A McGriddling experience with McD

It's true. McGriddles are back. Ordered this via app and they gave me a McMuffin Stack. I went back to change with the order slip and the first thing the auntie told me was "对啊, Muffin Stack". 😳 Strike one for McD's quality control. Anyways I told her it states McGriddle. I can attribute the error to 老花. She then went to a supervisor who promptly looked at the order and the slip and said to me "Correct, this is the stack." 😳 I told her it's a McGriddle on the order and not a McMuffin. Strike two for McD's quality control. Two layers of verification in the morning have failed to correctly identify a single incorrect order. 😓

Anyways, what I really wanted to bring up was that they took the McMuffin and dumped into the bin and gave me my order. I think - the least they could have done was to ask me if I still wanted it before wasting food and shame on McD for not making an attempt not to waste food.

Authentic Chai Chee Bak Chor Mee, Potong Pasir

I don't really know much about this stall (120 Potong Pasir Ave 1) but the name was familiar and it was mediocre experience. Mostly because the mee pok was overcooked and too soft which pretty much ruined it. That and the lye flavour in the noodles as well. Decent sambal and soft, almost stale lard included. I left half of it unfinished.

Soup which was spruced with rendered lard, couple meatballs, a dumpling and some minced pork was drinkable. The ingredients weren't exactly generous. There's bits of 芹菜 in it which I didn't like. As I said, a mediocre experience.

One last plate from Twelve Hainanese Chicken Rice

From what I read,  Twelve Hainanese Chicken Rice will be closing for good at Jalan Kukoh due to rental issues they're facing. Which is a pity since they're decent. But not so much with how they chopped the chicken though. 😬 Quite a bit of bone fragments in there. Otherwise another decent stall bites the dust.

Salted vegetable fish soup with ee mian from Jia Li Seafood Soup (佳丽)

Back at Jia Li Seafood Soup to try the salted vegetable soup that I noticed from the last time. I still rank Yan Ji above this even though I kinda enjoyed this one with the tanginess from the kiam chye. Ee mian for the win.

The end of Keisuke Plus

Keisuke Plus is folding up. Kinda sad because there's gonna be a bunch of stuff we're gonna miss from them that isn't available anywhere else. As it was with their duck broth ramen from Ginza Kamo Soba Kyudaime Keisuke it might disappear and never be available again. We came back to get some of the stuff we liked because it might be the last time we'll ever get to.

Like their Hokkaido oyster broth ramen.

And their wagyu mazesoba.

And also their tastier than Mashi No Mashi's wagyu gyoza.

Dian Xiao Er Prestige (店小二臻选), Great World

New outpost by 店小二 with an expanded menu at Great World (#01-140 Great World, 1 Kim Seng Promenade, tel : +65 6337 7973).

There's crab roe bee hoon in this branch. Definitely new on the menu. This dish had enough of the roe to impart a discernible flavour along with an underlying smokiness in the noodles. Loads of egg white in the gravy. Not bad.

Dian Xiao Er's dang gui/angelica duck (当归药材烤鸭) has been reliably tasty with a savoury sweetness from the herb infused sauce over tender sliced meat. Not to mention a nice flavour from the roasted skin.
