Ah Heng Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee
Today I was at Hong Lim Food Centre for lunch. It was pretty quiet today as most people should be sleeping after watching the live reports of the PE 2011. It was a great timing to queue for the famous Ah Heng Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee. I ordered a big bowl of Curry Chicken Bee Hoon for S$5.50. The Curry Chicken Bee Hoon was absolutely delicious. The gravy is thick and fragrant and the chicken is tender. I am quite fussy over the doneness of potatoes but I like their potatoes that are cooked till it's nice and soft. You can also find ingredients like fishcake, tau pok and bean sprouts. If you like your curry mee spicy, you can add some sambal chilli and your curry mee will be more fragrant and spicy. You can even taste the small bits of dried shrimp in the chilli sauce. However, if you are health concious, you might find this dish is a little oily. But for a nice bowl of curry noodles like this, I think it's definitely worth you exercising to burn the extra calories away. You must not give this a miss.

Wu Xiang Xia Bing
Today I was at Hong Lim Food Centre to check out this stall called Wu Xiang Xia Bing. I ordered the Wu Xiang, Fried Prawn Fritter and Intestine stuffed with meat. The Wu Xiang is tasty and filled with minced meat and cubes of chestnut with spices. The Fried Prawn Fritter is freshly made upon order, the texture is thin and has ingredients like prawns and bean sprouts. The Fried Prawn Fritter is not oily and has a soft texture on the inside. Lastly, the Intestine stuffed with meat is delicious, the meat is lean and has a sweet taste. The chilli sauce has peanut in it and it goes well with the dishes, especially if you like it spicy. Overall, I find that the Wu Xiang Xia Bing at this stall is fresh and worth a try.

Spring Court Restaurant Pte Ltd (詠春园)
I brought my family to Spring Court Restaurant today for Fathers' Day celebration. This restaurant has been around since 1929, they are one of the oldest family operated restaurants. There was even a movie produced by Raintree Pictures in 2011 to capture Spring Court's memorable years in Great World. We ordered 2 rolls of Popiah, Roasted Chicken, Steamed Soon Hock, Braised Dried Oysters and Assorted Vegetables with Black Moss, Tofu with Minced Meat and Spinach and last but not least, Braised Noodles with Shredded Meat. For the Popiah, it is very tasty and filled with alot of ingredients like bean sprouts, fried bean curd, carrots, strips of turnip, minced hard boiled eggs and minced meat. For the Roast Chicken, the skin is nice and crispy on the outside and the meat taste fragrant but it is a little salty due to the salt that was sprinkled on the chicken. The Steamed Soon Hock is delicious and fresh, the fish was cooked with light soya sauce and other spicies and it tastes very good. The Braised Dried Oysters ans Assorted Vegetables with Black Moss is tasty, the oyster sauce was poured over the dish hence adding more flavour to the vegetables and mushrooms making it nice and smooth. The Tofu was nice and soft and they sit on a layer of spinach. A generous serving of minced meat in thick sauce was poured over the tofu, making the entire dish very delicious. As for the Braised Noodles with Shredded Meat, I find that it's not too dry and the gravy is not oily especially when your stomach is almost full. Overall I find that the food is pretty good and definitely one of the better ones that I have tasted.

Tuck Kee (Ipoh) Sah Hor Fun
Today I was at Hong Lim Food Centre for lunch. As usual, I was scouting around for good food. I noticed many famous food stalls with long queues but I wanted to check out this stall called Tuck Kee (Ipoh) Sah Hor Fun. As I looked around, I could see many tables with crayfish shells. I know that it must be from this stall so I joined the queue. I waited for about half an hour and ordered a Crayfish Hor Fun with Prawns and a Chicken Hor Fun with Prawns. The crayfish is fresh and succulent, the flesh is also very sweet and juicy. The ingredients are fresh and the chicken is also very tender. The gravy has a rich prawny taste that enhances the flavour of the hor fun and ingredients. The chilli also compliments the dish adding more flavour and spice to the dish. If you like Ipoh Hor Fun, you must definitely try this dish.

If you are at Hong Lim Food Centre and you are craving for a plate of Fried Kway Teow, you must check out this stall called Outram Park Fried Kway Teow Mee. They have won numerous awards and recommendations from several food variety channels. This Fried Kway Teow is very traditional, fried with sweet sauce and chilli as well as ingredients like fish cake, cockles and bean sprouts. The Fried Kway Teow is very fragrant especially when fried with lots of garlic and lard. It is important that the proportion of the sweet sauce and the chilli is just nice when you are frying the Kway Teow or else it will be either too sweet or salty. The stall owner has perfected the recipe and I must say every plate of Fried Kway Teow is very consistent and taste the same. You must try this Fried Kway Teow, yummy!!!
