Malaysia Boleh🌺

This soup Bee Hoon checked all the boxes: clear “fragrant” (I will explain this) broth, lots of spring onion and coriander, spicy but more importantly savory chilli sauce, smooth silky rice noodle, fresh ingredients - you can literally taste the hand-made freshness of the fish paste! Added additional topping of 福州丸 Fook Chew Fishball with Pork fillings. And if all these are just not enough, this warm bowl of fabulous goodness comes with a shot of 花雕酒 Chinese HuaDiao wine that you should not hesitate to add to the broth, the aroma (hence the soup is fragrant) and flavors just shot through the roof!

First time coming across this restaurant which serves a variety of less common street food of Malaysia in a no-frill clean environment within the malls; giving the old guards like Old Town, some healthy competition. This curry Chee Cheong Fun (steamed rice roll) has all the elements of a good comfort food: fresh curry, soft silky rice roll, fried fishball, fishcake and soy skin roll. Though not a common combo here in Singapore it was throughly enjoyable.

At RM23 a bowl, this is not a simple bowl of street noodles that locals can afford. Even when the small bowl come served with 3 prawns, some slices of fish, julienned cuttlefish and loads of lala claims, I still find the price a little steep. Choose between curry, tomyum or original; and if you can’t decide you can order “cham” 参 or a mixture of tomyum and curry. Choose again between yellow noodle, bee hoon, maggie, yee-mee or Lai-fun (Penang laksa noodle)... I personally still prefer our Singapore curry or laksa, because curry to me is down to very personal palate.

Once you approach this shop, you will be waves of herbal aroma pounce onto you Chunky guilt free pork belly cubes that has the right consistency and texture that satisfy your crave for fats and yet doesn’t leave any greasiness. The big intestine is to die for! Unlike any other I have tried, it’s rolled into a ball and with thin layers of each membrane arranged like a Mille-Feuille of porky goodness.

First time enjoying a curry version of this Kolo noodle and finding it really enjoyable. Most would be familiar with their stirred-dry version with char siew, wanton and minced pork.

Cheap and excellent nasi padang from Qin Garden Kopitiam in Johor Bahru. Their rice was was super fragrant, and their dishes were great - tasty with a good variety. Recommended dishes would be their fried chicken and beef rendang. Fried chicken had a nice crisp skin, while the beef was tender and chunky. Also, make sure to pour some of that yummy curry sauce over your rice - we were pleasantly surprised at how good it was!

Another childhood breakfast favorite lost-and-found. Sprinkle the brown sugar and grated coconut onto of the steamy hot rice vermicelli pancake, and that's its ready to eat.

Reminiscent of the delicious apam I had in Sri Lanka. This rendition included kaya oozing from in its soft and plush middle. The outer ring is a total different crisp texture. Achieved only through a mini wok.

Not so auspicious... 炒魷魚 = getting the sack! First time trying this vegetable which has the texture between spring onion and leek but is slightly sweet in taste

Perfectly executed. This is full of flavours even as a steam fish!
