Eating @ Blk 124 Alexandra Village

This was lunch a few days ago with colleagues. One colleague wanted to eat the "No-name long queue fish soup". We expected the long queue, but 3 of us decided we shall not queue. So, 'almond jelly' ordered Ipoh Horfun and was already eating, it was instant!

I decided not to queue as well, and ordered Hor Fun too, but the zhi-char style from KEK Seafood. Yup, number 1 on this photo.



It arrives and what's the what's next?



One thing about Zhi-Char horfun that I like to do is the stirring and mixing!
You got to separate all the hor-fun that's sticking together, making sure every strand of it is coated with sauce. yum yum..



'Old Cat' that was queuing for like 15 minutes (and still not reaching the mid point) saw what I ate and decided to abandon the queue and ordered something similar, he had the bee hoon version instead.



'Dpuk' and 'Wire', the two who patiently queue had their rewards.
The ever popular long queue fish soup. The fried fish version.



And this the sliced fish version.




All the above in the same 'coffee shop' at:

"Long Queue" Fish Soup, Pig's Organ Soup @ Alexandra Village

Today's lunch is at a stall that has 'no name'. So let me call it "Long Queue" till someone lets me know the name of this stall.

The stall has a perpetual long queue. It's at Block 124 Bukit Merah Lane 1, the same coffee shop that Keng Eng Kee, the famous Zhi Char stall is.

You should be able to recognise it by this green signboard that tells you what they sell. (or just look for a snaking long queue.)



Most people come here to try the Pig's Organ Soup or the Fish Soup.
We ordered both of it, because we wanted to know why??



This is the Pig's Organ Soup. Quite ordinary looking, but everyone bowl is cooked individually. The boss does not have multiple stoves, just one, with a ferocious orange flame that covers the whole tiny pot!



This is another colleague's bowl and the ingredients dug out so that you can see what's inside. :-)



3 other persons had the Fish Soup. This is mine. Lots of veg inside (the white cabbage), plus 2 fishballs and quite a bit of fish slices.



The taste? Those who tasted the Pig's Organ says it is ok, with one colleague saying maybe they are a bit heavy handed on the salt. But both finished every single drop of soup! LOL

For the fish soup, it was tasty, the fish does not taste fishy. The soup's white and murky, I wonder how long they boil it for. Hmm...

You can either have it with a bowl of white rice.



Or yam rice. I suggest you give a pass to the yam rice. I had it and it's just a few tiny pieces of yam and some 'darkened' rice.




Anyway, try for yourself and see if it fits your liking. Food's always subjective.
All of us paid $3.30 each for Fish Soup or Pig's Organ Soup we ordered with the rice.

ieat Makan Session at Joe's Kitchen @ Bukit Merah

Last nite, some 45 gluttons met in a HDB shoplot restaurant called Joe's Kitchen. It was a makan session organised by ieatishootipost.sg It was like a dégustation menu or sorts. Usually dégustation menus are not filling, where you slowly and carefully taste and appreciate various food.

This one was truly for makan kakis. Food was flowing out of an overworked kitchen. (that even caused a momentary power failure.) The chef's Joe from a Esarn and married Jamie from Singapore. Joe's previously from Parkway Thai.




The feasting started with this spicy peanut paste. My taste buds are not that good to pick out exact ingredients in it.



You eat it with rice crackers with this 'ayam brand tuna paste' look-alike and taste-alike thingy. It was yummy by the way.



Next was this golden nuggets of prawns.



If you are wondering how it looks inside. Here you go...



Next this pretty little container was brought out.



In it was glutinous rice, extra sticky!



The rice is to go with this Thai Papaya salad.



The rice is to go with this Thai BBQ Chicken.



Wait, the rice's to go with this Pork Neck. Thai Char Siu. ;-)



What else did we eat? Stay tuned tomorrow.
If you can't wait, you can visit EastCoastLife's blog to see her review. I have not seen her for about a year I think! You get to see the Chef's photo too on her blog.
