Tried the sausage bun! not bad.. would prefer if they toasted the bun leh.. thou now it's really soft.. but the butter is so flavourful- too rich for the bland bread. LOADS of onion!! hahaha.. candice hates onion, so gal, don't order it k? we ended up playing with onion strips cos there was simply.. too much. haha. Packed a portion of their famous fish & chips!! supposed to be for bro, but in the end, he had dinner with his collegue, so i claimed it for lunch the next day!! (bro woke up late, and when he realized, it was mostly gone.. =p) hahahaha i love their tartar sauce which comes with the fish & chips!! and i love that they bothered to package a portion of coleslaw too!! cos i like coleslaw! The fish does taste different from the usual you get at hawker centers..  Think Botak Jone's really good for a casual dinner out. Not too ex that you feel you've over spent.. but there are sacrifices in terms of standards of flavour and etc. It's not only about the food, i guess. Dajie was good company, and the service is outstanding, althou much of it isn't local. But still, outstanding =) And i love that they provide malt vinegar... such a lovely, thoughtful touch. #$#$# BAK GU TEK!! & TAO NAN FOOD! #$#$# 206 project group came for a slpover at my place! this was before exams.. was aiming to finish up the report in one night.. but lolz... oh well, we tried. And now, it's OVER =) Brought them to eat bak gu tek!! my favourite stall which dad brought me! It's near Joo Chait CC =) Bak gu tek on a rainy day.. such warmth! hahaha.. also, we ordered seaseme chicken (1st pic) to go with their famous claypot ba gu tek (2nd pic) and their thai fried beancurd (3rd pic)! Ooh.. thinkin of it makes me wanna go eat there again! hahahaha  We worked really hard okie! think non-stop for the whole evening and all the way till morning... fighting the ZZ monster!! Mom even cooked yummy chicken drumbsticks and bought us bubble tea!! Thanks mummy!! =) in the end, we didn't complete the report, and we all ended up sleeping on the sofa and floor... hahaha.. i'm so proud of my 206 group - adaptive enough to slp anywhere!!  Next morning, for breakfast, we sneaked into candice's and my pri sch- Tao Nan School!! together with Vanessa (who isn't from the sch) We have been planning to do it, and we finally did it! ~ eat pri sch food again!! Some vendors are still the same!! and the food are prepared and taste EXACTLY the SAME!! my fav won ton noodles is still there! and candice's fav chicken rice! I didn't really like pri sch days, but i know i definitely loved the food! hahaha =) |
