Yong Heng Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle 永兴炒福建虾面 (Ang Mo Kio)

Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodles needs no introduction among Singaporeans. In almost every food court, coffeeshops and hawker centres, there is likely to be a stall selling this popular dish.

Yong Heng Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle is located at the hawker centre in Ang Mo Kio Central.

Look at the testimonials from newspapers and magazine displayed at the bottom of the signboard.

The Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle comes in $3/$4/$6 for dine in. For take away in Opeh leave, it comes in $4/$5/$6.

There was a queue of around 5 people. Hence while I was waiting for my prawn noodles, I took pictures of the chef whipping up the dish.

I am surprised that the man in the kitchen is so young. Not an easy job. To whip up a good Hokkien Prawn Noodle, the control of the heat and timing is essential.

Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle $4

The Fried Hokkien Prawn Noodle has been cooked till the soup nearly dried up. The soup was flavourful, rich with pork and prawn flavours. In this dish besides the noodles, there was squids, pork belly slices and very fresh prawns. The ingredients and the noodles were cooked perfectly, and have absorded the flavour of the fragrant soup.

Overall, this dish of Fried Hokkien is quite decent, one of the better ones around.

Mei Heong Yuen Dessert 味香园甜品 (ION Orchard)

Mei Heong Yuen Dessert is a famous dessert stall in Chinatown and has opened a branch in ION Orchard. Not many will know that it is owned by the boss of Farmer Brand groundnuts 农夫牌花生.

Mei Heong Yuen Dessert is famous for their smooth peanut, walnut, almond and black sesame paste. They are also recently famous for their shaved ice (ice kachang).

Their outlet in ION Orchard has few seating capacity and it is likely that you need to wait a while before getting a seat. If you are in a group bigger than 5, I think you can forget about coming here. Go to their Chinatown outlet which has much bigger capacity.

Menu

Dried Beancurd with Ginko & Barley $3.00  

There is no queue when I ordered the Dried Beancurd with Ginko & Barley. This is because their bottleneck is really their sitting capacity. And our order got served to our table immediately, no waiting required, other than the waiting for a table.

The Dried Beancurd with Ginko & Barley was average. Thought that it could be better as it was diluted and with too few beancurd skins. Compared to Ji De Chi, thought that Ji De Chi one was better.

To conclude, I would not write off this place yet. Try it's peanut, walnut, almond and black sesame paste and shaved ice (ice kachang) that has garnered good reviews online. If you are coming in a big group, go to their main outlet in Chinatown. Of course, if you happen to see this post, let me know what is the must try!

The Fisherman's Fare (Chennai, India)

The Fisherman's Fare is a restaurant that is air-conditioned, located in Egmore. Throughout the years, The Fisherman's Fare has garnered a reputation in Chennai for it's multi-cuisines (Indian, Western, Oriental, Tandoor, Platters) and fresh seafood. The restaurant was full when we reached for lunch despite it being 230pm.

These are the only pictures of the menu I managed to take. If you noticed, there's our local cuisines too such as Singapore Chilli Crab, Singapore Chilli King Prawns, Singapore Chilli Fish, Singapore Chilli Squid and Singapore Chilli Lobster Meat. Somehow any dish with Chilli was associated with Chilli. I did not know we have built up such a reputation for our chilli..

I can't remember most of the dishes that was ordered on that day, but when I can I will name the dishes for readers' reference.

Singapore Chilli Crab

Crab in Garlic Butter Sauce

We ordered two crab dishes. The Singapore Chilli Crab and Crab in Garlic Butter Sauce. It is totally unlike our Singapore chilli or garlic butter crab. The crabs had obviously been put on a long diet. I thought that the crab dishes were not bad considering this is in India.

Naan

The Naans were quite oily.

Some kind of mint and herbals to help digestion and clean your breadth after the meal.

Although The Fisherman's Fare is an air-conditioned restaurant, do note that the room temperature is not as cool as restaurants in Singapore. It was quite warm. The layout of the restaurant is modest, simply decorated. Makes one feel at home and at ease to use their hands to eat. Food wise, is really not fantastic. But I suspect this might be one of the better restaurants in Chennai. Service wise was good. The waiters were attentive and served us whenever a new dish comes.
