Crab Party

Met up with Classmates for a mini “crab party” at Crab party

We ordered:

Special wild vegetable with Kailan

Chilli Crab

Black Pepper Crab

Salted Egg Yolk Crab

Crab Bee Hoon Soup

Verdict: 9/9 of us will return!!!

I think my favourite was still the Crab Bee Hoon Soup and the Chilli Crab.
1) Soup was not too rich and thick and had a little burnt taste to it. Comparable to Melben ( Not recommended for takeaways)
2) Chilli Crab Sauce was not watery and quite flavourful 🙂
3) Highly Recommended especially if you have a big group and looking for an air-conditioned round table Zhi Char restaurant 🙂
4) Would want to come back to try their other Crab dishes

Another Exciting place 🙂
We decided to check out here but our only regret : should have brought more people along with us!!!

So what we liked about it:

Grouper Fish Steamboat

Close up of the Fish

Sambal Kang Kong

Special Toufu

Pig Trotters

Verdict: 2/2 of us will return

Fish broth was really good, and the fish was super fresh! super bouncy texture.
We would want to come back to order the salted egg yolk pork ribs!!! The Pig Trotters are ok ..
Servers were very nice and kind 🙂

I do apologise for the delay in posts!

Been quite busy with the festive occasion and caught up with some school work as well.

Merry Christmas Everyone!! 🙂 Hope that this festive season did brighten up your year!

Anyway, the next place that I will be talking about .. well I would say is a new-found zhi char place that my parents found by chance, and hence .. it has been included in our list of ‘favourite zhi char’ in Singapore. ..

This place is quite .. well driving there would be easy to get there! because it’s quite a .. small corner off the main road .. but do look out for it or try it if you are in the vicinity!

The actual location

This is the shop front

we met up with aunty I .. and she had to contribute some dishes for her family’s dinner 🙂 (I think it’s quite a good concept that each sibling in their family takes turn to buy dinner for everyone ) So my mum recommended this place to her. For our own dinner as well, we also bought back and we had :

3 types of egg spinach

Salted Egg Yolk Crab

Sweet and Sour Pork

Assam Fish

Fish slices with vegetables

The next dish that I would say is the signature dish and highly recommended especially if you like bean curd, would be this fried bean curd!

Egg Bean curd with turnips

Verdict: 5/5 of us definitely would return here to take away/eat again!

The food is very agreeable with all the fussy ones in my family!
The place is run by this couple, husband the chef and wife takes on the supporting role of waitress and cashier.

The crab is very different from the other types of salted egg yolk crabs I had . I would say different in a good way! Because the meat itself is pretty succulent and yes the whole marinade is not too saltish for all my family members.

The sweet and sour pork is also quite decent. It is still ‘crispy’ despite being drenched in sauce.

The Assam fish was very well received with my parents! They said the sourness was just the way they liked it.

The vegetables both spinach and fish sliced one was very well done. The fish slice one had the ‘wok hei’ (the magnitude of the fire to cook the dish was just nice) and the other one’s ‘soup’ was pretty tasty as well. 🙂

I think it’s just this place, the menu always have new items? because the owner does try to come up with new dishes apart from his signature ones. I quite like that they are constantly trying out new things and would really make you want to go back there.

It is overall decently priced and affordable 🙂

This place that I am going to blog about is one of my long time favourite zhi char places that I patronized since young. Its one of those places that even in the heat, we won’t mind making a trip down here just to eat it. Over the years, the workers change, but the standard doesn’t.

So today another time of ta bao, we would always order :

Fish Slices with Kai lan

“gui fei chicken

Sweet and Sour Pork

Malaysian style Hokkien Mee

Steamed eggs with 3 types of Egg

: close up: stuffed chicken with paste

Prawn Bee Hoon

Verdict: 4/4 of us will return definitely.

Although today’s soup was just a little too saltish, but I am not a prawn lover for starters, but I will gladly slurp up the soup. Just for your information, the soup is so red, not because it is spicy hot, but I think the long hours of boiling the stock over and over that made it so red. I would recommend this dish only because you don’t see this else where. This is not just any bowl of prawn noodles. It is REALLY DIFFERENT from the local ones from the hawker centres. There is just something special about the stock. and you know the vegetable swimming inside, they are not nua (soft). They are still CRUNCHY!!!!

The fish slice with veg as well – the stalk is CRUNCHY!!!

Sweet and sour pork without a doubt – still crispy on the outside despite being drowned in sauce.

I know from the picture, the eggs just look quite gross. I can tell you my picture and presentation of the dish does not do justice to the taste of the eggs. They were one of the first restaurants in our zhi char list, that managed to steam their eggs so perfectly.

The chicken was something new that we tried. It was crispy (because of the skin) and nice and chewy inside. Something different from the norm 🙂

Hong Kong Street Chun Kee (Bukit Merah) 香港街珍記

After church, because I had to rush back to complete my studying, so i told mum if we could just take away something near by for dinner.

So she suggested this zhi char place at bukit merah (was formally from
Ang Mo Kio- one of my favourite zhi char favourite) to ta bao 🙂

Entrance : Spot the celebrity!

if you enter from the back …

I can’t help but wonder why they like to call themselves Hong Kong Street zhi char when in hong kong, their ‘zhi char’ style is so different from like Singapore’s style .. But that aside, sure why not?

So we ordered:

Mince pork with long beans – Si ji dou

Fish Slice bee hoon 🙂 ❤ much!

Special Toufu

Daily Special: Pork patties

Verdict: 3/3 of us will return here. I love the fish bee hoon soup – the soup is flavoured with tinges of chinese wine 🙂 very yummy on a rainy day 🙂 The pork patties, first time i am trying it and ittastes like mcdonald’s breakfast sausage patties but not as saltish and with sauce 🙂
toufu was just ok .. no biggie .. long beans too ..
will return for the dry sam lo hor fun ( plain white noodles fried with bean sprouts and fish slices ❤ )
