MR-Fish-Chinatown-Singapore

Lunch today at Singapore's Chinatown Complex hawker centre. For one meal together, we ordered our food from 3 different stalls - MR FISH, 80 Huat Huat and Shi Xiang Satay, getting the best dishes from each. That's the thing about eating at Singapore hawker centres - you can order food from different stalls to eat together and no one bats an eyelid.

Teo-Heng-Teochew-Porridge-Hong-Lim-Food-Centre

This was the 3rd meal of our makan outing because the first 2, though nice didn't quite inspire enough. I suggested walking over to Hong Lim Food Centre for the famous Teo Heng Teochew porridge because it's a light meal that can fit into our precious last remaining stomach space. We were glad we did as we were all mind blown by the boiled rabbit fish 白肚鱼 🐟 Teo Heng is always a safe bet but this pak tor herr fish was beyond my expectation.

Swatow townsfolk loved Tan Chee Kok's hearty, comforting savoury beefy slightly herbal soup with flat rice noodles and chunks of beef, tripe and tendons.

Silesian-Dumplings-Abacus-Seeds

During my trip to Poland in Dec 2019, I tasted Silesian dumplings for the first time. I was struck by how Silesian dumplings and Hakka abacas seeds resembled each other. When I returned home to Singapore, I decided to make Silesian dumplings with a local twist.

Goose-Chef-Piotr-Lenart-Gozdawa-Palace-Poland

The goose showcase by chef Piotr Lenart at Gozdawa Palace (at Łochocin) was one of the memorable highlights of my trip to Poland in Dec 2019. A deprived goose lover from Singapore where no goose is sold, I had been looking forward to this goose festa since I saw it in the trip itinerary.
