Centre Satay Bee Hoon @ Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 Food Centre

You may wonder why there are very few Satay Bee Hoon stalls around the island. Satay bee hoon may seems like a very easy to make dish. You just need to cook the rice vermicelli, ingredients and pour the satay sauce over it. In actual fact, the making of the satay sauce or peanut gravy is a very labour intensive job. Long hours are needed in the roasting, grinding and cooking of the peanuts to get the soft nutty consistency.

Satay Bee Hoon 4.2/5

Whenever I have craving for the Satay Bee Hoon ($3.50/$4.50), one of my favourite stalls to go to is Centre Satay Bee Hoon at Ang Mo Kio Ave 6 Food Centre. What I like about their satay bee hoon is the smooth nutty consistency of the satay sauce. I have come across stalls that sold me very coarse peanut gravy which felt like the stall took the sauce from the satay stall and pour it on my plate.

Satay Bee Hoon 4.2/5

In the plate of satay bee hoon at Centre Satay Bee Hoon, you can find many ingredients such as prawn, cuttlefish, pork slices, cockles, kang kong and the supporting actor the rice vermicelli. The soft rice vermicelli still retains a bit of bite coating the fragrant satay sauce in each mouthful.

Centre Satay Bee Hoon will be taking part in this Ultimate Hawker Fest 2014 and they will be introducing some ultimate ingredients for the event. Centre Satay Bee Hoon will up their game for the charity event by doing their Ultimate Seafood Bee Hoon with Tiger Prawn, Cuttle Fish, Mussels and even shabu shabu Pork Belly.

The Ultimate Hawker Fest 2014 at Suntec Convention and Exhibition Hall 401 & 402 on 22 November 2014, 11am to 5pm is a fund raising event for the beneficiaries under the care of Touch Community Services regardless of race and religions. Coupons is required to purchase the food from the various hawkers and can be purchased at https://www.ultimatehawkerfest.sg/. While the hawkers sacrifice their time and some even a day's income to do a part for the needy and disadvantaged, I hope you can support them and do a part for charity too. See you at the Ultimate Hawker Fest 2014.

Spruce @ Phoenix Park

After browsing through the list of restaurant participating in the American Express Card's (Amex) 30licious from 3 November 2014 to 2 December 2014, I decided to check out Spruce at Phoenix Park which is nestled among the greenery. The #30liciousAmex dinner menu considers of a House Salad, a choice of Mains with a choice of Drink.

Homemade Lemonade 4.5/5

For the choice of Drink, one can choose to have coffee/tea, soft drink or homemade lemonade. I decided to go for the Homemade Lemonade. It was a refreshing choice of the humid Singapore weather and I like the addition of mint leaves to give in the extra refreshing boost.

House Salad 4.2/5

The House Salad consists of fresh greens, cucumbers, onions, tomato and almonds with a choice of dressing. I opted for the champagne dressing which has a nice tanginess that complemented the freshness. I applauded the used of almonds to give the salad the extra crunch.

Chicken Pullet 4/5

For the #30liciousAmex set menu, one has the choice of mains in the chicken pullet or any pasta dish on the menu. The Chicken Pullet comes with Desiree mashed potato, seasons vegetables and rosemary veloute sauce. The oven roasted chicken has a nice exterior crisp on the skin while the inside was still tender and moist. The rosemary veloute sauce is an excellent pairing for the chicken allowing the natural flavour of the chicken to shine but not over dozed it with richness.

Prawn Pasta 4.8/5

No matter how I looked at it, the green coloured pasta does not in any ways look like a Prawn Pasta dish. Do not be misleaded by the look, this is probably one of the best pasta I ever had. Buried in a delicious spinach and zucchini sauce with chopped sea prawn which explained the greenish colour. This is beautifully finished and topped with grana padano cheese enhancing the whole taste.

Squid Ink Carbonara 4.5/5

I like my pasta to be rich and creamy and the Squid Ink Carbonara definitely hits the spot. Usually squid ink pasta is quite one dimensional but the combination of using squid ink tagilatelie in carbonara sauce and bacon have given it layers after layers of slurping enjoyment.

To enjoy this great #30liciousAmex deal for $30++ set menu, book online and pay with your American Express Cards from 3 November 2014 to 2 December 2014. So do not missed it, make a reservation now at http://book.hungrygowhere.com/30licious.

Baked Ginger Date Pudding Ala Mode 4.2/5

We always say that we have an extra stomach for dessert. How true is it and with the saving from the #30liciousAmex set meal, I would gladly ordered additional desserts to wrap up the delicious dinner on a sweet note. Tried a couple of the desserts on the menu and my favourite was the Baked Ginger Date Pudding Ala Mode ($15). Warm, moist and comes with hints of ginger flavour. This is heavenly paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.

Double Chocolate Crunch Cake 3.5/5

A delight for chocolate lover is the Double Chocolate Crunch Cake ($12). The different layers of rich goodness will bring a smile to all chocolate fans.

Creme Brulee 4/5

The crackling Creme Brulee ($15) does not have an eggy taste but instead it is infused with the lovely fragrant of pandan. A nice Asian twist to the classic dessert that will suit the local palate.
