Wanton mee at Restoran Selayang

This afternoon, went to Tampines 1 food court to eat at the KL roasted stall - Restoran Selayang. The wanton picture looks good, so decided to order the wanton mee. But the wanton itself is disappointing, too small and doesn't match the picture.

The char siew is ok as usual. But I find their char siew quality is not always consistent. It depends on which part of the meat you got. Some tender, some rather hard, despite the fact they are using meat with fat.

The surprise is actually the noodle and sauce. They claim to use Pontian noodle, somehow the " "Pontian noodle" has made a name in Singapore scene. Ignore the name, the noodle is curly, springy and chewy. The sauce is good, I can't figure out how they made the sauce. But it goes very well with the noodle.

You can try it as Plaza Singapura or Tampines 1 food court.

ezLink Giro auto top up comes with a fee

Like it or not. After end of Sep, the Giro auto top up facility of ezLink no longer comes free. It has already cause some discontent, when people trying to take away free facility to become charging service.

1. The application would take 21 days, instead of almost instant application previously
2. It only works with DBS and POSB
3. The most important part is there is a convenience fee of 0.25 per top up, like the credit card

Of course, people can come up with reason to justify the fee. But, as a consumer, that is no good. Again, like it or not, it is a fact now and we have to do away with the auto top up.

我说 笨珍云吞面

有些事真的是不吐不快。这一期的优1周介绍了在新加坡开了十多档的笨珍云吞面，档口的名字是祖传六十年笨珍云吞面。我去吃过，根本就不好吃，但是讽刺的是居然还开了十多档。人生真是充满矛盾啊。

笨珍版：
面条以茄汁入味，通常都加上辣椒酱。辣椒与普通云吞面在用的不同，类似美极辣椒酱，这是好吃的关键。面与叉烧，菜心一起上桌。汤里有云吞及鱼丸，云吞皮滑馅薄，美味可口。最出名的店家是‘兴兴’。

新加坡版：
面条类似 笨珍版，有茄汁的做法，但是味道有差别。叉烧是新加坡版本的，忘了有没有菜心。云吞的味道根本就不像，居然还是炸的。我只能说根本就是垃圾，只有面条有点像罢了。但是话又说回来，去掉笨珍的名号，它应该还是有可取之处，不然不会有这么多人捧场。

一句话，纯正的笨珍云吞面是比冒牌的好吃多了。去笨珍吃吧！

This is a mixed post. Still have a few pictures haven't posted.


135 Fishball noodle at Tampines. The fishball is really good, very Q and tasty. The sauce also mixed very well.

Blogger posting page problem with Singtel solved

I was having the blogger posting page screwed up problem for few weeks already. Only today, after I went through quite a few post in the blogger support forum, then I realise the problem is with Singtel.

Somehow, it just screw up the page. So, I followed someone suggestion to press the Ctrl + F5 in the screwed up page. You guess what, it works again. This shortcut force the browser to ignore all cache content and re-fetch all the things from the web server again. I hope this problem would go away forever.

Itacho Sushi at Ion Orchard

On the same day I went Ion Orchard, I also tasted the first outlet of Itacho Sushi. It has many stores in HK and first time open shop in Singapore.

I came during lunch time, so it is less crowded. They were having the lunch set at 9.90 only. I ordered the Matsu lunch set with 10 sushi, plus two a la carte sushi. You have choice to order sushi in one piece only.

Let's talk about the 10 piece Matsu sushi set. The sushi were being displayed on a long plate, layout in a straight line. This make it looks nice. By the way, your sushi is being made only after you order. This guarantee the freshness and I was satisfied with the quality.

The other two that I ordered were Lobster and Mango salad roll and Cod Liver Scallop Sushi. The lobster mango roll is nice, but the sweet mango overpower the lobster taste. I can only tell it is a mango roll.


Next is the cod liver scallop sushi. Looks tempting right. This is very nicely done that it melts in the mouth.

My verdict: it is worth your dollars. Visit them next time.
