Around the world #1: Katong, Singapore

Hey foodies ,

I've just arrived in Singapore for a really short trip and decided to blog on the go. During the last trip to Singapore around 3-4 years ago I missed out on a local favourite. It is non other than the famed Katong Laksa , in the heart of Katong itself. About 100-200 meters away from Odeon Katong is where this gem is located.

4 Singaporean Dollars which is so worth it


Juicy prawns and fat rice vermicelli noodles

I cannot really rate the Katong Laksa because this is the only one i've eaten thus far but it's really yummy. Delicious curry base with the torch ginger flower underlying tone leaves you craving for more. Try it with the spicy sambal for extra kick. 

Visit Them at:
328 Katong Laksa ,51 East Coast Road

To cool off after a tiring walk round the Katong area , I got some bubble tea from ShareTea from Parkway Parade shopping centre

$2.90 Medium Pearl Milk Tea. Not too great to shout about but good mini pearls nonetheless

$3.50 Medium Taro Milk Tea with White Pearls. Love the drink not the pearls. Taste like melted yam potong ice cream. Yummy for your tummy!

More to come soon foodies! Stay tuned

Quick Bites #11 : Rumah Hijau

A place i frequent a lot for indoor and air-conditioned settting for Indonesian/Malay/Mamak food. And yes this place is absolutely Halal. Rumah Hijau is known for their good ayam penyet, varieties of rotis and other malay fares. One can also get a good slice of cake or their selections of "kuihs" under the cloches at their dessert table.   


Indian Rojak. 
Rating : 8/10
Laden with satay sauce, jicama, tofu, fritters, eggs and fried chicken it's a great plate to share. My personal favorite for Indian Rojak is at King's Curry but Rumah Hijau's ain't too bad for its price. 

Rating: 9/10
The famed Ayam Penyet which is a spiced fried chicken served with rice and selection of local salads. I particularly love the crispy spicy bits on top of the chicken. Crunchy and yummy! If you're not a fan of veggies or rice, you can get the chicken just for Rm 5.00

I would go to Rumah Hijau if you're looking to indulge in fried food, sweet drinks and sink your teeth into sinful desserts. Mark my words, you'll find their menu lacking in gym-friendly meals as they are all highly calorific. Peak hours during Lunch and Dinner may cause a slower service than normal as well.
