Ban Mian at Woodlands Koufu

My hubby introduced me to eating ban mian and now it has become of the food that I adore. But I only like the thin ones as it has the best SLURP factor!

I'm not a fan of the 'yellow noodles' or lye water noodles as it has a strong alkaline taste, unlike the ban mian, which is flour base, so it doesn't have the taste that I don't like.

My favourite store has to be the one at Koufu Food Court at Woodlands avenue 6. I've tried a few other stores, but this one is the best:

The ikan bilis is crispy but not too salty.
The minced meat is nice
The vegetable is very generous
The noodles are also very generous with just the right bite to it
The soup is lagi BEST ah...

I usually order without egg as I find that it sticks to everything and affects the taste. Add in some cut chilli padi into the soup to give it extra "kick" and dinner is served!

steaming hot noodles...

Homestyle Two-Bite Brownies

Are you a brownie fan? Or maybe just a chocolate lover?

Then you will love these. I found this selling at the NUS Coop store a few months ago this have since been pushed to my number one spot for BEST SNACK IN A BAG!



Like the name suggest, they are little brownies that can be finished off in two bites. For some packaged dessert, these brownies are surprisingly delicious!!!

They are soft, moist and oh so chocolately. I swear you can never stop at one! Goes superbly with a nice hot cuppa tea!

Korean Food Store at Food Republic (Wisma)

I remember my brother commenting that he loved eating bibimbab, back in the 90s when Korean food wasn't as popular as it is now. Fast foward 10 years later and the mountain tortoise (me) finally tried bibimbab at Wisma Atrium Food Republic for the first time ever. I'm hooked.

I havn't really tried this wonderful hotstone mixed rice at other Korean food outlet yet, so can I still qualify this store at Wisma Food Republic as the best? :)

I love how the sunny-side-up runny egg yolk gets mixed up with the special sauce and all the lovely vegetables.



Such a hearty meal with everything mixed into one bowl of rice...

Chocolat N' Spice Muffins

My FAVOURITE place for a muffin is the undefeated Chocolat N' Spice. I've been patronising the store for years. My previous office is just next to it, so naturally we were frequent customers. But surprisingly, fanatics can be found even at the Clementi area, my current office.



We always buy in BOXFULS... there are so many different flavours! Orange, cheese, chocolate chip, banana, walnut, blueberry, etc.etc.



But my ultimate favourite is this beauty... Double Chocolate



So chocolately and more importantly, SO SOFT AND MOIST! See the chocolate chips inside!



Go try it - You won't regret it!

Ayam Penyet House

Tucked away at the basement, most people would not even notice this obsure food outlet. Since it's recommended by a friend, I had to try.



We ordered the Ayam Penyet (Chicken Smashed), eggplant penyet, oxtail soup and some chendol to end the meal. Sadly, the eggplant and the chendol CANNOT MAKE IT. But you can try the chicken. The chicken is very tender and crispy! Yum...



The chilli is not as spicy as I would expect it to be... (I have high expectations for indonesian chilli paste!!) Ahem... I'm a spice queen... But it's still spicy nontheless and it goes very well with the chicken and rice.



The oxtail is very flavourful and the bits of meat between the bones are super soft and tender. Good as appetiser or as a meal by itself. They would serve this with rice actually.
