Roti planta @ Pelita, PJ

Roti planta is basically your normal roti prata but cooked with margarine. Planta is the name of the common margarine brand used.

It is also usally cooked with sugar so it has that sweet taste.

One of the best in town is the one made at Pelita, SS2. It is nice, crunchy and just sweet!

Duck confit at Le Petite

The last time i was down at Singapore, me mate Yu Jin (and his missus) took me out for dinner. They took me to this place called La Petite Cuisine. French food!

I opted for the Duck Confit - after seeking approvals from Mr and Mrs Cheah. I like the Duck Confit pasta at Delicious (that's another post for another day!) so i decided to try the original Duck Confit!

It was good!



Besides the duck being very nice and tasty, the potato thingy that came as the side was pretty good too!

The address for the place is #01-05, Serene Centre, 10, Jalan Serene, Singapore 258748.

White Lady @ Taman Hui Sing, Kuching


The last time i was at Kuching, me mate, Ru, took me to an open air food court near to the Kuching International Airport and i finally tried it. To be precise, it was at the Hui Sing Hawker Centre, Lorong Taman Hui Sing 3.

It was actually there that she suggested i start this food blog.

It was also there that i had White Lady! According to the Wikitravel page on Kuching, the stall that serves it is 'Ah Meng's Stall'. Evaporated milk with syrup and fruit base. Very nice, very refreshing!

Salted fish fried rice @ Black Canyon Coffee



Well, i'll give them marks for presentation!!!

Also, dun be deceived by its looks - it is actually quite enough for me for lunch.

I actually liked it. The rice was nicely fried and there was a generous helping of salted fish in it - unlike other cheap salted fish rice, i could taste salted fish in almost every bite!

But if u're a meat eater like me, u might want to compliment this with something else.

Maggi Mee Goreng @ Lotus, DJ



Lotus is one of the most frequented supper venues among my church mates. And 9 out of 10 times when i eat there, i'll go for their maggi mee goreng, tak mahu pedas (fried Maggi Mee, not spicy).

It is arguably one of the best around. As you can see, it is quite substantial and loaded with lots of vege. My biggest criteria is the noodles itself. It is just nice for me. Not too soft (overcooked) nor too hard. Just nice! :-)

Coconut Ice Cream @ Bach Dang, HCMC

Wow! Has it been that long??? 4 months!!!!!

OK. I'm back. With some vengeance!



It was the last day at Ho Chi Minh City - and many things were left undone. But there was one sight that we just could not miss! So while the students did their last minute shopping, Carol and I went off searching for the famous Coconut Ice Cream!

It is at this place called Bach Dang. Where is it? Hhmmm.... if you go out of BenThanh Market and the huge roundabout is across the road, you just head towards yr left. Keep walking and you'll arrive there.

Sori but we were in such a rush that i cannot remember how long it took. Suffice to say, i've never seen Carol walked that fast before!!!!

So was it all worth it?

Here it is:-



It was topped with local fruits - watermelon, dragon fruit, dessicated cocunut, and some other fruit! Personally, i thought that the fruits did not add anything to it. But Carol thought otherwise.

What is more important was the ice cream itself. Below the fresh fruits.

And it was REALLY GOOD!!!!!



The ice cream was smoooooooth! Like Rob Thomas and Santana! It was of high quality! I just had Baskin Robbins last nite and was disappointed to find tiny pieces of ice in the ice cream. You will not find such things here.

The taste was good too! But then again, there is no reference point for comparisons since you seldom get cocunut flavoured ice cream. But it tasted good, it wasn't too sweet and the coconut taste was pretty authentic! How more authentic can it get when it was served in a coconut shell itself - after finishing the ice cream, you can still scrape the coconut flesh off the shell and enjoy it.

Excellent stuff! the weather there just complements it. It is so hot and humid and the coolness and refreshing taste of the ice cream just melts the heat away.

And what a better way to round it off than by having a cup of real Vietnamese drip coffee? I love the coffee there! :-)
