Would you eat this?

This is a regular ham and cheese sandwich topped with 11 sunny-side up egg yolks.

Looks insanely good. But I doubt that I can finish one of this sandwich myself. Found this website by accident so I thought of sharing this. You could submit your own pictures like certain visual food community. I actually find some of the pictures mouth watering. ;oP

Dinner at Al-Ameen Eating House (Bukit Timah)

Thank you for the treat Zac! This bee hoon soto is not too bad. The soup is spicy and the taste is just right for me. There is nothing much I can say except that I will order it again.

Ayam Penyet (Crushed/Hammered Chicken). This is something I will look forward to everytime I come back again. It is simply delicious. Tender chicken, crispy skin with nice chilli at the bottom. Yum.

These steamed cockles were sweet. Burp! Now I'm full.

Soba Lunch

Yep, I am back in action. Bringing my lunch to work. Thought I would show a couple of pictures. Some weeks back when there were those super hot days, I made some cold soba. These were good stuff.


Vietnamese Coffee

Had one of the coffee filer gadgets from Vietnam some time ago. Due to the fact that I had ran out of Nescafe, my mom opened a pack of ground coffee, Trung Ngyuen (something like that), a Vietnam home brand. I think this was like my 5th time brewing this so I thought of taking some photos to show. The fragrance of this Vietnam coffee is somehow a little different than the gourmet ones and kopitiam ones. I made mine strong with milk and sugar and so I enjoyed this quite a bit. Maybe I can use other types of ground coffee. This filter is not too bad. ;oP

Turkish Coffee

Crystal's Turkish Coffee to be exact. This cute Turkish coffee pot was a gift from her aunt and after a lovely lunch, we had coffee to complete this lazy, rainy afternoon.

My dear friend had not intended to pose in this picture but I was quick to snap everything that she was doing.

In case you were wondering, the white stuff on the plate are Turkish Delights. Pop one into your mouth, chew it, then sip into the coffee, then swallow. Not the most brilliant description but this will stop anyone from adding sugar to this mildly fragrant brew.

Not bad I would say, as this is the only way I would have my coffee straight. But i had it with sugar, not with the delights. Thank you Crys!

Pouring cup no.2

Still shot

Coffee Place

Any recommendations for nice cafes or coffee places apart from Starbucks? No Coffee Bean for me. I like my coffee strong and fragrant. With milk of course. It can be a fresh brew with milk (Canele) or it can be a latte with extra shot of espresso and it would be the best if the coffee is cheap and good. Any place?

Earl Grey Steak at Essential Brew

This steak tasted like a chicken thigh meat which was sinewy at parts. The Earl Grey Sauce did help a bit though I am not sure if I want to go back there to have this again. Maybe next time I could try Fosters.

Beef Laksa at AMK

Beef Laksa

Mixed Tendon/Tripe Beef Kway Tiao Soup

I had this for lunch today. So much for healthy eating huh. Lol. I enjoyed myself a lot! This beef laksa is one damn of a good thing. Pardon the swear but I think I like this more than the regular laksa now.

They have the tastiest beef balls around and I actually had another beef ball soup after these 2 bowls of heaven. The tendons, tripes and beef are tender and packs the beefy-ness that I was looking for in a beef noodle. The laksa gravy was not as viscous but it didn't matter because I could drink it up as a soup.

I would travel to this place, no matter how far and sweaty the journey is. This place closes on Tuesdays and opens from 7.30am - 3pm only.
