    I ordered 5 Chestnut with Mushroom Ba Zhang(1 to eat, the rest to take home) and waited for about an hour for them to come out piping hot from the steamer. I wasn't the only one. There was a mini stampede to be the first in line when the owner started removing the cooked Ba Zhangs from the steamer. Ok I'm exaggerating, but I kid you not when I say that the rate at which the Ba Zhangs fly off the shelves is just mad. Wait, they don't even make it to the shelves. So what's so good about it? First of all, its not very oily, which appeals to your health conscious side. Second, it only uses lean meat, not fatty meat which is prevalent in other Bak Zhangs. Third, it is very fragrant and the mushrooms within are big and crunchy. Fourth, the chestnuts are sizable and gives the whole Ba Zhang a slightly sweet taste. Kindly note that the above only applies to the Chestnut with Mushroom Ba Zhang that I ordered. Here's the only gripe. The relatively steep price. $2.30 per Ba Zhang is plain expensive, as compared to the market price of $1.50. However it more than makes up with its quality. This is undisputedly one of the best Ba Zhangs I have ever tried. On a side note, you can call up to reserve the Ba Zhangs, but please call early.

      Joined the snaking queues at Hong Lim for a taste of one of the best crayfish hor fun in Singapore. The countless awards that are plastered all over the stall are a testament to that.

      $5 gets you a decent size plate of hor fun with 2 halves of crayfish and another 2 halves of a relatively big prawn. The hor fun was so silky and smooth that it slithered down my throat with much ease. The prawns and crayfish, though fresh, were not as sweet as I would have liked them to be. But then again, its $5 we are talking about and its more than worth it. The gravy only had a tinge of the 5 spices taste, which was a nice change from the heavily infused ones that I've tried before. If you intend to go on a weekday, my advice would be to go before 12pm, before the lunch crowd comes in.

      My stomach was grumbling after a rigorous badminton session so I decided to check out the famed Boon Lay Power Nasi Lemak at Boon Lay Place Food Village. It was close to midnight when my gf and I got there and my god, the queue stretch all the way to the main road! Fortunately, the queue moved at a relatively brisk pace and I got my order after about 30mins of waiting.

      My order of a piece of Chicken Breast, Ikan Bilis, Fried Egg and Fish Fillet cost a whopping $4.50! That's a tad too expensive. Honestly, I couldn't see what the fuss was all about. Everything was just average tasting, except for the chicken, which was well seasoned before frying. The rice itself had a strong Coconut taste, but was light on the oil. Not bad, but nothing fanciful. It was probably the chilli then, which was sweet and not too spicy. But then again, I've tasted better chilli although I'm not a great fan of the spice. The only reason I can come up with is the freshness of the food. Everything is freshly cooked and comes piping hot because the turnover rate is high. Add on the fact that there is hardly any supper places in Boon Lay and you get a sure recipe for success!

        Ate at Sinar Pagi Nasi Padang along Circular Road with my colleagues for lunch. Have always meant to try it partly due to the long queues that form during lunch as well as the multiple awards plastered to the walls of the shop.

        My order of a chicken wing, vegetables and a Tauhu Telor cost a ridiculous $8.50! $5 for the rice and $3.50 for the Tauhu Telor. Geez, what is this world coming to? Having said that, the Nasi Padang was actually not too bad, with the chicken being nicely deep fried with lots of deep fried flour bits, which added taste to the otherwise bland dish. The Tauhu Telor tasted better than the ones you get at food courts, but still came across as rather average. The stall helpers are friendly though, but thats not good reason enough for me to return. Ever.

          Many people have different opinions on what a good Nasi Lemak should entail. Some say the food should be fresh, the rice should be nice, chilli should be good and so on. Personally, the single most important aspect in determining how good a Nasi Lemak is, is through the rice. Chilli and food are but mere considerations. Think about it, if you want good chilli, then you might as well eat mixed vegetable rice with a good chilli. One thing that differentiates Nasi Lemak from mixed vegetable rice is the rice itself. Now I know you are going to say that its weird to have chilli with mixed vegetable rice, but its just a matter of getting used to it. Case in point, the Canadians value chicken breast more than the thigh, but it is the opposite here in Singapore. Ok I know I'm ranting so let me just focus back on the food.

          The name, Yi Liu Xiang might seem rather boastful but this stall has the right to be. Located on the 2nd floor of the Hainanese Village in Hougang, queues are an everyday affair at this small Nasi Lemak stall. The rice is very fragrant due to the loads of Coconut oil that goes in (I'm guessing)and not to mention tasty. It has this light and slightly sweet taste that doesn't make you feel like throwing up even if you overeat. The turnover rate is high so you can be sure that the ingredients are fresh as well. I personally like the thinly fried eggs which are tasty and go very well with the rice and anchovies. Try this stall out to believe!
