LOO'S HAINANESE CURRY RICE

Tiong Bahru curry rice in the Tai Kwang Huat Coffee Shop where we usually patronized during weekend.  Their curry so claim takes 3 days to make, spicy, thick and fragrant.  Price is reasonable and food tasty tasty which is the reason that command such a queue everyday.  Their deep fried pork chop, cabbage (sometimes just stir fry) and sotong slathered in curry sauce.  What I like most is their braised yong tau-foo in thick bean paste.

It is no longer in their old location but a little further down on Seng Poh Road, due to rent hike.  The place is not as comfortable and big as the old one.  All seats are along the pavement.  

BEAUTY WORLD

Some of the popular stores at Beauty World food centre which draws crowds : Pasta and satay beehoon

CABLE CAR RIDE

The alternate way to view the full Marina Bay area is to take a ride on the cable car.  A good place to take photos at all angle.

BEDOK SOUTH FOOD CENTRE

Bedok South food centre is one of our dinning options.  The stalls that we normally patronize are the Hill Street char kuay teow, which usually closed early, leaving the Wah Kee cuttlefish and Hock Seng Choon noodles stalls.   There are usually long queues for these stalls which is a testimonial for good food.

It usually takes about 20 minutes to queue.  The stall closed on Mondays and the operation hours are from 1800 hour to 2030 hour.  Cheap and best cuttlefish kangkong in town, costs you $2.00 per serving formally but has now increase price to $3.00 per serving which still worth the value.

Generous sprinkle of fragrant peanuts with lots of cuttlefish, cucumbers and pineapples with a choice of mee hoon, or without.

No other places serve you such an amount of chewy perfect tender cuttlefish.  The tantalizing sweet & sour sauce is more than enough to blend every piece of ingredients and allured one to lick up to the very last drops.

This stall has quite a lot of patrons, with a long queue whenever we are there.  They serve excellent fish balls which are big and bouncy, without any floury taste.  We usually ordered the dry springy mee-bok version with very spicy chilli and sweet tomato sauce.

SINPOPO FOOD

Eating local classical food in a laid back 50s style eatery with music playing from the bygone era

Paper menu with a short selection of hot savoury dishes, drinks, hot and cold desserts and ice-cream

Order food through checklist and payment makes at the cashier

Yesterday dish  -  Fried crullers with prawn paste

Excellent Kato Rice (Singapore scissor-cut curry rice)

Chicken curry rice  -  a let down by the thin curry

D24 Durian Pengat  -  too sweet for my liking

Hot Bobur Cha Cha  -  The thin coconut milk did not bring out the flavour and lack of glutinous balls

Gula melaka soft jelly with coconut milk, a silky smooth concoction

Sago pudding  -  long time favourite.  Not too sweet even with the addictive dose of gula melaka

SINPOPO

Sinpopo, a vintage-aspired eating house at Joo Chiat, set up by Awfully Chocolate to reminisce of the old food delights.  The vintage setup does bring one back to the days of the 60s and 70s.

The days of black and white television. 

Past days of Kopi O service

Humble wooden seats and tables

 Oldies

Vintage and precious records

EAT.

We had eaten at their rail mall branch and their bak chor mee was real good.  What we did not expect is that the noodles served at the Tampines Centre branch is not up to expectation.  The queue was long resulted in some scuffle among customers.  

Good ambience with oldie posters and plenty of seats

There are other food available but we are bak chor mee fanatics.  The noodles are not al dente with barely enough sauce to coat the noodles.  They have to be eaten immediately or will get meshy.
