Heng Heng Curry Cafe @ Causeway Point Woodlands

Heng Heng Curry  Cafe
Causeway Point, 1 Woodland Square #B1-19
 
Had always wanted to try out the Curry Fish Head Curry at Heng Heng Curry but I always hestitate due to the fact that it always seems empty lol. I only manage to try one dish here so... it's hard to rate from just one dish. :D
 
 
I ordered the Curry Kong Bah (Braised Pork Belly) with the Pumpkim rice.
 

 
The pumpkim rice was sooooo disappointing. It's was too hard and the taste is kinda weird at least for me.
 
 
As for the Curry Kong Bah ... the gravy itself is the kind that is really thick. So unless you like thick curry gravy... then you might wanna think twice? Heehee the meat itself is ok just that the concept and taste of braised kong bah together with curry did not actually blend in that well.
 
I won't be rating this as it will be pretty unfair since I only tried one dish. Will be back to add in more photos and review when I try out more :D (that is if i return lol)

Gurney Drive @ Causeway point Woodlands


Gurney Drive @ Causeway Point Woodlands
1 Woodlands Square Causeway Point
#05-11/12
 
Personally went to this place to try out their prawn noodles as I was craving for some prawn noodles. Pretty hard to get really nice prawn noodles in Woodlands.
 
The first time I went, we ordered the premium crayfish prawn noodles($10.90) which has prawns and crayfish in it. It was great especially the broth. But it might be too salty for some as I do find it slightly salty.


Below is the second dish we ordered. It's the premium seafood fried kway tiao($10.90). Lots of seafood and bean sprouts. It's really good for those who favor more ingredients than kway tiao itself.


Since there is only two of us, we are unable to order alot so we decided to come again the next time round.

Lao San Kway Chap 老三粿汁

BLK 232 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 Coffeeshop
 
 
Basically, a fellow colleague of mine brought me here to try out the kway chap. It was said to be fantastic. You are able to chose the items you prefer and omit those that you don't like.
 
They serve the usual kway chap fare in additional you get to select 'fen chang' small intestines too which is not too common in other kway chap stalls. So if you love 'fen chang' small intestines you would enjoy.
 
The salted vegetable is great but personally I felt that the best was actually the chili which goes with the kway chap. As usual, expect to have a queue but it's fast moving so not to worry.
 
Pricing is average as it hugely depends on what you ordered.
 
If you are nearby this area and craving for some kway chap you may come over and try if not personally I think you may give this a miss. :)

Ho-Bee Roasted Food 好味烧腊




 
For those who have been to the market at 628 in Ang Mo Kio would know that it is always packed during lunch hours. (well which place isn't packed during lunch hours :P) Be prepared to queue for at least 20 mins for your lunch. Though I often goes to the marker during my lunch break but often due to the long queue, i would settle for something else. Therefore, I decided to come during my dinner instead.
 
 
As you can see, even during dinner time where most of the other stalls are closed there's still people queueing!! As you can see the prices are really cheap. For a plate of char siew rice its only $2. Frankly where are you able to find $2 food that can fill you up as well as satisfy your tastebuds?
 
 
Here comes my long awaited dinner for the day! I ordered the mixture of char siew and roasted pork rice with an additional of braised egg. The achar comes free together with the soup. How much do you think this cost me? Its only $3 !!!!!


 
Here's a close up of my dinner of the day from Ho-Bee Roasted Food.

The rice is soft and fluffy which i liked. Char Siew is ok , I preferred those with slightly charred sides :P This is more of a healthier choice though compared to those that are charred char siews.
The best is the roasted pork. The skin crackles when you first bite it... and the meat isn't tough but tender instead. A great combination of crispness and tenderness of the pork. Braised egg is usual braised egg nothing to rave about. The achar is something that added value to the whole as most of the stalls nowadays does not serve achar or even sliced cucumbers anymore. And with the rate you are paying... I would say its a very good deal!
