Photo0205 This small Indo restaurant is located in Lucky Plaza, #03-43. You can find many Indonesian family enjoying their dinner with fellow countrymen.

Their grilled chicken with rice is quite nice with their sweet sauce. Their chili is too spicy.

The place is relatively small but they have 2 shops, the other area for e over-flowing crowds. Business is quite good during weekends.

Comment: Their serving had shrunk over the months. I hope they can maintain their standard and not let it deteriorate.

Photo0181Seasoned with sesame oil, chili, coriander leaves, spring onion, lettuces, sliced ginger, favored with light soya sauce and a pinch of white pepper. This is the best raw fish salad I ever tasted. The fish is thinly sliced and fresh with sweetness.

Located at the hawker center beside OG, Peoples Park at Chinatown.

Photo0182 Try the chicken slice kway teow. The chili is too oily, just order the plain one and add in green chilies.

Rate: **** out of 5 Stars for the raw fish slices, *** out of 5 Stars for the Chicken Slice Kway Teow

Comment: It’s delicious! Indulge…

Photo0161Photo0160 I remembered when I was working in Diners Club, both Erica & I would always crave for the duck porridge along Beach Road. There is actually a very famous duck rice stall along that street but this humbly duck porridge stall which we frequent is in the same coffeeshop as the famous fish noodles.

It is just $2.50 for a plate of duck and smooth warm toukwa, and a big bowl of thick smooth porridge. The duck meats are not the ones full of bones and fats.

They are nicely sliced with a little bones which help to enhance the biting sensation. The skin well marinated with the gravy. The stall owner is always helpful to give you extra gravy for your porridge upon request. If you want to try its porridge, do come before 1pm, as it is sold out early part of lunch hour.

Beside porridge, you can opt for white rice or ‘black rice’( i think is yam rice). Seats are not easily available due to the crowd from the fish noodles.

Location: Beach Road, directly opposite Concourse

Comment: The coffeeshop attendees usually will ask you funny question, ie. if you want drink ample times, the same cup of coffee going to you again & again when you had told him it’s not your order. You may find him relatively irritating, but just ignore him. The place is very hot, especially during lunch hours.

Help yourself to the cutlery and sauces.

The smelly fermented shrimp sauce with a sourish taste and lingering stink mix with the chili sauce  complemented well with the beef slices and meatballs.

The main character is here,; Beef Kway Teow Soup. I personally prefer the soup one as it is not so cold as the dry ones. The starch of the gravy (for the dry version) is not too starchy but relatively too heavily favored.

Hock Lam St Beef Kway Teow - Prize winning beef kway teow, located at Purvis Street which is a street away from Seah Street (Beside Raffles Hotel). The famous kway teow had been featured in many magazines & newspaper articles.

Rate: ** out of 5 stars

Comment: The beef is not tender enough. Waiting time is short, so no worries about the long waiting time.
