For people who works in NUS or the nearby science parks and research institutes, you can get cheaper food by by visiting the various NUS Canteens. If I am at the Engineering Canteen, my fav store is the Jap stall.
It's almost automatic, I always order Gyu Don (Beef Rice) from this store. $3.50
Lovely and yummy.
Last Friday night, we had dinner with our friends who arrived from Penang - BA and WK.
We went to Jumbo Seafood Gallery, another friend ordered for us. Here's the sumptious dinner we had!
First to arrive was the fried mini octopus.
Then came scallops and yam deepfried.
We then had cereal prawns.
Next was a deep fried toufu dish.
Veg was stirfried kailan with garlic
The steamed fish arrived last.
We had wonderful time of meeting up and chatting :-)
Other than the crab dishes yesterday, we also had other things. There was like 12 of us eating.
This is the cold dish. Look at the nicely carved carrorts. People say that they will be recycled is it true?
The different combi of the cold dish.
For those with not so good eyesight, zoom in for you. haha..
Do you all like Jelly Fish?
This is toufu stuffed pockets. Rather tasty and interesting.
Prawns, the prawn is looking at you!
This is rather unusual. This is mango chicken. Deep fried chicken plus mango on the side.
Fishcakes!
Sambal Asparagus. yum yum...
This is "kiam hee" salted fish fried rice.
Tata.
Looks like no one got it right for yesterday's quiz!
It's called "No Signboard Restaurant" - wu jiao pai.
Maybe that's why you all can't guess, told you the signboards were a decoy. :-p
There's too many photos for one day, so I will split it into two.
Today shall be the Chilli and Pepper Crabs.
While you wait for the food to come up, you eat peanuts! haha.. 
Here's the chilli crabs.
This is the pepper crabs.
For chilli crabs, you eat them with buns. There are two kinds of buns. The plain steaamed ones or the steamed and then deep fried kinds.
We ate other things, come back tomorrow to view the rest of the pictures.
This was where I was last Sunday, enjoying my dinner here at East Coast Seafood Centre. It's somewhere where you can taste one of Singapore's unique dishes. Chilli Crabs and also Pepper Crabs. 
Quiz Time! Where did I have my dinner? There are many many restaurants there. This picture below might be a decoy. haha...
Can you guess where I went?
Last Sunday after church, we all went with a big group to this place in Havelock Road for lunch. We came here before, I think I took the photos before, but never posted them. The kids that was with us said, did not you take the photos already? haha.. It's located at 725 Havelock Rd, S 169647. Here's how the simple simple shop looks.
There's a lunch time combi that you pay $19.80 for 4 dishes. There's a list of 11 dishes in the list. Since we had so many of us, we took 2 sets, so we ordered 8 diff dishes. Here goes...
While we wait for the dishes, here's the peanuts. Very very simple stuff. But still taste good.
It's a place where you get rice served on these old old bowls. 
Fried Egg with Oyster. It's a big giantic super fried egg with lots of crispy corner and oyster. This is delicious!
The usual Steamed Prawns
Sweet and Sour Pork.
Braised Bean Curd
Wrapped Chicken with ginseng. I like this. Actually I like any kind of wrapped chicken :-)
Fried Crayfish in Teochew Style
Steamed Fish. It's actually very big. Look at your keyboard. The plate is about the size of your keyboard.
Fried Vegetables with minced garlic. 
Other things that on the list that we did not order, Pig's Liver Fried with spring onion, mussels fried with szechuan sauce and daily soup.
You know that getting a place to eat in Wheelock Place is mad during dinner time. However, there's this place called The Simple Life that's relatively empty.
Sis and I, tak boleh tahan, so hungry so we walked in here. If you see a long queue outside, it's for Fish & Co, and not for Simple Life. You can just walk past Fish & Co. and it's the shop that is inside.
My drink Bandung & Kiwi Seed. Interesting eh?
I had Rendang and Rice.
Sis had Bak Kut Teh. It comes also with rice and a super long 'you tiao'.
OK lah. You know somewhere to go on a weekend when every other place needs to queue!
Photos a bit dark, because the place is dark dark kind. haha...
If you have been following this blog, you must have realized we come here often. Colleagues and I will always end up here after treating the birthday person to a birthday lunch.
We sat down and realised, we have tasted every single dessert on the menu! (except the fruit fondue) These are the few that we ate this time, those that we have eaten, not showing it here anymore. (We usually order 2 or 3 mudpies! This time only 1)
This is Hazelnut Nougat Parfait. Absolutely delicious!
Chocolate Enchantment. Oooo. This is very very good!
Birthday girl's cappucino.
Someone's coffee.
My shake. Err I actually forgot what flavour it was now. oops..
There you go, this time only 5 of us. Boss also could not make it.
It was colleague's birthday, remember the cake post, this is what we ate for lunch. We went to Sushi Tei at Holland Village.
Colleagues and I, remember we love to eat. Visiting a place like this, you can guess what happens! Enjoy!
We have posted this restaurant's food photos a few times, this is the shop front, if you wonder how it looks. Sushi Tei @ Holland Village.
This time we sat at the conveyer belt.
We love pickle ginger, actually half of us like it, the other half don't.
First we grab the Edaname.
Jap Mini Octopus
Potato Salad
We ordered a plate of Ramen to share.
Salmon Skin Deep Fried. Love this!
Salmon Belly Sashimi. We were there at the right time. They were cutting around 9-10 huge salmon at that time.
Soft Shell Crab.
The following are assortment of sushi slices, rolls.
My fav! Unagi!
The post a bit long. Thanks for enjoying the celebration with us!
People do go to hospital not because they are sick, but because they are hungry! haha..
Colleagues and I, we do go to NUH to have food. There are 3 main places to have food in NUH. The NUH Staff Canteen, NUH Kopitiam Foodcourt at the Main Building, NUH Kopitiam Foodcourt at Kent Ridge Wing. Wait! There's another place, but the food is too healthy, and too expensive. Check yourself a room at NUH and you can eat their well balanced nutritional food! haha..
This is the Malay Stall selling Ayam Penyet at the Kent Ridge Wing Kopitiam.
3 of us ordered the same thing because a colleague said it was good. Yes, not bad, except for the accompanying soup which is a tad too salty.
Behind the pieces of chicken are 1 piece of fried tauhu and 1 piece of fried tempeh. The chilli is very very spicy. Even I tak boleh tahan!
By the way, penyet means flattened. Piak! Flat liao...
Today's a super hectic day at work, but we managed to squeeze a few minutes before the end of the day to celebrate our colleague's birthday.
During lunch time, we went to the 'medical facility' to have lunch. haha.. Lunch picture another post maybe. We bought a cake there.
The cake. Chocolate cake again. haha...
A slice of it. Light and fluffy.
It actually has raisins in between the layers!
It was ate together with Root Beer. haha...
Happy Birthday to our dear colleague!
Just last week, our friend visited from Melbourne. He was part of our previous makan kakis before he went over to work in Aust.
We got a sms that he is back, so our we met here. He said "oh man... why eat in a Western place, I want to eat all the local food!"
Anyway, majority rules, this is democratic country right? We have not been here, so we just eat here lah. Quite a nice place actually, especially with the company of old friends.
The above is a pic of the menu.
This is Southern Grilled Chicken, it has a 'must try' in the menu. $10.50
Cajun spiced grilled chicken on guacamole spread, mango chutney on wholemeal bread.
(psst, I think this looks absolutely delicious!!!)
This is Cajun Grilled Chicken, which also had a 'must try' in the menu. Friend sitting in front of me ordered it. $19.00
The ladies at the other end ordered this. Arien's Tagliatelle.
Tagliatelle with mushroom ragout in light cream sauce, smoked salmon and roe. $21.
Those on the left ordered this. Linguine Marinara.
Linguine with bay prawns, squid and mussels cooked in tomato sauce. $21.
Me? This is what I ordered. Baked Apple & Rhubarb Pie.
Pot of oven baked granny smith apples, rhubarb and raisins, all covered in an oven-baked puff pastry, served with vanilla ice cream. $11
This one I can tell you the taste. It's absolutely yummy. It has a (15 mins wait) on the menu, so it was truly worth the wait.
Found out they have a website, http://www.aerins.com.sg
We have brought to you all the 'must try' in the menu. haha...
Wah! Someone actually got the quiz yesterday right! Must be a regular there I suppose :-)
Come to this stall if you like very peppery, or super peppery style. If you like more herbal style like me, you might want to give this a miss. haha... But it was still quite nice.
We were sitting beside the kettle of hot boiling water, so we were feeling hot! Then near to us is the stall holder preparing our food.
We had individual portions. Each one had a bowl of pork ribs and the soup is being refilled as we finish it up.
I love kiam chai, and this is the kiam chai that comes with it.
For others, "you tiao" is a must. So the person who says is a must ordered it. (psstt I only like you tiao in rojak! :-p )
We are decocratic when we go out to eat. Another colleague said, must eat with Pig's Trotter, so we also ordered a bowl of this to share.
So, do you and your colleague go around and eat? Do you order food like we do? Democratic decision?
What will I be posting tomorrow? Guess guess guess. haha...
It's something colleague and I ate at this shop.
Don't know why, whenever I eat at a particular food court, I go for the same food! haha..
So, I was at Pargo Bugis yesterday, and my legs just brought me to this stall selling Chicken Soup.
Chicken Soup - $5.00
Rice - $0.50
Yes, Veron's correct. It's Peranakan Food.
Dulukala is on the top floor of Beauty World Centre, and we occasionally go there.
Many people do not like Ladies Fingers (or known in some places as Okra) because it is slimy slimy. Well, if you eat this here, it is dry and not at all slimy.
This is Chincalok Egg. Not everyone's cup of tea, but for those who likes Chincalok, this is yummy!
This is how it looks inside, after putting a piece of it on my plate of white rice.
This is Beef Rendang. It's good. Just nice and tender, and I love it!
So busy eating the above, and forgot to take the soup! My bowl of soup had only the meatball left. So I took two pictures, you use your imagination to combine them up! haha..
Hmmm this soup, it reminds me of instant noodles chicken flavour soup though. hahaha... Koka brand ones!
Bon Appetit!
Anyone can guess what kind of cuisine this shop sells?
It has one of the most unique names ya?
A hint hint, one of the dishes I ate here, can be found in this food blogger's site: Pablopabla's site.
Other than yesterday's Satay, we also ate Cockles (yet again!) and La-La.
A few days ago, you saw the raw cockles, not cooked yet. Today's it is boiled cockles that is served in one big plate, and have to peel it ourselves.
This is the La-La that we ate too. I am a bit siao. Everything also dip in this sauce. Including the cockles from above.
We doused all the cholesterol, heat, etc with a cup of Lime Juice each!
Yes, from the cups, you know we all in one big group! We bump into friends and combined groups! Taking up a long long table.
Just came back from Lao Pa Sat after having supper there with some friends.
There are so maany satay stalls there, and we sat at the one call "Best Satay". There are others like Power Satay etc...
Here's a picture of it.. Yum.... Sorry lah, only got street lamps, so photos are a bit dark. We ordered 60 sticks of satay.
And the sauce came in like 10 little containers..
I am now so satisfied :-)
Anyone wanna guess, what else we ate?
This place is at IMM. I would always remember the nickname my cousins gives to this place. She will say this is the super unluckly place to eat.
You know why? Every time we come here, when you order something, they will give you the same answer, sold out! or not available today. And it's always what my cousin wants to eat! So she called it unlucky place. haha....
Food so so only lah. This is the wantan noodles.
Beef Noodles
and Beef Terriyaki Rice which I had.
If you remember the soft boiled egg in the post two days ago, I cracked it open and poured it over my rice :-)
It has been a long long time since colleagues and I went to Adam Road Food Centre. We went there today, and aiyoyo! we just head straight to the same shop!
It's like program liao, we always go there to eat the same thing!
We always head to this shop.
I ordered the same old thingy!
Ayam Merah, Kobis (cabbage) and Sambal Goreng.
Just look at the huge plate! OK, it's a bit dearer, it's $4, but absolutely delicious.
It's quarter a chicken btw.
A close up for you. If you like Sambal Goreng, you know that not every place have enough tempeh.
Suddenly, feel like eating the River Valley Nasi Padang now! haha....
With so many places serving half boil eggs? What is your way of making sure it is just nice?
Old kopitiam sells it, the new hippy toast joints sells it, this photos are taken from still popular Hong Kong Cafes in Singapore.
Are you able to take a look at the egg above and tell if it is hard boiled or half boiled?
Experts out there, let us know! :-p
Ok, here are the noodles.
I had this, it's Minced Pork Noodles. $6.50
This is what my cousin had, Mushroom and Chicken Noodles. $6.50
My uncle had this, Malan Oxtail noodles. $9.50
Have a Blessed Easter!
We were here after a Good Friday service at Expo.
This is called Shanghai Soup Dumpling. $4.20
What's this yellow thingy? It's actually called: Pumpkin Prawn Ball. $4.20
The yellow colour is from the pumpkin.
Everyone that's here ordered this. It looks good, so we ordered it too!
It's called SQ Prawn Fried Rice. It's quite tasty, and it arrives very fast! $6.50
Aha.. you must be asking, where's the noodles? Coming right up!
Found this interesting eating place at Expo. Yeah, Expo is situated right at the ends of the earth! So ulu!
This place is like a fast food restaurant. They only sell a fix number of items and you order and pay for it at the counter. Then they food gets served to you, quite promptly too.
More picture of it the next few days.
No one guess it? Haha... If you did, I could have given you the vouchers that we got after paying for the meal.
It's at Coca at International Building.
This branch still uses this traditional 'steamboat' pots that uses gas. The ones that Taka uses electrical ones.
The ingredients arrived... This is the first batch. I was with 4 ladies, and they can eat! The male amongst them!
First thing we put in, we start as if we are vegetarians eh? So clear and light.
Then all these started to go in! Cockles....
Enoki... yum yum...
Fish, err.. din really like it. too muddy taste.
Oysters... it goes well with the cockles above....
Prawns. Guess what, I did not eat any! Got self control eh....
Realise this is the few of the cooking process photos. We were too easy eating and serving people to take photos!
This is the last photo. We ate everything except these 3 balls. We had all kinds, no, did not bother to take photos of them. :)
I realise something, I forgot to take photo of the coca chilli sauce!!! Aiya!
Quiz time again. Guess where dinner is at? It was eaten Monday nite with a group of friends.
Looking at the cockles pictures, or in Hokkien called "Harm", reminds me of a funny podcast. Mai Harm, Mai Harm. Can't wait for the pictures of the food? Cross over to this podcast and laugh.
Well, well, well, tigerfish, mamabok and eastcoastlife is so so brilliant!
They correctly guessed the place by the name of the dishes!
It's Soup Restaurant, this one at Scotts Walk (Galleria DFS)
'Tang' - the chinese character of Soup.
Here's what we ate:
Tien Chee Soup $6
Ginseng Roots Soup $5
Samsui Chicken Small $13.80
Ah Por Fan Shu Leaves $7
Beggar Ribs $12
Pan Fried Tofu $8
Eastcoastlife, yesterday's comment you said all of us seems to have eaten at the same place, if you read yesterday's papers, it was reported that they are going to get listed as well!
Hmm I think I am forming a new habit. Making people guess what I am eating!
This is the peanuts that is being served when you sit down on the table.
Well, if you can read Chinese, you can sort of guess where the place is :-)
I must warn you that I did not take photos of all the dishes :-)
As promised a few days ago, more Nasi Goreng. These are the higher end Nasi Goreng. So it is a bit costly at these places.
I wonder if I have more Nasi Goreng photos... Hmm...
