The good eats thread

[Arctic]

Last time Changi v really legend for food if the fish head bee hoon still around won't even mention this. This one i mostly eat their ipoh hor fun got nice herbal smell but i many  years never go so now i dunno
Even the famous international nl standards drop until siao with small chicken wing and not fried on spot. Last time   their chicken wing really is big and crispy hot. They only use fresh chicken not frozen because not signs of darken blood in the joint
Even the mx fried banana slack off the recent time i eat not fried on spot. Cold and soggy.
When the neighbor competitor still around the fried fritter really good

Yah standard of everything dropped
The opening hrs of international also quite rabak
Minzy also not nice. A case of mistaken identity due to change of unit. Iirc they use plastic cutlery... So troublesome to use

Tried to find gado gado a few times but the stalls either dun sell or not open

[BuiBuiForeverAlone]

sugar cane drink? normal what, every where can find.

i do like their coconut and pineapple drink though, yeah I know it is fake.

Changi V food is overrated rah

Come recommend some

got post before mah

tekka duck rice (a bit controversial coz the lor zhup seems mostly dark soy taste only, but they got duck intestines). heng gi duck rice. i nv try the original founder one at hong lim
ah xiao teochew duck
jalan kukoh the fish soup (nv try before the piao ji - prostitute fish soup at amoy tho)
the beef noodle at amoy which is now closed

restaurants i feel

dian xiao er is nice
hdl is overpriced and overhyped. the fish sometimes got bones
ding tai fung, i feel it's overhyped. the xiaolong bao is nice but the fried rice is okok only tbh
mongkok's egg tart was good, then they stopped offering it. the carrot cake is ok, buay pai

the geylang beef hor fun is actually ok only. feel like standards dropped or was never there tbh but people keep hyping about the wok hei

geylang lor 29? hokkien mee is very controversial. it's very oily and the mee mushy and soggy, but got wok hei and at the same time chao tar smell. the smell is nice and they use lots of eggs and the prawns are fresh and lard give quite a bit and use the 韭菜 which is rare. i feel eat once in a while is not bad but apart from being ex, it's quite very jelat

ah yong's kueh is actually not bad, more consistent than the jalan kukoh kueh

the beach road michelin bak chor mee, i think it's ok only. not bad not terrible but overhyped and overpriced. u buy back means not nice

the outram park CKT i feel standard not rly there and u cannot dabao back else it tastes worse than other ckt, because i think they fry it more saucy so when u go back the ckt become in bits and their hum is smaller although a lot. part of the sauce they use the cockles blood so the smell is stronger (a lot of people nv notice)

what else ah....... ok pineapple tarts that time i nv reveal. bengawan solo's one is nice, but the D'pastry one is also good, next year u all can buy to try. it's damn ex though. a lot of those reviews the people's tastebuds also shitty tbh

the hong xing fishball noodle is not bad. lixin one can taste it's freshly made but i feel the bounce is slightly less than hong xing

then the longhouse popiah at kim keat is actually nice. but sort of close down liao, they got website though. the turtle soup there is actually buay pai, but it's weird that their chicken soup tastes similar

hmm what else ah. ah liang shark meat and zhu jiao dong is not bad esp the zhu jiao dong. the shark meat the sauce not everyone will like cause it's sweet sauce. i personally dont like but both are teochew dishes

i find punggol nasi lemak actually not bad tbh. i feel the Alderic? or some guy his taste buds usually quite zhun.

Song fa i find it ok as a chain. told u the original outlet was at raffles hospital now

Ya Hua i went to eat and ok lor not bad, but ex.

what else ah? i also dunno liao....... purvis street the chicken rice got many outlets and were not bad previously, but some daobi or closed down liao, all are related ones

then bak kwa, the one which BSG recommended is also more towards my taste, than LCG or the Peng Guan or sth.
I would say the one he recommended? dunno is Kim Hua Guan or sth wins LCG, which wins Peng Guan. but Peng Guan price point really cannot fight



i think my taste buds quite similar to bsg

egg tarts. i like the custard from the one near OG. but many people dont find their crust nice. i find it acceptable. It's toh kee, but i cant rem the new name. it's still selling. I like their custard but the crust is ok barely acceptable - just not good. If they make it more flaky or put more butter to improve then i would think it's better. but the crust is quite tasteless from what many say and feel

If talk about custard alone i like the Toh Kee one near their duck rice. these stalls are related. If crust then tong heng but they should use less lard

I find it not overly sweet nor overly eggy compared to the Tong Heng, but can taste Tong Heng's crust and maybe custard uses pork lard. makes it smell nicer but also more jelat. the crust is more crispy.

I dont really like tai cheong or the dunno what joyluck one. the crust is super buttery until over buttery. https://eatbook.sg/old-school-egg-tarts/

I find bengawan solo's one last time not bad, just that the custard is a bit hard and the egg tart crust is cold. but it's more balanced. if their custard can be softer then i would prefer that. and i dont like them putting it in the fridge... but i think they nv sell liao

CKT one i must go the Outram one (last time no queue one back in outram, or shorter queue). there was also a duck noodle there that i still rem eating with my mum... it's a bit herbal one

@bsg , u know that duck noodle/kway teow or not..

ah xiao teochew duck is the one at golden mile fc?

I like dian xiao er too! Pour the zhup onto the rice! And even the kailan is nice, got citrusy taste

For bkt, I prefer ng ah sio at rangoon road. Must order tea too

Roast Duck will be dian xiao er for restaurants... recently the hongisbored say bendemeer got super nice roast duck... i think i will go try that soon and see whether it's worth the hype.

the kai lan im mixed about it. i like the citrusy taste and most of the dishes but the citrusy taste also a bit weird.

most restaurants can make pretty good kai lan.......

including the Lai Huat seafood at horne road. that one is good u can order the 比目鱼....... which is what they usually use or the pomfret. i feel the bi mu yu version is nicer........ Oh ya it's called Sole Fish. It's also called Halibut. u can go google. it's a deep water fish but the eyes were at first on different side, then slowly migrated to be on same side coz i think it's a bottom sucker fish

it's 80% or more similar to Cod Fish, i think SG and Asia uses atlantic Cod. but the price is probably slightly more than half. and it's less oily and soft.

It has more texture i feel, similar taste at roughly 60% of the price. go buy from song fish and steam it yourself the teochew way. i guarantee u, ur parents will love it.

Cod fish, u cut into it become mushy or mixed into the sauce liao. this sole fish/halibut can maintain its shape until u kiap it up.

even if u fry it, it's less wasteful than cod fish which is like what, $70 or what.......

https://mothership.sg/2021/12/singapore-cod-chilean-seabass-explainer/

actually im wrong. the real cod probably tastes different since i think we are mostly buying chilean seabass.

maybe one day i will buy and test the 3 for u all and buy for my father or sth

but chilean seabass is still damn super ex compared to halibut.

if not wrong, at song fish, 1 pack of "cod fish" chilean seabass is $80 or sth while halibut is $50

Actually the Atlantic Cod's cross section looks way more alike to Halibut than anything

but deep water fish bottom feeder, maybe they say got more mercury or sth

[老曾记]

u all got eat the char kway teow at chin swee road boh? i think it's not too bad

then the fish soup at jalan kukoh.......... BSG also got go one right?

jalan kukoh also got the quite famous teochew kueh.......... but actually i feel yong's is better

Thursday me going jb to eat ckt

yes flounder. what u mean by very expensive?

they are called by different names or are of the same family. flounder very ex meh? it's not cheap but still cheaper than whats marketed as Cod Fish


Halibut is the common name for three species of flatfish in the family of right-eye flounders. In some regions, and less commonly, other species of large flatfish are also referred to as halibut.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halibut


Flatfish, solefish, flounder, halibut. u know they are also the Ti Por that teochews used to put in steam boat and dishes?
