Alexandra Village Food Centre

Dinner after work with my boyf. My work place is at Changi Business Park, so you can imagine what time it was when we arrived at Queenstown MRT. Most of the stalls were closed but we found this stall which looks pretty good. Can’t remember the stall name, but it goes something like “Hokkien Mee, Char Kway Teow, Orh Lua” or something like that.

No kidding! They named the stall what it sells.

We had Char Kway Teow, which was good! 😀 Thumbs up for this.

You can see that the kway teow isn’t too dry, yet not too oily. Lots of tau gay (beansprouts), egg, lup cheong (Chinese sausage), and hum (cockles)!

However, the Orh Lua pales very much in comparison.

Way too much starchy lumps, and not enough eggs & oyster. And the starchy lumps were really terrible, tasted abit like glutinous rice.

Desserts was the best part because we had good ol’ Ice Kachang! The boyf added (extra) sweet corn just because I love them. Aww.

This was from Mei Le Yuan (美乐园). I like how desserts here are so afforable & yummy!

Sushi Tei @ Tampines 1

Treated my ex-colleague to dinner just after I got my first pay cheque. Heh. She’s a fan of Japanese food so we opted for Sushi Tei.

There weren’t a lot of people at 7.30PM on a weekday, probably because of the recent Japan disaster that led many to avoid eating Japanese food. I believe there must have been stringent checks in place so I guess it was safe. Just for two ladies, I must say we ordered quite a spread. I’ve classified them broadly into the “must order”, “average”, and “blah”. So you know what to do (;

Towels at 20cents each.

Apricot Juice for her and hot green tea (free) for me.
Price: $3.60++

Hotate Teriyaki – Must Order!
Price: $6.00++
Drenched in awesome teriyaki sauce, the scallops came piping hot!

Salmon Mentaiyaki – Must Order!
Price: $12.00++

Agedashi Tofu – Average!
Price: $5.00++

Umaki – Average!
Price: $6.50++
Everything tastes damn good when served piping hot, same goes for this. But I think the omelette (tamago) was a little too thick and taste was bland, sort of covering the goodness of the eel (unagi).

Salmon Sashimi – Average!
Price: $8.00++
Sashimi was pretty fresh but I’m not a fan so I can’t comment much. R says it was a tad too thick though.

Fried Oyster Sushi – Average!
Price: $4.80++

Green plate
Price: $4.10++

Pink plate
Price: $3.50++

Total bill: $53.90 + 10% + 7% = $63.44

Newton Food Centre

Had a great dinner meet up with my fav girls at Newton after work! Forgot which stalls these dishes were from, but we certainly had a sumptuous dinner. My favourite is the Big Prawn Noodles! 😀

By the end of the day, the broth at the bottom of the pot must be so gao (rich)! Slurps. Food galore to follow.
