It was raining the whole day when I started my adventure to find Maxwell food centre, accompanied by chan's street directory I started to go to Ikea at alexandra road first and then headed to maxwell road, it was quite a big food court full with all tempting & mouth watering stall that calling me to sit there, but I made up my mind that I must find this place, so after wondering trough all the stall I finally found it at the back of the foodcourt. it was already passed the lunch time so there's no queue at all, I ordered the big portion $3 of their chicken rice & sat. Turned out this was the best chicken rice i ever had in my whole life, the rice was fragrant and cooked using a long grain rice, not oily at all, and the steamed chicken was cooked to perfection perfection, the meat's color was clean, smooth and so tender i could cry when I was chewing it (my friend said I decribed the chicken rice just like I describe a beautiful women) :P no wonder this place got the number one best chicken rice in Singapore from makansutra, much much better than loykee chicken rice

The Banana Leaf Apolo Restaurant

Posted by jeny at 10:32 PM

This place was sitting on the top place of my must must visit & try, we arrived there on one rainy evening, walking passed Tekka Market to Race Course Road, at last we found the banana leaf signboard. The ambience of this place feels like cafeteria, there's a food counter displaying north and south indian dishes, we ordered biryani rice, masala chicken and a basket of papadam, it were so delicious, the spice taste so strong. The unique thing in this place was the meal actually served on a banana leaf, the meal taste even better if you eat it using your hand. and it cost us about $19 for all those marvelous meal, in my opinion it was quite a reasonable price :)

Ah Kow Mushroom Minced Pork Noodle

Posted by jeny at 11:13 PM

I knew this place from makansutra, and I went to search for it with zink, luckily we found it at last around lunch time, there's a long queue in front of this stall, so we joined the queue and after about 15 minutes, I sat in the table facing my first "bhak chor mee" (mushroom minced pork noodle) $3, the noodle is served with a soup ( a combination of soy sauce, black vinegar, chili, pork oil) and topped with : minced meat (pork), sliced mushrooms (hioko), celery etc. resulting quite oily but very tasty & delicious soup. :)

The Chinese Feast

Posted by jeny at 05:35 PM

Last week, I met Flona from NasiUduk, and she took us to this restaurant for dinner. This place speciality was ChongQing style hot pot (anyone know where this kind of hotpot can be found in Indonesia?). Decorated in modern Chinese interior, with several Chinese opera mask pasted on the wall. since its a buffet dinner, we can choose from a big list of dish (seafood, pork, chicken, mushroom, vegetables) to put into the soup, we choose 2 kind of soup base (Ma-La Tang and Faithful Chicken Soup), edamame was served as appetizer, an we also got several sellection of Dian Xin such as "Xiao Long Tang Bao", "fried buns" etc. ( I didn't know all the 'dian xin' name :P ) and ice cream of the day for dessert. Overall it was a wonderfull experience, the 'Ma La Tang' was so delicious, tasty and hot. but I still wish it was hotter than that. They also have 4 types of dipping sauces, btw they also served the most delicious tea : "Ba Bao Cha" (eight treasure tonic tea). Thx alot ya Flo *hugs*
