Mum preferred her noodles so I got the takeaway (S$5 + S$0.30 container) Minced Meat Noodle (肉脞面) from 85 Redhill Teochew Fishball Noodles at Sun Plaza. Hers is mee pok (面薄), characterized by its flat and yellow appearance and not the usual mee kia (幼面) or thin yellow noodles. The dry style noodles came with meat balls, fish dumpling, braised mushrooms, sliced and minced pork garnished with a whole lot of spring onions.
A few stalls away, I ordered my burgers from Ordinary Burgers. For the first one, I took up the Classic Beef Burger Meal (S$10.60) which adds French fries and a can of drink for S$3 extra. A freshly grilled smashed beef patty, made with 100% premium farm raised Australian beef and topped with Australian sauce. No idea what they meant by Australian sauce but it tasted like ketchup and mayonnaise with a dash of chilli powder in it.
The Spicy Chicken Burger (S$6) came with a crispy flour battered chicken, flash fried golden and marinated in a blend of hot sauce with a dash of purple mayo and fresh lettuce. While the patty is juicy and lightly spicy, the exterior looks over-fried. The purple mayonnaise seems more like a gimmick and tasted just like the plain white version.

tag game thing!
Rules: tag 20 people you want to get to know better.
Tagged by @luninosity five days ago and I'm still squeeing over it!
Relationship status: happily married to an Awesome Husband!
Favourite colour: Green! From a colour swatch I love a really rich emerald shade, but my actual favourite colour is the green of a bamboo forest when the wind is whistling through the leaves and the whole world is green and growing in the sunlight.
Song stuck in my head: Straight No Chaser's Movie Medley, I find myself humming it at the most random times.
youtube
Last song I listened to: Crabbuckit, sung by the Good Lovelies
youtube
Three favourite foods: teppanyaki, chai tow kueh, bak chor mee pok
Last thing I googled: the website to repot scams in my country 🤣
Dream trip: Japan again!
Anything I want right now: oh gosh, um, more writing time. Or to be assured that my retinas are going to be fine, that would be very nice too...
Tagging: 20 people is a lot but here goes!

大家好! Palestinians in Gaza who're able to get their hands on food distributed by aid agencies survive mainly on canned food and flat bread. So I opened a carton of sweet corn kernels for my simple breakfast on Wednesday, which was a public holiday, out of compassion for them. Whilst I was eating, I came across the following video which gives us some insight into why the delivery of humanitarian aid into Gaza is so arduous. The second highlights Israeli settlers trying to make a land grab in West Bank whilst the war in Gaza is going on. The third provides proof that weapons supplied by the US were used in the destruction of Khan Younis; schools, shops and residences have all been reduced to rubble.

Since Wednesday was a public holiday, Pa and I had lunch together. We went to a Hainanese cafe which, besides selling local coffee, tea and breakfast foods, also serves Hainanese pork chops with rice, Hainanese chicken curry, as well as laksa and another local favourite, mee siam. Mee siam is a bee hoon (rice vermicelli) dish with hardboiled egg, mini taupok (bean puff) cubes and bean sprouts in a tangy sweet broth. Mine is a somewhat zhnged (elevated) version with prawns, omelette strips, mini tau pok cubes, bean sprouts and a sprinkle of fried shallots. This bowl was also less sweet than the ones found at local food stalls and cafes; it was so delicious that I wiped the bowl clean!
I revisited the stall owned by the middle-aged couple from China. There's a perpetual line of customers waiting to place their orders so they are doing very well! I wasn't surprised since the dishes I've tried so far have been excellent value for money. I chose ji pa la mian (chicken cutlet handpulled noodles). It's usually served dry, but I asked if they would make it soupy and they obliged. $6.50 got me a large bowl of la mian, blanched crunchy bak choy and crispy chicken. Mmm yum, this was GOOD! The chicken was well marinated, the la mian QQ and slurpable and the light broth wasn't too salty. Definitely will return to try their other noodles!

What an eventful week this has been! It began with the ICC prosecutor seeking arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas parties believed to have committed crimes of humanity or war crimes. Then, Norway, Ireland and Spain recognised Palestine as a state. Now, the ICJ has ordered Israel to halt its offensive in Rafah. The dark cloud hanging over Gaza is starting to shimmer with more silver linings. Palestinians have been suffering for over 7 months now. Over 35,000 have tragically perished, over 77,000 wounded, much of their critical infrastructure including homes, hospitals and schools are destroyed and mass starvation is occurring in the war-torn strip. May this be the beginning of the end to this genocidal war.

This weekend I'm in for a treat. It's Saturday in this region; Grace is cooking huang jiu ji mian (yellow wine chicken noodles) for lunch. I'm so excited! This delicious dish isn't something one easily finds at dining establishments. The one that I knew served it has closed down and even then, their version isn't as fragrant. Grace and Douglas use plenty of old ginger, garlic and a more expensive brand of wine, so theirs is more delicious. This pretty much wraps up a great week. May there be more of them! 下次见!

Stall name: Ah Heng Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee
Address: Hong Lim hawker centre #02-59
Item: Curry Chicken Mee
Price; $6
Review: One of the famous stalls at Hong Lim hawker centre. In fact, they have another stall next to this one, separated by a walkway. Not sure if there is any difference between the two stalls, but there was a slight queue at this #02-59 stall and no queue at the other one when we visited.
I liked the curry soup, it was tasty and had the right thickness and viscosity. The chicken was nice and tender but there were only four pieces of meat. Lots of Tau Pok, maybe three slices of fish cake and one small potato. The portion of noodles is also very little.
Overall, I think it tastes good but it’s expensive. Not something I would eat often or queue up for.
Taste: 8/10
Value for money: 6/10
Overall: 7/10

#2649: Myojo Mee Pok Dry Instant Noodles - Singapore
Finished (click to enlarge). Added Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts, fishball, char siew pork, tau pok, fishcake and coriander. The noodles are wide and flat - very nice texture to them. The flavor was a kind of sweet and salty with just a lick of spiciness thrown in. Would love to head over to Singapore and try this in a hawker court! 4.25 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 8888107000060.

Breakfast from the coffeeshop further down the road. Mum had her Braised Duck Porridge (卤鸭粥) with extra skinless duck meat. The porridge is given a huge boost in flavours with a ladle or two of the fragrant braising sauce. Mum bought Bak Chor Mee (肉脞面) or minced meat noodles for sis. She opted for mee pok (面薄) which is flat yellow noodles.
As for me, mum got me Vegetarian Rice with four dishes. From the left, eggplant & long beans stir-fry, curry mock mutton, sweet & sour mock pork and vegetables omelette over white rice.

大家好! In order to recover more quickly from a bad bout of the flu, I treated myself to a highly nutritious (also very yummy) meal last weekend. I first ate tomato scrambled eggs during a trip to Guang Zhou years ago and never forgot how delicious it was; as Chinese expats flock to my country, this dish can now be found anytime I crave it. I ordered it, and big prawn wat dan hor fun (flat and broad rice noodles in silky egg gravy). Eggs were the answer to every ailment when our country was poor decades ago and I still rely on them for extra nourishment.

More noodles were on the cards when I took Pa out for lunch the next day. He ordered yow gai meen (soya sauce chicken dry noodles); I chose shrimp wonton tong meen (soup noodles) and har gow (prawn dumplings). The noodles were so perfectly QQ here that they won Pa's and my hearts; at once springy and satiny smooth for both dry and soup versions, they were totally slurp-worthy to the point where I could easily eat double what I was served. Also, I visited a stall that specialises in salt-baked chicken and paired it with mee pok (flat egg noodles) soup. The tender and juicy meat didn't need much chewing; it was so good!

The fragrance of prawn noodle soup lured me away from the fishball noodle stall. Sweet fresh prawns, crunchy beansprouts, QQ mee pok (yes there're other noodles but mee pok is by far my favourite) and a full-bodied broth are hard to beat. I also enjoyed mee siam, a savoury and tangy vermicelli breakfast dish with egg, tau pok (bean puff) and fish cake. Besides mee siam, the stall I visited sells lontong: rice cakes topped with vegetables, egg and fish cakes, doused in fragrant curry gravy and drizzled with sambal. I tried it for breakfast the next day and it was both rich and flavourful.

This week has been a noodle-heavy one and I couldn't be happier! At the same time, those of us who enjoy peace, nutritious meals and good sleep are incredibly blessed. Those ravaged by war, with electricity, water and food cut off, are denied those basic human rights that we take for granted. As I tuck into silken strands as well as delightful broths and gravies, people who're suffering immensely are on my mind. All I can do is pray that compassion and rationality will eventually prevail, and soon!
During times of peace, everyone enjoyed higher standards of living. Food, water, electricity and shelter were plentiful and costs were low. Now, it feels like we're back in the 1980s as far as real incomes are concerned; travel is a luxury that we'll be doing less of, or perhaps we won't travel as far. Also, why pay premium to visit countries that may be unfriendly to us? 下次见!
