Adam Road Nasi Lemak - simply shiok!

We had this sometime back but I still remember how good it tasted!
This definitely is on par with the likes of Changi V or Boon Lay Power nasi lemak. 

There are two stalls, with the Muslim and Chinese side by side.

Each had their own queue and looked equally popular.... 

But since Nasi Lemak is a Malay dish, we decided to choose the Malay one. 

So Selera Rasa it was and boy, just look at the food:

A good spread for $5 each, damn shiok; partly because it was cheap too heheh.

We loved the crispiness of the chicken wings and each bite produced a satisfying crunch:

The sambal was definitely kickass and had a fragrant taste of ikan bilis.

I had to blow my nose a few times and we were perspiring in the middle of the meal; 

very tak-glam but for good food, we persevered on.

It paid off, as the spiciness went very well with the fried ikan bilis indeed!

Then came the egg in a gorgeously fried ball, in my favourite style:

Slightly crispy on the edges, with an oozing yolk:

It was so good, and gone fast and furious...

Leaving only the long grained Basmati rice behind:

Deceitfully plain, it was mighty fragrant mind you!

And simply perfect with the thick and spicy otah:

In one hashtag:  #Shiok!

We finished off the spicy meal with a simple ice kachang from the dessert stall right opposite Selera:

Also got queue and newspaper cuttings all. 

Damn power! 

See lah, type until miss this already. 

We will be back, maybe next weekend?

Oasis Taiwan Porridge - Superb shiok comfort food that leaves you wanting more!

It was a night when I felt like having porridge, where it also turned out that we were meeting L &  A for a dinner-turned-supper. And L, the suggestor of good food, recommended Oasis for its delicious sweet potato porridge. 

Me: "SWEET POTATO PORRIDGE?? ON."

Just check that beautiful piece of tuber out:

I love this kind of porridge, where the texture was soft and mashed yet still slightly grainy with a good amount of broth. A plus was the fact that the potato retained a tinge of sweetness, making it a perfect combination with the fermented beancurd ($1.50 per serving) available.

And did I mention the porridge only costs $1.50 for unlimited servings? Really eat until shiok.

Next up, one of the best Braised Pork Intestines I've had for only $8: 

Tender yet firm and very fragrant, with zilch "porky" aftertaste. You know how some intestines leave a bad taste in your mouth after you swallow it right? Be assured, this has none of that and oh dear lords, you just cannot popping them one after another. They were all gone halfway into the meal :'( haha and the pickled vegetables on the side also served as a nice palette cleanser after each bite.

But... the star of the day was definitely the Stewed Pork Belly ($10):

We've always been fans of fatty pork belly and it was truly an orgasmic moment to have this version in our mouths. The meat was wonderfully stewed, as the gelatinious fats complemented the soft pork. Every bite was delightful and we did not get gelat. 

Not even..... o.n.c.e.

Next dish up: Dou Miao ($12):

This was refreshing, crisp and a good change to our "sins" previously haha! But frankly, one does not need vegetables with Porridge though it was nicely done.

Chai poh egg ($8):

Fried to crisp perfection, with a juicy centre and fragrant chai poh. There are some things you just fall in Love with, and this dish was one of them. 

Cockles in sweet & sour sauce  ($9):

I was expecting a drier version with the shells still intact and did not really fancy this though the crustaceans were fresh and plump. I guess it probably goes better with rice!

And viola! 

Our five course supper of the night:

Oasis is definitely recommended and we've been back a 2nd time now! I bet you will enjoy stuffing your faces with the comfort food like we did.

Out, WLF.

Good tze char at Two Chefs!

It was a weekday when we were in the Commonwealth area, and since we were feeling peckish at about 530pm, the one driving, G, suggested Two Chefs.

I was game to try as I heard good reviews about the cold cockles dish & G said the place was good. Steady la.

G was in charge of ordering since he tried it before and we ordered:

1) Cold Cockles

I loved this dish, with its refreshing and spicy sauce, topped with lots of fresh chopped garlic and chili padi. The combination kept me going for one cold cockle after another. Hot stuff indeed. I feared having a tummy ache the next day, but thank goodness, the shells were fresh enough..  pass!

2) Sambal Kangkong

Everybody's all time fave, and the sambal belachan was pretty kickass. Good stuff.

3) Butter Pork Ribs

You know how some times, there is more flour than meat in these pork rib dishes? But boy, every piece was lightly coated with a fragrant batter, served with fried milk powder and packed with juicy, succulent meat. Supershiokkk. At first I thought the milk powder was abit weird but the sweetness of it was well juxtaposed with the delicious salty fragrance of good pork meat.... end up cannot stop. Sigh.

4) Steamed beancurd with golden mushrooms

This was my favourite dish of the day, with its savoury sauce drenching soft beancurd (that had a lightly fried skin) & long golden mushrooms with a q bite. I found this pairing heavenly, a little bit like black pearls with milk tea; where anything else seems wrong.

Glad to find a new place, with good comfort food, and be sure to go before the dinner crowd as I heard the queues can be quite crazy.
