Bak Kwa is one of the popular snacks among Singaporeans and they make good gifts too. Come Chinese New Year, the price of Bak Kwa will increase and the queues can be long at favourite popular Bak Kwa Stall.Did you know you can DIY bak Kwa? For photos of DIY bak kwa, I found on the internet: click hereI tried once and it tasted good although not as good as those sold outside. I had to lock my kitchen's door to prevent my youngest son from stealing my DIY bak kwa but the smart boy climbed through the kitchen window over the bar counter top....lol.

Crayfish Hor Fun

Picture tells a thousand words..............one word to describe this dish............YUMMY.This is one of my favourite dish which I would order every time I come to Hong Lim Food Centre. It is hor fun (flat rice noodle) with prawns and crayfish and you need to mix the hor fun with the gravy. But then not everyone has the same taste buds, not everyone like this dish.

Long queue especially during lunch time, where many office workers would come here for their lunch. The stall is Tuck Kee (Ipoh) Sah Ho Fun, Hong Lim Food Centre, Stall 41A, opening hours from11am to 3pm and closed on Sunday.

Home Buffet-Singapore Style

These are old photos (taken last year) dug out from somewhere in my puter. It was a buffet held at my sister's house. It was a home buffet Singapore Style.

Curry Chicken, eaten with rice, noodle or dip some bread in the curry gravy...yummy (a favourite among Singaporeans and of course me.........)

Assorted vegetables with mushrooms.

Prawns (I forgot what it was cooked with) and cant even remember what the other dish is....(

The outer tray was lemon chicken (was supposed to pour the lemon juice over the chicken) and the inner tray was sweet and sour pork

Outer tray was kong bak (3 layers pork, sliced thinly, cooked with dark soya sauce) and the inner tray was bun/pau. One had to sandwich the kong bak into the bun/pau.

Chong Qing Hot Pot at Suntec City

Today, Sis and me had a very nice lunch at The Chinese Feasts at Suntec. We had Chong Qing Hot Pot buffet package for two @ $11.90 ++ per person and it comes with ChongQing Hot Pot With Duo-Flavoured Broth (Spicy & Non-Spicy) and we get to select 5 items of dim sum too.The broth is the famous 'Ma La Tang' and 'Old Faithful Chicken Stock" boiled for hours to give the creamy flavour.

The tradition tea pot of chong Qing with an extra long spout.

The waiter scrapping some meat (like fish paste) into the non spicy part of the broth.

Ingredients to be put into the hot pot.

I think I prefer the non spicy part of the broth, it tasted so good and creamy.

Egg coated glutinous square dim sum

Cantonese style fried yam cake.

Fried crispy bun

crispy bean curd roll

Xiao Long Tang Bao - there are some hot soup in the bun, so one got to be careful when biting the bun, the soup will spill out of the bun and can burn your lips.
