CNY IN APRIL

exams are finally over and i seriously need to do some catching up. found out that this post is long long overdue. imagine CNY in april? hah. this won lead me to my first advertorial.

before i start ranting. this post is a "can do can don do" i decided to update this because its quite a significant event cos its chinese new year, but at the same time was pondering if i should.

this place should be highly raved as it was recommended in one of the shows on channel 8. (or izt channel U?) its a show that features all the tzi char stalls and this particular tzi char stall i visited is suppose to be famous for incorporating fruits in their dishes.

so first up, we have the honey pork ribs. as u can see from the picture, the ribs don have bones.

this is a "thumbs up" point. average dish as this is not their "zhao pai". the meat is tender, you don really have to chew much to settle this piece of meat. sweet enough to satisfy me.

Next up is the "tie ban dou fu" hot plate tofu. sizzling hot, slightly on the spicy side as compared to other stalls offering this dish. the tofu however is not home made (if you like home made toufu can ask me abt it). the same verdict; average

alright, finally we look at the chef's specials. its called "草莓鸡", which means strawberry chicken. hehe, direct translation. alright, now please follow the steps listed below to accompany me in revealing the truth of the mystery chicken.
step 1: close your eyes. yes, close it
step 2: imagine walking into a convenience store
step 3: pick up a box of pocky
step 4: make sure its strawberry flavour
step 5: pay at the counter
step 6: go and get chicken cutlet from the nearest western food stall you know
step 7: eat both of them together.
thats it, you know wad i mean? the taste is articficial. it taste exactly like pocky strawberry flavour.

the best of the average. "蜜瓜虾" melon prawn direct translation. the sauce is finger licking good. slightly salty but the fragrance of the melon comes floating even after u swallow it. the sauce and rice goes well with each other. the prawns are cruchy cruchy type and they are huge enough to let you bite it into half in order to fit into your mouth. love it.

basically, this place is not worth the trip from my place to toa payoh. not even bothered to search for the address, if you want please go and search from the mediacorp webby.

auntie note: you still have to make a reservation in order to get a place there.
