Tofufa (Beancurd Pudding)

Featuring some foods/drinks that I'll be buying again and will never get bored with...

First...the tofufa and soy milk from pasar malam...

RM3 per box of tofufa and RM3 for a small bottle (500ml) of soymilk. I usually request for the sugar syrup to be packed separately.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then, from the same pasar malam again, bought this pack of fried noodles (which comes with curry potatoes in cubes) RM4 and add-on taro with pork belly (RM4)....So, in total RM8 for this pack of satisfying dinner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

McD prosperity burger with curly fries and fizzy orange juice...no need intro...I'd probably have this a few times before they are sold out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Char kuey teow from Good Morning Kopitiam located at the parking lot next to the Pinnacle mall...

This CKT has no cockles, only fishcakes and 2 pieces of prawns. RM8 + add on fried egg (RM1.50)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chicken katsu curry rice which comes with miso soup and potato salad from Niko-niko Onigiri shop. RM19.50 nett (if not mistaken). There are also chunks of boneless chicken in the curry apart from carrot and potato cubes. The portion is huge, only eat this when you are near famine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lycee with watermelon drink from BingXue (RM6).

Quite refreshing. Can customise with less sugar and ice. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bak kut teh from the stall in Lucky Restaurant kopitiam. RM18 for BKT and RM1.50 for add-on rice.

Less organ parts, mostly pork belly and pork ribs which I like. The soup is not too salty nor 'kaw' (thick with herbs flavor).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nasi kunyit with rendang chicken from Kebun Kopi located in The Store building (RM14.50)

It comes with acar and fried tempe. The sambal and the rendang is not spicy at all. Taste like authentic nyonya-style rendang.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prawn omelette rice (RM18.90+) and wantons in soup (5 pieces for RM14.50+)

There is white rice beneath the prawn omelette. The omelette has around 10 pieces of fresh bouncy prawns.

Sambal is not included with the rice, but there's a jar of sambal on each table and it goes well with the omelette.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lastly, unrelated to food....just me being lazy in trying clothes...hahahaha. Tried the skirt without taking pants off😂

Charitree @ MBS

Taking a break from my usual foodie posts.....

and will be featuring some sceneries and stunning Christmas trees/lights in this post instead.

Was in SG earlier this month, so i took the opportunity to walk around Marina Bay Sands again...

[Below] Some of the iconic structures...

And the brightly lit office buildings...

Christmas trees line-up...the same old trees from last year....but with different sponsors.

There's another row of trees at the lower deck.

Here's an outstanding one from Kuok Group....they must have donated alot...

The main Christmas tree, this year it is red with 'SG60' text signifies the Singapore’s 60th year of independence.

Last year was pink.

Apple store...not far from those 'trees'.

Closed (past 10pm already).

I shall come earlier next time😂

On my way back to the hotel, passed by the office...

it was quiet...

I took the same picture of this signboard on last year....

[Below] Inside the The Shoppes (at Marina Bay Sands).....Went in for the cooling aircond....most shops already closed.

The list of sponsors/donors for the ChariTree this year.

Till then be merry & be jolly!

Merry Christmas!!!

Yong Tau Foo

Yong Tau Foo sold at 126 Mixed Rice shop. RM2.20 per piece.

Fish balls, fish cakes and chee cheong fun are available too.

I have tried the bitter gourd and brinjal. The stuffing is pork paste instead of fish paste.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dry curry noodle (hakka mee) at Yitcha Kaw Kaw. It has the same ingredients as the normal curry mee, minus the curry soup.

The gravy is thick curry type, and the noodles are coated with dark soy sauce.

Ingredients are deep fried crispy beancurd sheet, tofu puff, long beans, taugeh, cabbage, deep fried hakka pork and deep fried wanton.

Taste ok, I prefer the normal curry mee with soup for the same price.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Char Kuey Teow from Good Morning kopitiam (located at the parking lot ground nearby Pinnacle mall). Instead of kuey teow noodle I had rat tail noodle. Tastes similar to the usual CKT. By default, it is without cockles. Other ingredients are fishcakes and 2 pieces of prawns.

RM8 nett.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chives with pork dumplings from Fu Man Yuen Dumpling shop. The minimum order is 10 pieces per plate. They have cabbages with pork dumpling and several other combinations.

Can choose either steam or deep fried. I prefer steamed dumplings coz deep fried is usually too oily.

Coco Ichibanya, Taipei

Herbal tea egg bought from 7-11

Promotional price TWD10 each. Meanwhile in Family Mart it is TWD13 each.

Oden....I did not try.

Sweet potatoes.

'Breeze' shopping mall catering for premium shopping experience with luxury brands & dining.

[Below] Taipei arena (aka Taipei little big egg) is a multi-purpose stadium for major international sport events such as ice skating, ice hockey, gymnastics, basketball, tennis, badminton, table tennis, indoor soccer etc.

Passed by McD so I went in to look see the menu from the ordering kiosk.

Passed by MOS Burger too...

It has been some time since I last had MOS Burger...

After browsing a few restaurants and fast-food outlets, I settled with Coco Ichibanya.

Ordered thru QR code. Food took around 10 minutes to arrive. It was served fresh and piping hot.

Fish katsu with mushroom curry on rice. Quite nice. Probably the best fish katsu curry I ever had.

There's a jar of preserved mustard green (muy choy/mei chai) on every table. Nice to eat with white rice.

Clean and cosy interior.

Settled the bill by credit card. After conversion, the price is around MYR44 for this katsu curry rice.

Breakfast @ Greenworld JianPei Hotel

My room is at the corner end of the 6th floor. 

Right outside the hotel....you can see all sorts of signboards. Good that they posted 'reminder' signboard prioritizing the pedestrian first.

[Below] Surveillance camera at the back alley. I feel so safe in this country.

Scooters and motorbikes parked next to the hotel. 

Joda cafe, which is the hotel's cafeteria....serving breakfast to the tenants, but outsiders can also patronize this cafeteria by paying the full price for the items they ordered.

Cosy corner for a cuppa....

There are 6 choices in the menu, same items throughout my stay.

The below is smoked chicken wrap with potato wedges, boiled egg and salad.

They also have Taiwanese-style porridge, with 6 mini side dishes.

The juices/tea bar....

Fruit juice (rotate with different juices on daily basis), oolong tea and green tea.

I think this cafeteria is open for evening dine-in that serves wine too, hence the bottles on the rack.

My room is facing the elevated highway and some offices & residential buildings. The whole day looks cloudy like this since morning till evening.
