Fu Shi Traditional Roasted. Wanton Noodles (福市 传统 烧腊. 云吞面) I finally got a chance to try out the roasted delicacy from this staIl after several failed attempts. I ordered a plate of Roast Pork with Char Siew Rice for S$3.50. The Roast Pork is delicious, the skin is crispy on the outside and the meat is tender. The layer of fats seems to dissolve in your mouth yet it's not too oily. The Char Siew is also very tender and it has been roasted till it's slightly charred, the meat is well marinated with the char siew sauce. The rice is so fragrant and tasty that you can even eat it on it's own. The braised sauce also goes well with the rice. This is one of the better Roast Pork and Char Siew I have tasted. Must try! Rating: 8.5/10 (Good, Must Try)

Lai Wah Restaurant It has more than a year since I patronized this restaurant called Lai Wah Restaurant. This restaurant has a long history and has been around since 1963. This is also the first restaurant to serve the Chinese New Year Yu Sheng.
Here's what we have ordered:
- Pi Pa Duck
The Pi Pa Duck is crispy on the outside and the meat is tender on the inside. However, I find that that sauce was kindof too sweet and does not go well with the duck maybe because the duck itself has a strong flavour.
- Mandarin Stewed Chicken
This dish is my all time favourite, the chicken is very delicious, it is stewed till it's nice and soft and it has absorbed the goodness of the sauce in which you can also find tau kee and black fungus in it. I would highly recommend that you try this dish or you will regret.
- Crispy Squids with Salted Egg Yolk
The Crispy Squid is indeed crispy, the crust is coated with salted egg yolk that makes the dish very fragrant.
- Beancurd with Fish Maw, Sea Cucumber and Vegetables
The Beancurd is also very tasty, it is s silky and smooth, accompanied with fish maw, sea cucumber and vegetables. The fish maw and sea cucumber is nice and soft and more importantly, it goes well with the braised sauce that makes the dish very tasty.
- Stir Fry Sambal Long Beans
I find that Sambal Long Beans is pretty normal but I must say that their sambal chilli is very fragrant. This dish could have been even better if the long beans are cooked till it's softer and sprinkled with small crispy fried shrimps.
- Seafood Braised Rice
The Braised Rice is tasty and the rice is slightly charred, adding more flavour to the dish. You can find seafood such as prawns, sotong and sliced fish that is very fresh. The braised sauce tastes light yet delicious and more importantly, it is not oily.
Overall, I find that their food is pretty good and the restaurant has lots of hidden treasures that I have yet to try out. You must also check this place out yourself to believe.

Joo Chiat Prawn Mee It has been quite a while since I check out a new food stall to recommend. Today, I was at Crane Road to check out this stall called Joo Chiat Prawn Mee. I ordered a bowl of Pork Rib Kway Teow dry with chilli and Prawn Bee Hoon dry with chilli for S$5.00 each. The Kway Teow was silky and smooth, it goes very well with the chilli and the dish was garnished with lots of fried spring onions, making it very fragrant. The soup was very tasty, it is filled with the goodness from the prawn and pork ribs. However, I find that if the pork ribs are more tender, it would have been perfect. The Bee Hoon also goes well with the chilli and the fried spring onions is an important ingredient to the dish. It's a pity that the prawns are not very fresh and it sticks to the shell. Overall, I find that the soup is superb, so are the chilli and spring onions. You can give it a try if you are around the area. Rating: 7.5/10 (Good, Can Try)

Bedok Corner Hokkien Prawn Mee Today was my first time at Bedok Corner Food Centre, I didn't even know that there was a hawker centre in this part of the island. I was being recommended to check out this Hokkien Mee stall called Bedok Corner Hokkien Prawn Mee. When I was there, I joined the queue and ordered a plate of Hokkien Prawn Mee for S$4.00. The cook fried the Hokkien Mee with lots of seafood stock and it was well-abosrbed by the noodle. I find that the Hokkien Mee can be tastier if the stock is thicker and more flavourful. Lard is also missing in this dish. If you like your Hokkien Mee wet, you will definitely enjoy this. Overall, I find that this Hokkien Mee is pretty good and you can check out this place if you happen to pass by the area. Rating: 6.5/10 (Above Average)

Hai Chua Fishball Minced Meat Mee Today I was at Boon Lay Place Food Village to check out this Fishball Noodles stall called Hai Chua Fishball Minced Meat Mee. Heard that this stall was patronise by one of our local celebrity chef and named as one of his favourite Mee Pok stall. I had wanted to check out this stall a couple of times previously but it was either closed or already sold out for the day. I realised that they open in the morning and usually sold out by noon. I ordered a bowl of Mee Pok dry for S$3.00. The doneness of the Mee Pok was springy and just nice. The fishball was bouncy and fresh, not forgetting the minced meat and sliced pork is also tender, I must say that their fresh ingredients bought me over. I find that their chilli sauce can be better if it is more spicy to add more flavour to the dish. If they add lard, it will also help to make the dish more fragrant. You can check out this stall if you are around the area. Rating: 7/10 (Good, Can Try)

Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King It has been quite a while since I had Ramen. Today, I went to check out this Japanese Ramen Restaurant called Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King with my wife. Heard that they serve very good and authentic Ramen. When I was there, I noticed a queue waiting outside the restaurant. My orders were taken while we were waiting for a table. They also served free Japanese Barley drink to waiting patrons. Here's what we have ordered:
- Tonkotsu Ramen With Flavoured Egg
The Tonkotsu Ramen is delicious, the soup base has a rich pork flavour that goes very well with the noodles. The doneness of the noodles is nice and springy. The sliced pork that was added into the ramen is tender and the flavoured egg is also soft like tofu. The flavoured egg is one of the better ones I have ever tasted. You must try it yourself to believe.
- Black Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen Special (All Toppings)
The Black Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen Special has a thick and rich soup base. The difference is that they use black pepper to give it that tinge of spiciness. You can find ingredients like black fungus, seaweed, flavoured egg and sliced pork. The combination was perfect adding more flavour to the dish.
It is also interesting to note that the restaurant serves a free flow of egg (normal hardboil egg) and beanspouts to go with your ramen. Although the restaurant is small and perhaps does not look very clean, I felt that the ramen is good enough to neglect the factors.
Overall I find that this is one of the better Ramen I have tasted. You must give it a try! Rating: 8.5/10 (Good, Must Try)

Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck Today I was at Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck for lunch with my wife. This is my first time at the restaurant. Heard that their Peking Duck is pretty good but unfortunately we could not try it as we did not pre-order it. Here's what we have ordered instead: -
- Deep Fried Beancurd Skin
The Deep Fried Beancurd Skin is very crispy on the outside and stuffed with fresh prawns on the inside. I find that the ingredients used like the prawns are very fresh.
- Siew Mai
The Siew Mai is filled with fresh prawns making it very crunchy and the overall texture wholesome.
- Steamed Minced Pork Dumpling
The Steam Minced Pork Dumpling is very good, the soup is filled with the goodness from the minced pork. Every mouthful of the dumpling is simply statisfying.
- BBQ Pork Rice Roll
The BBQ Rice Roll is very smooth and silky and goes well with the sweet sauce but I find that it can be even better if the rice roll is even thinner and the BBQ Pork should be less fatty.
- BBQ Pork Pastry
The BBQ Pork Pastry is delicious, the BBQ sauce is very well done making the pork very tasty. However, I find that the BBQ Pork is a little fatty. I'm quite particular about BBQ Pork. Personally I think that BBQ Pork must be slightly charred and less fatty.
- Egg Tart
The Egg Tart is delicious, the egg custard is soft and smooth. The pastry is light and flaky. This is one of the best Egg Tarts I have tasted.
- XO Sauce Noodle
The XO Sauce Noodle is basically Mee Pok with XO sauce. I must say that the doneness of the Mee Pok was very good, the texture was springy and it goes well with the XO sauce. This simple dish is pretty good but I find that you can do it yourself if you can find good Mee Pok and XO sauce.
Overall, the total bill come up to S$52.40, I find that the ingredients are fresh and the quality is pretty good but I find that it is kind of pricey for a simple meal like this. You can check out this place if you are shopping around the area. Rating: 8/10 (Good, Must Try)

Charly T'S Today, I was at Charly T'S restaurant to check out the food there with my wife. The restaurant has a nice cosy ambience that is suitable for couples or a group of friends to hang out. Here's what we ordered:
- Charly T'S Famous Rotisserie Quarter Chicken
The Chicken is delicious and the skin has absorbed the goodness of the marinade and spices, making it very tasty. The chicken is also very juicy even though it is breast meat. The Chicken goes well with the Salsa sauce and Sesame sauce that are served on separate dishes.
- Side Dish (German Potato Salad and Macaroni and Cheese)
The German Potato Salad was pretty good, the potato was nice and soft. Sprinkled with bacon bits, this dish was a plesant surprise. It definitely tastes much better than it looks. In fact, it is one of the better ones I have tasted - not creamy nor oily and yet it can bring out the goodness of the potatoes. A very simple and light dish that is good till the very last mouthful. As for the Macaroni and Cheese, I find that I will give this dish a miss.
- Chicken Schnitzel
The chicken part used for the Schnitzel was chicken breast and therefore the fillet was thick. The bread crumbs was crispy but I find that it's kindof bland and can be tastier. It may be better if it was served with some brown or mushroom sauce at the side.
- Tangy Wings
Although the doneness was great, the Tangy Wings are way too salty for any human palate. Serious! It was so salty we couldn't leave the restaurant without reflecting it to the restaurant staff. You may have better luck if they consider our feedback and improve on the dish. Rating: 7/10 (Good, Can Try)

Fong Kee Delicacies After a plate of Duck Rice. I decided to order a plate of Pan Fried Dumplings to fill the remaining space in my stomach. I ordered the dumplings from this stall called Fong Kee Delicacies. The Pan Fried Dumpling was filled with minced meat and vegetables. The gravy from the minced meat and vegtables was oozing out with every mouthful of the dumpling but I find that it would have been better if the dumplings were crispier. You can order this as a side dish to share. Rating: 6.5/10 (Above Average)

Ah Seng Braised Duck Rice Today, I was at Serangoon Garden Food Centre for my favourite Roti John. However when I was there, I noticed that the stall was no longer there. Therefore, I decided to order duck rice from Ah Seng Braised Duck Rice instead. It has been quite long since the last time I ate from the stall. I ordered a plate of Duck Rice with Lor Bak. The duck was still as good and very fragrant. The stewed sauce tastes just like home cooked food, the stewed sauce goes well with the duck and lor bak. The Lor Bak is cooked till it's nice and soft, even the layer of fat is fragrant, though very sinful. The chilli sauce goes well with the duck and lor bak as it has a sourish taste making it very appetising. The is one of the better Braised Duck Rice I have tasted. Rating: 8/10 (Good, Must Try)
