Clementi Food Centre: Boon Kee Wanton Mee

Recently, my friend decided to go around with me to taste some of the stalls at Clementi Hawker Centre. In this new series of posts, I will explore some of the food I ate over at Clementi Hawker Centre. First on the list, Boon Kee Wanton Mee. There was a considerable queue and my friend said that there's always a long queue here. So I thought the wanton mee must be really good to attract those long queues everyday isn't it?

Well, Makan Boy was wrong again. We ordered two plates of wanton mee, one with chilli, the other none. I tried both of it and frankly I can't seem to taste what was so special about this particular wanton mee from this particular stall that can make those people queue just to buy it. Maybe it's just a case of monkey see monkey do. People queuing so it must be good, that sort of mentality .

Boon Kee wanton mee ($2.50)

Anyway, the wanton mee tasted average at best to me. I have tasted much better wanton mee so it might have influenced my judgment as well.

Verdict:
Nothing special. There's another pontian wanton mee stall at Clementi Food Centre (I didn't try it). I had tried the same outlet over at Jurong Point some time ago but it cannot be compared to the one I had over at Pontian, Malaysia: Pontian Heng Heng Wanton Mee. Now that's the real deal. Not those other pontian wanton mee stalls in Singapore.

Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak

After our meal over at Ippudo, Makan Boy and friends wanted to find some good supper to satisfy their growing hunger pangs. Where else? Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak! 

Recently, Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak came up as the dark horse to grab the crown for the best nasi lemak in this year's Singapore Hawker Masters. A few other popular nasi lemak stalls such as Changi Village's International Nasi Lemak and Adam Road's two nasi lemak stalls were also nominated. 

As expected, there was a queue there but not too bad. I have seen even longer queues.To lessen confusion and faster processing, we all ordered the same food combinations. $3 bucks for chicken wing, bagedil and egg. Ok, reasonably pricing.

Their fried chicken wing was really Power! I always must order that whenever I come here to eat. As for their rice, it's fragrant enough but nothing stellar. The chilli was addictive though. Very nice. My friend commented that even their egg yolk was runny. Hahahah! In case you missed it, that was in reference to both the eggs of Ramen Champion and Ippudo.

Runny egg!!

Verdict:
If you want supper and good supper then this is nasi lemak is the go-to option. According to its website, it have a few other outlets as well. I never try the other outlets before so I'm not too sure whether the consistency of the food is there.

IPPUDO SG @ Mandarin Gallery

Makan Boy headed down to Ippudo SG at Mandarin Gallery to get a taste of their famed hakata ramen and tonkotsu soup broth. Fortunately for us, one of my friends was able to get there early and queue for us (there was a pretty long queue). But unless all of the people are present they will not let you in. Well, the rest of us got there in time so no worries. 

Within a short while after we were seated, this extremely friendly waitress came to serve us. When we ordered our ramen she asked us how we want our ramen to be: soft, medium or hard. Apparently, it's common practice to choose the hardness of the ramen in hakata style ramen. The waitress even pointed out the strips of comics on the wall (I didn't even notice that) which explains the hakata style ramen. All of us opted for the medium ramen not wanting to take too much risk.

Our orders took much faster than expected to arrive since I thought there was a lot of people in the restaurant still waiting. Apparently not. I ordered the Shiromaru Tamago ($17) (basically, Shiromaru Motoaji ramen with the flavored egg). According to their website, Ippudo was the first to refer to their broth by the color, Shiro (white) and Aka (red). The color of their bowls also corresponds accordingly.

Shiromaru Tamago ($17)

My Shiromaru Tamago tasted refreshingly good perhaps after the not so good experience over at Ramen Champion (see past post).The ramen noodles were thin and smooth and the soup broth  was flavorfull as well. Excellent. I then devoured my slice of chashu. Not too bad. But nothing really amazing. I needed to try another slice to confirm. So there I was searching for my next slice of chashu. Wait. Where were the other slices of chashu?? Then it hit me. There was only one slice of chashu. My friendly waitress confirmed that there was only one slice of chashu for Shiromaru and two slices of pork belly for the Akamaru ramen. Only one slice of chashu... Oh well, but my flavored egg didn't fail to impress me simply because the egg yolk was runny. However it seems my other friends were not so lucky as their eggs were half runny and half overcooked. So I guess the standard of the flavored egg was not consistent.

There, runny egg yolk.

My friend got the Karaka Tamago ($19). It's ramen with a spicy miso and ground pork mixed with the ramen. I tried it and it's also quite good.  Almost the same as Shiromaru ramen except that it's spicy that's all. I'm not too sure why it's more expensive than Shiromaru. Maybe because of its special spicy miso?

Karaka Tamago ($19)

The other 3 of my friends ordered the Akamaru Tamago ($17. The broth was much more flavorful than Shiromaru and there was a stronger garlic taste. Really delicious too. And it had two slices of pork belly (I didn't try them). I'm not crying about it but I mean I love pork so I had expected they would put more slices in my ramen.

Akamaru Tamago ($17)

 

Serving size wise, the ramen would not leave you feeling full. If you want more ramen you can get them if your soup broth is not finished at an extra $2. We decided that's enough for us so we all left the restaurant with our stomachs still having room for more food. Oh yeah, I finished my whole soup broth and I felt really thirsty after we left. Probably the MSG.

Verdict:

Overall, I think the ramen here were quite good. Definitely a must try. The prices might be a little steep though. And serving size small. It's quality over quantity. 

P.S.

They have another outlet over at UE Square. It's called Ippudo Tao. Tao meaning drums performance. They fused the two ideas of ramen and drums together. You can watch drums perfomances on television screens while enjoying your ramen. I'm not too sure of the whole experience of Tao and ramen but I just might drop by someday to attain some enlightenment.

Golden Mile Food Centre : 75 Ah Balling Peanut Soup

When you come to Golden Mile Food Centre, you should never ever miss the 75 Ah Balling Peanut Soup. I'm sure many of you people have tried it before since they have a few other stalls islandwide.

This was the perfect dessert of my food tour over at Golden Mile Food Centre (see previous posts). By the time I ordered, there were only red bean and green tea rice balls left. I only prefer peanut and sesame (I had ate them a lot of times at different stalls). The rest were not really nice at least according to my taste buds. So I just got their peanut soup ($1.20). And trust me when I say their peanut soup itself was amazing even without the rice balls.

The peanuts were already boiled very soft and the soup was also very sweet. Ahhh. Just writing this post made me feel like having another bowl of peanut soup right now. I shall post again when I do visit their other stalls and order the rice balls.

Verdict:
Definitely recommended! They also have ginger soup. Although some people dislike that, I personally like it as well. So you might want to give it a try but their peanut soup is one of the best (hmmm, come to think about it, I think the best in Singapore).

Golden Mile Food Centre : Chung Cheng Chilli Mee

Next up on Makan Boy's food tour in Golden Mile Food Centre, Chung Cheng Chilli Mee. Have you heard of chilli mee? Neither have I. Well, chilli mee is actually just 'dry' prawn mee mixed with their specially made chilli paste. 

They sell chilli mee, pork ribs mee and laksa but since chilli mee is their specialty, I intended to try just that. There's prawns, fish cakes, half a hard boiled egg, some tau pork and even pork ribs. And it comes with a bowl of the prawn soup. 

The chilli itself is fragrant and spicy enough to set a fire in my mouth. Ok, I'm exaggerating. But funny enough, the star of this dish was not the chilli itself. It's the pork ribs. Boy the pork ribs were damn good. I think their pork ribs noodles would taste just as fantastic if not better. SImply because the ribs were tender and soft to chew on. Beautiful. 

Chilli Mee ($3)

Verdict:

Considering that I'm not much a chilli guy, I might be biased in my review of this. But I truly think that the pork ribs itself outshone the rest of everything in the chilli mee. So, overall I still think it's good but I would order their pork ribs noodles next time to find out just how good that it might be. For the chilli fans, I'm sure this chilli mee would be right for your taste. Go try it!

Golden Mile Food Centre : 91 Fried Kway Teow Mee

Just not too long ago, Makan Boy made a trip down to Golden Mile Food Centre since some of the best hawker stalls are located over there. Subsequent posts will be about some of the other hawker stalls I patronised in Golden Mile Centre. I will start off with 91 Fried Kway Teow Mee (or simply, Char Kway Teow).

No pork no lard!?

The stall front states prominently that there is no pork or lard added so this must be one of the healthiest Char Kway Teow in Singpore I reckon. But without the lard would it taste as flavorful? There are tons of advertisements on their stall front and even tv screens showing the replays of tv programs that feature their Char Kway Teow. Wow, I guess this char kway teow must be really that power to attract that much attention.

So many signs... One set of chopsticks... No empty plates...

Well, there wasn't much of a queue there so when I ordered my Char Kway Teow ($3) it came pretty quick. Oh it is self served by the way. They use disposable plates and utensils which I don't quite really like because I like to eat my food with real plates and utensils. Just my personal preference since I like that more substantial eating experience. And... they even have a sign saying that only a set of chopsticks and spoon per plate and no empty plates are given out. 

Sure enough, the Char Kway Teow wasn't oily at all and there's a heap of vegetables on top. Hmm, it's pretty ironic to pair char kway teow with healthy eating don't you think? There's Ikan Bilis as well which I don't think I have ever seen in Char Kway Teow.

Healthy eating?

I needn't have to worry about the lack of flavor because even though there's no lard the Char Kway Teow still tasted remarkably sweet. I should say it tasted unique because of its sweetness. Guess I wasn't disappointed at all.

Verdict:
This stall does triumph over other average Char Kway Teow stalls so yes I would still come back for more. You should try it for yourself the unique taste and the sweetness. Even though they didn't use lard, I think they did a pretty damn good job. I correct myself. Precisely because they didn't use lard they did a magnificent job of producing such good Char Kway Teow. Thumbs up!

Geylang Food Trail: Lion City Frog Porridge

Online reviews claimed that Lion City Frog Porridge is one of the best frog porridges, if not the best. Just how good is it?

They are famous for their Gong Bao Frog. You can order one, two or three frogs which costs $8, $16, $22 respectively. It's more expensive than that of Eminent Frog Porridge (I shall do a review on it soon) which is also round the corner. Eminent has a promo that gives you 3 frogs for the price of 2 meaning it's only 16 bucks.

Alright, so I ordered the $8 one since my stomach was already 75% (estimated figure) full by now after the big prawn noodles and hokkien mee (see previous posts for reviews). I ordered their smallest serving of porridge ($2) as well if not where's the porridge in frog porridge? There's was quite a bunch of people in that coffee house and almost everyone was eating their frog porridge. It is that popular... Needless to say I had to wait a while before...... my frog came first. 5 mins later, my porridge arrived. No comments.

At first taste, I could only taste the sweetness then the spiciness sets in. I'm not a big chilli fan but I could still fairly appreciate the full flavor of it. There's a lot of chilli padi so for those who do not absolutely tolerate spiciness do not try it please. Go for their ginger and spring onion frog. Maybe I should try that someday as well. Who knows it might even taste better than what they are famous for: Gong Bao Frog? The porridge is pretty normal for me. 

Ok, enough about the sauce and porridge. Let's talk about the meat of the frog itself. I know many people say that frog meat tastes like chicken meat. I really beg to differ. Frog meat is more tender and has more spring that gives your mouth that wonderful feeling to chew on. And do I enjoy the frog meat from Lion City? Absolutely. I think one frog is not enough for me. I regretted buying just one. I need at least 3. 

Verdict:

Flavorful Gong Bao Frog although a little bit too expensive. I tried the ginger and spring onion frog over at Eminent's and they were quite good. I'm not too sure about their gong bad frog though. If theirs is good as well, then they can give Lion City a run for their money since Eminent is cheaper. Overall, I would still recommend everyone to try it except for chilli haters.

P.S.
You can sit at the opposite coffee house and still order the frog porridge and they will still send it over. The famous beef kway teow and Qiu Ji fried hokkien mee are located over there at the opposite side. But I was already too full so I guess a sequel of Geylang Food Trail is guaranteed in the makings. Stay tuned!

Geylang Food Trail: Fried Hokkien Mee

Next stop of this Geylang Food trail: Fried Hokkien Mee over at the junction of Lor 15 near Sims Ave. The reason why Makan Boy wanted to try out this stall is because of some reviews that praised this stall. Not much reviews but still no harm trying. It is located over at Tai Say eating house.

The stall didn't have a name ( I asked the stall owner and he said no name). But oh well, if the food is good who cares right? I got the smallest serving of fried hokkien mee ($3). 

No name fried hokkien mee?

The hokkien mee was slightly more wet than some of the other stalls but not as wet as Thye Hong's. Taste definitely loses out as well to Thye Hong. I think their prawns were not as fresh too. Maybe I'm being too picky since fried hokkien mee is my favourite dish so I usually have very high expectations.

Verdict:
Nothing to rave about this stall in my honest opinion. It tastes pretty average.

Geylang Food Trail: People's Prawn Noodles 人人大虾面

Makan Boy is going to embark on a food trail over in Geylang. There are a few places that I would like to try out and I shall cover them in my blog in subsequent posts. I don't think I would be able to go to every place this very night so I shall just try my best if not there's always part two. Muahahahah!

First stop of this Geylang food trail, Makan Boy went to People's Prawn Noodle House located over at Lor 12. They have a few other outlets islandwide but it seems like this is their main branch. Reviews that i read online seem to rave about them quite a fair bit so of course Makan Boy had to try it to find out.

All the newspaper reviews

There wasn't a queue when I arrived which makes me a little bit suspicious. I could see that only a handful of customers are eating the noodles. Even the boss was sitting there shaking his leg before I ordered my noodles.They also serve other stuff such as pork ribs noodles. But I decided to stick to their main dish: Big Prawn Noodles ($5). I might try the pork ribs noodles if I do come here again which I suspect I mostly would.

It didn't take much time before my noodles arrived. First look and I could see that their soup base is not as dark as the others that I had tried. They had 6 half sliced prawns which is really not bad for 5 bucks. And the size of each of the prawns are just what the menu says: BIG Prawn Noodles. I mean these are even bigger than some of the big prawns that some outlets offer. I am impressed. But if it's all show and no go then quantity is useless.

But I wasn't disappointed at all. The soup was fantastic. Superbly sweet. So sweet that I actually finished all the soup. The prawns were also very fresh. The meat was big and JUICY. I like. Or maybe love. Whatever. As for the noodles, I don't think that it's anything special.

Look at that size!

Verdict:

Definitely recommended for all those who dig big prawn noodles. Overall it's one of the best big prawn noodles I ever tried.

Song Fa Bak Kut Teh

Since he was in the vincinity, Makan Boy decided to try out the rather famous Song Fa Bak Ku Teh. Its located just right opposite The Central Clarke Quay.There weren't many people just some people looking to fill up their stomachs with supper.The outlet is separated into two places (one air-con, one not). Naturally, I chose the air-conditioned one since it wasn't  exactly a cooling night.

Supposedly good... 

Looking at the menu, I think my jaw dropped just a little (underexaggerated). Their pork ribs soup costs $6.50 for the small one. This better taste good..... Since I felt like trying their braised chicken feet with beancurd skin ($3.50), I decided to take the risk and ordered that as well. 

Ta-Dah! Or not...

Well the food came quite fast and there you are. Three pieces of pork ribs and two pieces of chicken feet. The soup itself is pretty decent but the pork ribs are only average. As for the chicken feet, I really regretted ordering it. It's really not up my alley but i guess one man's meat is another man's poison so maybe some people like it, that's why it's still on their menu.

The air-conditioned side

Verdict:
Overall, there's nothing much to complain about their pork ribs soup as it can easily beat the average bak kut teh stall. EXCEPT for the price. I will only recommend this to people who can't find anything else to eat near that area (impossible). Definitely overated. Oh, they also sell bak kut teh spices at $20.00 for a box of 10 packets, IF you do feel like spending that amount of money since I'm pretty sure there are cheaper ones that may not be up to taste but decently close.

Prata Wala

Makan Boy and Makan Girl found a hidden treasure this very night when we were craving for supper. Prata Wala at Jurong Point!

Supper!

I had always thought that the food served over there was at best average and not to mention expensive since I had eaten naan over there before. But this time around we decided to try out some of their other stuff on their menu. I decided to try their plain prata ($1.30) since their name is quite straight-forward enough for me to wanna see how their prata fare. Surprise, surprise! Their prata is quite good. It's crispy and I ate it with sugar which I used to do a very long time ago. It's been a long time since I tasted good prata. Nice. Their teh iced ($2.00) is too expensive although it is decent. 

Good prata for me!

Teh Iced

Then still feeling hungry (hahahah), we ordered the mutton thosai ($6.50). I just wanted to try out their mutton to see how it taste like. Lo and behold, their mutton thosai was gigantic! I think there's nothing special about the thosai itself but the mutton is quite tasty. But mutton is not for everyone especially those who dislike the strong smell of it.

Mutton Thosai

Delicious Mutton

Verdict:
This place is great for those looking for supper over at the west side. There are other outlets all over the island and I think you should really give it a try. I will come back and try out their mutton bryani to see how it is.

Ramen Champion

I think it's no fresh news that Ramen Champion has arrived in Singapore and is located over at Iluma at Bugis. You get to choose from 6 different Ramen Chefs with their different ramen styles since they are a holding a competition to see who will be given the title of the Ulitmate Ramen Champion 2011. So it's no wonder that with all this hype built up my expectations of their ramen have also became sky high. 

So Makan Boy had to try their ramen to see why they are so called the best ramen chefs over at Japan. I had heard that there is a long queue but luckily when me and my friends got there during one of those weekends, there didn't seem to be a lot of people (ominous sign?). In fact, there seemed to be only people queuing up at one particular stall: Bario Ramen. In one of their newspaper cuttings on their stall which is that of The Strait Times, it is stated that The Guardian UK listed their Jiro-style ramen in the "50 best things to eat in the world" list. Just how amazing this Bario Ramen is that all the people down here had to desert the rest of the five stalls and only queue for this?

I ordered the Ajitama Ramen ($14) which is basically Bario Ramen with a boiled flavoured egg added. Apparently, Bario in japanese means "super guy" so the serving size of their regular bowl is rather huge, fittingly for a proud, manly japanese I guess. The mountain of beansprouts and cabbage on top of the ramen is proof of this. Fortunately, I myself have a big appetite so this wasn't a problem for me. But for the ladies and those with a smaller stomach, you might want to consider ordering the half ramen instead, which in itself might be already very filling for you. 

The noodles are thick and curly, which I do not like very well. I prefer those that are softer and smoother. And the egg is not soft-centered, meaning the yolk is not runny at all. Probably overcooked which is a HUGE disappointment for me. The soup base is flavourful, probably a tad too salty though. I saw the chef use lard (a lot) in the preparation of the soup base so it adds a lot of the porky taste to it but for me, I don't really dig such a taste but one of my friends loves it so it's just a matter of preference. The 3 pieces of chashu were heavenly though! Absolutely delicious, for lack of a better word, as they contain the right amount of fats that melt in your mouth! 

Bario: Ajitama Ramen 

My friend ordered the Very Rich! Paitan Tsukemen ($11) from the Tetsu stall. The noodles are served in a separate bowl from the soup broth. You are supposed to dip the noodles in the soup broth before consuming.   The soup broth (pork and chicken) is very thick and salty but when coupled with the noodles it is excellent for my taste buds. Besides I like this ramen better because it's more smooth and soft. The single slice of chashu is slightly pathetic and the taste loses out to that of Bario's. 

Very Rich! Paitan Tsukemen and the..... Juicy! Yucky Gyoza

Warning: DO NOT TRY THEIR GYOZA (6 bucks by the way). There's no filling except for lard hence their appropriate name: Juicy! Yaki (or Yucky) Gyoza. If you like the strong otherwise nauseating taste of pork fats, then this is for you truly. Just the thought of the taste now is enough to make me lose my appetite. They better stick to their specialty: Ramen. Enough said. Period.

I made this pic smaller to save your eyesight

Another friend had the Special Miso Ramen ($15) from Gantetsu. In all sense, this is a very average ramen to me. It tasted very similar to that of Ajisen Ramen's except that this is more expensive. That's why I think this is a very safe option to take if you want to eat the ramen over here at Ramen Champion because this would suit many's taste. The boiled egg is once again a disappointment needless to say due to its being overcooked. Overall, it's very average nothing special like its name said.

Special (or not) Miso Ramen

Verdict:
There are other stalls which I have not tried yet, of which I will soon. I would recommend the Very Rich! Paitan Tsukemen from Tetsu simply because I think that its soup broth is very flavorful and its ramen is the best among these 3 I tried (not the best ramen I had though, I had better ones like Noodle Ken). I don't think Bario's is suited for those with a dislike for the strong taste. As for Gantetsu's Special Miso Ramen, its for those not ambitious enough to try the other ramen. Well, truth be told, if you ask me to choose a champion I would say all these three cannot make it. So before I try the other 3 stalls, I am disappointed by the standards so far.

Char-Grill Bar

So the story goes on this fine night, me, Makan Boy, decided to indulge myself again in my cravings for beef. One outlet that never fails to satisfy me is this particular Char-Grill Bar located at a kopitiam over at Blk 491 Jurong West Ave 1. 

The concept of Char-Grill Bar is strikingly similar to that of Botak Jones and Astons. They all serve western food at reasonably prices. Of course, in terms of atmosphere, Astons would top this category since most (not all) of their outlets are air-conditioned restaurants. But Makan Boy does not give this any damn as long as the food is good enough overwrite this category.

The menu that they serve is pretty decent in general but the real gem of all is their Beef Tenderloin Steak. I like my beef steak served medium rare because I don't like my beef steak to be too hard and chewy. I wouldn't like my jaw muscles to be too developed from all that chewing on that rubber beef steak, would I? Anyway, I believe that even if the tenderloin steak is cooked medium it would still be tender enough. If somehow you are able to take the tender out of tenderloin and turn it into a chewy slab of rubber that no one wants to even touch, I would definitely give credits to you. You have all the makings of a good chef. 

All right, enough of the bullshit and quickly move on you say? Yes sir, right away. The queue is not exceptionally long and within a short while, my beloved tenderloin steak has arrived in a befittingly shaped hotplate.

One slice of the knife and it cuts through the beef smoothly, that's how it should be my friend. The meat is unlike that of other beef cuts which is more fatty. The important part of beef steaks is the marbled aka fats portions. They make the steaks taste juicy and succulent especially when the fats melt in your mouth. I can see all the health conscious people out there dropping dead at the thought of this but really, the best steaks are those with the highest marbling grading meaning they have the highest fat content.

Even though the tenderloin has minimal if any marbling, I dare say it's still able to give a tough fight against those prime beef cuts. So yes, I totally enjoy every bite and taste of my tenderloin steak. The soft and tender quality of the tenderloin steak appeal to my taste buds with no objection at all. The sauce with the onions are also not overly salty which complements the steak perfectly.  Oh, did I mention that their coleslaw is surprisingly good as well?

Verdict:

I would definitely recommend this outlet to all those meat-lovers out there. Yeah, you know who you are. There's definitely value for money since their prices are not over the mountain. Besides for those looking to slap some meat on their frame and those training for strength, red meat is an excellent source of protein, and creatine which is a potent strength booster. 

P.s. Not all Char-Grill Bar outlets sell tenderloin steaks. Some sell t-bone steaks instead but I'm sure the one at Jurong West sells tenderloin steaks.
