Mei Zhen Hakka Delicacies (美珍客家美食) @ Shunfu Mart

I remembered the first time I have Suan Pan Zi (算盘子, Abacus Beads) was during one of my Chinese New Year visit prepared by my friend's parent. Since then I have not been able to find the dish in eateries around Singapore. When I read about this Hakka stall at Shunfu Mart that sells traditional Hakka food, I was excited and made my way down to the food centre one morning.

A queue was formed at the stall when I reached the food centre. The stall sells a variety of Hakka snacks and food but I only had the Suan Pan Zi (算盘子, Abacus Beads). It made my day though as I finally get to satisfy my craving.

Xiao Xuan Feng (小旋风) @ Tiong Bahru Plaza

I was at Tiong Bahru Plaza for a movie and decided to try Xiao Xuan Feng. Xiao Xuan Feng has 2 outlets. One at Tiong Bahru Plaza while the other at Hougang Mall. Their menu is quite extensive ranging from hot cooked food, dim sum and noodles. I tried their La Mian since it was made freshly at the spot.

The Stewed Beef La Mian had a generous serving of beef chunks and beef balls. The soup was tasty and the noodles had the smooth, silky and springy texture.

Stewed Beef La Mian 4/5

The Fried Ribs La Mian was bland but the noodles itself was good. The fried ribs were not crispy at all and oily.

Fried Ribs La Mian 3/5

The Shanghai Pork Dumplings were average. I felt that skin was too thick.

Shanghai Pork Dumplings 3.5/5
