Whole deep cheese chicken from Goobne

I admit that this was a guilty pleasure from Goobne. No idea what's in that cheese powder. Sweet, salty and artificially cheesy tasting; it's probably something I don't wanna know but I'm gonna continue this guilty pleasuring until I find another. Besides, their oven roasted chicken is actually pretty good. Just a little expensive like all Korean FC are.

More mee pok-ing at Li Yuan Mee Pok (栗原ミーポック)

Didn't quite plan a return to Li Yuan Mee Pok so soon but it happened.

This was a bowl of their shoyu fusion mee pok. Flavour difference between the shoyu and the miso bowl for their fusion mee pok seemed to be not much. I can't definitively tell which one I prefer.

Trying their mushroom mince meat noodle for the first time. Came with mock abalone like the fusion mee pok bowls. Not bad tasting. Solid savoury umami going on with discernible vinegar in the sauce. I emptied a little dish of their chilli soy sauce in it for a bit of heat but that cranked the sour up a bit too much.

That's the chilli soy sauce I'm talking about.

Mee pok from Soon Heng Pork Noodles (顺兴肉脞麵)

I had an uncommon craving for the soup pork noodles from Soon Heng so this happened. I enjoyed this more than the last time and it didn't have anything to do with the change of noodle type. Maybe it's the additional egg, maybe the flavour of the soup is a little different and also maybe, it's their meatballs which they've upgraded to from factory made ones to hand made ones which tasted much better with the ti poh flavour.

Luke's Lobster, Great World

Luke's Lobster has an outlet at Great World (#01-152 Great World. 1 Kim Seng Promenade, tel : +65 6269 9600). I've seen it a few times and it's always looked a little....forlorn.

Tried their lobster grilled cheese. They left it for like 10 minutes at the counter while assembling our lobster roll (which took 20 minutes with barely anyone in the shop) so the cheese kinda stiffened from cooling down. Not enough butter in the grilled cheese. Not particularly impressed by this grilled cheese as well so I won't be getting it again.

They were doing a collaboration for their first anniversary featuring local flavours over the course of some weeks. This particular roll was a Peranakan influenced take from the chef at FatFuku. Sambal mayo with achar. Not bad tasting actually but too little butter in the roll again. I don't feel that these guys are as good as the hype they're caught in.

Kantan by the SIB'S, Golden Mile Food Centre

I was mostly curious about the blue rice from the Kelantanese nasi kerabu that this stall (#B1-20 Golden Mile Food Centre, 505 Beach Road) was selling. Not just because it was Smurf-y blue but also that the ingredients also reminded me of nasi ulam which I've had once. Both of which are somewhat uncommon and similar from the salad on rice aspect. What was served with this blue pea flower rice to be eaten together were julienned cucumber, cabbage, laksa leaves, some salted egg and toasted coconut.

I was told by the stall that I should toss them up before eating. It's pretty good. Not much flavour coming from the rice; most of it came from the laksa leaves, salted egg and the lime-y chilli with the toasted coconut just in the background. I liked it. This was the honey grilled chicken plate by the way - I think it's more kecap manis than honey. There was also a solok lada - the green chilli stuffed with coconut mackerel paste. 

Li Yuan Mee Pok (栗原ミーポック), Commonwealth Drive

This stall (#01-697, 115B Commonwealth Drive) is a branch of the wafu bak chor mee stall I previously knew as Ah Hoe Mee Pok. It was manned by a young Japanese guy. I ordered the miso fusion mee pok because I wanted to know the difference between that and their shoyu fusion mee pok I had some years ago.

The toppings were exactly the same- Japanese styled charshu, sliced pork, minced pork, pork balls, deep fried lard and some mock abalone.  It was also a little sweet as well but I couldn't definitively identify the miso. I liked it though. Maybe I need to do the shoyu bowl again just to be sure. Note to self : their fermented bean garlic chilli soy sauce is good.
