Taiwan Beer

this 'noon i went to the supermarket to scout for Wine but what caught my eyes was the much advertised Taiwan Beer! it wasn't on offer & costed S$5.65. Worth It! 
on the label it reads 'Distinctive Flavor Lager Beer since 1919 Gold Medal. Refreshing, Clean & Smooth Taste!' totally truth. & i add now Aromatic. 
trust me, before dinner was served at home, i finished the whole large bottle which actually meant to pair with prawns, fish & vegetables! Too Good To Stop!
if you like beer or to cool such hot local weather, give Taiwan Beer a chance!

Charcoal Burnt Meat

Look at the Char Siew (Roast Meat) & the Roast Pork! Its Colour & Shine prompted me to blog this $3.00 lunch packet from Blk 305 Ubi Ave 1. 
Juicy & Fatty Char Siew. Lean Roast Pork with smell of Charcoal. This's true Charcoal Burnt Meat, a term local understand well. The Roast Duck Sauce didn't override the aroma of the other.
Must Try!

Wo Peng - New Menu '13

What i like about Wo Peng Restaurant, 476 Macpherson Road, is every now & then they'll cook up new dishes. Here are some new creation i ate for dinner on 8/5/13.

this isn't the usual Jelly Fish! only the Best Part was used, that's the Top. QQ, Spicy & Yummy!

silver-foil will not dirty your hands. Tasty & Chewy Fried Chicken Wings.  

Chicken Soup with many types of Herbs. although the manager May told me the type of herbs, i just couldn't remember all. too many! 

Iceland Sea-Cucumber Grouper! What a rare deep sea fish! the bones were transparent, so soft & qq that i ate all! fresh flesh. here steamed with soya beans. another way is deep fried. 

they've a branch at hotel furama chinatown. both are equally good. Try it!

5-Star Bak Chor Mee

i'm not a mince-meat noodle fan but i can't wait to blog this dish from Blk 302 Ubi Ave 1 Coffee Shop! this's my 2nd time to eat it & brought camera. all the ingredients including the raw chilli piece & soup tasted great, surely not msg. $3.00 add 50cts you'll get mushroom slice. old days Bak Chor Mee taste found! expect bouncing, qq & fresh fishball. the stall run by a middle-age couple is opened daily for lunch & dinner. they also sell other noodle mixed eg fishball mee. you haven't tasted the best till you try this stall!  6/5/13.

Shifted jun.

Rojak

Rojak commonly known as Chinese Fruits & Vegatables Salad. Over the years, this stall at Blk 350 Ubi Ave 1 certainly has improved greatly.
Once I opened the plastic carrier, not the container, I smelled Rojak! The thick Black Prawn Sauce blended well with the Chilli Sauce. All the stuff eg Turnip, Cucumber, Towkay, Yew-Thio, & Smashed Nuts mixed very well. Chewy.
It costed only $2.50. Worth It! 

Green Tea

my girl brought this Harada Yabukua Blend Japanese Green Tea Bags home. see her enjoy it every now & then. today i chose to try it out myself using a fine china teacup. Wow! Pure, Aromatic, a very Zen Feeling! such sentiment remains on 2nd fill! 

Yu Sheng 2013

Yu Sheng or Raw Fish Salad is a delicacy during Lunar New Year. the Higher you Toss Up the Dish, the Better is your Luck! this belief started in the 60s by the famous 4 Heavenly Chefs & Restaurant Owners in S'pore. nowadays Salmon has replaced Wolf Herring (Ikan Parang).

this Snake Year 2013, i've to agree with good friend Stanley that this dish from all the outlets we tried seemed Plain! somehow it lacked the Wow! recall we ate this at Wo Peng restaurant on lunar 4th day, he remarked that he already lost count how many times he'd eaten Yu Sheng just for this year!

here you see is from a Neighbourhood Coffee Shop. Takeaway, for less than $20, there're more than 10 types of ingredients exclude the Salmon. in addition there're 2 Good Luck Oranges, an empty Ang Pow with 4D nos written on it, 10 sets of bamboo chopsticks & plastic spoons. not all takeaway provides such.

taste is acceptable. it's not bad. well through restaurants you'll expect to pay at least double! 

today is lunar 1st 15th day also known as Chap Goh Meh. officially it's the last day to eat Yu Sheng. but some outlets in Chinatown sell a simpler version usually with Wolf Herring throughout the year.

Happy Chap Goh Meh 2013.
