Old Bibik's Nasi Rendang @ Lavendar Food Square

IMG_6130

If you visit Lavendar Food Square, do not be surprised when you see 2 Chinese men selling nasi redang at Old Bibik's Nasi Rendang stall. Both Adrian and Ah Wee quitted their corporate jobs and venture into F&B without any kitchen experience.

Duplicating Adrian's grandma secret rendang recipe that is handed down from one generation to another, Old Bibik's rendang is prepared from scratch daily at the stall with the freshest ingredients.

Chicken Rendang Set 4.2/5

The Chicken Rendang Set ($4) came with papadums, egg, cucumber slices and rice. Optional side dish such as Nonya style Stir Fried Long Beans can be added at a nominal price. The chicken was well marinated and fork tender.

Beef Rendang Set 4.2/5

The Beef Rendang Set ($5) is a dollar more and came with the same set items. The beef redang was slowed cooked to tender soft. Worth mentioning are the spices used at the stall. They were freshly and manually blended daily.

Eminent Frog Porridge (Lavender) 明辉活田鸡粥 @ Lavendar Food Square

IMG_6149

What do Singaporean eat for supper? Like most Asian we eat almost everything that has legs. One supper dish I enjoy is the frog porridge and it can be prepared in a few styles. A place I frequent for frog porridge is Eminent Frog Porridge (明辉活田鸡粥) at Lavendar Food Square.

Frog Leg with Spring Onion (姜葱田鸡) 4.5/5

The Frog Leg with Spring Onion (姜葱田鸡) is my favourite among all the different cooking styles of the frog porridge. It came with a thick sweet and spicy sauce that complements the Cantonese style porridge very well. In face I can just have the porridge with the sauce alone.

Frog Leg Soup with Chicken Essence (鸡精田鸡) 3.5/5

I thought the Frog Leg Soup with Chicken Essence (鸡精田鸡) additional $5 was something from the norm so I ordered it. It tasted like herbal soup but not overpowering. A good to have soup to keep the body warm or for energy boost. The cooking style also allowed me to taste the original sweetness and tenderness of the frog meat.

Both the porridge and frog are served separately in claypot at Eminent Frog Porridge. 1 frog is $8 while 3 frog is $17 (buy 2 get 1 free). The porridge itself costs $3.
