More food from A2B Veg Restaurant

A2B Veg Restaurant, Serangoon Road


A2B Veg Restaurant, dahi puri

Dahi puri to munch while waiting. Refreshingly tangy from the tamarind sauce and yoghurt with a breath of mint and varied crunchy textures.

A2B Veg Restaurant, schezwan noodles

Party of my exploration of fried noodles in Indian eateries. This was Schezwan paneer noodles - A2B's interpretation of Chinese and spicy fried noodles with chunks of cottage cheese. Texture of the noodles were softer than what I prefer but I liked the straightforward moreish saltiness.

A2B Veg Restaurant, palak mutter

Palak mutter - puréed spinach with green peas. Nice rich savouriness in the spinach from the ghee, adequate salt and garlic. 👍🏼

A2B Veg Restaurant, butter naan

Some light butter naan to scoop up the palak mutter with.

A2B Veg Restaurant, hot badam milk

Washed down with a piping hot badam milk.

No Ordinary Chicken, Beo Crescent Food Centre

No Ordinary Chicken, shallot

Masala Kitchen has quietly folded just as it had appeared and in its place, is No Ordinary Chicken (#01-81 Beo Cresecent Food Centre, 38A Beo Crescent). They're technically a chicken rice stall, albeit not of the common local chicken rice variety that most of us are familiar with. What they do here is mostly grilled chicken for now with a variety of options for sauces/toppings accompanied with steamed white rice and a chilled salad on the side.

This topping was the shallot which was in all likelihood their rendition of sambal matah because I couldn't see it being inspired by anything else. Dominant flavour is lemongrass and onions. There's tanginess with a subtle sweetness and savoury oil richness. I kinda enjoyed this.

This was from the branch at 313

GO Noodle House, sliced pork belly and beef balls in milky pickled vegetable soup bee hoon

Love the beefiness from the gristly beef balls. Just can't see myself ordering anything else than this milky pickled vegetable soup anytime in the near future.

Maccha House, Orchard Central

Maccha House, Orchard Central

Dropped by Maccha House (B1-40 Orchard Central, 181 Orchard Road, tel : +65 6636 5830) for nibbles.

Maccha House, sausage mozzarella corndog

Tried their sausage & mozzarella corndog because...I don't think I've had a corndog before and this was a good time as any to try. Kinda tasted like how I imagined it would. Didn't expect sugar. Felt kinda Korean. What I also didn't see coming was that only half that dog had the sausage with the other half being just cheese. One would think that it would be cheese covered sausage inside but no.

Maccha House, harajuku cheesy corndog

It was precisely what the menu depicted. 😔

Maccha House, matcha tiramisu

Matcha tiramisu's not bad tasting. Wasn't very sweet and had plenty of matcha flavour coming through. Portion was pretty small though.

Maccha House, matcha latte

Matcha latte's also kinda nice. Milky and matcha-y with a pleasant light sweetness served piping hot.

Biscoff ban chang kueh from Munchi Pancakes

Munchi Pancakes, biscotti

Here's an admission. This was in probability my first Biscoff flavoured anything. I've had the cookie, just never other stuff with its flavour. I liked this Biscoff pancake from Munchi Pancakes (B2-22/23/24 Guoco Tower, 1 Wallich Street, tel : +65 8312 6203) though and enough that I've come back for it a second time. 😬

Crispy garlic spice beef bibimbap from Sukiya (すき家)

Sukiya (すき家), crispy garlic spice beef bibimbap

Sukiya has brought back their bibimbap again and I wanted to try the crispy garlic spice beef bowl which I missed previously. I had the idea that there would be cloves of garlic in it from the picture on the menu but turns out that there wasn't any at all. Just some spicy garlic bits which weren't extraordinarily spicy or garlicky. The ratio of rice to the other ingredients were off compared to a proper one. Would have been great if there were more toppings/vegetables to "balance" that ratio but it was a quick fix and did the job.
