The excitement of life

Here it comes food review from me… Here is the 3 place recently I went and tried the food, Maybe I’ll start with TB market chix rice… It used to be my fav roasted chix rice stall in Singapore when I still stay ard TB, but last week I went back there and have a plate for lunch, strangely it’s not as good as it used to be which is a disappointment for me since I’ve to go and find another stall that sell a good one. But the taste is still good though but not WOW… The other famous chix rice stall I’ve visited long time ago is Tian-Tian chix rice stall at Maxwell food centre (hopefully it’s correct), the one that Chef Anthony Bourdain visited when he come to Singapore, for me it’s just okay, not that WOW although there’s a long queue involved in getting a plate of rice in both stall, hehe. Last but not least is Boon Tong Kee @River valley, The skin of the roasted chix is good, but the meat kinda dry, so still not the best, haha… Next one I’m going to try is Wee Nam Kee (@Novena)

Now enough for chix rice, move on to Bah Kut Teh. until now the best Bah Kut Teh (clear soup, not the dark one like in M’sia)for me  is @Balliestier rd which called Famous Bah Kut Teh. A unique restaurant that most of the wall is covered with photos of the owner with celebrity or famous people (including Chow Yun Fat). The soup is a lil bit pepper hot but a good accompaniment for the rice and the pig throtle and salted vegs is not b ad either. But as a food explorer still have to try the other one which I heard as good as FBKT is behind shell petrol station at Jalan Besar (Must go and try :p)

Moving on to prata and indian food. Few places I visited, but I’ll review only two which is The prata house @Thomson and the one @Jalan Kayu (sori I forgot the name). @Thomson, I went there with few of my classmate back when I’m in service excellence course. The Paper prata is really good, the ayam masalla is not bad either although the bryani rice, other flavor prata, indian rojak and murtabak is so so only. Move on to the one @Jalan kayu. Went there on my bday this year with few lembeierz (thx peeps for the bday surprise and lovely dinner, oops), the prata is quite good, the mutton curry is faboulous so did the Ice teh tarik, nyam… But the other food is just so so…

Last review in this post is going to the steak. I’ve tried few places for steak. So far I can give you review on 2 places, Botak Jones @Youth Council near by Cineleisure and Outback steak at Marina Square. Outback, I went there with Pops, try the steak and onion. The bloomingonion is bitter and weird which I bite once and return it back to the server (oops my bad) but I’m not asking for change just ommited it from the bill. Then pops tried the sirloin and I tried the ribeye. The meat is kinda tough although I requested for medium and so did the one pops tried with MW doneness. So the place is kinda dissapointing. Then for Botak Jones this is my 3rd time there,fast forward to the last one.last week after Push movie @Cine. He ordered rosmary lamb chop with FF and coleslaw, while I ordered 300 g OZ prime ribeye with Medium Doneness with FF and baked potato. The food is surprisingly good despite the price. The lamb chop is as good as last time I ordered it although the rosemary sauce is not a good accompaniment for the steak.The ribeye is also good, not chewy and hard, instead it’s tender where the FF is also good although the baked potato is just okay. Actually there’s one more restaurant I can review regarding steak and ribs which is Tony Roma’s since I worked there before and I’ve tried most of their menu, but it’ll be a long story then, haha… maybe next time.
