Yong Tau Foo, Prata and Durain





The yong tau foo from Lim's is good and cheap. I had it for my lunch. 6 pieces plus a choice of noodles, beehoon or rice is at $4. You can either have it "dry" or with soup. I opted for "dry" so I can add the chili and red sweet sauce freely.
Last night, besides porridge I also had the roti prata (in Malaysia it is known as roti canai). 2 pieces (kosong) without egg is $2.
After dinner, I bought durian at $10 for 4 packets. The texture and quality is average but then one can't expect it to be excellent for $10. A reasonably good durian may cost about $18 for 3 boxes.

For breakfast it was kopi O and fruits at home. Lunch was bar-cho-mee + hot pot and prata kosong (w/o egg). Dinner was Toast Box kopi O and a piece of seaweed floss bun.
In front of our flat, is a big celebration of a Chinese temple and it will go on for about a month. The PM of Singapore will be there to join in the festivities as this is his constituency.

Rude staff pissed me off/ fruits, dessert and chicken rice

Went to a shop called Poh Seng that sells water heater at 153, Jalan Besar. A plump lady of 50+ years old reluctantly attended to us. From the very start she was unhappy serving us. When we asked a few questions about the water heater, she pulled a long face and answered rudely. I was so pissed off with her attitude that I left the place without buying anything.




Since it was raining, we proceeded to a stall that sells Indian food near Rowel Road off Jalan Besar. We ordered the roti prata and teh halia. After that we went to a coffee shop that sell the crispy handmade noodles. Curious, I ordered the noodles (3rd picture from top) and was disappointed with the taste ($5.20).
Many hawkers these days are amateurish and can't even cooked decent food. Some even employ China people to cook and sell local fares. In Penang, the government does not allow foreigners to cook and sell the local dishes.


Fruits,desserts and chicken rice@ Chong Pang








We were at Chong Pang around 5pm to buy some fruits but found ourselves eating desserts and Hainanese Chicken rice. We ordered the chicken rice because we were curious. The queue was rather long at 5pm+  and so I queue up to get a plate of chicken breast meat with rice. We think many patronised this stall because the food is cheap and good. The chicken rice I ordered was $2.50 which is one of the cheapest in Singapore. It was tasty, value for money and the staff was nice and polite.
