++ Food Hunt (I). ++
The most basic survival instinct for human is probably to eat. It is simple to acknowledge the fact that people live to eat. However as humans take the norm food for granted, we constantly search for the better to fill our stomachs. So have I. In this post, I've gone to fulfill this great commision for my dear tummy.
Now, here is 5 to start with.
Note: The ratings awarded are not inclusive of other factors like service, ambience nor price. It is based on the food item itself.
1. Johor Bahru's Bak Kut Teh
What's: Bak Kut Teh
Rating: 7/10
The crucial point to a good pork rib soup, better known as Bak Kut Teh is in two parts - the meat and the broth. Unlike in Singapore, which our soup base is based more on the Teochew style, with a light colour and more peppery, Johor's Bak Kut Teh is darker, and with added medicinal herbs, thus creating a stronger flavoured soup. Their meat is tender, and do try out their pork trotters and assorted vegetables too.
2. Lenas @ Nex
What's: Hamburger Steak w/ Pancakes
Rating: 8/10
A sub-branch of MOF, and it's better in fact. Have a taste of heaven when you place a slice of pancakes drizzled with maple syrup in your mouth. Not to mention the hamburger steak and the scrambled egg. Definitely a must try.
3. Hog's Breath Cafe @ Robertson Walk
What's: Garlic Steak w/ Calamari
Rating: 3/10
Located at Robertson Walk, an area well-known to attract streams of foreigners, but if this is the kind of food they're eating, I've no other say. The steak is dry and has a rough bite to it. The only food edible on the plate is the calamari, that's how bad it is.
4. Nandos @ Tanglin Mall
What's: Half-Chicken (on maximum spiciness)
Rating: 9/10
Comes with 4 different level of spiciness level, I decided to take on my guts and ordered the highest level. And please, it's not even spicy at all. However that's not the point, the chicken meat is so tender and smooth, but there's a tinge of burnt on the skin, but it's awesome. You get to choose two sides, the coleslaw was average but the olive rice totally deserves an award or something. Double MUST try.
5. The Coffee Connoisseur (TCC) @ Centre Point
What's: May's High Tea Set
Rating: 6/10
What else beat lying on the couch and lazying your afternoon off while having high tea with your loved one(s)? I love the raisin scone, it's irresistable delicious. I even eat the crumbs after that, but not to the extent of licking the plate. The salmon biscotti and strawberry pudding are awesome, as well. Oh! And do note that this promo item set is only available on the month of May 2011.
