Skinny Pizza (Plaza Singapura)

The English Breakfast Pizza $24
Skinny Pizza is a restaurant chain specialising in thin crust pizza. Owned by the Spa Espirt Group, it first started in 2008 and currently has a total of 5 outlets in Singapore.

There was a short queue when we visited its outlet at Plaza Singapura on a Friday evening.  

We ordered 3 sides since doing so would cost just $18. We ordered the Truffle Fries, Grilled Prawns with Cauliflower Couscous and 1/4 Metre Pork Sausage.
Truffle Fries $9 (a la carte price)
For the first side, we chose the Truffle Fries $9. As it name suggests, it was essentially fries with salt and truffle oil. It arrived piping hot and crisp. With a hint of truffle on every single piece of fries, this was so irresistible. This is something that I will always order when I am at Skinny Pizza. 
Grilled Prawns with Cauliflower Couscous $9 (a la carte price)
For the second side, we ordered the Grilled Prawns with Cauliflower Couscous $9. The cauliflower couscous; fine shredded cauliflower was good. Wish that they had given more of it. Other than that the rest of the items were a let down.
1/4 Metre Pork Sausage $8 (a la carte price)
As for the 3rd side, we chose the 1/4 Metre Pork Sausage $8. It was served on top of a bed of rocket salad. We all agreed that this was the worst side. The pork sausage tasted weird and was too salty. Luckily for me, I love rocket salad and ate the sausage along with it to mask the taste. 
Squid Ink Pizza $29
Squid Ink Pizza $29 is another dish that I always order whenever I am at Skinny Pizza. This is my favourite and is probably the best pizza at Skinny Pizza! A must order!

It consist of prawns, squids, tomato salsa, onion, rocket salad, basil and parsley on squid ink crust (hence the crust is black in colour!). Grilled to perfection, this pizza tasted way better than it looks! The thin, crispy pizza base; a specialty of Skinny Pizza was executed perfectly! With its fresh ingredients, this tasted so good that I stopped the efficient waiter who wanted to clear the pan away as I had yet to scrap off whatever ingredients still left on the pan.

The English Breakfast Pizza $24 was a pizza with bacon, sunny side egg, roasted tomato, mushroom, rocket salad, basil and parsley. The crust was again thin and crispy. As the waiter cuts the pizza into serving slices, watch the egg yolk ooze out. A word of caution would be to eat this as soon as possible. This is because the egg yolk would soft the crust and make it soggy. Otherwise, this pizza also tasted quite good. 

Overall, the pizzas at Skinny Pizza was very well executed. As for the sides, if I had a choice, I would order all 3 sides as Truffle Fries (not sure if they allowed).

Heng Gi Goose and Duck Rice 兴记鸡 鸭饭 (Tekka Centre)

Braised Duck Meat, Duck Feet and Gizzard with Rice $5 
Heng Gi Goose and Duck Rice 兴记鸡 鸭饭 located at Tekka Centre has been in business for more than 60 years. It is now operated by the original owner's disciples. The original owner of this stall no longer runs the business at this stall and started a stall called Ah Heng Duck Rice 同濟前阿興鴨飯 at Hong Lim Food Centre.
During lunch time you can expect a long queue at this stall. Service is fast though.
The stall sells braised duck (meat, wings, feet), organs, pork belly, pig ears, pig head meat, bean curd (tau kwa) and egg. You will notice that most of their customers are generally older in age partly because of the food offerings that are being sold. They no longer sell goose meat.
Braised Duck Meat, Duck Feet and Egg with Rice 
This plate of Braised Duck Meat, Duck Feet and Egg with Rice cost either $4.50 or $5 (my memory is failing me sigh..). The white rice is drizzled with the braising sauce (lor).

The braised duck meat, feet and egg are plated on top of the braised sauce.
Braised Duck Meat, Duck Feet and Gizzard with Rice $5 
On another occasion I ordered Braised Duck Meat, Duck Feet and Gizzard with Rice which cost $5.
Braised Duck Meat, Duck Feet and Gizzard with Rice $5 
Look at how meaty and thick the duck meat are. Definitely not layered! In addition, they are so generous with the serving of duck meat. The duck feet could have been braised longer so that they are softer. As for the braising sauce, although it was fragrant, it was a tad too salty. I felt very thirsty towards the end of the meal on both occasion. 

Nevertheless, this is stall worth checking out! The prices here are very reasonable.

ps: They normally take order and sell braised duck (whole) for Chinese New Year period. This year, they are no longer taking orders and selling the braised duck during this period.
