Bittergourd Soup @ NUS Science Canteen

Every now and then, after all the rick and expensive food, it's time for some cheap, lower calorie food. haha..

When colleagues and I go to the NUS Science Canteen, the steam soup stall seems to be healthiest amongst all the stall. So it's bittergourd and chicken soup and rice. Less than $3 with the rice included.

Not the nicest of all, but sometimes you just got to eat less and the a little healthier option.
Before we balloon into huge gorillas.

The 'someone' is complaining that I am putting on weight. haha..

Grill Out! @ Sunset Way

This was dinner with our Care Group. We have a 'makan night' every 3 or 4 weeks. This was eaten around two weeks ago. Our CG leader picked the venue and it was Sunset Way. The sms was to meet at Sunset Way and  we will walk and choose a restaurant there.

We 'walked' and somehow decided we shall try "Grill Out". Why? it's because someone saw the meats and got tempted. (It's not me!)

This is our complimentary soup. It was mushroom soup. Someone was cheeky and asked if it was 'campbell'? We were told they made it themselves. They added that complimentary does mean they just can soups. haha.. It was quite ok. It was excellent with the soft bread served.

Soup of the Day - Mushroom Soup

It was too difficult and dark to take photos at night and sitting in semi darkness. So I only took the one that sis and I shared. (these photos have been 'added lots of light' by software. haha)

Sis and I had the "set for 2" deals. You get 3 different kind of meats with portions just nice for 2. 1 of it is Rib Eye, I forgot the 2nd meat. Sis also can't remember it now.

Set Special - Short Ribs, Rib Eye, Piccata

The other side of the dish, the 3rd type of meat was the short ribs. Sis and I liked it. We had our meat prepared medium and it was nice.

We ordered a Pork Backribs to share with the rest too.
It was good, but it would be better with a little more sauce. I like it saucey. hehe..

The rest of our CG members had oysters, caesar ' kuro ham salad (which was very nice), another couple had the wagyu/pork leg and sirloin set for 2, another the Angus Tenderloin etc. The list goes on...

We were 'pigging out' at Grill Out. haha..

Old Pontian Cafe @ Bukit Panjang Plaza

I guess most people have tasted the Pontian Wanton Noodles for years. I only tasted it last weekend! It was at Bukit Panjang and it's at a tiny cafe at Bukit Panjang Plaza.

I had the spicy version of it. The noodles are skinny! Not too bad I would say.
But with the skinny noodles come tiny fried wantans. LOL

I think it's $3.80 for the Large size.

Wantons Noodles

The wantans with the soup is bigger variety. ;-)

Even if you don't like wantan noodles, you should also visit this tiny outlet.

Their Pontian Popiah is nice! Huge, fat and juicy popiah. :-)
I remember they used to be a bit bigger half a year ago when I ate it too.
I think it was $3.20.
Update: I checked the price, it's $2.50.
