Rochor Hawker Centre #01-98 Zheng Xing Cooked Food

Saw a long queue outside this dessert stall and decided to try the Tao Suan. This stall sells other desserts too, but the tao suan seems the more popular choice. All desserts are priced at $1.20. A little expensive. But after i saw the tao suan, I knew it was definitely worth it. The You Tiao was not oily at least, guess they kind of steamed it a little. So it was soft and fragrant, without the oil. The Tao Suan was on the gooey side, which is ok for me. But the best got to be the the yellow beans in it. All the beans are still in their original shape and not broken up into pieces. And there's this nice aftertaste which my father said that it's just how they make it in the olden days. Guess it must be some traditional recipe huh. Overall rating, an 8/10. For the traditional taste with a healthy twist.

Geylang Lorong 9 Beef Kway Teow

Tamago took me to try this Beef Kway Teow which he claims is a 'Must-Try'. Waiting time wasn't long. We ordered $5 each which is the minimum price. At first, I thought the portion was small. Hah, but after I finished the whole plate, I was damn bloated and can't eat anymore. There's a generous portion of beef and some black beans. So i figured a plate of 'si zup' horfun at any Zhi Char stall costs $4. So a dollar more for the generous servings or beef, the price is reasonable. The gravy is damn thick, but after some time it'll get a little watery, most probably because of the Horfun (which lose it's water). I guess the Horfun is handmade looking at how the Horfun is cut. Beef was tender, guess the chef/cook put quite alot of cornstarch on the beef, but there's no lumpy cornstarch in the gravy which is good. However, one thing I was looking for, or tasting for in this case, is the "Wok Hei"(the heat from the wok). There'll be this distinct smell of a little bit chao ta, but of couse it's not chao ta lah. Overall a rating of 8/10 ,most of the points for the beef.
