Located at Commonwealth Ave Cooked Food Center, Hai Kee Teochew Char Kuay Teow remains to be one of my favorite Char Kuay Teow in Singapore. At S$2.50 generous amount of See hum (Blood cockles) thrown in, it’s really good value for money. Besides that, the Wok Hei is fantastic and friendly uncle is ever so accommodating to customer various requests.

Lately, I found that he has a website @ http://www.haikee.com.sg/
I wonder why he would ever need to have that *chuckle*, the long queue is always there daily!

It was a very sleepy & lazy Sunday. Really felt laze in the bed for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, I still have laundry to clear, errands to run etc *sighz* For some reasons, when I get lazy, I don’t feel like eating big meals. I usually opt for light food, but there are nothing in the fridge! argh!!!!!!

I did have canned pineapple and Brahims’s Kuah Pajeri (Parjei Sauce) which I bought recently while in Malaysia, Johor. I bought the sauce because I don’t remember seeing Kuah Pajeri in Singapore Supermarket. So Pajeri Nenas (Pineapple) it will be!

I missed the last sunset on 31 Jan 2007! Oh well, I wasn’t expecting any good sunset considering that it been raining daily for past few days. But it seems 31 Dec 2007 was special, unfortunately, I was still at work. I tried to rush to Kent Ridge Park hoping for good last glimpse of sunset and that all I could catch *sighz*

I seems to have serious symptoms of Ramen withdrawal regularly eversince my visit to Kyushu@2006. A recap from my Ramen Adventures in Kyushu in 2006 can be found below (there are more if you search my Japan posts)

Ramen#2::hakata
Ramen#3::sapporo
Ramen#4: kyoto
Ramen#5: kagoshima

Fortunately, there are Japan food fair held regularly here. It’s Hokkaido Fair this time and there are always a wide varieties of Ramen to choose from (Price $8 ~ $16). I’m so glad to have my “cure” without leaving on a jetplane. I’ve chosen the Golden Miso Ramen.

It seems that I’m having a luck streak when it comes to finding food. I didn’t plan much for this Bangkok Trip, but I keep nailing on the right eatery that eventually becomes “one of my favorite”. Pomodora Spaghetteria & Pizzeria is yet another one!

A very casual Italian dining right in the Emporium Food Mall. With tired legs and growling tummy, I’m just too anxious to have all those fixed soon. While there were Japanese, Chinese etc but I realize I haven’t tried Italian for many moons. Hence Pomodora it shall be! But what really makes me smiles is when I spotted one of my favourite italian food on the menu. It’s black like ink, stains like black ink, it’s from the sea … wanna make it guess before clicking on the more? ;P

Earlier, I talk about the eye candy of TCDC that would probably left you in mesmerized state. To complete your sensory delights, you just need to step into Bharani restaurant which is just beside the entrance of TCDC.

Being my first visit, I wasn’t aware Bharani restaurant already have 60 years of history behind them. Lieutenant Aphai Isarabhakdi had opened Bharani restaurant since 1949. The restaurant become well known for their western dish with thai twists. From minute steaks and French-style bouillabaisse, sausages that mingled seamlessly with thai exotic flavors.

60 years later and now run by 3rd generation owner, they still proudly insist to follow their grandfather’s original recipes, whipping up delicious old-styled of home cooked meals. In fact, most (if not all) of their staples on offer were home-made.

very free today .. so post a little more hahahahaha!

Goma Dare (Sesame Sauce) is one of the dipping sauce that’s served along with shabu shabu. The nutty, piquant sauce goes very well with meats & even vegetables. I like to use it as dip with boiled broccoli and even cucumber, young corns & carrots. And sometimes on Salad greens as well too!

I like my goma sauce roasted & coarse, usually got them from local japanese supermarket here. With the conveniences of ready made sauce, it’s so easy & quick to whip up a healthy snack. And no, I have no intention to make goma dare myself at home even if I have the recipe, because I’m just too lazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy hahahaha …

btw, I did add a little sesame oil to pump up their aroma!

slurp!

Remember the Konjac Noodle I tasted at Bangkok, Kobune Restaurant?
Bangkok2007: Kobune Japanese Restaurant

Here is my poor attempt. You can get these packs of Konjac from Japanese supermarket like Meiya-da

Remember the last Passion Fruit post HERE? I thought that was my last, but I met up with Passion Fruit again while I was in Bangkok recently.

Fortunately, this is also going to be the best passion fruit I’ve tasted so far! Thin skin, lots of fruit pulps, extremely aromatic & sweet

:)

Given the popularity of Bangkok to Japanese Tourists, it’s not surprising to see so many Japanese Restaurant in Bangkok alone. From high end to budget - Kobune belongs to another domestic budget Japanese Restaurant along with Oishii, Fuji, Sakae etc.
