Very popular dinner place in the East: Feng Shan Market, Bedok North Blk 85.

This is from the BBQ stall, Lovely Seafood. 

There are 3 bak chor mee (mince pork noodles) stalls that are very popular in the market, but apparently this is the original stall - Ah Poh bak chor mee. It is in the second row.. hmm or is it the third row? Uh well.. whatever it is, it is not the 2 stalls facing the main road. The story goes like this, Ah Poh used to be in the row facing the main road, but because it was making very good business, earning lots of $$$, the stall owner eyes got a little green and decided to raise the rental. He refuses to budge and pay more, so he moved to the back. On the other hand, the original stall was taken over by the owner who started his own bak chor mee. 

This is from the Newton, Hokkien Prawn Mee stall. We thought it tasted a little bit too blend, too healthy!
Was deciding between having a plate of 10 chicken wings or a spring chicken. Decided on the latter, so here it is. 
Aye, after consuming this poor spring chicken, we felt we should have ordered chicken wings instead. The breast meat of this little chicken is way to dry. 
Our 30 sticks of satays, 10 chicken, 10 mutton, 10 pork. My favourite is the chicken satay. What i love most about this satay is the pineapple sauce that comes with the gravy.

Sushi Tei@Holland Village

Skipped to Holland Village for lunch with a Japanese Food Crazy woman, here is what we had. And this is also what I ALWAYS order. 

I simply cant resist it! I Love Unagi.
Sashimi platter. First time eating Otoro! Sushi Tei is having a promotion for this sashimi platter at $25. Lovely oily Otoro, Salmon Belly and Sword Fish! All my favourite! 
Had the potato croquette, Opps forgot to take a photo before tucking into it. 
Erm cant remember the name of this grilled fish. Whatever it is, if you are looking for grilled fish, just head to Sakuraya, fresher and certainly more satisfying. 

And.............. within 3 hours, I am feeding again... this time round went to the other side of Singapore, Bedok South Market Opposite TJC for their fishball noodles. I am usually not a fan of fish ball noodles, but i kinda want something light and the fish soup stall was closed so... no choice... being a sucker for queue (well the mentality is if there is a queue it must be worthy of the tastbuds) so here I am eating the rather boring fishball noodles. 
so is it worthy of the tastebud? no! The Kway Teow was mushy and glooey, the sauce was alright but should have asked for more vinegar (much more since we have already asked uncle to add more) Oh to be fair to the stall, the fishball was good, bouncy and yummy! Then again, hmmm i am not a very fishbally person. So yes, why did i even bother to patronise this stall.... the QUEUE!

Was up battling scripts of papers with my trusty red pen till the wee hours of the morning and since it was already 430am I decided that I shant go to bed and I should stay up updating my blog and at 530 I could fetch my mum to the market. Yes yes my mum goes to market very early in the morning so that she could her a precious Ikan Kurau filet. 

Of course a trip to the market would comprise of breakfast - My favourite meal of the day. 

Ba chor Kway Teow soup with dumpling. A very popular stall with long queue forming when the clock strikes 7!

Mum and i shared another plate of Vegetarian Bee hoon. 
Blk 46 Bedok South Market 

(This is a temporary stall, heard they are going to move back to the original location at Blk 58 from 1st Oct)

Big D's Grill

Made a swift escape to Big D's Grill today. Have been having the strong urge to try this place since reading ieatishootipost.sg posting. I told myself I need, I must, I will have the Kurobuta Pork!

I was told I have to wait 20min for the chef to fire up the grill, hence I ordered the soup of the day, clam chowder, to keep me occupied. Clam chowder was ordinary, in fact a little diluted but I love the very 'garlicy' toasted bread. 

Ohhh this is what i came for. For the sake of Lynn, she has ordered me to explain what IS the kurobuta. 

Kurobuta are Berkshire Pigs. Berkshire pigs are rare breed of pigs originating from Britain. They are "Britain's oldest pig breed". Kurobuta (Black Pig) is the Japanese term of the Berkshire breed given to Japan by English diplomats in the 1800s. Like the Kurobuta beef's analogues (Wagyu Beef) the pork is well known for its superb meat marbling. The character Napoleon in George Orwell is a Berkshire. =)
Hmm so how do i find the cute black pig? First bite (with the fats) very tender, full of flavour, juicy, best piece of pork I have ever eaten. Second bite with the apple sauce that was given, wow! Perfect match of both the fatty meat and the tangy apple sauce, really wonderful complement! Match made in heaven! Third bite still very delicious. Fourth bite taste like Char Siew! Fifth bite, somehow without the fats the meat seems a little too dry and too salty for my palate.  Tasted abit like smoked ham? Towards the end, I had to drown my meat in the apple sauce cos it was too salty and dry. As always the first two bites are always the best! Whatever it is, worth trying at least once!
One of the side was pumpkin mash, the other side I'm not too sure, some sort of beans I guess, maybe Pinto beans? Anyway the 'i dont know what' was certainly better than the pumpkin mash. Nevertheless both the sides were unique and good, not your usual french fries, bakes beans that you get in a kopi thiam stall. 
Yes! this is the pinkish meat that is characteristic of Kurobuta!
Finally! Homemade dessert, Bonet! Mention ieatishoot and you get a free dessert worth $4 for every $30 spend. This I must say is the highlight of the meal! I am not someone with a sweet tooth, but this smooth, rich, bitter sweet chocolate pudding with caramel sauce is simply heavenly! It slides into the back of your throat and gives your mouth a sweet bitter feeling. Certainly more than satisfy my week long craving of dark chocolate!

For a hawker stall this is not cheap, Pork cost $36, but I guess if you are going to have the Black Pig in a restaurant, it will easily come up to about $50. They have other items like beer battered snapper fish, bangers and mash, beef goulash, boneless chicken leg, pasta etc. Oh you can join the facebook: Fans of Big D's Grill for more information.
