NOODLES, BEANCURD & OTAH @ Jalan Kayu

1) HE JI NOODLES

This route of eating, from noodles to beancurd is the NORM for me whenever I am over at Jalan Kayu for lunchie.

First, I will head to He Ji for their QQ noodles. I love chilli, but with this noodles, I like the version with just the black sauce (and no chilli). I ordered the Noodles with dumplings today.
*note: Go for their Mee-Gia, their Mee-Pok somehow just ain't tasty.

The dumplings that came with my noodles. Nice and tasty.

This is their regular noodles with charsiew. Not sure whether they marinate their own char siew but there sure is lots of room for improvement on their roast. IMHO, what they serve was merely colored meat, not roasted char siew.

But, undeniable, their noodles is good. Very the Q ^^

Their fried wanton with paper-thin skin and mayo dip makes an irresistable appetizer. When u pop, u can't stop.

Ordered something different today. We tried their fried wings. It was just out from the fryer, skin was crispy, meat was tender and not over-fried. Not bad.



2) SELEGIE SOYA BEAN (jalan kayu branch)

Then, I'll head for my favorite soya beancurd. Mr Bean, Jollybean just can't match up with THIS beancurd. Its so smooth it practically melts in your mouth.

Thanxs to an evil counterpart, I have change from my usual soymilk WITHOUT SUGAR SYRUP to soy milk WITH GULA MELAKA.
But, really. This is so darn sinfully yummy.



3) HIANG SOON OTAH

The famous Jalan Kayu Otah.

I grab more than a dozen of spicy & non-spicy (for the princess) on the way back.

HOCK HENG BEEF LAKSA @ Blk 233 Ang Mo Kio

I love beef.
I love laksa.
This is Beef Laksa ( :

Strategically located near Uncle Leong Seafood (Blk 233, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3. Its the coffeeshop just opposite Mellben), this little stall has garnered many awards and recommendations.

This was indeed something very different. The beef was tender and sweet though I would have prefer if they slice it up a little bigger rather than clump up many thin and small slices. The gravy was pretty decent (don't forget to mix in the chilli given, it makes a whole lot of difference) though I find it a tad too watery.
Ha, just minuscule gripes. I will definitely head back for more ( :

Quoting my bro: " This is HUMful."
They were generous in the cockles they gave and oh yes it's definitely not healthy, but gimme another plate anytime : P

Mixed Beef Soup.
Oooohh, how I love my moomoo. Fresh beef, sirloin, beef stomach, beef tendon, beef tripe, beef balls.
The tendon was melt-in-the mouth and the tripe, stomach was tender to the bite. And the chinchalok+chili was a great dip!
The soup didn't have the robust and strong taste unlike some others, but maybe it's because they didn't add much msg? Well, I sure didn't have a thirst for water thereafter : )

THANKS to a gorgeous lady for the reccomendation, I will definitely be back ( :

Another gluttony day with my bro.
Pics of the applecheesecake which we had barely 30mins after this has not been posted.

MEE REBUS @ Banquet Parkway Parade

The last time I was there, I saw many plates of this mee rebus on many tables. It looked good. The plate that it was served in looks.. HUGE.

Finally got to try it today. The bowl was huge. So was the serving.

The noodles looked "drowned" in chinese parsley, shallots, bean sprouts and green chili. Gravy was a tad too thick for my liking and noodles a little too soft, I always prefer my noodles al dente. And gosh, the heaps of green chili they tossed in could set my mouth ablaze, I gave up picking them out when I saw the zillions of chili seeds:- my myopia will increase if I even make an attempt.
The generous sprinkle of condiments was an overkill, everything was so jumble up I can't differentiate what I was putting into my mouth.

And, I have never had a plate of mee rebus in Singapore served American-portion. I could barely finish half of it.

What they provide in quantity, they compromise on the quality :(
