Golden Pillow 933

I love bread and dipping soft fluffy bread to eat with curry is one of the most enjoyable thing to do!

Golden Pillow Curry Chicken Bun ($14.80)

Revealing the..

Bomb!

I love how the bread always arrive in the box looking so nicely baked and of course soft and fragrant! The bun is big which is perfect for sharing between 3 - 4 people.

Oh yum.

I can never have enough of the curry chicken hehe! Unlike the thick and coconut rich versions, theirs is more watery and not too spicy! The chicken were also deliciously tender and smooth. However, there were only a few potatoes.

Shiok! =D

Overall, their Golden Pillow is of great value to share and enjoy with friends or family! What better way to have a prosperous Chinese New Year than with golden glimmering red and orange?

Outram Park Ya Hua Rou Gu Cha

There is much hype built around this Bak Kut Teh outlet so Makan Boy and I ventured down to this pretty ulu place and gosh.. it was so packed and busy even after dinner hours when we reached at about 9+!

Really good business

Almost all are foreign workers

Bowls stacked till like that.. hygienic mah..?

The moment you are seated, the staff immediately serves you the fried dough stick and utensils. Quick service I must say.

Dough stick ($2)

However, the dough stick was soggy and cold. Not nice leh.

Only if you've ordered tea

The feast starts!

Waiting time was really short since most of these items were cooked beforehand!

Mee Sua ($1.50)

Their mee sua wasn't exceptionally tasty but at least it was a refreshing choice to eat with bak kut teh. Would have loved the mee sua more if it was stickier because their version tasted just like normal thin beehoon boiled with soup.


Braised Pig Trotter ($6)

Their braised pig trotters are actually pretty nice but we ticked the fat option therefore the trotters came with almost ONLY fats which I didn't enjoy. LOL. Both of us were thinking the lean option would have definitely been a better choice.

Braised Pig Intestine ($6)

I really enjoyed the pig intestines! Soft and very well braised but slightly overpriced.

Salted Vegetable ($2)

Nothing spectacular about their salted vegetable but I like saltish food hehe..

Spare ribs soup ($7)

Porb Ribs Soup ($6)

At one glance, we immediately felt overcharged for such little spare ribs. Between the spare ribs and pork ribs, I could not taste any difference in terms of the meat texture thus pork ribs would be of more value since there's more flesh. Their soup is also very peppery but it gets quite shiok as you down one bowl after another.

Lotsa pepper in the soup's residue but very addictive for me!

Non stop refills!

Overall, Ya Hua is slightly overpriced as the quantity of pork/spare ribs wasn't fantastic. However, they have really good service here as the staff are attentive to make sure the delicious peppery soup is refilled constantly (which kinda makes up for the pricey items)!

Personally, Bak Kut Teh is best eaten when it's a rainy cold day. =D

51 Soya Bean

Oh yes. With the famous beancurd competition going on, Old Airport Food Centre is now a hot spot for many fans of beancurd pudding.

Makan Boy and I went on this food trip at Old Airport Road hoping to try the famous Lao Ban Soya Beancurd as well but they were not ready yet and having got plans in the evening, we did not wait for theirs and went instead to 51 Soya Bean.

51 Soya Bean

Durian?? Erm..

Really smooth and soft

We bought the original and almond flavour but the almond flavour was not strong enough. The beancurd pudding was really smooth, soft and it melts in your mouth like instantly. Didn't taste like the usual beancurd at all so I found it abit funny. I still prefer normal beancurd than eating this new style of beancurd. Afterall, if I truly wanted to eat pudding, it would not be soya bean flavour.

!!

Highlight of this food trip: Bean Flower Water.

LOL.

Albert Street Prawn Noodle

Being adventurous, during this food trip at Old Airport Road food centre, we were determined to try as many dishes as possible and Albert Street Prawn Noodle is one of it!

Albert Street Prawn Noodle

Young boss

Prawns so big and thick!

Big Prawn Noodle ($5)

Was very impressed with the big and fresh prawns in the noodles! =D The stock was very flavourful and thick but after half a bowl, it gets too saltish and overwhelming for me to continue sipping. They gave quite a good amount of noodles too but I was thinking perhaps beehoon would have went better with their rich and thick soup.

A good choice for lunch or dinner in Old Airport Road but IMHO, for the most refreshing prawn soup, do try Zion's Prawn Noodle!

Lucky Char Kuey Tiao

Just opposite Lao Fu Zi, Lucky Char Kuey Tiao has a much quieter business with only the boss and ladyboss running the stall. With such a big signboard and Char Kuey Tiao - which is spelt in a totally different way than the others, Makan boy and I were itching to know how do Lucky CKT fare as compared from the plate of CKT we just had from Lao Fu Zi.

Took us a while before we decided and when Makan Boy ordered, the ladyboss even told him no harm trying to taste the difference. (Must have been really obvious that we were both discussing whether to use up our tummy space or not.. Tsk..)


One woman show yo

Char Kuey Tiao ($3)

At the first glance it was not hard to notice that the main difference in Lucky's version is the wetness of the noodle. The ingredients added are whatever a CKT should have as well. I guess the two stalls are just but competing in terms of the wetness and since I like sweeter and smoother kway teow, I will rather patronize Lucky Char Kuey Tiao the next time I'm craving for CKT at Old Airport.
