Stall No 1 @ NUH Staff Canteen

This was our lunch few days ago. Colleagues and I went to the NUH Staff Canteen to eat. Colleagues heard that the pale looking noodles from Stall No 1 (ok we can't remember the name haha) seems to be quite popular. So they wanted to try it.

(Pardon the ugly spoon arrangement, but that's how it comes LOL)
Well, the verdict, they said its ok lah.



I don't fancy yellow noodles, so I had the Xin Zhou He Fen. It's nice, but oily, really oily. Paradox? Nice but oily?



Somehow, someone will order the dumpling to share. Well, one thing for sure, everyone says this stall's dumplings are nice.



I am also not a dumpling person. I don't like to eat the skin. Breaking it up so that you can see what's inside. Think I have mentioned it before, you can order the uncooked dumpling home if you are having a dumpling party ;-)

Nasi Padang @ NUH Staff Canteen

For lunch today, colleagues and I ate at the NUH Staff Canteen, we heard that the Malay Stall has changed operators. So with great kepo-sity, we went there to try it out.

The previous stall operators were generous but their portions, but their food tends to be a bit sweetish side.

This new stall operator is still generous. Food is not as sweet, so it is better. We also like their selection of 'lauk'. It looks like there is 50% more variety than the previous operator. The signs are still the same, except that they 'tampal' a new menu and price list over the old one. haha..




Three of us ate at this stall, but only took 2 photos because we were already busy eating after that. LOL

Ms Preggie had this. Guess how much? 3 veg, 1 meat for $3.



I had this. Looks a bit messy but that's Nasi Padang. I had bitter gourd, a slice of asam fish and sambal goreng. Also $3. Think fish is more expensive. But still quite a good price.

The kuah for the asam fish is very very pedas! Truly sedap dan enak. The sambal goreng has generous servings of tempeh too and not so oily.



We also tapow some pisang goreng from this stall. 4 pieces for $1. It was quite nice too. Not a lot of flour but just covering the pisang that is about ripe.

Boleh tahan lah. We will come back for more in the future.

Since it is Malay food and there's banana fritters, let me correct some of you. I remember my Malay language teacher in primary school corrected us and I still remember it. Banana Fritters are called "Pisang Goreng". You eat 'pisang goreng' and not 'goreng pisang'. Goreng Pisang is the act of frying the banana.

Meat Dumlings @ Staff Canteen, NUH

This is one of my colleague's favourite. He seems to always order it when we are at eating at the NUH Staff Canteen.









Do you like this version or you prefer the pan fried crispy version?

Indian Delight @ NUH Staff Canteen

I wonder how many of you correctly guessed the type of food I am having today. LOL.
Yes, it's Friday and Friday somehow becomes Indian Food Day.

We just decided to walk over to the NUH Staff Canteen today. Upon reaching, somehow 3 persons legs just brought them to the Indian Stall. I think the T has dropped down.



It's one of those stalls that serves food in metal plates that have compartments. No communal food today, we just ordered individual portions.

This is lamb from colleague's plate. Yummy? It's a bit tough, but they say it is good. 2 of them ordered lamb. I did not.



One of them also had this tauhu. So sedap looking right?



For me, I had chicken. I think it is quite nice. The food taster colleague took a tiny bit and said: "can" "pass". LOL



I had bean sprouts to go.



And I love this. Cucumber.



All of us had Nasi Briyani. For mine, it was covered with dahl curry. :-P



This Indian Stall in NUH Staff Canteen has been consistently quite good. It's average around $3.50 for the combi above.

Actually looking forward to Monday's lunch! LOL.
A colleague is planning a lunch. If we get to go, the pictures will be here. haha..
