Minced Meat Noodle (Sim Lim Square Food Court)

Most people visit Sim Lim Square to shop for electronic goods and do not pay much attention to the food court located at the basement. I have heard that there is a famous Minced Meat Noodle (Bak Chor Mee) store located at the food court. Hence, decided make a trip down to this place during lunch on a weekday.
There was a short queue during lunch time; around 15 minutes wait.

Glad to know that there's no charge for extra mee!

I have no idea why I had a sudden craving for Abalone Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle. I ordered Mee Pok (chinese yellow noodle - flat) dry with chilli. As you collect your order, you can actually help yourself to the free flow of pork lard. First time I have seen such a practice. It is place along with the sauces and chilli.
Abalone Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle $5.00

Look at the portions of ingredients (mushrooms, fishball, meatball, minced meat, bean sprouts, fish cake, dumpling, lettuce, scallion) given in the Abalone Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle. The portions given are so generous, which is a rarity in food court today. Of course, only1 piece of abalone was given. A piece of dried crispy fish was added inside. The noodle was well cooked and the sauce at the bottom of the bowl contained a mixture of chilli, black vinegar and soya sauce. When tossed properly, the sauce complement the noodles nicely.

However, Hill Street Tai Hwa's version is certainly better. (Hill Street Tai Hwa's sauce was more aromatic) Still this is a very decent bowl of Minced Meat Noodle compared to those at other food courts if you are unable to visit Hill Street Tai Hwa.

Salted Caramel (Upper Thomson Road)

Salted Caramel is situated along the row of shop houses where The Roti Prata House is. Salted Caramel specialising in producing ice cream using natural ingredients with no preservative or artificial sweeteners. Competition is quite keen now with so many other ice cream parlours such as Island Creamery, ICE CUBE, Sugalight Factory, Scoopz, Seventh Heaven Tom's Palette and Udders.


Flavours available displayed on the shop front.

As you can see from the Menu, besides ice cream, they have brownie and waffles too!
 Clockwise from Top Left: Earl Grey, Cookies & Cream, Horlicks Tim Tam (Triple Scoop $7)
Ironically, the Salted Caramel ice cream was so-so. My favourite is Earl Grey ice cream, intense fragrant of earl grey. It was not over sweet and was creamy yet refreshing. If you are a Earl Grey tea lover, this is strongly recommended. The Cookies and Cream ice cream was quite good too with generous chunks of cookies in it. 

The Horlicks Tim Tam had chunks of Tim Tam in it. One the first mouthful, the flavours of Horlicks and Tim Tam complemented each other quite well. However, after a few more mouthfuls, I felt that it was way too sweet.

During my visit, I noticed that the traffic flow is quite high. There was almost a constant flow of customers entering the shop. If you were to ask my honest opinion, well it is just another ice cream parlour. I will only come back here for it's Earl Grey ice cream if I happen to pass by.
