Following my mum’s dialect group, Teochew muay [a.k.a. porridge] is typically what I grew up eating. The highlight at Ye Lai Xiang is their steamed pomfret which received a nod of approval from my fussy mum. I adorned the large assortment of home-cooked style dishes, similarly to what my late grandmother used to cook, at a very economical price!

My mum was craving for a plate of Hokkien mee, after watching a local television programme on it.
We found one that meets her standards near our place, in the West — Their hokkien mee infused in rich broth is served wet with a strong prawn flavour. Each plate [$4 each] comes with 3 prawns, slices of sotong, pork belly strips, fried pork lard and no beansprouts [Yay, that save me the time to pick out the beansprouts!].

The pork satay is simply SHIOK and probably the best I have ever had! The tender grilled meat with charred bits has a sweet coating and delightful strips of fat between the meat that just melt-in-your-mouth. We are already looking forward to our next meal here!

Grab the last chance to have a meal at Genki Sushi on a weekday afternoon [yup, it’s the final day of the March school holiday], without having to queue for an estimated 120 minutes [which is the norm on weekends].
The mini don @$6.00 is our favourite with its affordable price in smaller portion [than the regular donburi] — giving my stomach ample space to enjoy a variety of dishes.

Slurping up a nutritious bowl of soup that’s full-bodied with intense flavours and comes with generous ingredients — chicken, mushroom, fish maw, mock abalone slice and dried oyster, to nourish my body 🛌.

School’s out, food’s in! Here’s my first attempt at gong gong [just love saying it out] a.k.a. sea snails. It was great fun, trying to tug the meat out of the shells and yes, I did put in some effort to yank out all of it on my own. The prized meat was exceptionally fleshy and chewy too!

What a find! This rather ulu zi char place located at the quiet, old Bukit Ho Swee estate serves an impressive oyster omelette with soft-fluffy texture, mixed with sambal chilli on a sizzling hotplate. 😍
Another dish, we adore is the ter kah [a.k.a. pig trotter] bee hoon. The flavours is robust and has a good wok hei [a.k.a. wok breath] served with plenty of ingredients such as mushroom, chestnut and cabbage.

The luscious and flavourful egg gravy paired with precooked fried kway teow [a.k.a. flat rice noodles], surprisingly with a slight char flavour [a.k.a. wok hei] as well as beef slices at $4.50, is rather satisfying and economical too!

The wobbly stack of airy soufflé pancakes topped with a large dollop of whipped cream, and served with a scoop of butter + maple syrup is delightfully delicious to eat and pretty to look at! I ranked the Classic version — my favourite among the other assorted flavours.

What’s the craving of the week? Fried oyster omelette!
Frankly, the pan-fried oysters and egg from PUTIEN’s Oyster Festival menu is nondescript. The 🦪 ain’t plump & luscious and the pan-fried 🍳 isn’t crispy or fluffy. Well, I will continue looking around for a good plate of fried oyster omelette [egg] then.

A good plate of chicken rice on a weekend late-afternoon. What a bliss! ❤️ their steamed chicken in huge chunks with glistering, silky-smooth skin. Happy weekend!
