Hass Bawa: Not too Spicy, not too Sweet, Just Nice

I admit that I haven't really had a Mee Goreng that I can remember being really shiok. Then again I am not really a Mee Goreng fan, so I don't go around specifically looking for Mee Goreng like I do Hokkien Mee.

However, when I did my Marine Parade series the last time, Damien chided me for not trying the Mee Goreng here which according to him was "quite shiok leh". Ok since I was having the Presidential Teh Tarik that day, I thought I might as well give it a try.

It was surprisingly quite good. It was not overly spicy and the mutton was seasoned just nice. Indeed a commendable Mee Goreng but still not something I would crave for. 4/5

Conclusion

Good Mee Goreng for those who like this dish.

Haji M Abdul Razak Stall: Care for Some Mutton Soup? Geylang Serai Temp Mkt Part 3 of 5

With liverpool and iwatch_ueat


I think I must have stopped taking mutton soup about 20 years ago ever since I started to get worried about my cholesterol levels. But I do remember some of the really shiok mutton soup that my Dad and I used to have when I was a kid. Nowadays, it is not just the cholesterol that worries me, its also the fact that spicy, oily stuff always gives me indigestion.

But anyway, this stall's signboard states that they are a branch of the famous Upper Boon Keng Food Centre which have been dishing up Mutton Soup since 1955. Ok lah, worth a try.

The soup was actually very good. It was smooth and savoury (some mutton soup can be quite powdery) and its great when you are looking for something to satisfy that craving for umami. 4/5. The owner said the soup over at the main branch would be even better as the turnover was greater over there, so the soup would be tastier. (Looks like a visit to Upper Boon Keng FC is in order)



Liverpool liked the mee goreng here. For me, I'll have to admit that I have tasted bad mee goreng before to say that this one is NOT bad, but I haven't yet tasted a superdupershiok mee goreng to say that this one is NOT shiok. So I will give it 3.75/5

Conclusion

Have not tasted enough of these dishes to make a good judgement. To me they were quite good. Please write in if you know of this stall or their main branch!

Ibrahim Mee Stall: Roti John that's soft on the inside, crispy on the outside

With smart, liverpool1965, tamago and iwatch_ueat


Forget what the stall sign says about this being a mee stall. Go straight for the Roti John and you will, as William Hung said, have no regrets! The Roti John is the best one I have had for years. The secret is in the use of a really nice soft bun instead of the usual french loaf. The skin only turns crispy when they toast it in wok after they fry the side with the egg. What you get is a crispy rather then chewy crust and soft, melt in your mouth bread which has absorbed the flavours of the egg, margarine and spicy mutton. They also serve with with a killer sweet chilli sauce which they prepare themselves!! Until I taste the ex-Taman Serasi one recommended by smart, this is my current favourite Roti John in Singapore! 4.25/5



We were less impressed with the mee goreng however. It was good but not exceptional. 3/5

Conclusion

Go for the Roti John!
