Small Potatoes Make The Steak Look Bigger

The initial plan was to get some dinner along the little food centre beside Allson Hotel and across the road from Bras Brasah Complex, but since I had to be in that vicinity, I couldn't resist making my way back to Benten Cafe and grabbing their blue cheese and honey pizza again. So this is really going to be something of a two part dinner. I really wanted to know if the pizza was going to be as good as the first time round and if it's a place I could reliably (loosely used here) come back for more in the future.


As it turns out fortunately, the pizza was still as good as the last visit, but things were definitely a little different. The blue cheese toppings felt marginally less generous, but that still meant that there was quite a bit of it. This time round, the honey was given in a separate jug and was definitely more than the previous time where it could barely be tasted. The stinky blue cheese and honey paired up just like best of friends with each other. For a selfish reason, I hope this place doesn't close down so that I can always come back for this pizza whenever I feel like it.

Moving forward into the second part, it was a stall call Victoria Street Bak Kut Teh. I wasn't thinking of bak kut teh at all since I remembered seeing that they had an assorted variety of items for kuey chap as well, which was what I really had in mind. In the end, it was a plate of assorted items, some tau kee (bean curd skins) and a bowl of peppery pig stomach soup which was generously filled with boiled garlic. The pieces of pig stomach were stewed for so long that they were actually not chewy anymore and certain parts of them looked like they were going to disintegrate. Soup tasted peppery and flat. I don't know if this place is famous or good for what they sell but I probably wouldn't be patronizing it again. There was really nothing very special about them all, but I suppose they did an adequate the job of just filling up.
