RWS Invites Durian Fest 2013

The Eat All You Can Durian Buffet is back at Resort World Sentosa (RWS) for the 2nd year only for 2 nights on 23 and 24 August 2013. There will be 2 sessions each night, 4 sessions in total over 2 the nights. This year RWS Invites Durian Fest 2013 will be bigger and better where durian lovers can feast in the world's biggest premium durian buffet.

The Coliseum at Hard Rock Hotel in Singapore is the venue of the RWS Invites Durian Fest 2013 whereby it will be transformed into the largest display of the durians in a nostalgic hawker setting. Do look out for probably the world largest and highest stack of durian display.

While we were given a glimpse of what will be unfolded during the 2 nights of durian feast with 4 varieties of durians, do expect up to seven different varieties of durians such as Mau Shan Wang, Zhu Jiao, Jin Feng, D24 and more. In addition, the feast includes other tropical fruits such as mangosteens, rambutans and jackfruits.

Besides feasting during the durian buffet,  participants will get to compete with one another in a durian eating competition during the 4 sessions. For the preview event, a mini competition was held for their social media fans elevating the atmosphere.

For photography opportunity during the durian fest, seek out the event's own King of Fruit Mascot.

So durian lovers it is an event not to be missed. Heard that tickets are running out fast. The price is very attractive, the amount you paid probably buy you only one or two premium durians but at RWS Invites Durian Fest 2013, you get to feast to your heart's content 7 varieties of premium durians as well as delectable spread of seasonal tropical fruits.

Boon Kee Wanton Noodle @ Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre

I actually wanted to check out the popular Lor Mee at Clementi Central but it was not opened hence I went walked over to Clementi block 448 Market and Food Centre to have my breakfast instead. After walking around the food centre, I decided to join the queue at Boon Kee Wanton Noodle for my breakfast.

Wanton Noodle Dry and Soup

From my observation, it seems like this is a family run stall. Besides the 2 old folks that is helping out at the stall which I suspect is the parent, it is quite hearten to see 2 young gentlemen probably in their mid 20 to early 30 years of age running the stall. One is at the front, taking orders and payment while the other is inside the stall cooking the noodles.

Wanton Noodle Dry 2.8/5

What stood out for the plate of Wanton Noodle Dry ($2.50/$3.00) is the eggy and springy noodles that has a good bite to it. The sauce and char siew was quite average. In fact I found the char siew serving was rather pathetic.

Wanton Noodle Soup 3/5

The Wanton Noodle Soup ($2.50/$3.00) fared much better to the dry version with the light and refreshing soup allowing the noodles and wanton to be the highlight of the dish. The wanton with its delectable pork filling stands shoulder with other popular wanton noodle stalls.

While I find the wanton noodle rather average and does not have its own unique character, it is interesting to know that Boon Kee Wanton Noodle has always been able to attract a long queue eager to try their wanton noodle. Are you a fan of their wanton noodle, what makes you like it?
