6th Avenue Nasi Lemak, Lengkok Bahru

6th Avenue Nasi Lemak (#01-387, 55 Lengkok Bahru) was just next door to Sim Lim Square Bak Chor Mee. Another basmati rice nasi lemak. Pretty decent tasting though I would have liked more salt in that rice to bring out the coconut flavour. For some reason, that turmeric fried chicken didn't come across as freshly fried as I would have imagined at 8-ish in the morning. Not bad tasting though. 

What I thought paired nicely was the sweet sambal, which wasn't annoyingly sweet, with the rice. 

Hong Kee Beef Noodle (桐記牛肉粿條), Amoy Street Food Centre

What I was looking forward to this trip down to Amoy Street Food Centre was Teochew Beef Kway Teow but for some reasons, they were closed on a weekday. 😞

So Hong Kee Beef Noodle (#01-42 Amoy Street Food Centre, 7 Maxwell Road). Soup kuey teow with tendons. I liked it. Tendons were tender with bounciness and the broth was moderately beefy with some tanginess that it felt light. Drained the bowl.

Revisiting Golden Rooster

It was so long ago that I was last here. While I wanted to pick on a few items from their menu, I also really wanted to relive the barbequed chicken again so here's the half chicken with rice. Chicken rice! Looking back at what I wrote about them previously, it seemed that nothing has changed. That chicken was still deliciously tender and I liked the rice with that chilli. Prices have gone up a modest $2.40 in the past 14.5 years. I need to come back here more often.

What about the prata at Ali Fatimah Food Stall?

I guess it's because they're light and not excessively crispy or greasy with a level of chewiness I like.

White radish cake from Fu Ming Cooked Food (福明熟食)

Greasy but delicious radish cake breakfast from Fu Ming. So I've had it black/white, black and now white.

Liang Seng Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle (樑成香菇肉脞麵), Bukit Merah Central Food Centre

I noticed Liang Seng Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle (#02-21 Bukit Merah Central Food Centre, 163 Bukit Merah Central) the past few times I was in the food centre and made a mental note to come back for them. What caught my attention was the old school-ness and the reliable looks of the stall and owner. This was it.

Enjoyable. The flavour profile isn't what I usually come across - it's not feisty with vinegar, not lard-y or particularly mushroomy. What registered was just nice and savoury and that was all I could comprehend of it. Great noodle texture from the mee pok and no fancy ingredients. Nothing in particular was dominant while the toppings were pretty generous. All for a princely sum of $3.50. Will be back.
