Wu Xia Bing

From the name of the stall, if you understand some chinese you can probably guess what it is selling. It is a ngo hiang stall selling about 15 varieties of ngo hiang including its own specially made prawn fritter. The prawn fritter is the highlight to me as it very fresh and nice. It is made as you order so you imagine the freshness. The one thing about ngo hiang stall is that the chilly sauce and sweet sauce that comes with it must be very good or else it is not shiok. I have not tried the sweet sauce but I like the chilly very much. By the way, they also sell beehoon which goes with the ngo hiang. The stall sell set with beehoon from $3.00 to $3.50.

AL.Hanifa Muslim Food

As I'm writing this article, I am eating the gado-gado from this stall for lunch. Yummy! Yummy! The sauce is really good and "peanuty". The stall also sells roti john with a very tasty red sauce, mee rebus (yet to try), mee siam (yet to try), mee soto (yet to try) and tau hoo goreng. So far the ones I have tried are very nice. As mentioned, I have yet to try the rest.

Don & Set Japanese Food

On workdays, whenever I feel like having Japanese food for lunch, I will head off to Golden Shoe Food Centre to fill my craving.


The queue everyday is very long, which is a reflection of the very good pricing and delicious food. The dish prices range from $3.50 to $7.50.


I have tried the following dishes : chicken don, Japanese pork cutlets curry set (which is my favourite), vegetable curry with udon, tempura set, tempura udon, terrayaki chicken set (the chicken are quite different from normal terrayaki chicken as the chicken are deep fried and coated with the stall's unique sauce), ugnagi set and vegetable curry udon. All the set meals come with rice, salad and miso soup. The miso soup is really delicious.

AHYAT Hunan Restaurant

On my maid's birthday we were wondering where we could celebrate with her. Out of the blue, my daughter suggests the eateries at Turf City. The last time we were there was 4 years ago.

When we reached there, I was very pleased to see a branch of AHYAT Hunan Restaurant there. My first lunch experience at AHYAT was when it first opened its first branch at Singapura Building. My experience then was pleasant. I still remember it served very good fried chicken with salt and pepper. So we decided to give it a try again.

The environment is very pleasant and the food were very good. We ordered fried asparagus and scallop with XO sauce which was very well done, fried chicken with salt and pepper which was very good as it was done just right with the meat very tender and skin very crispy, kangkong belanchan ( my daughter's favourite - she said it was very good), pan-fried beancurd & egg with spicy sauce which my maid loves, pan-fried dumpling vegetable which was delicious as well, and special fried rice wrapped in Lotus leaf which is okay (I think they served us 5 portions as there were 5 of us and it was huge.

We are relatively small eaters so there were a lot of leftovers which we takeaway. If I had known I would have ordered 2 portions which will be just right. As usual, we ordered desserts even though we are all very full. We ordered a potion of mango pudding and red bean. I thought the desserts were below average.

When the bill came, I found that they charged for the towel, pickle and - believe it or not - plain water as well ($1.00 per glass). The bill came up to $142.42 inclusive of a pot of homemade chrysanthemum tea, two Cokes and a Sprite. Next time I go I'll make sure I do not ask for any water.
