The humble minced pork is one of the most common and yet grossly underrated ingredients in Chinese cuisine. Paired with other ingredients, it has a subtly sweet and rich flavour from the pork fat.
Roughly minced pork with pieces of salted fish is steamed in a metal plate. It reminds me of a hand smashed burger patty with a good firm bite but yet remains juicy. The salted fish adds to a savoury and umami laden touch to this dish. I am not too sure but I thought there was a touch fermented beancurd or prawn paste in the dish as well but that may be the salted fish at work!
For a "balanced" diet, I highly recommend their fried bitter gourd with sliced fish.
The bitter gourd is crunchy and subtly sweet. Lightly battered sliced fish belly is added and the dish is finished with a fermented black bean sauce.
I like that you can taste the distinct flavours of each ingredient - the bitter sweetness of the bitter gourd, the rich creamy fish belly and the savoury fermented black bean. Yet, the flavours are well balanced and meld harmoniously.
For someone who hates bitter gourd, I must say that this dish was surprisingly good!
Hong Kong Style Kitchen (港式小炒) is a stall in the Toa Payoh Lorong 4 market run by a Hong Kong Cantonese couple serving da pai dang style dishes.
There is no menu per se but the stall helpfully lists some of their signature dishes on the signboard. They ran out of their signature steamed fish that night so we tried their sweet & sour fish. For slightly over $20, you get an entire deep fried grouper fish. The fish skin was shattering crisp and we were surprised to find the fish meat moist, flaky and steamy hot. The sweet and sour sauce also also well balanced and excellent with both the fish and over rice.
We definitely enjoyed the meal and have been back several times since! The food is always great and affordable.
Always a pleasure visiting the most underrated bakery in Toa Payoh! No I’m not eating all of these myself, but these are just a snapshot of the sweet treats I’m sending out to people for christmas, to celebrate making it to the end of the year! The nutella cookies have always been my favourite, it’s a crowd pleaser. But on this trip I discovered the pistachio & cranberry cookies… it wasn’t as impressive as the nutella on first bite, but gosh it was amazingly addictive! Not sweet at all, crisp and the nuts were so fresh and how do I say this… real. Each piece was irregularly sized, handmade perfectly imperfect in my opinion. I also discovered the milo coffee swiss roll on this trip, best one so far… richer & creamier than the rest! ❤️

Grateful for places that open late! Mama noodles hit the spot late at night. Though their dishes are always a tax sweet. Refreshing lemongrass tea

This Hokkien mee was so much better than when I had it a few years ago! Got wok hei, flavourful stock. Haven’t tried it since then cos I eat at the other Hokkien mee stall anyway. But now that it tastes so good, I know where to go when I want a different style!
