Chui Xiang Kitchen (醉香小厨)
I am not a fan of seafood, but I tend to have an inclination in Lobster Porridge. Today, I'm brought my wife to Commonwealth to check out the Lobster Porridge at this place called Chui Xiang Kitchen. Heard that this place serves very good Lobster Porridge and they are well known for their fine culinery skills. Here's what we have ordered: -
- Lobster Porridge
The Lobster Porridge is delicious. The soup is very tasty and sweet with a mild seafood taste. The Lobster is fresh and succullent. If you are lobster lover, you will love this dish.
- Cabbage Chicken
The Cabbage Chicken is pretty good, the chicken and the cabbage is stewed till it's nice and soft. The chicken and cabbage goes well with the thick gravy but I think it would have been even better if it was stewed longer so that the chicken absorbs the gravy better.

Sin Heng Noodle
I was at Sin Kee Heong Coffeeshop located at Commonwealth Crescent to check out this stall called Sin Heng Noodle. I noticed that they had a newspaper article pasted on the front which features their Special Prawn Noodle. I ordered a bowl of Special Prawn Kway Teow Dry with Extra Chilli for S$3.00. The Prawn Noodle is quite tasty, the chilli sauce reminds me the taste of traditional prawn noodle. The spring onions is very fragrant and adds more flavour to the dish. The soup is sweet with the goodness of the prawns. Overall, I find that the Prawn Noodle is above average and you can give it a try if you are not too fussy about prawn noodles.

Hong Kee Porridge
Today, I was at Commonwealth Food Centre to look for good food hidden in this part of the island. While I was looking around and deciding what to eat, I noticed this porridge stall that has newspaper articles pasted on the glass panel. The porridge looks good too and without any hesitation, I ordered a bowl of Pork Porridge with an Egg. The Pork Porridge was very tasty. The texture of the porridge was watery and not the thick and sticky type but having said that, the porridge was filled with the goodness from the slice pork, homemade meatballs, liver and eggs. The ingredients are very fresh, especially the liver and pork. The porridge was pretty good. I think it would have been even better if they add fried spring onions and lard to make it more fragrant. You can check out this stall especially on a rainy day to warm your stomach.

Soon Lee Food Stall
I was at Tanglin Halt Food Centre to have a bowl of Pig Leg Mee Pok at this stall called Soon Lee Food Stall. This stall has been awarded certificates for good culinary skills for their Pig Leg Noodle. The Pig Leg Mee Pok is delicious - the Pig Leg is fragrant and stewed till it's soft and tender. The layer of fats is fragrant and so soft that it melts in your mouth.The texture of the mee pok is just nice, not too soft and springy. Chilli sauce and vinegar were added in the right amount, making the mee pok very tasty. The stew sauce made the whole dish very tasty and fragrant. A bowl of Pig Leg Mee Pok cost S$3.00 and they are generous with the portion. This is definitely value for money. You must check out this stall if you are around the area.

No. 1 Western Food
Today, I was at Tanglin Halt Food Centre to check out what good food I can find here. When I was there, I noticed the long queue at this No. 1 Western Food stall. I saw an oid man grilling and frying at the stall while his wife was taking orders from the customers. I went around to check out what most people are ordering from this stall and discovered that most people ordered the Chicken Cutlet. I ordered the Chicken Cutlet and Fish and Chips. The Chicken Cutlet was fried till it's nice and crispy. The Fish and Chips was also very crispy on the outside but very tender and fresh on the inside. They have also added the Hainanese style tomato sauce to both dishes so that it will not be too dry.
