La Kopi?

Midweek spent with the cuz who lived in amk for a good amount of time but never ventured into Ave 10. It's about 6pm when we arrived, you can already see the kitchen busy and a queue forming. Waited for about 10mins before I got my order sent and the wait was about 30mins long? Pretty lucky considering some people waited for almost 2 hours for this. We ordered the best of both worlds combo which included the salted egg yolk and chilli crab sauce; came with chips(obviously) and a side of your choice for $12.90. The lemon butter grilled fish with tomyum fried rice was $8 if I'm not mistaken? Anyhoo, being a big fan of salted egg anything as I am, I'm quite disappointed by how lifeless the sauce looks and how little it was. Worse still, I couldn't really taste it; think more of zichar salted egg yolk sauce with sotong? And the chilli crab sauce had no kick. Don't really get the hype. But for a kopitiam, maybe there's an element of surprise? The tomyum fried rice was quite yummy. One thing though the fish was amazingly soft but it's a pity the batter is too oily for our liking. So we ate without it and without the sauce since it made no difference. I am only thankful we didn't wait too long for food of this standard. Don't think we'll head back for their fish and chicks? Maybe we'll try like their chicken dish if we're in the vicinity?

Wouldn't find myself anywhere near Braddell if it wasn't this. Must we really travel there for hokkien mee? Oh yes, it is means your dish is serve in claypot bubbling, piping hot and sizzling. We ordered a two person portion($10), you will find your usual prawns and sotongs(duhhh!) and also clams which I think totally brings the unami of this dish to a whole new level. The chilli was so addictive i found myself eating it alone but also totally complements the dish. One thing though, the crispy pork lard was too dry. Thats like probably the only fault I could find. If you like claypot dishes, you should try this. Like hokkien mee this stall is it. Like both? What are you waiting for? You need to try this!
