I was at Chinatown this afternoon and even though I was not hungry I would not want to give this famous char kway teow a miss. Fortunately, it was around 2:30pm and the lunch time crowd has dwindled or else there will be a long queue. Even at this time there were people who "tar pow" many packets and I had to wait 15 minutes before I got mine.
I ordered the $3 plate and a cup of kopi O (90 cts) from next door kopi stall. The CKT and kopi were satisfying.
The top picture is a dish called Nikujaga. It is a Japanese dish of meat, potatoes and onion stewed in sweetened soy sauce, sometimes with ito konnyaku and vegetables. Generally, potatoes make up the bulk of the dish, with meat mostly serving as a source of flavor. It is usually boiled until most of the liquid has been reduced.Thinly sliced beef is the most common meat used, although minced/ground beef is also popular. Pork is often used instead of beef in eastern Japan.
Nikujaga is a common home-cooked winter dish, served with a bowl of white rice and miso soup.
The centre is fried "glass noodles" with mushrooms, minced meat and veggie while the last one is the psyllium husk coffee jelly topped up with whipped cream.
