So I ditched the luncheon meat like I reminded myself the last time and got two eggs and fish cake. I kinda noticed the chilli sauce more today. I like the balance of it and how it paired with the bee hoon. This plate was so satisfying.

Ginger steamed egg from Mei Heung Yuen Dessert (味香园甜品)
This from Mei Heung Yuen Dessert at Funan (#B2-24 Funan, 107 North Bridge Road). Exactly that ginger steamed egg I was previously talking about without the ginger juice poured over. This one has the ginger flavour integrated into the steamed egg. I like this better than the one from Ah Chew.
Brisket and tendon kuey teow from Penang Home Made Beef Ball
I wanted to know if the brisket was good at Penang Home Made Beef Ball but they're the same as everywhere else. Cut from the flat section which meant mostly lean and boring. While it was relatively tender, there was only so far it could go with that tenderness without the intramuscular fat. The meat was stringy and that part bothered me most. Besides that, I liked pretty much everything else...tendon, beef balls, sauce and kuey teow.

Ginger steamed egg with durian from Ah Chew Desserts
So we noticed the steamed egg with ginger on menu thinking it would be similar to the one at Mei Heong Yuen. It's not the same. They poured ginger juice over the chilled steamed egg like how 姜汁撞奶 is served. The scoop of durian pulp they gave us today looked much sadder than the last time too.

Kolo mee without char siew from Zhong Pin Noodle House (众品麵萬家)
I figured out that in most if not all instances, what I didn't like about kolo mee was the char siew so I asked for a bowl without them today at Zhong Pin Noodle House. So that's how it's gonna be moving forward. But there's a part two to this tale. The fried lard was borderline rancid. That made it borderline unforgivable because it also represented the attention they paid to their ingredients and serving stale food is just not good practice. No?
A pigeon had fallen today at the food centre. It was a short distance away from where I was sitting.

Heng Heng Fish Soup (興興鱼片湯), Telok Blangah Food Centre
Came across Heng Heng Fish Soup (#01-15 Telok Blangah Food Centre, 79 Telok Blangah Drive) in our recent visits to Telok Blangah Food Centre. I suppose I was also drawn by the rustic appearances of the stall and that there was a tray of fried fish roe beckoning to me as I inched closer for a look.
Didn't get fish soup. Ordered their specialty dry noodle which I topped up a couple of bucks for their fried fish roe. There's a half boiled egg, some fried egg floss and some meatballs with ee mian.
Meatballs were delicious...look at those textures. Fried fish roe and egg floss were serviceable quality. Noodles were flavoured by something that tasted like kecap manis and their chilli sauce. That was actually not bad tasting. Might try their fish stuff another time.
