Bazar Raya Utara (Causeway Point)

Mini VaDai (S$3/10)
In assorted flavours such as ikan bilis, crab 🦀 (crab stick), fish (fish cake), chicken (hot dog), veggie and chilli.
Available at @theoriginalvadai stall (unit no. A4) in the woodlands bazaar which was last day yesterday.
Barely felt the filling.

Kind of disappointed that the prawn 🦐 vadai was selling at S$1 per piece, instead of the listed S$2.50/ 3 pcs.

.
They may have a permanent stall, but their pop-up kiosks at events still draw long queues.
.
This 2019, they've also branched out to offer fresh grilled lobsters, alongside their signature halal Taiwanese style beef cubes.
.
The beef is blow torch grilled, which is like taking a sledgehammer to a nail; lacking elegance and finesse, but an eye-catching spectacle.

This features beef cubes, blow torch grilled till well done, with a firm, chewy, juicy texture, and bold meaty savoury flavour.
.
Coated in a house special, Sichuan / Szechuan mala peppercorn sauce, which has bold spicy numbing flavour.
.
Garnished with dried red chili flakes, you can opt to add their secret recipe sambal belacan for a real fiery kick.
.
Wish the mala was slightly more spicy though, and wish they cooked the beef medium rare instead.

Coated in a house special, creamy rich mentaiko / pollock fish roe sauce, which has bright briny salty savoury flavour.
.
Garnished with crisp nori / seaweed flakes, and a secret recipe sambal belacan which is super spicy and shiok.
.
I only wish they cooked the beef medium rare instead.

.
A Scottish invention, where a Mars candy bar is coated in batter, then deep-fried.
.
It's actually opposed by Mars Incorporated themselves, who said "deep-frying one of our products would go against our commitment to promoting healthy, active lifestyles".
.
The version here has a light spongy batter, with a gooey creamy texture within, and bold sweet caramel chocolate notes.
.
Drizzled with chocolate sauce and dusted with icing sugar for presentation.

Australian Mini Lobster Nasi Lemak (S$6.80)
Available at @Seafood.Hunter Seafood Hunter Concept Stall (Stall no. X45) in Bazar Raya Utara 2018, next to Woodlands MRT Station.
Besides the lobster, there’s crispy mini crab 🦀 and lava egg 🥚 in the dish. The sambal was not bad but it was slightly letdown by the uneven texture of the rice 🍚.
