singapore (food glorious food) #2

click here for singapore (food glorious food) #1

this is food republic singapore @ wisma atria. it is really big with so many stalls offering local, asian and western cuisines that you'll be spoilt for choices!



rainbow colors nyonya kuih-muihs (those with blue glutinous rice are my favs!)


real or fake? fruit juice counter


in singapore, their roti canai is called roti prata. mamaks never look this cool.




ed's fish delights (calvin gave two thumbs up!)
Calvin: The fish slice noodles was just ok... The soup was sweet and not too msg-ish, but it didn't taste as good as the fish head noodles here even without the milk.


mixed beef noodles- SGD$4.60 (anything with beef is yumm for me!)


singapore fried prawn noodles (quite different from m'sian style)
Calvin: I love this fried noodle. Fried using thick vermicelli and yellow noodles, this fried noodle tasted great. It was really flavorful and the use of fried pork lard oil is a plus point!




huat huat bbq chicken wing


minimum order was 3 wings and it was teh awesome! calvin's sister loved it so much she reordered another 3!
Calvin: The chicken wings was pretty good, i like the fact that the skin was crispy unlike the ones in Malaysia.


curry noodles
Calvin: I had it with thick vermicelli and yellow noodles and it tasted good. The "tau foo pok" used is not the common one you see in Malaysia, it's square cut into 2 pieces shaped like a triangle. The soup wasn't too "coconuty" and spiciness was just right with the addition of the sambal, and once again... I added fried pork lard.

Calvin: I love the thick vermicelli and the fried pork lard available in almost every food stall! Why can't we have it in Malaysia... well, the pork lard is understandable but the thick vermicelli! It's really rare here.

ToriQ is a stall selling japanese yakitori at the takashimaya food court area. from miles away you'll hear those skewers of meat calling your name... to eat 'em!



a very cool machine that automates the dipping of sauces before being grilled


chicken skin, chicken wing, unagi, chicken karaage, tontoro pork, chicken fillet, chicken balls, pork with asparagus, chicken with green pepper... take your pick!


our pick- chicken skin, pork, pork with asparagus
Calvin: Finishing the chicken skin myself felt a lil sinful. Yiling took a piece :-p

#

korean bulgogi! similar to ToriQ but with a korean flavour this time! temptations, le sigh.


i think they are koreans... or maybe singaporeans selling korean food.


those jumbo sausages are calling my name!! so are the pork and chicken bulgogi... the korean pancakes, squid skewers... etc


glowing skewers of yummyness!
Calvin: The chili sauce for the fried korean delicacies were pretty unique. It was spicy!

#

the famous Pepper Lunch @ takashimaya! you haven't been to singapore if you haven't been here! we went to this before MOS Burger actually...





cut steak with fried egg- SGD$10.90
'sizzle it your way', watch your steak cooks!
Calvin: Grilled beef with butter tastes awesome!

obviously homemade/handmade squid, meat, beef balls


beef slices how i love you


for the love of hokkien mee


calvin given the opportunity to drown those drunken prawns


a wholesome meal

"Built in 1894, Lau Pa Sat is the largest remaining Victorian filigree cast-iron structure in Southeast Asia. Located in the heart of Singapore's business district, the former wet market has been restored and is now a favourite food centre of the locals, offering a wide and affordable variety of local food." -visitsingapore.com

it was pretty slow compared to other fastfood but things people do for yummy food!


a standard set consisting of burger, fries and a drink at about SGD$8


unagi rice burger. OhMyGod. BEST non-BUN non-MEAT BURGER EVARRRRR! worth every penny and minute!

#

... and last but not least the meals we had on the aeroline bus. not the best of meals but not too bad and service is pretty good on the bus- complete with a one-man 'cabin crew' and captain, lounge, hot drinks and pastries, and movies on board! all these at rm80 one way.
