Mee Suah at Old Airport Road

One of my colleagues drives to work so we snuck out for lunch one day at the finally reopened Old Airport Road Hawker Centre in Geylang. I had Mee Suah at a stall that also made chee cheong fan in front of you (with steamer and all that stuff). Bloody fantastic Mee Suah (or is it because I haven't had one for ages??) I need to go back and eat it again soon!

The noodle shop in Sham Shui Po

This shop is very famous for it's beef noodles which I found was only ordinary. But the queues don't lie - they have expanded to three separate shops on the same street and each one has a queue of at least eight to ten people waiting. I should have taken photos of the queues!

Wai Kee Noodle Cafe


My rather bland noodles since I don't like liver which seem a favourite. Mine was beef slices with luncheon meat. I was really hoping for the noodles to be delicious but like I said, it was pretty ordinary.

What I realllllly liked though was a suprise. My friend wanted to try their kaya French toast thing and it was to die for. Pour lots of honey to really enjoy it!

From top (left to right): Milk mixed with cream soda (weird drink that my friend ordered), choy sum with garlic, fish breast meat (well that part of the fish anyway) in claypot, minced meat and pickled vegetable rice claypot, panfried dried scallop meat pattie

Followed by dessert in Kung Wo Tong, also in Causeway Bay, near Times Square - Guilingo and five flower tea (literal translation)

Mongkok, Hong Kong

Curry fish balls - my favourite place in Hong Kong on the corner of Bute Street and Nullah Road in Mongkok



Taiwanese food near the fish ball place. Nothing special but I do like the simple things in life sometimes. :-)

Bing Sheng

Dinner time in Guangzhou - this restaurant is famous for it's roast dishes and is named after it's founder. Our dinner bill after seven fantastic dishes was RMB230 (USD33 or SGD51). Photos are from two nights of eating there. :-) The highlight is the crispy fried fatty char siew (fourth picture) and the white noodles (like chee cheong fan) dipped in a soya sauce based mixture and chilli. Delish!
