Nian Gao

It is the time of the year that this bakery shop comes alive. This bakery shop is known as Da Zhong Guo. The only time you can see long queues at this bakery shop is before Chinese New Year (popular for their Nian Gao) and before Moon Cake Festival (popular for their moon cakes).

For those who believed in the Kitchen God, it is a must to offer Nian Gao to the Kitchen God one week before the Chinese New Year. As the Nian Gao is make of glutinous rice and tasted very sweet, so that the Kitchen God after consuming the cake will report sweet things to heaven. That is the time when the Kitchen God will report to the Jade Emperor in Heaven about the characters of every household. (It is something like he is making a list of who is good or who is bad).

Jack's Place Set Lunch

Jack's Place set lunch never fail me. I simply love going there for a nice meal. Their garlic bread are forever nice and when dip into the creamy soup it is gorgeous. Yummy. Their price are very reasonable and the food good. That is why Jack's Place has been around for a long time since the sixties.Their set lunch comes with garlic bread, soup, main course, dessert and coffee or tea. It costs only $8 and you can change the main course to executive course it costs $10.50.

Green Curry Chicken Set


I had this Green Curry Chicken Rice Set for lunch at the food court. But I dont really like it cause it is not spicy enough for me despite of me adding more chilli. I think I prefer the Red Curry Chicken.
