新路潮洲鱼圓粿條麵湯 (Xin Lu Teochew Fishball Noodles), Mei Ling Food Centre

新路潮洲鱼圓粿條麵湯 (Xin Lu Teochew Fishball Noodles), mee pok

Have noticed this stall (#02-05 Mei Lin Food Centre, 159 Mei Chin Road) and its queue in the past times I was here so decided to try today.

The chilli option came with ketchup which I didn't like. Had a couple of mee pok clumps. Fishballs were nice and bouncy but I prefer the flavour and texture from Hong Yong Chao Zhou Yu Yuan Guo Tiao Mian and Li Xin. Otherwise, it was an okay-ish bowl of fishball noodles.

BatterCatch, Great World

BatterCatch, Great World

First time at BatterCatch (#01-106 Great World, 1 Kim Seng Promenade, tel : +65 6485 3841).

BatterCatch, logan tea oasis

Their Longan Tea Oasis drink tasted like some caramel sweetened bubble tea drink thing. Rosemary's entirely decorative. I'm not sure if there was even any tea in this.

BatterCatch, haddock and chips

This was haddock and chips. The buttery mushy peas was delicious. Love their dill & pickled infused tartare sauce. Curry sauce was also not bad.

BatterCatch, haddock and chips

The fish was not as good tasting as the one at Smiths. It's about as expensive though, considering cost to portions.

BatterCatch, floury batter

Batter is a little thick and floury around some parts.

BatterCatch, pan seared barramundi

Grilled barramundi tasted like it was frozen fish. Skin was chewy, not crispy. Not impressive as grilled fishes went.

BatterCatch, buttery mashy peas

Liked the peas enough to get another portion. Out of everything we had, this was probably my favourite. Tasted like lots of butter with plenty of green pea flavour. Would come back just for these.

Next Chapter (樂膳房), crispy chicken cutlet curry noodle

Have gotten kopi peng a few times from this shop (#01-93, 304 Ubi Avenue 1) before. This was the first time getting food. Crispy chicken cutlet curry noodle. Very crunchy freshly fried chicken. Curry's decent.

Pizza Gorgonzola e salsiccia and honeyed baked Scamorza from Casa Vostra @ Raffles City

Casa Vostra, pizza gorgonzola e salsiccia

Back at Casa Vostra. Not bad tasting Gorgonzola e salsiccia pizza except for the Gorgonzola. I'm not even sure I could taste it. A bit disappointing I'd admit. As far as the taste went, this was just a sausage and onion pizza - a decent one at that.

Casa Vostra, scamorza honey

Tried their baked scamorza cheese. Kind liked it. Chewy, salty and smoky with a light sweetness from honey. There's also a bit of spice from black pepper and I seem to recall tasting parsley.

Dry mixed seafood noodle with milk broth from Hai Kah Lang (海脚人)

Hai Kah Lang (海脚人), dry mixed seafood noodle

Back at Hai Kah Lang. I've had something similar back at the branch at Taman Sentosa with clear broth instead of the one with milk. Topping of seafood appears to have differences. But those springy noodles and the milky broth with 花雕 were what mattered. The seafood quality's decent but not impressive so 21.90SGD (approx. 68MYR) is an experience I'd rather not repeat. Will stick to the sliced fish bowls which are cheaper the next time.
