Thosai at Sri Vijaya: I’m tempted to go Veg
This restaurant is closed! What I missed most while I was living overseas was a hot cup of Teh Tarik and Roti Prata for breakfast. Oh, you can try to make Teh Tarik yourself at home of course, but it’s not going to be the same. Let me explain why. First, you have to boil […]
You Char Kway The traditional way: Margaret Dr FC Supplemental
Who doesn’t like the versatile You Char Kway (YCK)? You can eat it plain, dunk it in coffee, cut it up and put it in Porridge and Tau Suan, stuff it with Sotong (squid) paste and refry it, toast it and add it to rojak. Yet, YCK making is a dying art. In the past […]
Iggy’s: You want the Best? I give you the Best!
Dedicated to ieatMrs. My best friend for 20 years Green Pea Soup Dining in a restaurant like Iggy’s is something you wait for an occasion to do. Spending $150+++ per head for a meal is not something I do every day (month/year) especially when that money has to come out from my own pocket! Now, […]
Sha Tin Kitchen – Makan Session X10/2006
This is for all the makankakis who did not make it to the 10th makan session of the year! Don’t regret, just sign up for the next one! When you walk into a place like the Sha Tin Kitchen, one’s expection automatically gets bumped up a few notches by the all the newspaper clippings of […]
Granny Chin Chow – Golden Mile FC: Part 8 of 8
Just when I thought I was done for the day, (I mean, I had a 7 course lunch that afternoon, albeit shared among 4), I saw this store with the Makansutra label on it with 3 bowls and chopsticks. For those who don’t know, this is their “die-die-must-try” rating. Well, what to do? Die die […]
Ah Balling Peanut Soup – Golden Mile FC: Part 7 of 8
Make sure you leave some room in your tummy after all that feasting cos if you like Ah Balling, this is not to be missed. Incidentally, you know what Ah Bor Ling means right? Ah Bor is Momma Duck and Ling is the egg that is still within the duck without the shell. So Ah […]
91 Fried Kway Teow – Golden Mile FC: Part 6 of 8
This stall is famous for putting a mound of Chye Sim (Greens) on top of their Char Kway Teow. A healthy Char Kway Teow? Sounds like another incontrovertible oxymoron. When we got there the signboard proudly declares its allegience to the pig: “No Pork, No Lard”! Wow, no lard? How can this Char Kway Teow […]
Special Yong Tau Foo – Golden Mile FC: Part 5 of 8
Accompanied by: ieatMaMa, iwatch_ueat, genetronic Got there at almost 3pm and they have sold out most of their items. Aiya! Only able to taste the soup, a few fish balls and Tau Kee (Crispy Bean Sheets). I am not a big Yong Tau Foo man, so I’ve got to rely on ieatMaMa who loves the […]
Haji Kadir Sup Tulang: Golden Mile FC Part 4 of 8, The Anthony Bourdain Trail 2 of 8
How not to try something that is both a Makansutra Legend as well as a place where the Bourdain was taken to when he was in Singapore? It’s my first time trying Sup Tulang (Mutton Bone Marrow Soup). Oh, I have heard of it before, but somehow the thought of sucking out bone marrow did […]
Bugis Beef Kway Teow – Golden Mile FC: Part 3 of 8
To me Beef Kway Teow has always been one of those dishes that I ate occasionally but never really craved for…. until now. This one is so good that I cannot stop thinking about it after I got home. For your info, the Grand MakanGuru comes to Golden Mile FC specially to eat at this […]
Chung Cheng Chilli Mee – 3 Gen Sarawak Receipe: Golden Mile FC Part 2 of 8
With ieatMaMa, iwatch_ueat, genetronic Every heard of chilli mee? Well, I haven’t until now. Not being a big chilli enthusiast, I was reluctant to try at first but the people in the know keep telling me this is really good. There is an interesting history behind Chong Cheng Chilli Mee. If the name reminds you […]
Hainanese Curry Noodles – Golden Mile FC Part 1 of 8
With: ieatMaMa (Mom) & iwatch_ueat Golden Mile Food Centre is an amazing Foodie’s Paradise! I had initially set out to try 5 makan places but ended up with 8. This time however, I have a bit of help from my fellow conspirators, so I did not end up having to take Eno when I got […]
