Matchy @ Work

It look nice, smell nice, but when I took a bite off this spicy wing, the taste was just that not good~!

The spiciness was never to be found. The skin doesn't taste sweet, salted, spicy or anything to be particular.

At least it was crispy to a certain extent.

The sauce that came with it was too spicy and it doesn't complement the wings at all.

Was seriously disappointed.

The drink we had was mint-choc frappe and rasp-orange tea.

The mint-choc do not need much intro. But the rasp-orange tea seem abit too much similar to a fruit juice.

Not very refreshing, but the nata de coco inside the drink make it drinkable.

Rating: Wings - 1/5
Mint-Choc -4/5
Rasp-orange tea -3/5

Location: TCC

Seem easy and nice to eat~!

Located at Batu Pahat, Malaysia, this stall will go unnoticed if you do not know.

I remembered my parents used to bring me here for family dinner during the 2000s.

Till now they still operating, and the cook is none other than the boss himself.

I believe they have more than 20 years of history. From the way they serve you the cups for your tea.

I love their porkchop and steamed egg. Alway give me a refreshing taste everytime.

I do not seem to be able to find this flavour anywhere in singapore though.

Strongly recommended.

As i was walking past joo chiat road, i cannot stop to notice this stall. The queue was forming up and many people was waiting outside.

I walked nearer just to realise that they are waiting for a seat inside this restaurant.

What caught my eyes was the unique steamboat shape and the smell that come along.

I saw similar stall in Golden mile and i was hoping that more of such stall will arise beside in Golden Mile.

I told myself I will visit this stall and recently i managed to patronise it.

I reached there about 6.45pm and there wasn't any crowd yet.

The staff asked if we make a reservation and i told him i didnt.

He guided me to the nearest table and showed me the menu. I was told that buffet was only available on weekdays. So sad.

Anyway i counted the number of table inside and there were about 15 of them.

Without much hesitation i chose the set dinner with consist of "abit of everything" but i told the waiter i do not want the seafood. Haha allergic to that. He was nice enough to offer other choices and i went for more chicken which turn out to be the best choice.

The waiter return with three dishes of chili sauce which happen to be the signature sauce here. Three level. Original, most spicy and less spicy.

i thought the most spicy suit the meat best. The original on the other hand taste like those use for oyster omelette.

Came the stove and it was placed on this flowerpot dish.

I was very excited, grabbing the pork fats(lards) and started to go over the bbq section of the stove.

The aroma released was death defying. I nearly died.

It was so damn nice lah~!

Ok in short, the food was nice, the soup was not those plain type where they mix some powder based with water.

The service was good as the food came quick and I was also given a pot of soup to refill just in case they were too busy. (Indeed they were, as around 8pm u see lotsa people coming in to fill the place).

The chicken was the nicest as it was well marinated and chicken thigh was used. Bacon were also served here. Love the Bacon~~~

Overall I will definitely come back and kudos for promoting a unique thai traditional bbq.

Btw Mu means “pork” and “kata” means BBQ. So “Mookata” means thai Bbq over charcoal.

The first time I went to this place, I didnt try the food. But I cant fail to notice that the crowd queuing around the stall was a huge one.

One particular reason because it was self service. More importantly, it was the food that attracted all the people back and again and again....FOR 40 YEARS~!

I told myself i had to come back and try. I was not disappointed.

The cutlet was a large piece of crispy breaded chicken, fried to perfection without having the oily feeling.

What amazed me more is that the auntie pour some tangy sauce over it. It somehow enhanced the taste further rather than spoiling it.

Very unique and even the french fries become soggy fries, yet it still taste damn good.

Not many stalls nowadays still use metal plate to serve but I guess it give a sense of nostalgic feeling.

Will definitely still go back again~!

Btw the sad part is that the stall owner mention that they might want to retire after 40 years of cooking and their children unwilling to take over the stall. Well, part and parcel of life.

Oh yah do not forget to try the bean curd stall right beside the stall..The original flavour seem to be the best~!

Knew the management was something wrong.

Heard that the chef went to open his own stall.

http://steakrepublic.com/

But yet to try it. Very scared that the food is just as bad when it was at Republic of Steak

They having last minute offer so decided to get one box.

Too bad they only have limited flavour left.

Just tried the durian and felt that it taste more like ice cream than mooncake itself.

Still it is nice to the palate.

Damage: $21.50

I used to patron this restaurant quite often as it is on par with Aston's, but minus the queue.

But recently i went back to eat and realise that it has not been improving throughout.

The space within the restaurant is rather constrained. The staff's attitude didn't impress me.

And when it come to the food, i was totally taken aback.

The chargrill chicken was very oily and the meat was tougher than rubber band.

The pitiful serving of the sauce make you wonder why the cost-cutting measure.

The serving was also very much lesser than before.

Now it cannot even hold the rank upon those hawker stall like Chargrill Bar.

The only thing which impressed me was the soup that was served.

The creamy taste coupled with the mushroom give a very western style feeling and I like it alot.

Other than that, everything was in a mess and I truly hope that the management can really reflect and improve.

Damage:$6.90 for chicken...Add $2 for soup and drink

Rating:2/5 for chicken, 4/5 for soup.

Went for the offer as stated above.

Ordered the food and waited for it to come excitedly.

We were being served paper plate, but it wasnt much of a problem as long the food taste nice.

But I was wrong.

Firstly the fish was too battered for my liking. There was not much fish to be seen and was largely overwhelmed by the crispy surface.

Secondly, it was very oily to the extend that I felt vomiting after taking one piece. My suspicion was that the oil used to fry the fish was not changed. The chinese like to call the "chao yu bee".

You can literally taste the oil and it was not pleasant.

The so called cheese was not to be seen also as from the picture shown.

Lesson learn here not to go for offers.

Damage:$16++ for two sets.

Rating:1/5

What make a bowl of nice wantan mee? The noodle? The sauce? The Wantan?

Ever Since I was 8 years old, i been frequently going to this stall where they serve really nice wantan mee.

Then they moved away one day and fortunately i managed to find it again.

Damn nice...the noodle (mee poh) ish one of the nicest u can find in singapore...

the chilli complement the noodle so well, that it is deadly addictive.

The noodle ish QQ and bouncy but it ish not tough on the teeth.

The char siew is thinly slice and very well marinated.

the wanton ish chewy and the dumpling is big and juicy.

Though the price is not cheap, but ppl still flock to eat here.

The stall holder have been in geylang area for over 10 years.

Overall, it is worth every single cent. A MUST TRY~!
