Nagara Thai Gold

Nagara Thai Gold @ City Square Mall. They sell pre-bottled tamarind soft drinks here, first time trying it. Also ordered Thai milk tea that has 2 layers, maybe they pour milk into the tea concentrate.

Once again, its all about the kway teow teng. This broth is very sweet with strong beefy flavor, I think there is sugar added to it. Lots of chopped fried garlic inside as well as fresh herbs & veges normally served raw as a side is cooked into the broth already.

Stuffed chicken wings are delicious, like giant meatballs filled with mushroom, woodear and some other foods. Dessert of candied tapioca with coconut milk needed more coconut milk, other than that it's perfect. The coconut milk curries are obviously not for me.

Viet Mama

This family run eatery along macpherson road has Vietnamese street food like bot loc on its menu. But I just ordered a bahn mi sandwich, pho noodles and fresh summer rolls. The drinks are authentic Vietnamese coffee and tea.

The ingredients in the sandwich and noodles are quite little but still delicious. I really like the summer rolls coz they add meat slices inside in addition to prawns, don't really need the prawns actually, works with just luncheon meat or hams.

Its really about kway teow teng, that's all I am ordering these days when I am not feeling well. Some people say porridge but I much prefer this over porridge. The raw veges & herbs it comes with make a world of difference, wish there was more of it!

Sakura oolong fruit tea and Four Season fruit green tea from Ucha Lavender, comes with real cut fruit inside. There are also some snacks of hotdogs & popcorn chicken.

DIY Fruit Salad

This is usually done with unripe fruits or fruits with little to no flavor. But this time around I am using these Sainsbury frozen cut fruit pouches @ $5 per 500gm is about the same price as fresh uncut fruits.

I am adding in fresh lime, fresh mint and creme fraiche, you can get flavored creme fraiche around Christmas time. Alternatives are canned whipped cream or mascarpone cheese used in tiramisu.

Another combination is Vietnamese chili salt with granulated sugar, this one has lime in it. Pair with tamarind candy for that sweet salty licorice flavor. 

Usually its guava with preserved tangerine peel, sour plum or compressed candy powder. Other types of suitable fresh fruit available here are unripe mango / papaya / kiwi, jambu, jujube.

8 Degrees Taiwanese Eatery

This Taiwanese quick eats has been opening up new outlets lately. I ordered the iced drinks I am familiar with, sour plum lime and honey lemon, no coca cola.

Tofu with pork floss! doesn't matter if its steamed or deep-fried, just as delicious. That and the famous deep-fried chicken chops are not to be missed.

Scallion pancakes with spicy vinegar sauce and oyster pig intestine meesua go together. A surprising combination, I eat that spicy vinegar with both.

Satay & Chicken Wings / Rojak

Popular tea time snacks we like to indulge in. I like the bbq satay meat, don't really need the peanut sauce. Chicken wings on the other hand require that extra spicy chili sauce, if not I won't order it.

Rojak is actually from a famous toa payoh food court that has long Qs all the time. The secret is in the extra dried cuttlefish, jellyfish, century egg and stuffed beancurd you can add into it.

Som Tum @ Golden Mile Complex / Frog Porridge @ Geylang

Thai food from Beerthai House Restaurant @ Golden Mile Complex. It's kway teow soup for one so finally I get to try authentic Thai street food, its really kinda like beef pho noodles. This is the only place to deliver with a side of fresh herbs & veges too!

And more som tum to mix with canned fried ikan bilis, super yummy & addictive. This place offers at least a dozen different types of som tum like in Thailand. Always order raw seafood and let it sit for a few hours, the sourness makes the seafood ceviche sweeter.

Didn't order dessert coz I ordered the red ruby dessert syrup with lime drink. Also, sweet milk coffee that tastes a little like chinchow and sweet milk tea.

Frog porridge from Geylang in either spicy dried chilis or non-spicy spring onion. I always like the porridge from here coz its smooth like soup you can just drink it all down. Not enough frog though always have to remember to order more.

BBQ prawns in butter, hae bi hiam, lime and chinchalok, complete flavor bomb so much so you almost cannot taste the prawns. I mixed the hae bi hiam into the porridge for that extra spicy kick. One of Singapore's famous late night suppers at home.

 

bulk supplies for me

 

Capri-Sun juice packs in new flavors I haven't seen before, Multi-Vitamins has passionfruit in it, Fun Alarm is really sweet, Mystic Dragon has dragonfruit in it.

Switching to another brand of painkillers EVE from Japan, have to pay for shipping. There are 5 types Melt, Quick, DX, EX, A.

Trying to address snack attacks with ready-to-eat food in individual serving size. I think this box of twisties & cheezels is the same size as the ones in minimarts.

Kiliney instant coffee & tea as well as nespresso capsules! Soo excited especially with the free traditional kopitiam cups.

Delifrance tarts and pastries, no bread. They even included a cupful of sugar syrup for my homemade tea & mixed drinks.

Coca Cola canned drinks that are really more for guests. Not really into fizzy sweet drinks these days. Also more soap, shower gels, hand washes, dish detergent.
