Ameeda's Indian Muslim Food



This eatery is one of Panda's Picks so I am expecting it to be good, its more like pasar malam indian food with home delivery. I ordered a full meal of Kambing (mutton bone) soup, Kway Teow Goreng Seafood and Fried Chicken 65.


Kway teow goreng is not that common and its a bit like dry char kway teow you get for breakfast at the market.


The Kambing soup doesn't have any bones in it, I find it a little oily but after I left it in the fridge overnight and removed the layer of oil on top, its actually really good soup.



The Chicken 65 is all meat only dressed with slices of raw onion, as opposed to tendons and bones that is the usual case @ pasar malams. The portion is a little small, like a side dish for $4.


Brown Sugar Bubble Tea from iTea with additional red bean filling inside. This brown sugar trend has brought me back to drinking bubble tea.

Oasis Taiwan Porridge - Takeaway




Oasis Taiwan Porridge is located at Toa Payoh Town Park, I ordered takeaway this time around and didn't check the items, the herbal jelly turned out as barley drinks instead, but everything is nicely packed so it doesn't spill.


Oysters with Black Bean Sauce, Salted Egg Sotong, Pickled Jellyfish. They make their own century eggs here, one for $1.60 sgd.


Local style desserts from Koufu foodcourt @ Toa Payoh Central. Ice Kachang, Ice Jelly, Almond Beancurd, Tapioca with Coconut milk.

Hua Zai Frog Porridge



No choice but to apply for my new Mastercard, with all the shops closed the only way to buy my stuff is online and for that I need a debit/credit card. Passion Platinum promises no fees ever and 4% cash rebates on my purchases at Giant/Cold Storage/Guardian. 


My favorite meal for late night suppers is claypot frog porridge. Frog is a white meat quite similar to chicken. Trying out a new place from Toa Payoh Industrial Park, usually I go to the famous stall in Chinatown.


I ordered a set meal for 2 to 3 people, its gong bao frog with 3 whole frogs in it, porridge, 2 sides of clams, $40.


This place also sells chicken claypot if you are not into frog, but I think for this style of porridge, frog is good.

3 Day Deep Fried Pork with Rice



This dish is a cross between Khao Pad and Nam Khao. I tried to make it in its entirety for lunch and realized that its actually meant to be cooked and eaten over 3 days.


First Day : boil the pork in water with tomyum herbs, then use the same water to cook the rice. Serve separately the fresh salad, boiled pork and rice.


Second Day : deep-fry the leftover salad, pork and rice then mix it all together before serving.


Third Day : stir-fry leftover mixture with additional condiments. I have thai fish sauce, tamarind juice, flavored salt (preserved shrimp paste mixed with salt).

Crystal Jade Golden Palace @ Paragon



Last meal outside @ Crystal Jade Golden Palace before everything closes for the Covid-19 home quarantines. This is the Crystal Jade branch that serves new age Chinese food, the last time I was here I had the ginseng cocktail shooters and cold crab. 


They ordered the cold crab this time around too! The egg roe has a really intense flavor almost like preserved duck eggs.


Starters of preserved veges taste like the ones in the supermarket, I can eat the whole packet as a snack.


Really nice roast meats and fried rice to start our meal off. 


Shark collagen soup and vermicelli clams.


Beijing Roast Duck with freshly made pancakes and the remaining duck meat gets diced into tiny cubes for easy eating. 


Some pricey items of lobster mee, wagyu beef and red wine. I would come back again just for these items.


There was 2 orders of carrot cake for the kids that I had some of, its pretty good.
