Tandoori House





























During Easter back in Singapore, my Dad brought me to Tandoori House (I think...) at Balestier. The food was good and the prices were reasonable as well. The restaurant is located at a little shopping complex opposite the original Boon Tong Kee. I can't really remember the names of the dishes besides the Tandoori Chicken (the obvious one...), but I would recommend anyone with a liking for Indian food to give this restaurant a shot. When we had our dinner there, this place seemed to be pretty popular with the expats (Ang Mohs). Anyway, enjoy the pictures!

Give Me a Dose of Local Food

Rojak



Mee Goreng



Stir-Fried Mee Sua



Ice Kachang




Us eating Krispy Kremes at 5 am in the morning during the Christmas Holidays!:)))



It's midnight in London. I'm supposed to be doing my work but here I am craving some food from back home. Give me some Nasi Lemak, Mee Goreng, Chicken Rice and Wanton Mee! Aarrrgghh.. I can't wait to go back to Singapore to take pictures of all these food... I miss you my babies!:( Pictures from Serangoon Garden Country Club bring back memories of the good ol' times...

Zion Road

There's lots of good food to be found in the Zion Road area, and i'm not just referring to Spize or Boon Tong Kee or 5 Star chicken rice or Tong Shui Cafe.
Besides Sin Hoi Sai along Tong Bahru Road, Siang Hee at Zion Road serves up really good cze char too, at lower prices. Sorry I didnt get to take a pic of the pork ribs or sambal sweet potato leaves- but be assured that all the dishes were well executed and deserving of a return visit :)

Roast pork trotters at Siang Hee Cze Char, Zion Road



Zion Road FC char kway teow- one of the best char kway teows around. Not too wet, not too dry; just the right balance btwn savoury and sweet.

Red Bean Snow (Raffles City food court)



This deserves special mention- unlike the usual red bean snows u find at HK cafes, where all you get is a small portion of red bean paste coupled with copious amounts of evaporated milk and ice, this gem consists of really well-shaved ice and generous amounts of thick red bean paste, topped with an equally generous amount of azuki red beans from japan. Red bean overload!! But that's the whole point, isn't it? :)



All for S$2.80. I was very very impressed. Think Siew Mai will enjoy this too- we're both fans of red bean desserts. Will make a mental note to take him there in Nov!

Belgo London

Nicoise Salad



Frites! - Super Addictive



Thai Green Curry Mussells



Roast Duck Breast



Chargrilled Aged Prime 10oz* Rib-Eye Steak with Frites



Belgian Waffle with Ice Cream



Belgo London @ Covent Garden is a restaurant very similar to Brussell Sprouts in Singapore. A typical Belgian restaurant, they're famous for their frites and mussells. They've got pretty decent steak and waffles as well. Belgo has this promotion called Beat the Clock! Between 4-6 pm, you pay for the price based on the time you place your order.

Tung Lok Seafood (East Coast Parkway)


1 whole lobster! All for me!! :)


extremely meaty and succulent


I know it's a dish that's been done to death recently, but it remains one of my fav prawn dishes nonetheless. Deep fried jumbo prawns tossed in wasabi mayo- Sam Leong's creation for Tung Lok, best done by Tung Lok imo. Peach Garden does a mean rendition too though. Oh the version Jing at One Fullerton deserves a mention too- will blog about that meal soon :)





Scallops sauteed in crab roe sauce, with broccoli and fried foie gras balls

I love seafood, possibly even more so than Siew Mai!

Addie's Thai Cafe @ Earl's Court

Addie's Thai Cafe



Pad Thai



Thai Dim Sum (Siew Mai) - If there was a miss, this would be it. Very mediocre and not recommended.



Sizzling King Prawns in Red Curry Sauce on a Hot Plate



Seafood Tom Yum Soup



Thai Sukiyaki - I love this...



Milky Way Drink - What better way to wash down the spicy food than with this great drink?



Deep Fried Cod with Morning Glory - Sorry I don't have a better shot of this as my camera was kinda malfunctioning that day. I would recommend this dish only if you love your spicy food. Easily the spiciest dish of the day!




Sizzling Sirloin Beef a.k.a. Weeping Tiger - So good it makes a tiger weep? Okay that was lame:P This dish is very, very popular and unless you don't take beef, you should definitely try this! It's really good!



Stir Fried Roast Duck with Thai Herbs



Seafood with Brandy



I was first introduced to this restaurant by my Thai friend after rugby training. Cold, wet and hungry, this restaurant had all the necessary ingredients to perk me up. After patronising it for the first time, I immediately fell in love with the food. This restaurant definitely serves authentic and unpretentious Thai cuisine to say the least, and complimented by its friendly staff as well as speedy preparation of dishes, Addie's is definitely one of my favourites in London.
