My Favourite Place for Kambing Soup, Sop Tulang and Mee Goreng in Singapore

 Yes, I know there are many who will disagree with me when it comes to Kambing Soup, Sop Tulang and Mee Goreng. Each category will have its own fans from different outlets ranging for Adam Road Hawker Centre and Boon Keng Hawker Centre (Kambing Soup) to Beach Road Hawker Centre (Sop tulang)

As you know, taste is subjective. For me, this stall is packed with the right recipes. Even their staff are friendly and that is another matter that, to me, is attractive to me.

If you re wondering where to get these 3 sinful dishes, it's from Iqbal Soup Kambing located at Geylang Serai Market, stall # 02-128.

The first dish I've tried from this stall is their Kambing Soup. It's not too strong on spice and rich. The mutton pieces is quite generous and bigger than those served by most stalls. 

The second dish I've tried was their Bihun Goreng(Fried Bee Hoon). It's spicy and filled with pieces of mutton and I'm not talking minced meat. 

This is the Mee Kuah that I tried earlier this year...

The mee kuah was spicy, at it should be, and there's pieces of fatty mutton meat in there that's gonna fill you up for quite a while.

Recently, I bought their mee goreng and kuay teow goreng to go.

Mee Goreng

Kuay Teow Goreng

As I was buying for 2 adults and 3 kids, I requested for extra meat for an additional $1 each. Just take a look at the meat. 

It's satisfying and filling, more than enough for the 5 of us. 

Will I buy from them again?

Yes, for sure. I do apologize as I did not take pictures of the Kambing Soup and Sop Tulang. Will add them as soon as I can.

Where is this stall located?

It is located at 1 Geylang Serai, #02-128, Singapore 402001. Basically level 2 of Geylang Serai Market.

It is open from 9am to 9pm daily.

Delicious and Cheapest Epok-Epok (Curry Puff) You Can Ever Find

What was your worse experience when it comes to buying epok-epok or curry puff?

I remembered my disappointment when it comes to buying sardine epok-epok. They have more onions and air than sardines. So that's kind of putting me off and I will avoid buying epok-epok unless it was recommended.

My wife bought from this stall about 2 months ago. She bought sardines and normal epok-epok. It was delicious, I tell you.

A month later, I went back to the same place to buy from this stall. This stall is named Yang's Epok-Epok, stall no 4, located at Bedok Corner.

Here's a breakdown of my experience..


1. There was a long queue.

2. In front of the stall, I saw one makcik (Malay auntie) diligently flattening a dough on her palm and placing diced curry potato in it. Then she skillfully formed the twirls at the end of that 'raw' epok-epok. This means it's freshly made.

3. Then I saw another lady scooping fried epok-epok from the wok and placed in onto a strainer. This is a good sign... meaning it's freshly cooked.

4. Then I saw an A4-sized poster with a clock on it, indicating when it would be ready. It also indicates that they do NOT take reservations. This means it's a hot seller and if you're unlucky, you will have to wait for the next batch.

Can you guess how much is an epok-epok? It's 50 cents ($0.50) each and customers are buying in 5s and 10s!

I bought 10 potato and 10 sardine epok-epok, brought it home(it was during the Covid-19 Circuit Breaker so no eating out).

Just look at it..

I do apologize to all readers because I really forgot to take the 'inside' photo. It all happened so quickly. I takes longer to queue than to finish this.

And it was worth it!

It's freshly made!
It's freshly fried!
It's cheap and most importantly,
It's delicious!

Will I return to buy again?
For sure. I do wish they could take orders though..

Just head down to Bedok Corner Food located at
Bedok Corner Hawker Centre Stall #4, 1 Bedok Road, Singapore 469572.

Opening Hours
12pm to 7pm daily, closed on Mondays.

UPDATE

It's August 2020 and I managed to get my hands on these epok-epok again. This time, I remembered to take more pictures. 

Sardine Epok-Epok

Potato Epok-Epok

No changes to its opening hours. The queues are just as long.

Delicious Homemade Japanese Food From The East

I love Japanese food. I love homemade food too. So when I come across a brand that combines the two things I love, it is like a wish come true. lolz.

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and my wife told me collect some japanese food that she ordered. I said, cool. Looks like we're going japan for the night.

My wife has a friend who gave a thumbs up on this homemade japanese food by the name of Inariku. Inari is a Japanese word that is used to describe 'carrying rice' and you can see this a lot on a typical japanese menu.

Ku is short form of the Malay word 'aku'. So Inariku literally means 'my inari' Nice huh?

A Decent Yet Fulfilling Meal At The Chicken Rice Shop

In this post, I would like to share my makanperience at one of the most available restaurant in Singapore, The Chicken Rice Shop.

The first time I came across The Chicken Rice Shop was in Malaysia. My first time entering The Chicken Rice Shop in Singapore was at Vivocity more than 5 years ago. For the list of outlets, you can find it at the end of this post.

I went to the outlet at Causeway Point. There weren't that many people there so it was quite a good place for a family with 2 young girls and a pram.

The GreaThai Restaurant - The Thai Styled Steamed Fish Specialist

These days, we have so many restaurants selling Thai food. One of the common dishes of a thai cuisine is non-other than Tom Yum. I have eaten tom yum on many occassions but it was only recently I learnt that there are two types of tom yum...

I went to the GreaThai restaurant for lunch and I realised that there are two types of tom yum soup; red and white. I asked the waitress and according to the waitress, the red variety contains coconut milk and both are just as spicy.

Kookie Krumbz - Freshly Baked Cookies That Is Simply Worth The Wait!!

I love cookies, especially if it fresh from the oven. I love the sweet aroma that is lingering in the air once that oven is opened. It really teases the tastebuds. One of the common place we get cookies from is Famous Amos. Recently, I have found another cookie bakery that, to me, serves better cookies.

Sumptuous And Super Filling Nasi Ambeng at Ambeng Cafe by Ummi Abdullah

It was a very humid Tuesday afternoon, my wife and I had a meeting with one of the renovation contractors for our new home. It was a long meeting and it ended about after 2pm. By that time, I was famished.

Since my wife said she wanted to drop by East Village to buy her favourite red velvet cookies, I thought it would be a great idea to drop by the famous Ambeng Cafe. 

Ambeng Cafe is well known for sumptuous Malay food and of course, its long queues. Every single time I visited East Village, I would see a long winding queue at the entrance of this eatery.

Assam Pedas Melaka in Singapore

After collecting the cakes from Sucre Delices, I received a text from my wife, informing me to get lunch. I drove over to Changi Village as it has been many years since I've been there and getting some of their well-known nasi lemak for lunch is definitely not a bad idea.

Unfortunately, parking was tough. I could not get parking at all and there were lines of cars anxiously waiting to pounce on any available space. I drove over the Pasir Ris Downtown East and I headed over to the food court.

The food court is known as Asli Village. 'Asli' means natural or original. Asli Village has a large number of stalls with local cuisines, western food, east indian food and of course, Satay.

One particular stall attracted my attention;

Melaka is a well known province in Malaysia, full of culture and history, birthplace of some of the region's finest warriors and silat practitioners. One of the dishes I will always have when I go to Melaka is Asam Pedas.

WhatSub 'Slurp' Sandwiches

Ever since the article on 'plastic' made rice appeared on my facebook home page, I seemed to lost the appetite for rice. Maybe its temporary, maybe its permanent, I do not know. But I think the human race really has taken innovation too far. Just a few years ago, I saw a picture of a sea turtle chewing a piece of 'seaweed' which in fact was a plastic bag. And if no authority steps in, we will be no different from that sea turtle soon enough.

So last weekend, I so wanted to avoid eating rice. My wife wanted to try a new 'subway' style sandwich shop in the eastern part of Singapore. So off we go.

It was about 4pm on a hot Sunday afternoon. Next to the Salty Peanut Gelato outlet, stands a packed sandwich shop called WhatSub Sandwich Cafe.

I think we all love sandwiches. Subway seems like a good choice but there is one problem, it is not Halal. A few local Muslim entrepreneurs tried to bring a Halal version to cater for the muslim community. Unfortunately, these outlets had to shut down. Many years later, at a place called East Village, WhatSub Sandwich Cafe was founded.

Flavoured Kek Lapis(Layered Cake) From Sucre Delices

Over the weekend, I had to be in the east area of Singapore for some errands. One of the errands was to collect 4 kek lapis from a home in Pasir Ris Street 11. My wife and I are ardent supporters of home-based and home-made goodies.

With Ramadhan and Hari Raya around the corner, it is a good time to test some of these home-made goodies and make an order for the ones we liked.

About a week ago, I transferred a deposit of about $10 to them and they dropped a message to my wife, informing us that our orders were ready.

It was a fast and easy pick up. Collected 4 small boxes of kek lapis, paid the balance $15 to the resident and left. I can't help but wondered what were the flavours. So I decided to take a quick peek.

This is how each box is packed. It's a small box with nice labels on it and each box is releasing its unique aroma.

Sweet Deserts at Salty Peanut Gelato Cafe

It was hot and humid afternoon and my wife wanted to eat ice-cream. I thought "let's go and buy a tub of Magnolia's ice-cream, some wafers and chocolate fudge". What can I say, Sometimes, I can be a terribly simple person.

She suggested Salty Peanut Gelato Cafe.

I have never heard of Salty Peanut Gelato Cafe and from my own knowledge, the only Gelato-like cafe that is halal is Gelare Cafe.
