More two eggs and no luncheon meat at Good Pig Trotters Fried Bee Hoon (好猪脚米粉)

Been a while since the last time. While I normally sneer at descriptions “hidden gem” used on local eateries with mucus thick disdain, I do think this shop is a gem and will call it one. One amongst many on this island albeit. Hidden to many perhaps but also well known to others. I tell myself to come by more often whenever I'm here and it never happens. Still walked away happy and satisfied today. 😬

More food from Putien Mama

 

Back at Putien Mama. On hindsight, this food here is not very different to expensive cai png. Presentation's just better. Those clay plates the dishes are served in are deceptively shallow so portions aren't big. But the food's delicious.

Tried their chicken in fermented red rice wine sauce. Nice smokiness in there, dangerously delicious with rice.

Moreish umami-ness from their tofu & shrimp in crab roe sauce. Just like the red rice wine sauce, dangerously delicious with rice.

Another chicken rice from Xiang Ji Hainanese Chicken Rice, Porridge and Noodle (香記海南雞飯, 粥, 面)

Been a while since the last time I ate at Xiang Ji. Ended up ordering almost the same thing. Except that this time I got poached chicken thigh instead of the "roasted" one. Here's a picture of a local happy meal. 😬

Revisiting Ah Heng Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee (亞王咖喱鸡米粉麵)

Has been a long time since I had a bowl of curry noodles from Ah Heng Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee. Chicken's kinda chicken-y and nice. While I don't dislike it, I still don't get the queue. I'd pick Cantonese Delights over this.

Duck breast and roast pork from 威胜碳烤烧腊

Back at 威胜碳烤烧腊. Got duck breast today which understandably had more chew to them than their drumsticks. But at least these weren't dry and/or hard. That herbal soup that they give on the side's pretty sweet and potent.

Capitol Bistro • Bar • Patisserie, Capitol Piazza

Some sweets from Capitol Bistro (#01-86/87 Arcade @ The Capitol Kempinski, 13 Stamford Road, tel : +65 6715 6877).

This one was call Elderberry Sphere I think. Underneath that outer layer was a sweet milky cream. Pleasantly so at that. Middle I'm guessing is the elderberry....compote? Tasted like blueberries. Nice.

Some mango mousse-y thingy. Great mango flavour spiked with robust citrus from passionfruit. Both desserts had these solid buttery crust.

There's turmeric latte. Didn't like it at the first sip but it strangely grew on me.
