New Tasting Adventures

A quiet Friday night out with the wife turned out to be a rather enjoyable seafood dinner with some good friends.
Venue was a seafood place within 5 minutes walk from the Aljunied MRT station. Turns out one of the couples we are meeting eat pretty regularly there.
They are running a 2 crab for $68 deal for crabs sized about 800g and we ordered 2 to be done black pepper style and 2 chilli style. Of the 2 styles the black pepper one tasted more flavourful than the chilli one which was rather average. The signature kam heong style will have to wait for next visit.
We ordered various other dishes to round up the meal. Something called Dai Lok noodles was a particular revelation with the robust flavour of the black sauce coming through the chewy texture of the thick noodles. Other standout dishes included the calamari coated in salted egg yolk batter and the lah lah cooked in herbal broth while the coffee spare ribs deserve a mention.
In case I forget to mention this, this KL styled cze char stall used to be situated in a kopitiam at Block 85 Toa Payoh Lorong 4 until they moved to present location 2 years ago.

I have been reading about Harrianns being rated as a fine purveyor of Nonya kuehs and finally had the chance to try them out.
They do have their choice of set meals but not being particularly hungry I chose to order a kopi o with a box of ondeh ondehs to indulge my sweet tooth.
Their kopi o turned out to be uncommonly robust and proved to complement the sweet dessert pretty well. I popped in the ondeh ondeh one at a time enjoying the rich taste of the gula melaka gushing into my mouth as I bite through it. It's been a while since I enjoyed a "proper" ondeh ondeh.
I look forward to my next visit to Harrianns should I pop by Bugis in the near future.
