Fu Lin Tou Fu Yuen (福林豆腐园
It has been a couple of years since I patronised this Yong Tau Foo stall called Fu Lin Tou Fu Yuen. This is one of my favourite Yong Tau Foo stalls. As usual, I like it 'dry' whereby they will deep fry the items. The items are deep fried till it's nice and crispy. Then they will pour their special minced chicken sauce over the Yong Tau Foo to add more flavour to the dish. You must order the Cuttlefish You Tiao. I will also order their bee hoon which is covered with their special minced chicken sauce. The bee hoon goes very well with the sauce. The texture of the bee hoon is smooth and with the special sauce, they glide down your throat.
This is one Yong Tau Foo stall that you must not miss!

Heng Gi Goose and Duck Rice
Braised Goose is one dish that you will not normally find in hawker centres. I happen to chance upon this stall called Heng Gi Goose and Duck Rice located at Tekka Food Centre. As usual, you will see a queue at the stall especially during lunch time. I ordered the goose meat as well as goose liver. The goose meat was tender and the braised sauce was not too salty. The goose liver tasted very creamy and wholesome. The texture is just nice, not too hard nor dry. The braised sauce also goes well with the white rice. Having said that, I must also say that there is not much significant difference between the goose meat and duck meat if you don't pay enough attention to it. Nevertheless, this is one rare dish in Singapore and you should give it a try if you happen to be around the area.

Lao Huang Hakka Niang Tou Fu
When it comes to Yong Tau Foo, Hakka Yong Tau Foo is my favourite. Instead of fish paste fillings, you will usually find meat fillings in Hakka Yong Tau Fu. There is a stall located at North Bridge Road Market and Food Centre called Lao Huang Hakka Niang Tou Foo that serves pretty good Hakka Yong Tau Foo. I love the deep fried items such as the bean curd, meat ball and ngoh hiang. If you like your Yong Tau Foo with noodles, you must order their Minced Meat Noodles to go along. The minced meat is very fragrant because they fried the minced meat with fried onions. The texture and the doneness of the noodles is just nice and springy too. If you like Hakka Yong Tau Foo, you should check out this stall.

Ke Shaun Xing Fried Carrot Cake
Whenever I have craving for Fried Carrot Cake (Black), I will think of this stall called Ke Shaun Xing Fried Carrot Cake located at North Bridge Road Market and Food Centre. The Fried Carrot Cake (Black) is not too sweet or too salty and it tastes just right. The carrot cake is nice and soft, I love it when it is piping hot, straight from the frying pan. The hawker is generous with the eggs making the dish even more tasty. This is one of the favourite Fried Carrot Cake (Black) stalls that I like to patronise, you should give it a try if you are around the area.

You Huak Restaurant Today I checked out this famous White Bee Boon located at Sembawang called You Huak Restaurant. It is also known as Sembawang White Bee Hoon. When I was there, I noticed that there were people waiting for seats. As I scanned the eating house, there is a plate of White Bee Hoon on almost every table. I ordered a plate of Seafood White Bee Hoon, Meat and Seafood Roll and Indo Style Fried Chicken Wings. The Seafood White Bee Hoon was delicious, it has a strong seafood flavour and fresh ingredients. The bee hoon has absorbed the seafood gravy making it very tasty. The Meat and Seafood Roll is also pretty good, the outer crust is crispy and soft and tender on the inside. Lastly, the Indo Style Fried Chicken Wings are fried till it's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The chicken is well marinated making it very tasty. Overall, I find that the food is pretty good and will definitely look forward to coming back again. Rating: 8/10 (Good, Must Try)

Lobster Porridge Long Xia Zhou Shi Jia I am somewhat into Lobster Porridge these days. You will expect this dish to be rich in flavour especially when you use ingredients like the lobster. True enough, the soup has a rich lobster taste. The natural goodness of the lobster makes the soup and porridge extremely sweet and tasty. The flesh of the lobster is succulent and fresh but it will be even better if the lobster is bigger. It's a perfect dish for a rainy day. Here are some of the other dishes that we have ordered:
- Meijiang Smoked Duck Braised
The Smoked Duck is delicious, it is not too salty and the doneness of the duck is nice and tender. The skin has been smoked until it's crispy on the outer crust. This is one of the better ones I have tasted.
- Steamed Gentian Fish
The Steamed Gentian Fish is quite tasty especially with the special sauce that goes well with fish.

I find that this dish is pretty good, the spicy sauce has a tinge of sourish taste that makes it very appetising.

The Fried Chicken is very tasty, it has been nicely marinated and has a strong taste of the garlic making it very fragrant. I find that this dish is pretty good.
- Tofu with Crabmeat
I find that this dish is pretty good, the tofu is smooth and silky. It was served in thick gravy and you can find shreds of crabmeat in the gravy.
- Stir Fried French Bean with Dried Shrimp
I find that this dish is pretty normal. I guess I would prefer home cooked French Beans instead. Nothing beats home cooked food.
- Shrimp Rolistick
Eating the Shrimp Rolistick is like eating thin springroll stuffed with prawn meat. It is pretty good but has to be eaten while it's nice and hot.
- Soft Shell Crab / Shimeiji Mushroom with Naibai Vegetables / Seafood Gyoza
Just one word - NORMAL.
Overall, I find the food is pretty good, you can check out this place to try out this unique delicacy. Rating: 7/10 (Good, Can Try)

Kenny Rogers Roasters (Suntec City Mall) It has been a couple of years since the last time I had Kenny Rogers. Today, I decided to visit the outlet at Suntec City Mall to satisfy my craving for chicken. I have tried other outlets but I feel that the quality of the food seems to be better at the Suntec City Mall outlet. As usual, I ordered a quarter Chicken and for my sides I ordered a Mashed Potato and Macaroni with Cheese. The chicken was just as good and the chicken was well marinated and roasted to perfection, the skin was also very tasty. For the sides, the Mash Potato was smooth and creamy making it a good combination with the gravy. The Macaroni and Cheese was delicious; The doneness of the macaroni was just right and the cheese was very thick and rich, this is one of the better macaroni and cheese I have tasted. Their corn muffins are baked till nice and soft on the inside, you can also find a few corn kernels. Overall, I find that the food is pretty good and they have maintained their quality and standards over the years. Rating: 7.5/10 (Good, Must Try)
