Chicken Feet @ Kopitiam NUH

2 days ago (Thursday), we visited a colleague who has just given birth at NUH. After the visit, we though that we would visit the NUH Kopitam at Kent Ridge wing.

Ooo.. the chicken feet that had stopped selling sometime ago is back! (It might be back earlier, but we have not been visiting the hospital. who does? haha..)

Oh man, you should see the 'glee' on 2 of my colleague's faces. They only had 3 plates to sell us. So, we took it all. Today's feet is so big!



Fat & juicy too. :-p



The first 3 plates we got.



Oh, 'wire' was on overdrive. He wanted more and was willing to wait for 20 mins for the next batch to be ready. We waited, (while we had other stuff). Here's the 2nd batch. 3 more plates of chicken feet.



Are the chicken on steroids or what? They seem to be big!



What is left behind... LOL.
Some of you might be totally put off right?




Well, we think it might be the cheapest chicken feet you can find. $2 usually. But with the "yellow hospital kopitiam card", you get 20% off, and each plate costs only $1.60.

Any chicken feet eaters out there?

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.

Kopitiam Foodcourt @ National University Hospital

People think we are nuts when we say we want to have hospital food. Not the ones patients eat, but unhealthy but tasty ones meant for the healthy people. haha..

Colleagues and I call the Kopitiam Foodcourt at the NUH Kent Ridge Wing as the Chicken Feet place. Our nickname for places we want to go. We call it chicken feet because we will always order chicken feet here! No need for the photos, posted too many times of it.

4 of us ate from the same stall today. The Malay food stall. 3 of us had Nasi Briyani and 1 had Ayam Penyet (yes, again!).

It's spicy but it's not too bad. But just don't drink the soup that comes with it. You know how hospital food does not taste salty, well I think they donated their salt here to make soup!



The Ayam Penyet that has become a staple food.



$4.50 each for dish. But flash your Kopitiam NUH Staff card and get 20% off.
