Doraemon's Time-Travelling Adventures in Singapore @ National Museum Of Singapore

Finally caught Doraemon's Time-Travelling Adventures in Singapore three days before the end of its run at the National Museum Of Singapore.

It seems like a strange decision to hold a Doraemon exhibition in a history museum but who is complaining?

Life-sized figurines of Doraemon posing with his gadgets can be found at the lawn in front but there are more inside the museum waiting to be discovered.

Fu Xiang Fried Oyster @ Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre

Many years ago, Dad and Mom brought home a big packet of orh luak (fried oyster omelette) from Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre. That was my first orh luak in years and I remember relishing it back then.

I do not eat this dish frequently. It is something that I have only once in a blue moon when I feel generous or when I wanted to give myself a treat.

I decided to check out this stall called Fu Xiang Fried Oyster at Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre. I could not be sure if this was the very same stall where Dad bought it from as the stall's façade looked relatively new but I believe this is the only stall offering orh luak ($4/$6/$8/$10) at the food centre.

Taste The Kwang's Black - Charcoal Roasted Black Char Siew Wanton Noodle @ Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre

If you think that the Chinese characters 碳烤黑叉燒 on the signboard is the stall's name, then you are very much mistaken.

This stall have several outlets located around Singapore such as at Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Bukit Merah, Clementi, Kovan, New Upper Changi, Tanglin Halt, Upper Bukit Timah and Yishun. 

When I first come across the outlet at Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre, I tried looking them up on the internet with this name but did not managed to find anything at all. 

The real stall name - 老廣黑味道 (Taste The Kwang's Black) - is found on the side menu panel instead. As the name is not in a prominent location nor particularly eye catching, it is easy to overlook. It actually took me a few days to discover the name from the photo I took.

As my sole purpose for coming to this stall is to try their charcoal roasted char siew, I decided to have their char siew wanton noodle ($4).

Snow Mount - Fried Kway Teow @ Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre

This is a continuation from the previous post. 

To recap, Snow Mount at Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre houses two of my favorite food within one stall.

One half of the stall sells fried banana, or goreng pisang while the other half, sells fried kway teow (flat rice noodle).

You may find my post about their fried banana in the link above. I shall continue with the fried kway teow in this post.

Snow Mount - Goreng Pisang @ Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre

Snow Mount at Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre houses two of my favorite food within one stall.

One half of the stall sells fried banana, or goreng pisang while the other half, sells fried kway teow (flat rice noodle).

Ironically, although both are my favorite, I hardly have them more than once or twice a year because there are non near me that is worth their calories.

Xi De Li - Glutinous Rice Bun @ Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre

If memories does not fail me, Xi De Li at Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre has been there for as long as I could remember because I used to live in the neighborhood during my younger days. 

Some of my family's favorite things to buy here are the ham chim peng, yew char kueh, beh hei ji, and chin toi.

Just a show of hands, does anybody still calls them the way I do?

Apart from the ham chim peng (salted fried bun) and yew char kueh (youtiao), do you know what the other two are?

Well, beh hei ji refers to the butterfly bun while chin toi is sesame ball.

Fong's Dee Curry Puff @ Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre

Fong's Dee Curry Puff at Clementi 448 Market & Food Centre sells a plethora of Chinese snacks but only those in the know knows that the star product here is actually their delectable curry puff.

From the mixing of flour, kneading, wrapping, crimping to deep frying, they are all individually handmade on site hence no two puffs looked the same.

Due to the small scale of production, only one curry puff flavor could be found here which is the chicken curry.
