Jing Shu Shi (京熟食), Margaret Drive Hawker Centre

Noticed Jing Shu Shi (#02-31, 38A Margaret Drive) and their snaking queue the past times we were here at Margaret Drive Hawker Centre so we decided to joined the queue this time to find out what it was all about. They're a curry rice stall, food's pretty homely and tastier looking than the run of the mill cai png chains. The crispy pork chop was savoury, much like the defunct Blk 38 Curry Rice rather than the Beo Crescent stall that was sweeter. Not a fan of the curry here but the food was not bad tasting. Will do curry-less the next time. Only open from 5.30pm.

Kimchi cheese bokkeumbap from Wonderful Bapsang

Tried the kimchi cheese bokkeumbap at the Thomson Plaza branch of Wonderful Bapsang. The hot plate that it was served in wasn't very hot but I guess that made sense because that would probably have caused all the cheese to burn. Anyways, the toasty cheese was the best tasting thing on it even though it was a pain scraping them off the hot plate. The toasty cheese was more of a highlight for me compared to the kimchi fried rice which was just passable. Portion was kinda small.

Keat Lim Vegetarian (吉林素食), Upper Thomson Road

Came across Keat Lim Vegetarian (222A Upper Thomson Road) by chance and got a plate of vegetarian noodle for breakfast. Pretty decent tasting. What was memorable was the ngoh hiong which was stuffed with yam and the fried tau kwa which was fresh tasting kind of bean-y and delicious.

Mango Pomelo from Oriental Kopi

Mango pomelo dessert (杨枝甘露) at Oriental Kopi. Pretty decent rendition here. Would have been great if there were more pomelo. Mango's sweet and fragrant. Couldn't tell what's that white stuff in there though I suspect it's milk.

Some dim sum stuff from Meng Meng Roasted Duck (阿明帝皇鸭)

While we were at Meng Meng for some of their roast meats......

Tried their meat stuffed tofu. This not bad. Dried fish flavour in the meat.

Har gow's passable. They don't do delicate skin here.

Siew mai's not great. Felt like it was stuffed with meat paste rather than minced pork and mushrooms.

Palates & Bagels by T.A.M., Jalan Dhoby, Johor Bahru

Came by Palates & Bagels (10 Jalan Dhoby, Bandar Johor Bahru, 80000 Johor Bahru, tel : +60 11-2101 0150) to try their pistachio kunafa croissant.

Looks like minced tuna but it's kadaifi/kadayıf.

The inside of the croissant was stuffed with the pistachio flavoured pastry. Not bad tasting - a little nutty with milky sweetness and the texture was very crunchy.

Grapefruit peach sparkling oolong. Less ice, less sweet.
