Lamb brain fried rice from Al Dawood Kambing Soup

No kidding, there's lamb brains in there. I figured that since these folks have lamb brains for their kambing soup and they do have nasi goreng putih on the menu, I could just ask them to do a lamb brain nasi goreng. Which they obliged. What they did was add those brains into the fried rice and did the stir fry with them. So those brains ended up in little bits like minced meat and one couldn't readily tell because they were about the same colour as the fried rice. 

Yeap, I could taste them in most of the mouthfuls of rice with that slightly liver-y flavour. Not bad.

A Monte Cristo sandwich from Simply Sandwich

Simply Sandwich (#01-15 The Metropolis, 9 North Buona Vista Drive, tel : +65 6684 3575) sprung up from Simply Bread I don't know when. I haven't had anything from them since their old setup at Robertson Quay which was a long time back. Here's a Monte Cristo sandwich from them - a French toasted ham and cheese sandwich. Egg soaked overnight according to them and sourdough I think. I had been imagining that it would come with a jam of some sort but they gave honey instead. Not bad for a takeaway.

Coffee Break @ Hong Lim Food Centre

So Coffee Break has another shop at Hong Lim (#02-41 Hong Lim Food Centre, 531A Upper Cross Street). This one doesn't do toast but I think they have a similar gamut of beverages as the stall at Amoy Food Centre. I got myself a masala coffee to see if they tasted the same. I think the Amoy stall has a more feisty masala infusion than this one. Not that I didn't enjoy this.

Dry mee siam from Old Chang Kee

I've noticed the dry mee siam from Old Chang Kee for some time and curiosity got the better of me. I didn't like it. The bee hoon were stringy without much moisture and it didn't taste very mee siam-y. That being said, I'm glad that I asked for an extra lime to go along which helped. Those tau pok they threw in were like dry bland husks of fried matter. Wouldn't get this again. Thankfully I got those giant fishballs. 

Croissants and a brioche from Tiong Bahru Bakery

I've been hearing for a long time now about how good the croissants were at Tiong Bahru Bakery (#01-70, 56 Eng Hoon Street, tel : +65 6220 3430). I got some this morning to try seeing that the queue wasn't too deterring in the early part of the morning.

They weren't bad tasting per se. Much better than their almond matcha one. Didn't get the feels like I did with the defunct Mirabelle but it was nicely done with a good flaky crisp. It just wasn't as buttery as I had been imagining and that's a sin for croissants. Ditto for the brioche.

The takeaway from Koh Brother Pig's Organ Soup......

......is that it survives takeaway. But of course it does since this was just pickled mustard and pig offal in clear soup. Nothing suffers textural change in here. I've been sitting and wondering what else survives tar pow well. Soup does and their flavour has endured. Still delicious through all these years.
