Company lunch @ RSYC Singapore

Had a face stuffing company lunch today at the RSYC. We usually go for the fish head curry but decided to have something else today. Just some good old ala carte stuff like gado-gado and fish head noodles. Taste was alright, liked the gado-gado better. Peanut sauce was good and comparable to the one I had at Bintan. The ingredients were generous but I think I'll stick to our fish head curry the next time.

Healthy Snack - Red cabbage and plum chips

Was feeling really hungry one day and I needed a quick fix before dinner. I opened my fridge and saw an expiring head of red cabbage. Suddenly an epiphany struck me and I cut up the cabbage into potato chip sizes and sliced up some sweet plums. I then took the whole bowl and plonked myself in front of the TV. The snack was crispy, juicy and sweet. Wonderful guilt free way to enjoy a crunchy snack.

Blk 39 Teban Gardens Road Fish Bee Hoon (Hao Chu Seafood)

I am a big fan of fish noodles soup. One of my favourite fish noodles hails from an unassuming kopitiam zichar stall in Teban Gardens - Hao Chu. I discovered it out of accident a couple of years ago. We were driving around teban gardens to park our car when we drove past this zichar place and saw that that it was brimming with people despite the heavy rains. So us being the typical Singaporeans, we decided to check it out. We noticed people ordering almost the same thing that day - the white bowl of noodles with the milky broth. Ahh, fish soup it was. I decided to try it too and boy was I sold!

The broth was a wonderful mix of chinese herbs (including dang gui according to my mom) with a tinge of evaporated milk. S$4.50 gives you a bowl of noodles and 4 large pieces of fish. There's a side of cut chili that you should add into the noodles if you're a fan of spice. It adds that extra zing to the soup. My only gripe about this place is that the noodles aren't always consistent, sometimes they taste really good, sometimes it's just normal, thank goodness it's more good than normal. I'm not really complaining though, the times when the fish noodles taste out of this world, make up for the days when the cook ain't that happy.
