e.BlackBoard II @ Clementi Ave 3

Continuation from yesterday's post. Other than the burger I ate, the others who ate the Lor Mee shared a bowl of tuscan fries.



Almondjelly's husband had the Grilled Chicken Chop $6.50



'Old Cat' decided he should have sausages. Think he has sausage cravings because he has been eating sausages! He had the e.BB Mixed Sausages $8.00 (chicken cheese and pork sausages)



Picky fella, he liked the cheese one but not the pork. The prices above are before the discount. Not sure when the discounts will be over though.

e.BlackBoard II @ Clementi Ave 3

It was so funny. A colleague Yahoo IM me and asked: "Wanna go to e-Blackboard?"

No, I was not think of food, but on the e-learning software with a similar name. I thought oh, are they going to introduce a new product to our workplace and are we to go evaluate it? I said "ok, where and when?"

She pasted this link from iEat then I realised that the e-Blackboard she was talking was not the software, but a food stall! *blushing*

Anyway, we went to try. This branch in Clementi Ave 3 is called e.BlackBoard II. The original stall is at the other part of the island in Bedok.



Wondering what to eat, (and since I have this 'burger mood' these few days,) I ordered the e.BB Beef Burger. $7.

This is it, the coleslaw, tuscan fries and a grilled beef patty in between a bun.



The patty is very thick. It's like a giant meatball that has been flattened.
You can bite bits of tendon in it, if you are a tendon person, you might like it. If you don't, order another different burger :-)



If you are interested, here's how it looks inside. Juicy.



It taste very very beefy. It's a beef burger after all. It's also quite filling because of the size of the patty and also the fries that goes with it.

But somehow, I was thinking of blee cheese. LOL. Have I got addicted to the smelly stuff?
This place is kind of like Botak Jones. There's other stuff to try, will post them tomorrow. :-)
It's next to the Lor Mee stall that we rediscovered.

We noted that there was a 15% discount for lunch too. So the burger today was $5.95

Sheng Yi Fa Lor Mee @ 431 Clementi Ave 3

Colleagues were lamenting that the Lor Mee at Clementi Block 328 have moved away. (the one that beside the famous Claypot Rice).

Lo and behold! A meal at Block 431 at Clementi Ave 3 spotted a familiar aunty's face. Hey, that's the lor mee lady right?? You could have seen the bright spark at dpuk's face! It is as if he found a long lost relative!

It was the consistency of the thick goeey gravy that draws many to eat this. My sis hates gooey stuff, so if you are like my sis, you will hate it. LOL

This is 'pirate's' bowl of lor mee. All the ingredients are hidden below. I find photographing lor mee the hardest! A bowl of dark gooey stuff!



So while he was going to take a bite, I quickly sneak a photo of it. Pirate says the not very nice. He has higher standards.



Dpuk's bowl with kuey teow. Both ordered the $2.50 version.



Almond jelly also had a bowl. Both Almond Jelly and Dpuk said since they moved here, it seems the ingredients in it has kind of returned to the pre-oil-induced-inflation standard. It is tastier and satisfying now.

I will come back and eat it another day. I was eating something else :-)
Posting this so that people who was wondering where the stall moved to, knows where it is now.

Thaksin Beef Noodle @ Clementi Avenue 3

Last Wednesday, our Care Group met at Clementi to have dinner again. It has been a long since we had this, and all of us went to the same stall to order it!

Everyone had the same thing, so here's mine.



The same bowl, zoomed in...

Now that I have zoomed in, it seems we get less mint leaves etc than previously if you compare to previous time I was here.



Here's another bowl that another friend had.



Still tasty, just a bit 'adjustment' that almost every stall in Singapore is doing now.

Comes in 4 sizes: Standard at $3.50, Value at $4, Supreme at $5 and Super at $6.
I had the supreme version. (first 2 photos)

Spine Meat Soup @ Kopitiam Clementi

On days that I feel like having soup with meat or salted vegetables that's not really salty, I go to the Bak Kut Teh stall at Clementi. (Not that it is superb, but it is nearby) It's one of the stalls at the Kopitiam branded food outlet. (Beside the previous Macdonald's that has been knocked down).

For years, I only order the Bak Kut Teh, but few months ago, I decided to try the Spine Meat Soup. I kinda like the salty soup with lean meat. Sis does not like it, preferring to eat the usual Bak Kut Teh.

(Side tracking, are you one who eats the same things from the same shop on the same days for years? I saw this one a friend's status on Facebook. "xx has eaten the same type of sandwiches every Thursday for the past 3 years. " I can totally connect with that!)

I like it because I like 'kiam chai' / salted vegetables. The taste of kiam chai (or sze chuan veg) always make me happy. Yes, I am peculiar. ;-p



I usually eat it with rice, plus a bowl of stewed kiam chai too. This kiam chai side dish is totally not salty haha.. But I like it. Especially the soft cloves of garlic that usually comes with it. I love to put the whole thing in my mouth and pull out the skin. Anyone does that too?



Talking about rice, the news on TV earlier said rice prices in supermarkets will go down next week. Do you think those hawkers who raised prices because their excuse was prices of rice has gone up, will lower them? I doubt so.

Lor Mee @ Clementi Block 328

Another Lor Mee place that colleagues love to go is the one at Block 328 Clementi. Where is Block 328? Just cross the road opposite the NTUC Fairprice junction. Climb up the steps and the Kopitiam is there. (If you drive, enter via Clementi Ave 2)

There are lor mee that you love it the first time you have it and this happens to be one of them. I think its consistency of the dark gravy and the ingredients.



The bee hoon mee combi. Haha.. Yes, you can guess this is not mine. Mine's kuey teow. LOL.



We notice something though, we haven eaten here umpteen times, but this is the first for 2008, and we can detect some differences. Prices are still the same, but it seems sometimes are missing. LOL. Enuff said, we did not confirm with the seller, but 4 who ate it think so.

But what to do? Inflation hits all time high!
Do you think things have gotten expensive nowdays?

Brother's Rojak @ Clementi

Everyone has a favourite rojak stall, well this is mine.

The Brother's Rojak Stall at the Coffee Shop right behind Fairprice, opposite OCBC Bank.



We ate this Tuesday after our lunch. We were disappointed with lunch. So this was the consolation.

Curry Fish Head @ Kopitiam beside Clementi West St 2 market

Errr, I don't know the name of the kopitiam, but we have eaten here a few times. hehe.. I don't know about you, but our family, we have nick names for different places to eat. Eg, Uncle Kopitiam and Aunty Kopitiam, Tua Long Gao (big drain) etc..

Well, this one is Orange colour kopitiam beside the Clementi West St 2 market.
Few nites ago, we went over to have dinner.

Ordered 3 things only. I like their Curry Fish Head very much. I can literally drink down all the artery choking curry!



This is Fan Su Yeh too. It's different from yesterday's post right?
I think its a diff species, and these are the very young shoots.



Need to eat more veg, so we ordered Kai Lan as well.



It sure was very satisfactory as the fish head is huge, it's around 2 men's palm size.
$32 for the 3 dishes above and 3 rice.
