A take away from 328 Katong Laksa

This didn't taste very different from eating in. Which was kinda nice. The noodles and the ingredients were still blanched in and drained of their laksa gravy before they're packed. The rest of the laksa gravy was packed separately from the rest of the bowl so one got pretty much the same soak time for the noodles.

Kay Lee Roast delivery

Same order as what I ate when I first tried Kay Lee some years ago. Char siew and roasted duck rice. This was from the outlet at Bukit Merah View. I specified breast meat for the duck hoping that I wouldn't get any bones but there were still bones in it. That simply meant the stall didn't give a shit.

It's not pretty looking but I suppose in times like this, presentation and its preservation isn't the point. Didn't taste that great too. If I had to pick a reason why I didn't enjoy it much, it would be because of the char siew which didn't taste like how I remembered it. The caramelized flavour wasn't there. Definitely not as good as the first time which isn't acceptable for Kay Lee.

Home delivery zi char from Sin Hoi Sai

First time getting delivery from Sin Hoi Sai. They were pretty expensive. Almost $72 for four dishes and two portions of rice. But we hadn't eaten from them for a while and not being able to eat out triggers sporadic random cravings. Got some of the items we liked.

Like their fried prawns which were nice with their sambal belachan.

Missed those prawn paste chicken which were good with and without their sambal belachan. These were still crisp when we got them and some of the pieces were dripping with juices.

This tofu dish has always been excellent pairing with rice. Tofu was tender.

One of the nice sambal petai out there which we usually unsuccessfully try not to order when we eat there. Gotta do this. I meant, did this!

The sambal petai and minced meat tofu with salted fish were delicious with rice. These were stuff that we were never gonna attempt to cook at home.

Shrimp Cheeks from Bread Society

I got these shrimp cheeks out of curiosity some weeks back because they were essentially crispy shrimp heads. Naturally, my brain associated them with the flavour of head fat which = tasty. But it wasn't like that. Shrimp cheek flavour != head fat flavour. These tasted not very different from regular prawn crackers despite them being actual fried shrimp heads.

Home made sandwich - ham, cheese, omelette and butterhead

Since we cannot eat out anymore, I suppose there's something also to look at while eating in. Home made sandwiches. Fried omelette with buttered butterhead, President sliced Cheddar and ham. I could tell you how delicious the salty cheese and ham was with the piping hot omelette between lightly crisped toast but that would be pointless wouldn't it? 

A take away from Pizza Hut

Covid 19 has made adjustments to our....well, lives/habits. I know of one change amongst numerous it has made in mine. It had gotten me to get something from Pizza Hut again. Which I have not done in years. Why? I suppose the main draw was the 50% discount that they were giving for takeaway.

That above was their Meat Galore. I personally feel that "galore" isn't descriptively accurate. Usually $35.90 - which I think is wayyyy overpriced. Now for $17.95 which is cheaper than the $20 pies that Pezzo is doing at this point of time but I feel Pezzo has more generous toppings.
