Food Galour in First Week of Aug!

Siong got his first job! It's nothing related to his field of work and today was already the second day of work ( I was lazy to blog). The working hours aint really ideal for our on-going studies on Patou-logy, but most importantly is that he likes his job and there is GOOD FOOD around his work area!

We did a mini celebration on the finding of a new job after his second interview(although it wasn't confirmed if he would get the job yet at that point of time =P) and had lunch at a restuarant below his workplace.

It's called Hong Kong Street Family Restuarant, damn good Zhi Char at competitive price in a air-conditioned environment. Sounds too good to be true yea? The prices are like any other Zhi Char you find in Singapore Coffee Shops, just that this is clean and comfortable with food gaurenteed to make your tummy happy and your weighing machine smoke. They serve very quickly too.

And of course I ordered my top fav when it comes to Zhi Char - Hotplate Tofu! Served piping hot with generous amount of miced meat and super fresh prawns ( pictures don't lie). We also ordered Beef Hor Fun, another must have dish in the Zhi Char industry. Again the portion was generous and they gave as much beef as the noodle! The beef was tasty and done very well, not like those over cooked tough beef we sometimes get elsewhere. It was more than enough for two people and we were glad we din order more! Our tummies were rounded!

There was some work needed to be done by the week and we checkedin at Coffee Nations again. Coffee Nations recently changed their menus. Although I welcome the change, I still prefer the old menu and set lunch. But oh well, I'll be waiting for better recipes to come up next time!

We had Carbonara, Chicken Karagage, Europe Platter and Coffee with some orange flavouring (Did not get the name though). the Chicken and the Coffee was new and it was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Nothing much interesting to the taste though. The coffee was too sweet for me so Siong had it instead and I ordered my usual fav, Amerrato Latte. Perhaps it was because of the orange they had in the coffee, it tastes unique (more towards the conotation of weird) but it's a chief reccommendation so if you feel daring you can try it. =P
