🍴 Seafood Paella + Fried Calamari
💰 S$19.90 + S$2.50
🏠 @marchesingapore
📍 313 somerset 🚅 Somerset MRT

A soft, moist and a tad sweet omelette with stretchy mozarella $9.80 (excl. service charges & gst); anyone can do this at the comfort of his/her own home imo (with the right honey mustard sauce, of course!)

On days when I'm ravenous, I do go a little overboard.

Sambal stingray here is good and cheap, though! I think I paid less than $10 for all this!

The Mannuvasanai Menu ($32 for two pax) is now available only at the 138 Race Course Road flagship outlet, in celebration of Muthu's Curry's 46th anniversary. •

The set includes Vazhathandu Kootu (banana shoots), Vendaikkai and Mochai Mandi (white kidney beans and lady's fingers), Vazhakkai Varruval (lightly battered unripened bananas), Milagu Varutha Kozhi (masala chicken), Vanjaram Meen Kulambu (thick cut mackerel) and Payasam (rice pudding). •

Since this is a special item, it is available for a limited period from 15 June to 31 October 2015, from Monday to Friday.

I had a sampling of the decadent Kaya made from scratch by Chef Darren and absolutely loved it. Positively ambrosial with an alluring fragrance, his delicious concoction is ultra smooth and luxuriant in texture. It's the result of a painstaking process that begins with coconut milk being infused with pandan leaves before it's cooked sous vide style together with egg yolks and gula malaka.
Right now, the Kaya which is served as a set with cold curls of butter (also made in-house), warm toast and a slow-cooked egg, is available when Chef Darren has time to make it. Come August, however, it will be a permanent item on the menu. Yay! 😄

Ramen Chicken Wings - Double fried mid wings with ramen crust. Served with #homemade sriracha mayonnaise sauce.

I'm not usually a fan of hokkien mee, but this pot of goodness is awesome! Noodles fried in thick, flavorful seafood gravy and topped with crispy roasted pork and pork lard, it's one of the better ones I've tried. $10 portion is good for 3, 2 if you're really hungry; they're also pretty generous with the prawns and roasted pork!

Jin Tian Eating House 香港锦田, (55 Zion Road) serve arguably one of the best roast meats in Singapore. We love the friendly service of the owner and his staff speaking in fluent Cantonese.

Had a plate of twin roast meat rice, wanton noodles and a generous bowl of dumpling soup at only $12. Might not be the most authentic HK roast we had, but with the friendly pricing we are not complaining.

Until I dropped by this hawker centre in the middle of a Saturday afternoon, I have never not seen "Ah Hui Handmade Fishball Noodle" stall without a long queue. So I grabbed the opportunity and got a $4.50 portion of their "No. 1" which is noodles plus a mix of their handmade fish paste creations and minced pork. Everything about this dish passed with flying colours for me. The items made with the fish paste were fresh and bouncy, the minced pork was lean and clean-tasting, while the "meepok" was simply sublime. I think they use a slightly flatter type of "meepok" and it came tossed in a tastily balance sauce of pork lard oil, chilli sambal, black vinegar and soya sauce. So here comes the billion dollar question: would I join the queue in the future to have this again? Yes, I would 😄

Ah Hui Handmade Fishball Noodle is located at stall number 16 inside Balestier Hawker Centre.

Absolutely deserving of the accolades they have gotten in the local press, the two kinds of "bao" I had here were awesome. To be frank, I am not into "bao" all that much but these big ones, served straight from the steamer, had an unbelievably soft, fluffy and weightless dough, and fillings that're worthy of praise.
The mouthwatering "kong bak" used to be a slab of pork belly but it transformed into something only a pair of adjectives can do justice to: tenderness + stickiness.
A worthy rival, the oddly-shaped vegetarian "chye bao" contained chunky strips of turnip and some carrot plus what looked like specks of ground black pepper. But guess what? They're actually minute bits of chilli padi. Nope, I'm not kidding.

This famous stall is known for the freshness of their "yong tau fu" and wonderfully sweet soup. If you like soya beans like me, you can ask for more to be added and they won't hesitate to scoop a heaping spoon of it into your bowl of soup or noodles. A generous pile of crispy "ikan bilis" is always added on top of each order too, but only if you want it (they always check first). Which brings me to the icing on the cake about this stall. It is their genuinely warm and friendly service that makes them a true winner in my eyes and it's probably why you always see so many smiling customers here.

I love that this tiny Thai Boat Noodles eatery, located at B1-08 of Golden Mile Complex, offers you choices for noodles, meats and soups. It's lots of fun to mix and match them to discover how each combination tastes. Based on my experience eating three completely different permutations, I can conclude they are all lip-smackingly delicious in spite of their mini size! 😋
To order, your first step is to select from silky-soft kway teow, beehoon or glass noodles (the kind used to fry "pad thai"). Next you take your pick of meats from fresh beef, braised beef (this is superb), beef liver, meatball, fresh pork, pork liver and pork ball. You can have a mix of up to three as long as they're from the same meat family. Last comes the soup of which they have three types: a Special Soup (made from beef and pork), Tom Yam and a clear one. If preferred, you can always opt to have your noodles "dry" instead. The waitress then checks if you want your noodles spicy or not. I recommend that you go for the former if you can handle chilli because theirs is really fragrant and potent.
In the corner of the shop sits a neat arrangement of raw beansprouts and a type of green Thai vegetable that you can help yourself to. What a cool way to add a refreshing crunch to the noodles.
Apart from the mini bowls, the noodles also come in bigger/normal portions that cost about $5 each. A small selection of other dishes such as stewed pork trotters and grilled meatballs are also listed in the menu.
