Stall no. 43: (乌芭叶) Wu-Ba-Ye Hokkien Mee Stall - $3.00

Rating: 6.5 /10

This time round, the 5 of us ventured to West Coast Drive Ayer Rajah Food Centre to sample out the nice food there. We randomly ordered "Dumpling Noodle Dry", "Chicken Chop Western Food", "Fried Hokkien Mee", "Fried Kway Teow", "Fried Oyster" and "Fried Carrot Cake (Black)" to find out how each one fared.

Personally, I haven't got the chance to try the Dry Dumpling Noodle so no comments for that. As for the Chicken Chop, i managed to sample a bit and nah... i personally would give 5/10 for rating... the sauce was tasteless though the meat were quite tender and soft when chew. The aroma smell of Hokkien Mee with the chilli smell nice, but on the first taste... hmmm... so so lah. Next is the Fried Kway Teow, it good except that the kway teow haven't absorb the essence of the stock thus the taste wouldn't linger in your mouth after you have eaten it. The black fried carrot cake on the other hand was fantastic as every piece was quite uniform and the taste was just nice. Eventually, the fried oyster was different from what i had in other place as the 'egg' was fried till crispy although when i finished till the end, i felt it's kinda of greasy.... one of my colleague felt uncomfortable and nauseous too.

Overall, this place is not stuffy and the stall are well marked by very prominent stall sign to indicate the stall no. It is definitely worth coming to explore for cheap and good food during lunch time though some of the stall are not open until later in the evening.

Location: West Coast Drive - Ayer Rajah Food Centre (Opp Tanglin Secondary School and beside Blk 504)

Carpark: Damn pack during lunch hours; heavy traffic

Cleanliness: OK (Surrounding quite well-kept)

Blk 496 Jurong West - Claypot Curry Fish Head

Claypot Curry Fish Head ($18)

小白菜 “Xiao Bai Cai" ($4)

芙蓉蛋 "Fu-Rong Dan" ($4)

" JURONG WEST CLAYPOT CURRY FISH HEAD"

This is one of my favourite fish head curry stalls! Had a sudden craving for it tday so i recommended my colleagues to go try it out. We drove westwards to Jurong West St 41, Blk 496 to try this mouth-watering claypot curry fish head. As usual, we were damn lucky to get a empty lot when looking for car parking lots especially during lunch hours.

Once there, the auntie began to ask whther we would like to order the biggest size which cost $26, however we decided to order a $18 curry fish head instead, accompanied with one dish of "Xiao Bai Cai" and one dish of "Fu-Rong Dan" to go with white rice. True enough, the $18 fish head proved more than enough for the 4 of us. Waiting time was about less than 5 mins as the lunch crowd is scarce. Well, the fish head taste more towards sour than spicy and the coconut strongly enhanced the flavour of the curry.. the taste of the gravy is especially highlighted when u eat it with the sliced pineapple. the sweetness of pineapple and the sourness of the gravy tingling in your mouth...hmmm.. sedap !!

Though personally, i found the 'xiao bai cai' a little saltish due to the soya sauce but afterall, it blends well with the rest of the dish...

The funny thing was four of us don't really know how to appreciate the fish head.. we were wondering how on earth to eat the fish's eyes which some pple say it's good for our eyes coz "yi xing bu xing" mah.. hee hee :p We just like to eat rice with the 'curry-gravy'..Ha..ha... Finally, if you like 'sour' curry fish head.. this is the place i would strongly recommend.

Stall No. 14: Japanese Cuisine (Beef Tepanyaki Set ($4.80))

Stall no. 13: Hand Noodle Stall (Mee Hoon Kway ($3.00))

Stall no. 14: Japanese Cuisine (Menu)

It's a moody blue Monday (5 Feb 07)... only 3 of us today.. so we choose a location nearer for our lunch. We all dragged our feet to the Kopitiam at JEC (Jurong Entertainment Centre) situated next to Jurong East MRT station. It's an aircon food court located at the 2nd level of JEC.

Personally, I chose the fish set at the japanese cuisine stall. Though the taste can't compare to those serve in authentic japanese restaurant, i would say this is really value for money (see pic), as the portion of the fish is quite large. Furthermore, as i enjoyed a special discount of 10% as i have the 'Blue Kopitiam Card'.. :-P

Overall, if you looking for an comfy aircon eatery environment.... guess you wouldn't give this place a miss though the food is not too unbearable.. heeeheee :-)

Duck Rice - Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice

It's Thursday, 11:55am and it's lunch time again.. and here comes our favourite question "lunch wer" huh? hee hee.. So today we decided to have duck rice! I muz say the service of the uncle was super efficient. The moment we sat down, he was like " want kangkong, tofu, spare parts (internal organs.. hee hee) ?" We din even have the time to react, then he went on " want lemon juice or barley?" Me and another coll wanted barley, the rest of the coll din even have the chance to speak when the uncle said "all barley lah, yi tiao xin". hahaha.. the scene was so comical... Oops.. drifted a bit too far again. Okay, back to the food, I personally find the duck quite good, boneless being an additional bonus. The tofu and kangkong was still ok, though i find the tofu a bit bland for my liking. Overall, i find the food not bad but a little too pricy..

Bukit Batok - Chow Kway Teow

Rating: 6/10

Rating: 7.5/10

Chow Kway Teow Stall - $2 / $2.5 / $3

Hokkien Mee Stall

It's Fri, 2 Feb 07.. today we went for our lunch at Bukit Batok St 11, blk 154 coffee shop. We ordered char kway teow, hokkien mee and the "hao-jian" (fried oyster) to share among 3 of us. Our colleagues told us that the hokkien mee stall will charge 50 cents if ask for extra chilli. True enough, we did saw the display sign at the stall.

Overall, 3 of us agreed on overall, the standard of the food was not that fantastic compared to what they had on other days. We find the hokkien mee a little too bland for our liking though the chilli was great to go with it. My colls find the fried kway teow a bit salty. The omelette of the hao jian was not that crispy and sometimes there's still some lumpy starch. Nonetheless, it worth to give it a try if you are around this neighbourhood looking for nice food.
