Changi Village Food Centre

This is Changi Village Food Centre (at the far end of Singapore), very famous for its food. One such popular stall is the nasi lemak (coconut rice), you need to queue to purchase the food and they sold out very fast.

There are so many food stalls in this centre and if you cant make up your mind which stall provides the best food, just see the queues....lol



We decided to eat the noodle at this stall and looking at the queue, you can tell it is good. This stall is recommend by Makansutra.



Wanton Hor Fun - Hor Fun is a cantonese term for flat rice noodles. The fried wanton is very good.

Chicken Chop Hor Fun - the chicken chop is very good and crispy.

This beef soup eaten with white rice that we ordered from another stall.

This rice with salmon, fried egg and vegetables is very good too from another famous stall.

Different ways of making agar agar

I just made some agar agar for tomorrow christmas party at my brother's house.
Bought this box of chendol strips from the supermarket.


This is how the chendol strips looked like. I blanched them in hot water and set aside. Boil 12 gm agar agar powder, 850ml of water, 200 gm caster sugar, 200 ml coconut cream, pinch of salt, 3 pandan leaves tied into a knot, 1 box of green chendol strips.

When boiled pour into moulds and add some chendol strips. Let it set and refrigerate.
This heart shaped mould is lovely, I must remember to do a valentine dessert...lol

This is a peach agar agar. Just boiled some agar agar powder, water, sugar and when boiled, pour into mould and add peaches. Let it set and refrigerate.
Tonight I will make another dish, braised mushroom for tomorrow party. So these are my contribution for tomorrow pot luck party.

I am ready for tomorrow part. :)
