Chicken sausage jalapeño cheese bagel from McD

McDonald's, chicken sausage jalapeño cheese bagel

McD's limited variant of their breakfast bagel. According to them, there's jalapeño cheese in those bagels.

Couldn't tell that there was cheese baked into those bagels. The jalapeños were weak - barely discernible. Another half-assery by McD.

A sesame hiyashi chuka from Ohsho

Ohsho, Cuppage Plaza

It's been years since we last ate at Ohsho.

Ohsho, hiyashi chuka

Because of the heat, I've been thinking about hiyashi chuka. Not much of them around to my knowledge. This was the sesame bowl from Ohsho. I've had the shoyu one many years back.

They've upgraded from the pink sludge ham to their charshu. Done away with the pointless red coral as well. But this tasted like it was bottled sesame sauce. Surfeit crept in easily from the sweet salty flatness. Won't be getting it again.

Lontong kering from Siti Nurliyana Nasi Lemak

Siti Nurliyana Nasi Lemak, lontong kering

Siti Nurliyana Nasi Lemak is presumably Siti Nur Liyana Nasi Lemak with an updated signage and name. The stall's unit number the same as the last time. Here's a lontong kering from them - paru and hot dog were add ons. Tasted much like it looked and I didn't mean it in a bad way. That being said, it was also not as tasty as the ones from Ming Ang and Nura & Tara.

Regarding Margaret Drive Sin Kee Chicken Rice (新記馳名雞飯) at Holland Drive

Margaret Drive Sin Kee Chicken Rice (新記馳名雞飯), Holland Drive

I just realised that the other Margaret Drive Chicken Rice branches that used to be around have disappeared except for this one at Holland Drive which is Margaret Drive Sin Kee Chicken Rice. Up till recently, I also hadn't realised that that the name "Sin Kee" was on their signage. 😬 Always though they were just another branch of Margaret Drive Chicken Rice.

This does make things less murky, at least for me. It's the stall that I've been eating at since their days as Sin Kee Famous Chicken Rice at Mei Ling Food Centre. I'm going to disregard the confusing branding among various similarly named stalls and move on with just this one.

This was from maybe a month back. They're still great without the chilli sauce which allows for some nuances like the flavour of the rendered chicken drippings over the poached bird to be more discernible.

Jurong Popiah (裕廊132薄饼), Redhill

Jurong Popiah (裕廊132薄饼), poh piah

Decent poh piah from this stall. The wrap wasn't particularly firm but it's not a dealbreaker. The reddish looking roll has extra chilli and garlic - nice. Love that extra punch in them. Stall's located in that same coffeeshop as Penang Handmade Pau and Daeng M.Y..

Trying Ah Hua Teo Chew Fish Ball Noodle (Stall #43 Ayer Rajah Food Centre, 503 West Coast Drive) for the first time.

This was their snow crab noodle. Not real snow crab included obviously. Just crab sticks.

Decent-ish. There's sliced pork, minced pork, mushrooms and crab sticks. There was a sweetness in the saucing that borderline bothered me and I think it's from the stewed mushrooms. Speaking of mushrooms, these weren't as tender as I preferred.
