Albert Street Prawn Noodles + Chun Kee Bugis Village Chicken Rice @ Lavender Food Square

Lavender Food Square is one of my family's favourite food centre, especially for late night dinners.

Many night owls come here, as food here are cheaper and much much tastier than Newton, and nearer to the city than Old Airport food centre.



The roof looks like an old kampung house. Quite unique.



One of the best Prawn Mee Soup can be found here. Formerly at Albert Street, it moved here after the food centre was torn down to build the new Raffles Hospital.



A bowl of S$3 Prawn Mee (I have Kway Teow tonight) is loaded with lot's of fresh prawns. Their prawns has been specially cleaned and processed so that the shells can be peeled off easily. Very fresh prawns and flavourful stock. A must try for all Prawn Noodles Soup lovers!



I also like Chun Kee Bugis Village chicken rice. Ordered a S$7 portion of white chicken. The meat is very tender and juicy. I love eating the crunchy cucumber too.

Qiji @ Funan DigitaLife Mall

Qiji started in the 1980s selling popiah and other stuffs at Funan Centre food court. Then it moved to Shaw Leisure Gallery in the 90s before returning to Funan and now it has expanded to many Qiji cafes all over Singapore.



From the 1980s till now 2010, their signature dish is still the popiah. And it is not difficult to see why. Soft chewey handmade popiah skin is used to wrap the tender juicy popiah turnips, eggs, crispy bits, minced garlic, chilli and sweet sauce (and perhaps a few more other ingredients).

However, my favourite popiah is still the one at Lavendar Food Square along Jalan Besar Road.



Also had crispy fried chicken wing. It's okay, average. Nothing spectacular about the wings here.

Tea Station @ 8 Shenton Way Building

This is my favourite lunch place in the CBD.

Some people may mistaken this place as just only a Taiwan Milk Tea shop, but inside the shop, there is a small kitchen which dishes out above average rice dishes.



My favourite is their Beef rice. According to the owner, they learnt the special technique of cooking the beef from a Taiwanese chef. It is half braised and half stir-fry. The end result if beef which is very tender and extremely flavourful.

Also, I changed their vegetable into Mui Choy. Although slightly saltier than average, it went well with the white rice. The vegetables were braised long enough for it to absorb the braised soya sauce gravy.

The set comes with a sunny side egg.

There are also other options such as crispy pork or chicken rice set, and also braised pork set with mui choy.

It is located at Basement 1, underneath Subway sandwich shop.

Tierney's Roast Crackling Pork @ Isetan Scotts European Food Fair

Welcome to my new food blog.

This is a blog which is all about food from hawker centres, kopitiams and also snacks and tibits.

I will kick off this new blog with something crackling good!



Tierney is a local Singaporean company which produced western sausages which are available in supermarkets.

Recently, they participated in the European Fair at Isetan Scotts. I was attracted by their beautiful crackling pork and pork knuckle.

Could not decide between the both. In the end, bought 4 strips of Crackling Pork. 1 strip is about 100g which amounted to S$3.30.



The skin was very crunchy and addicitve. Most of the oil and fats have already melted under the oven's high temperature, leaving behind only crunchy skin and juicy pork.

The aunty told me the next time they will be selling this crackling pork is in October at the same place. They do not have a shop, and only participate in these temporary food fairs.
