KFC Curry x Sambal Zinger

So there...the curry sambal Zinger that uses instant/frozen prata as buns from KFC. Fried chicken's fine. Prata was a tad greasy. Curry's actually not bad tasting. That being said, one would taste mostly just curry which presumably serves as a dip. Couldn't taste much else; was almost done with this before I remembered that there was supposed to be sambal in the sandwich because I didn't notice it through the curry. It was also a mess to eat.

Pan's Kopi, Amoy Street Food Centre

Came across Pan's Kopi (#02-98 Amoy Street Food Centre, 7 Maxwell Road, tel : +65 8598 8182) recently and decided to try their taro toast set.

Taro paste was slightly sweetened, thick and had bits of yam/taro in them. Tasted mostly like how I imagined. If I had a gripe, it would be that it could have been improved with more butter. 😬 Portion was substantial. Love that the soft boiled eggs were served cracked.

Butter kopi's drinkable stuff - it's not bad but I prefer a roast/bean that has more aroma/body. I thought it was great that they kept the sweetness level lower than most.

Xiang guo with rice at Zhang Liang Mala Tang (张亮麻辣烫)

Shifting away from the tang (烫) and towards the xiang guo (香锅) at Zhang Liang in 100AM. Also trying here to avoid processed items and keeping to ingredients that are more natural - like their fatty beef, sliced tioman (giant snakehead), eggs, some vegetables.

The rice wasn't fluffy but more sturdy, short grained and a little bit harder and less sticky than what many of us are used to compared to Japanese rice. But it was kinda hearty.

It might not have evaded notice that there was bai ye (百叶) in there in spite of the claims of keeping away from processed foods. We all succumb once in a while. 😏

Might have gotten too much sauce there.

Ten Tenths, Havelock II

Dropped by at Ten Tenths (B1-25 Havelock II, 2 Havelock Road, tel : +65 8363 2100) for lunch after hearing about them. Never knew about their existence before even though they've been in business for a few years.  

These guys serve a different herbal chicken from the usual style. Bird's roasted/fried rather than steamed. Meat tasted like it's frozen. Kinda dense and hard around the edges. The herbal sauce was robust and a little more sweet than I was expecting. Set came with oil rice (油饭). Chilli's sweet, limey and has a bit of heat.

Here's a bowl with char siew and roast pork. Roast pork's tender and has a good crunch on the crackling. Nice. Not a fan of their sweet & spicy char siew. Meat was kinda crumbly. The odd item in the bowl was their achar - looked like normal achar but there's barely any sour from the pickling.

Abbas Indian Muslim Food, Bendemeer Market & Food Centre

Nice prata from Abbas Indian Muslim Food (#01-54 Bendemeer Market & Food Centre, 29 Bendemeer Road) - this was a plate of egg cheese and a kosong. The former used plastic wrapped sliced cheese which meant that it was salty and milky. The latter has a bunch of crisp on the surface and also some chew beneath the crisp. A little old school-ish.

Fried fish roe from Jia Li Seafood Soup (佳丽)

Finally got the fried fish roe from Jia Li Seafood Soup. Decent tasting if unextraordinary. Portion looked sad compared to Cai Ji Fried Fish Soup.
