This was lunch with some BSF friends at Amoy Street Food Centre last Saturday.
Dino and Momo wanted to eat the Raw Fish Porridge at the Food Centre, so all of us decided to just sit in front of the stall itself.
They ordered a two person portion of the raw fish porridge. $6.
Fish porridge that has so much greens on top is quite unusual eh?
They had a bowl of the plain porridge each.
Hmm... How can plain porridge look delicious? By adding some chopped parsley and fried onions on top. haha..
I ate Curry Rice, but after finishing my rice, I saw Dino and Momo were still slowly enjoying their raw fish. Staring at their plate of fish made me hungry. (What a glutton! I hear some of you say)
Guess what? I ordered a single portion of the same raw fish. $3
I was tempted by it. (Excuse was the Curry Rice was not substantial)
I also had the plain porridge as well. Dino and Momo ate the raw fish and the porridge separately. For me, I mix the fish and veg with the lime. Gave it a good stir and then I stirred the mix into my hot porridge. That gentle heat on the porridge made the mix smell really good! hehe...
Our friend Gorilla was with us too. He was also eating Curry Rice. He was also hungry after his curry rice and when he saw me ordering the fish, he too was tempted.
He ordered a single portion too, but without porridge. He and MrMFA picked on the raw fish. Everyone was happy. ;-p
How do you eat your raw fish? You mix them like me? Or you eat them separately like Dino and Momo?

Ju Shin Jung Korean Charcoal BBQ @ YESS Centre (III)
Ok, the final installment of the Korean Food we had.
Here are the set meals we had. Sometimes we wonder how we managed to eat up everything! The sets comes with rice too. Sets costs around $10 I think.
Here's what we had:
Mrs JSFR had the Deep Fried Saba Fish. Looks good ya?
Dpuk one of the birthday boy had the Spicy Chicken Soup.
Three colleagues had this. The Dolsot Bibimbap. They always look good right? Another of the birthday boy, "wire" had this.
Yet another birthday boy, "Old Cat" had the Clear Beef Soup.
He was just raving about how tender the beef is. hehe..
I had something totally different. Cold Noodle with Soup.
Hmm, this has got to be an acquired taste. LOL. The noodles are extremely chewy! It looks like 'mee suah', but it has the texture of super super 'q' noodles. The soup's icy cold too! There's a slice of meat (hidden below the egg) and a slice of pear! How unique.
To end it all, we had heart shaped watermelon.
Plus the cloudy rice soup. What Dpuk always say, water from rinsed rice. (haha)
This ShikHye is sweeter here the ones we tasted elsewhere. The cold and sweet taste is really nice.
After the meal, it was the reveal. When we came, 'Wire' had tricked 'WP' that these are Korean mints. Pop it in your mouth after the meal. lol... (We managed to keep ourselves from laughing for so long!)
When it's ready to eat the mint, 'we are to pour water' over the mint.
And the mint expanded into a mini wet towel. LOL...
'WP' and 'Dpuk' did not use theirs, and brought it back to entertain (or tricked) their wives and children. LOL...
Happy Birthday to Old Cat, Dpuk and Wire.
For those asking how much it was, the meal's $180.45 all inclusive.
It's for 7 set meals, plus 3 a-la-carte dishes.

Ju Shin Jung Korean Charcoal BBQ @ YESS Centre (II)
Continuation from yesterday's post.
We were told by some friends that those side meals are not fill up your tummy. They are to be eaten as side dishes to complement the mains. But, just like most people in Singapore, we just eat them like mini mains. They are so tasty right? The more you eat them, the more you want it!
What else did we eat? We each ordered a set meal, but being a birthday celebration, some of us wanted more food. (We are like gluttons aren't we?) A few colleagues came out with a list of things to order, but we knew it's going to be too much food, so we compromised to cut it down to 3 items.
Here's what we shared: The Kimchi Pancake. Some of us liked it, some seemed to be disgusted by it. LOL I think it's quite unique though. ;-)
The Beef Tongue.
The server cooked it for us. When the beef tongue's cooking, our human tongues was wiping our lips. It was smelling very good.
It not only smell good, it tasted good. The word tongue might just put some of you off, but you should try it. It has a very nice texture. Dip it with the sauces provided and you will like it.
We also shared the Pork Belly.
(A colleague said you can take away the Ginseng Soup, but you can't take away the Pork Belly. LOL)
Here it is being grilled on the BBQ. The server will then cut it using the scissors into smaller pieces.
It shrinks! We were gasping when we saw the meat getting smaller. haha...
The fat's melting away, giving it a pleasing aroma.
A few minutes later, it is ready! You eat it by wrapping it with the salad (2 photo of yesterday's post, the photo with the long plate with lots of greens). Add it with the sauces and it taste absolutely yummilicious!.
Two sauces that each one has.
Enough calories for today's post. (LOL!)
Will post the set meals we had for the next post.
[Side distraction]
Those Korean drama lovers, are you all addicted to this new Korean drama on TV? It is called Grand Chef 食客. (link is to Starhub TV) Sis and I are getting addicted to it. Everytime there's a Korean Drama that's food related, we seemed to be yearning for Korean Food. LOL
It's showing very late at night on the weekends, so we are watching it via Video On Demand (VOD) on more sane hours. (For those who don't know, if you subscribe to certain channels, you get VOD free, the show on VV Channel is one of them.)
