Soy is Heathy only if it is properly prepared but unfortunately many shops or store even the famous one in Singapore dont prepare soy milk well. Do try their unsweeten soy milk. Smell first then taste it and you may find it hard to swallow. In the Compendium of Materia Medica of China has clear describe Soy milk as flat but sweetish taste. If you dont get these type of taste, it means the soy milk is not right.
I believe more than 70% of the freshly the made soy milk in Singapore dont cook well. Don’t be surprised if you get some kidney sickness after years of drinking soy milk.This is due to poorly prepared soy milk.

That thing up there is not fried noodles with beef. There ain’t beef inside. There are cockles, fish cakes and some chinese sausage. It is called Char Kway Teow.

Wowowow… so much food! And it’s all so cheap too! Makes me miss going to Singapore! I love the steamed rice cake with preserved radish (chwee kueh) – apparently the Tiong Bahru one is the best!

Half boiled eggs are awesome especially with toast. Quite tricky to make it sometimes. Hard to get juuustt the right texture.

@Helen : True! I think the heat got the better of us, all we wanted was aircon!

@Y: 4 days to be exact, I gained 2 kg …

@Jacq : Sometimes when food is cheap, you tend to over order! We did that a few times.

@Moya : Too true, it’s got all the textures for a good dessert.

@Penny : I found out about the duck shop too late, will have to try it when I go back in Jan!

@Betty : I got sick of the food after a few days, but now I miss it
