Makan Spree

Brought Granny on a Makan Spree today. Our first destination was at this Anson Chee Cheong Fun located at 324P Changi Road. Anson (Teluk Anson) is a place in Ipoh, Malaysia. This style of Chee Cheong Fan is only found in Anson and quite famous in Malaysia.

Yam Cake. Granny likes this.

The Chee Cheong Fan is like normal Chee Cheong Fan but it was wrapped with turnip, dried shrimp and fried shallots. Sprinkled with sesame seeds, spring onion and green chili. In my opinion, it is really good. Even if it's not dipped with the sauce, the Chee Cheong Fan goes very well with the fried turnip and dried shrimp

Next, we checked out this Hakka Restaurant which is just diagonally opposite Anson Chee Cheong Fun. It looks a bit rundown like those restaurant in the 80s but surprisingly, the place was quite packed.

Didn't know Raw fish is also 1 of the Hakka Specialties. It sure was expensive. We ordered the medium size portion and the serving was pathetic small. Only a few slices of raw fish covered with lots of spring onion, ginger and red chili so it seems like the serving is very generous.

Abacus, the Hakka dish of yam dumplings, is a very delicious dish that is not very commonly found. The version here spotted a nice chewy texture with a sweet, distinct taste of yam. The toppings (fried dried shrimps and shallots I think) gave a savoury touch.

The Steamed Lala was steamed with ginger, red chillies and Chinese cooking wine

How can one come to a Hakka Restaurant without trying their Yong Tau Foo. The Yong Tau Foo came as a standard set. It came in generous plate of pieces of fishballs, tofu, chilli, bittergourd and tau pok all stuffed with fish paste. Not sure if this is how an authentic Hakka Yong Tau Foo shd taste as it's quite different from Mil's version. Still likes Mil's cause there's fish paste, minced meat and salted vege in the paste that she used. While the one paste they used only have fish paste and a bit of minced meat and it's too hard.

I like the chilli and the thick savoury-sweet sauce.

The finale, ice cream at Island Creamery at Serene Centre.

Visited Mm and she gave me a mini compo set which included the IPOD Docking station. Nice, now we can attach it to our ipod. Our revamped TV and entertainment in our bedroom.

Shopping at JP and dinner at Wendys.
