Usually after a long day of shopping, most of us try to find a nice place to relax and recharge our batteries. So while i was out at far east plaza today, i decided to try the food at this corner shop at the basement selling all sorts of different foods. Unfortunately, there was no name written visibly at the store.



I personally enjoy cantonese food very much, so i decided to try their prawn chee cheong fan. Everything there is pretty reasonably priced, they serve porridge, fried rice and pancakes.



The most interesting part in all of it was that the lady actually makes the chee cheong fan right in front of you! I was so facinated by the way it was made. It seemed so easy!



20 seconds later, I was presented with a tray of hot piping chee cheong fan! The taste was simply delicious, the flour made to perfect texture and the prawns ever so fresh! They were very generous with the ingredients. Not to mention that you can even mix the charsiew and the prawn together with no extra charge!



The chee cheong fan is priced at $3.50. Cheaper than if you eat it at catonese restaurants like crystal jade and imperial treasure! Plus they give you so much more than what you would get at the restaurant!

My ratings for this store would be:
Taste: 4/5
Price: 4/5
Ambience: 3/5

So the next time you're over at far east plaza, take the time to head down to the basement to try it out! Its located near the Shilin Food Stall, basement 1.

So for today's entry, I decided to hunt for the best local minced meat noodles(also known as bak chor mee) and asked around to see which were the few more popular ones! After hearing so many great compliments from reputable sites such as hungrygowhere , I decided to head down to this place called Meng Kitchen to taste and see how good it really is!



It was amongst many other food stalls selling almost the exact same thing, however, it was the only one that was so packed! Tip: Try avoiding the lunch crowd by heading there at around 1130 to secure yourself a seat!



The place is not airconditioned and it can be quite challenging to find a parking lot around the area, but for the sake of good food, it is definitely worth it!
Although Meng Kitchen is famous for their minced meat noodles, there were many other varities available for patrons to try.




I ordered the kway teow mian while C ordered the thin yellow noodles (mee kia). It was priced very affordably at $3.50 per bowl.





They are very generous with the minced meat helpings; and even though I asked to add extra mushrooms, there wasnt any extra charge! The best thing about this place is that it is open 24HRS! So when you have sudden random cravings for noodles at ungodly hours of the day, you can always head down to thomson for a piping hot bowl of delicious minced meat noodles!

I am not a very adventurous person when it comes to food, therefore it would require alot of persuasion to get me to try something new. However, when McDonalds came to singapore with their seaweed shaker fries, I was hooked. I would purchase at least one pack of seaweed fries a day. Like me, many other singaporeans would also be upsizing their meal just for the seaweed fries.

Even though seaweed fries was such a hit, McDonalds decided to make it available for a limited time only. Therefore, I took it upon myself to hunt for the store with the best seaweed fries in Singapore so that I could continue eating it without having to wait for McDonalds.

And after browsing through google and going through the many forums, I decided to take a chance on this new place called:



It is store within bugis village that specialises in all sorts of taiwanese goodies. They have tofu fries, chicken cutlet and popcorn chicken just to name a few. You can even select the base ingredient that you want your dish to be cooked with!



Having to go through an ERP of $3 just to reach the store, I insisted on buying at least 3 packs of fries. And to my delight, they had such a wide array of flavours to choose from!

TIP: BRING A FRIEND! AS MORE PEOPLE = MORE FOOD



C and I decided to order 4 packs of fries, one packet of popcorn chicken and 2 drinks (upsized), and the bill came up to $19.30! But trust me, it was worth every cent!



We ordered Super Caramel Milk and Caramel Milk Tea with Grass Jelly, and my were we in for a surprise! If you think KOI and GONGCHA is the best that's out there, go and try one of TAIMEI's milk teas. It was so smooth and rich in flavour that it made koi's milk tea seem plain in comparison.



Then, with much anticipation, we decided to try the seaweed fries!




The hot and cripsy fries were simply irresistable! There was an overwhelming amount of seaweed seasoning put into the packet of fries, so every bite was simply heavenly. And for $2.50, this is the amount of fries you get:



Overall, my ratings out of 5 are:

Head down to I LOVE TAIMEI, and I can guarantee you wont be disappointed!
