Well, first posting in this new and foreign-to-me server. Hope my blogs gets better from here on. Anyway, to begin my this first posting, I decided to begin it with nonetheless, an episode of......
HO JIA EHTM
This time around, didn't caught hold of the particulars of the place, so here's the only detail I can provide - the route which I took to go to that restaurant. Hahaha.

I took bus number 317 from the Serangoon Interchange. In fact, I took the Northeast line from Plaza Singapura(typed this name instead because I have forgotten how to spell the name of the station near PS) and alighted at Serangoon station. From which, I walked to the Serangoon interchange that haven't changed a bit since my primary school days. I still remember going there for tuition and getting my PSLE results slip photocopied in one of the small shops at the rear of the interchange. Really, nothing has changed much of Serangoon central. Here's a picture I took on the bus.

Getting back to this episode of HO JIA EHTM before I drift further into my history 10 years ago which could go on and on and on and then I'll forget what I was suppose to type in the first place. Ok ok, alight at Serangoon circus and the restaurant called PO SING RESTAURANT will be on the left if u face the country mana resturant just in front of the bus stop.

The restaurant is famous of its Bai Zhan JI(Hainanese Chicken Rice) which was delicious. Going for a standard price of $4 per person. The meat is juicy and tender, soaked with enough sesame oil and soya bean sauce to tandalized your tastes buds. Though they only provided so little cucumber underneath the meat, which was the only bad point.

Other than their zhao pai chai(dishes that the restuarant is famous for), they also sell dishes like Shark's fin, chicken cooked in many different ways, fish, pork, sea food, soup and vegetables. Hence, it's become more of the kind of Zhi Cha restaurant which you can find in coffee shops. I tried this sambal kang kong, it's not really good. Too much chilli oil and the vegetable seems to be chopped up as if the chef thinks that he was chopping garlic. Fortunately, he didn't chopped it up like the chilli sauce they provided on their tables.

Udang prawn. Really spicy stuff, should have stick to another type of cooking because the kang kong was already a spicy dish. The prawns were nice, heads were all suckable(if you know what I mean) and the shells could be chewed and swallowed WHEN they first arrived. Well, simply because after a while, the shells become soft due to the mixing of the sauce.
This restaurant seem to draw the usual crowd with some tai tais and some families coming in to dine. Please don't mistake the coffee shop in the same block as country mana selling kampong chicken. Their chickens look so scrony and sucked dried that I was surprised that there were at least three tables filled in the shop. LOL. Well, you never know until you eat them right?
Ok, that marks the end of the first post of my fresh new blog. Shall be looking forward to the gathering tommorrow. Going to the well-known Settler's Cafe in Clarke Quay, some place that probably EVERYBODY in universities know EXCEPT me.
