Go! Go! Curry @ 313 Somerset Food Junction

The Food Junction food court at 313 Somerset is one of the largest Food Junction in Singapore, occupying the entire 5th floor in the mall.

It has some new stalls which is currently exclusive to Food Junction. One such stall is GO! GO! CURRY. But recently I found out that they are also operating at ION Orchard Food Hall.

According to them, they are a famous curry rice chain in Japan and they are famous for one thing - thier huge curry rice serving which satisfy the big appetite of hungry Japanese office workers.

I ordered the Pork Katsu Curry Economy Class.

It was really big. Usually when I am at Tonkichi, I will ask for 1 more refill of rice. But here, I could not even finish their 1 serving. It is best to share the Economy Class among 2 big diners. Or just order 1 Healthy Class would do if you are eating alone.

Taste wise, the pork katsu is quite dry and not much pork flavour. Curry is good though and the rice is those sticky Japanese rice type. Personally, I prefer Tonkichi. And Tonkichi wins hands down.

Teochew Fish Ball Mee @ Amoy Street Food Centre

Amoy Street Food Centre not only caters lunch to the office crowd, but it is also one hawker centre where some of the best hawkers in Singapore are located.

The Teochew Fish Ball Mee located next to the famous Han Kee Fish Soup serves one of the meanest fishball noodles in town.

I believe their fishballs are specially made for their stall. (Not sure if they are handmade). The fish balls are very QQ and tasty.

Oh by the way, the aunty drinking water in the photograph has superb photographic memory. She works for Han Kee Fish Soup and can remember 10 different orders all at once. Without shallots, with rice, no lettuce. She will remember each and every single order without fail.

Was too excited and forgot to take a photo before stirring the noodles. First timers will notice that the noodles is not as oily as it looks. I think they use less oil compare to others. The Mee Kia has a very crunchy and QQ texture to it. And the best part is their sambal chilli. Everytime I yearn for sambal chilli noodles, I will definitely come here.

And price is cheap too. S$2.50 for a large serving. I am a big eater, so you can be sure the S$2.50 really is one big serving.

Lorong 9 Beef Kway Teow @ Geylang Lorong 9

When Singaporeans think of Beef Hor Fun, the first place which comes to mind is always Geylang Lorong 9. This Lorong has long been linked to Beef Hor Fun for many many years.

Almost a decade ago before the coffeeshop was renovated, the cooks and serving staffs were all aunties, and is a all-women business. Now, men has replaced most of the cooks in this coffeeshop.

The killer beef hor fun. Although many people commented that standards have dropped, but this is still one of the better versions in Singapore. The cook first flash fry the kway teow with boiling oil and some soya sauce until it has lot's of wok hei. Then the aunty scoop a bowl or two of the sinful gravy with lot's of over-tenderised beef slices onto the plate. The result is a meal on its own. The cheapest (for 1 person) is S$9, but I feel it is worth the price.

Photobucket

I also like their Sweet Sour Pork. The pork are deep fried with a special crispy coating not found in most places, yet you cans till taste and bite into the tender pork. The sauce is also well done.

Photobucket

A great place to enjoy Beef hor fun and some tze char dishes if you are around the area. But try to avoid this place on Fri and Sat night as they will be very crowded and busy.

Oh, while you are here, you can also order the famous frog leg porridge and oyster omelette from across the small road. They will serve you the dishes across their coffeeshop. And vice-versa too.
