Porridge for breakfast and Home cooked lunch

Had the Teochew porridge for our breakfast from a coffee shop nearby our place. It consists of 2 pieces of sambal sting ray, veggies, fried spicy cuttlefish and a piece of tofu. All this cost $13.
We had home cooked food for lunch. It was char siew, lots of veggies, rice and miso soup.
Only 2 good meals are enough for us.

Our favourite kway chup

After our kopi and papaya at home ( 2 hours later) we drove to Tampines St 11 for our favourite kway chup and pig's trotter ($16). This stall selling the kway chup is not doing as well as say 10 years ago. Business is down but the quality of the food is still as good. The lady hawker told me the rental she is paying for the stall is $6,000 per month and this is the third increase since a few years ago.
She would relinquish her business if the rental should go up again,she told me.
However, my guess is, she makes a net profit of around $15,000 a month. She does not employ any worker except the dish washer guy. Her husband is also helping out in the business.

After yesterday's junk food, today's meals are healthier

After that 6 slices of bak kuah and kueh kueh, today's meals are more meaningful and healthier. First, it was papaya for breakfast followed by a home-cooked lunch comprising of sweet sour pork, bitter gourd fried with pork and a bowl of miso soup.
We were at a wet market in AMK and wanted to buy some fishes. It turned out that just 2 small pomfret weighing about 300 gram each cost a total of $25. It was daylight robbery and so instead, we bought a chunk of pork (shoulder 650 gram) which cost only $6.

Today's unhealthy but shiok meals

Besides, the mee rebus and the satay bak kuah, I ate 2 pieces of Bengawan Solo kueh lapis and marble cake. Today, I really went all out to have these junk food. The bak kuah was the tastier of all. I bought 600 grams and ate about 4 slices in one go and kept the rest in the fridge. This was the first time I've ever heard or tasted the satay bak kuah. It's on promotion and for the 600 grams it cost only $18 which is rather inexpensive. 

Thai food@ Food Scholar

Tried the Thai food at Food Scholar. Queue was quite long and the staff was slow especially the cooks. I had to wait 25 minutes for my Tom Yam seafood fried rice ($6). My wife ordered the Pad Thai ($5) (bottom picture)and she waited 15 minutes. Overall the food was quite tasty but rather expensive. The portion were small especially the Tom Yam seafood fried rice ( 2 shrimps and 2 slices of cuttle fish).

It is not Seletar Kopi but Food Scholar now !

I mentioned that I was at Seletar Kopi yesterday. It's now known as Food Scholar. It will have  Indian food, Malay food, Western food and a dessert stall besides the other food like Korean, Ban Mian etc as mentioned in yesterday's post. Hope the new additions would be better than before.

New Seletar Kopi@ Greenwich is now opened

We visited the old Seletar Kopi (Kopitiam). It was closed for about 4 months as business wasn't good. The new owner took over but although the name has changed the place is still the same. Not much renovation was done and there are a few same food stalls there. Our favourite Ban Mian stall was there and so was the Yong Tau Foo stall, Korean food stall and the Chicken rice stall. The only new addition was the Thai Food stall (closed today which is Monday)which we understand is selling delicious Thai cuisine.
We ordered Ban Mian ($4 formerly was $4.40) and after that had the Old Chung Kee's Cheesy fried chicken ($2.50) which was tasty. Then we proceeded for our tea at Toast Box (next door).

It is a great Sunday

Since I went to AMK to pay the deposit for the rental of the room for the cabin crew wannabes "Talks", I stopped at Long Xjing  stall for my favorite fish soup and rice. The queue is usually long but within 15 minutes I was served. It's value for money plus the fish served was fresh.

Busy schedule so ate out

We were busy with work that my wife does not have the time to cook. Besides, shopping at the supermarket for veggies and groceries today (Saturday) is quite challenging. We ended up eating Yong Tau Fu for breakfast and Nasi Lemak for dinner.
