Double cheeseburgers, burritos and country fried steak from Muchachos

I read that Muchachos is closing sometime towards the end of July. Which is a pity because I kinda dug their California burrito and breakfast burrito - a couple of things they have on menu that didn't have coriander/cilantro. But we didn't head down today because they were closing. I wanted to try their cheeseburger which I've been meaning to for ages. Now that we have, I've shifted from that sense of pity to something akin to sadness that they're closing.

Because what they did was nice. Cheese, nice coarse beef patties, pickles and lettuce without excessive saucing.

They didn't do fancy which was kinda what I've been looking for. Was it coincidental that this reminded me of the burger at the defunct One Night Only and Muchachos was part of them? Maybe I'm over reading this.

Also tried their country fried steak which I've also been curious about for some time.

Meat's tender, well done and has a bit of beefiness underneath a crust that reminded me of fried chicken. Quite peppery. The one thing I thought could have been improved was their gravy. Would have liked it richer and less starchy.

A couple of weeks later......

I knew I would be missing these so we came back for them. In the event that Muchachos never re-emerges somewhere else in the future, we'd have these last memories of them.

The breakfast burrito with maple syrup no less.

And the California burrito with hot sauce.

Nasi lemak from Aziz Jaffar Muslim Food

Decent quality nasi lemak from Aziz Jaffar Muslim Food. Sweet and spicy sambal as per usual and savoury coconut rice which was adequately salted for flavour. Didn't find anything else particularly outstanding but I'd say they're an viable option for Malay styled nasi lemak at Chinatown's food centre if one has a hankering for a plate.

A recent bowl of mee pok from Liang Seng Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle (樑成香菇肉脞麵)

So the auntie at the stall confirmed that they don't do Sundays anymore.

The Ceylonese Affair, Mei Ling Food Centre

Came across The Ceylonese Affair (#02-17 Mei Lin Food Centre, 159 Mei Chin Road) recently. The stall does only briyani and appam. 

It's actually not bad tasting. That being said, it was different from the more flavourful briyani that most of us might be used to. The rice was spiced but I'd call the flavour infusion gentle. 

This was their butter chicken briyani which featured their fried chicken with butter chicken sauce. Understandably, most of the flavour came from the sauce. Came with achar on the side. Those brown bits scattered on top were fried onions. Nice.

Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee, Stirling Road

Have been here (#01-1133, 170 Stirling Road, tel : +65 8958 1133) a few times for their triple espresso con panna on the go but never a sit in until today.

Sparkling coffee's not bad.

Lightly aromatic, not thick or full bodied. But good drinking in a hideout from the scorching heat.

Noci Bakehouse, Suntec City

Sister to Noci Pasta Bar located at the end of Suntec closer to Millenia Walk (#01-604, Suntec City Tower 3, 3 Temasek Boulevard). They're at the spot that used to be Bakery 1946.

What's enticing about the bakery are their salt bread - their equivalent to Japanese shio pan. These here were larger. Got the one with black sesame and butter.

The insides had sweet black sesame paste and butter. Nice! 

The cream salt bun is not to be missed.
