Sour Sally (Wisma Atria)

As mentioned in my first post on Sour Sally in my wordpress blog, Sour Sally  has arrived at the shores of our sunny island, Singapore! Sour Sally has branded itself as US Premium Non-Fat Frozen Yogurt. Sour Sally has come to Singapore and is located at Wisma Atria.

Made a second trip down as we bought Groupon vouchers that would allow us to purchase 1 Shaved Ice Escapade Froyo with Any Choice of Flavour. Usual price for this is $9.80. With the Voucher it is $4.90. We purchased 2 vouchers.

Shaved Ice Escapade (Green Tea Flavour) $9.30 $4.90
The Shaved Ice Escapade was huge! It is ideal for sharing with a group of friends. Even sharing among 2 person is a feat. As we could not get any seats, as we stand and eat, noticed that many people were staring at us as they were walking pass.

Ordered the green tea flavour. It comes with 3 toppings. It was not as sour as the Candy Mix Yoghurt that we had previously. We had a hard task of eating it as there was too much and guess what? ....

When were were halfway there, we came to the shaved ice! I had totally forgot about the shaved ice. Overall, this is a delicious dessert and helps to quench the thirst. And for $4.90, it was worth it. But if you want to order this, try to get more than  2 people to share or it will be an uphill task finishing it. If you are curious if the two of us finished it... well we did not could not finish it!

Tiong Shian Porridge 長城粥品 (New Bridge Road)

Tiong Shian Porridge has been around for a long time. It is located at a coffee shop which is just a stone throw away from Chinatown MRT Station, along New Bridge Road.
Tiong Shian Porridge

Tiong Shian Porridge specialises in serving porridge and also claypot frog leg porridge. 

Went on two different occasions. During the first occasion, we arrived during dinner time and this place was filled to the brim! We ordered and waited for close to half an hour before the food arrived.
Plain Porridge $0.60
The Plain Porridge is so cheap! Just $0.60 for such a big bowl of porridge! Cheap and good!
Raw Fish $3.70
I had already mixed up the Raw Fish with the sauce, hence this unsightly picture. This picture does not do this dish any justice. Looks quite appetising right? Well....it was awesome! The fish was very fresh with no fishy smell. Saw that most tables ordered this item too. For $3.70 this dish is very certainty worth it. A must try dish!
Dried Chilli Frog Leg $8.00
The Dried Chilli Frog Leg was delicious. Right amount of spiciness and the frog leg was well cooked. It was tender and fragrant having absorbed the sauce. Adding the sauce to the Plain Porridge made it even more aromatic! Shiokolicious! 
Dried Chilli Fish Head $8.50
I have never tried claypot Dried Chilli Fish Head before. I was quite surprised that the chilli fish head was so delicious. Well, maybe part of the reason was because I quite like fish head (to me anything with bones, tend to be nicer; more tender) . Moreover, the sauce was so aromatic, similar to the sauce from the Dried Chilli Frog Leg

On the second occasion, I also patronised the place for dinner. This time I went slightly earlier at 6pm. The place was similar packed! Hence, yet again, we waited half an hour.
Any guess what this is?

Well, it is not plain porridge. 
Century Egg Porridge $3.80
It is Century Egg Porridge! There seems to be a lack of flavour in the porridge. Porridge was quite smooth. Moreover, the century egg was of good quality.
Frog with Ginger Onion $8.00
This time we ordered the Frog with Ginger Onion. The sauce this time was sweet and salty, not spicy with a distinct ginger fragrant. Shiok, but I still prefer the Dried Chilli Frog Leg.
Plain Porridge $0.60
Mix the sauce from the Frog with Ginger Onion with the plain porridge. And throw in some of the frog legs will make this plain porridge so delicious that you wonder why it cost 60 cents.

Overall, Tiong Shian Porridge is certainty a place to come for its porridge, claypot frog leg and raw fish! If the place is packed, there are seats upstairs. Not a bad place except that it can get really warm. Be prepared to sweat it out. But for the food, it is well worth it! Can't really compare to the one at Geyland Lorong 9 as I have forgotten the taste (the last time I was there was 8 years ago). Many gems in Chinatown to explore. Lots of good food nearby. I will certainty be back if I have the time.

Gantetsu Ramen (Ramen Champion @ Iluma)

4th visit to Ramen Champion. This time, I tried Gantetsu from Sapporo. 2 more visits and I would have covered all the 6 Japanese Ramen restaurants. 

Weird that the name of the stall is called Gantetsu considering its meaning is stubbornness

Gantetsu Menu
Gantetsu Menu (Special Miso Ramen)
There was no queue. Yet, a 'landmine' was given. Waited for around 5 to 10 minutes before the landmine exploded. Good to know that they cook their ramen only upon receiving orders. 
Special Miso Ramen $15.00
The Special Miso Ramen comes with a ginger paste. It's broth made up of pork and miso was light and flavourful. The noodles was thin and firm. The sweet coin provided a distinct sweetness to the broth.  But the tamago was slightly overcook. Overall, quite an interesting ramen which was not overly salty. 

The six Ramen restaurants are:

1.IROHA from Toyama
2.BARIO from Tokyo
3.GANTETSU from Sapporo
4.TETSU from Tokyo
5.IKKOSHA from Hakata
6.TAI SHO KEN from Tokyo
