Seletar Sheng Mian & Mee Hoon Kway @ Toa Payoh Lorong 8 - Snaking Queue For Their Noodles

I was running errands in the area and decided to walk over to Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Food Centre to find breakfast. A snaking queue at Seletar Sheng Mian. Mee Hoon Kway caught my attention and I decided to join the queue to check out for myself what the fuss is about. I follow MissTamChiak blog so I know this is one of her favourite stalls which she eats with her grandpa almost every week. However, I did not know that they actually have another stall beside the one at Kebun Baru Food Centre.

I did some research online and released that Seletar Sheng Mian & Mee Hoon Kway started at Seletar Food Centre. When the food centre was demolished, the elder brother moved to Toa Payoh Lorong 8 while the other brother settled down at Kebun Baru Food Centre.

Sheng Mian Soup 4.2/5

A bowl of noodle at the stall starts from $3. I had the Sheng Mian Soup ($4) which comes with egg, ikan bilis, fried shallots, vegetables, 2 prawns, minced pork and lean pork. The portion is quite generous with the variety of ingredients. The noodle looks a bit like our maggie mee but its less crispy and much softer. While the noodle is enjoyable and comes with a nice bite, the star is the soup made using pork bones and ikan bilis. It is the sweet soup that carries and hold the whole dish together.

Mee Hoon Kway Soup 4.2/5

My wife ordered the Mee Hoon Kway Soup ($4) which uses the same soup base and comes with the same variety of ingredients. The mee hoon kway is more doughy and chewy. In short, its up to individual which type of noodles you prefer to go with that excellent bowl of soup.

The stall also offers the dry version for both the sheng mian and mee hoon kway. I did not try during my visit but I noticed some of the customers having it and the chilli does look quite shiok. I look forward in coming back to try the dry version next time.

KEK Seafood @ Pandan Gardens - Innovative Oriental Burgers That Is Better Than McDonald's Burgers

Recently I was back at KEK Seafood Pandan Gardens with my mother-in-law. This is her first time visiting the place so I ordered a few classic dishes as well as new creations by Chef Wayne for his new outlet.

Moonlight Horfun 4.2/5

The Moonlight Horfun ($6/$10) is a dish that I never failed to order at Keng Eng Kee (KEK). The dish get its name for the egg yolk symbolizing the moon. The richness of the dark sauce infused with the wok hei aroma, coated with the egg yolk for a smooth and silky finish.

Thai Style Tofu 4/5

This is my first time ordering the Thai Style Tofu ($8/$12) and we all enjoyed it. Especially the crispy exterior and silky smooth interior. For the extra texture enjoyment, it is topped with cucumber and crispy baked cod fish strips.

Lotus Heaven Macadamia 4/5

For something light and crunchy, you can try the Lotus Heaven Macadamia ($10/$20). The used of cashew and macadamia nuts provided the extra crunch on top of the greens, mushroom and lotus roots.

Coffee Pork Ribs 4.5/5

Not to be missed at KEK Seafood is the Coffee Pork Ribs ($12/$18) which is both tender and juicy. An excellent dish bursting with rich flavours with the chemistry of the caramelized sweetness and coffee aroma coming together. I have ordered the dish regularly and the consistency is always there.

Salted Egg Yolk Crab Spaghetti 4.2/5

A one pot dish that is worth having is the Salted Egg Yolk Crab Spaghetti ($12). Unlike many other places that just tossed the spaghetti with the sauce, the spaghetti is given a toss in the wok infusing the wok hei aroma and coating it evenly with the salted egg yolk sauce.

Pai Gu Wong Burger 4.5/5

One of the latest creation at KEK Seafood is their Oriental Burger, giving the western fare an Asian twist. A total of seven different burgers are created incorporating Asian techniques into the burger. I had the Pai Gu Wong Burger ($9) which comes with a huge piece of tender and juicy pork in a sweet sauce, sandwiched between 2 toasted buns. It turned out surprisingly good. Other burgers available on the menu are Salted Egg Chicken Burger, Marmite Chicken Burger, Coffee Pork Burger, Salted Egg Pork Burger, Sambal Beef Burger, Salted Egg Sotong Burger. For a mere $9, it comes with pickles and a drink.
