姑妈家 food pot

There is this restaurant that we will pass by whenever we goes to Lao Zhong Zhong for meals..I had always wanted to try it out as I have seen it on TV but didnt find an occasion to..

1 fine day, while on our way to Lao Zhong Zhong for dinner, we happen to find a lot outside this rest. And while I had a super bad day at work (wat's new given the situation now) I decided to change our dinner venue to here.. I have this bad habit that I will indulge in food whenever I am unhappy...

The place was pretty empty when we went in even though it is dinner time..I guess the location is abit off...Ambience was ok and the deco were so-so onli..The boss was pretty friendly, typical auntie looking, abit like my mummy pattern...eheheh Making me feel at home..heheeh Oh ya, her looks were made as the logo of the rest...the cartoon effect...whahah..quite cute...

We took awhile to look thru the menu and was deciding wat to eat...She was quite helpful, came to ask whether we need any recommendations as we looked like we cannot make up our minds..No, I politely decline her, I am juz deciding wat to get, no that we dunno wat we wan :)

In the end, we went for 1 Curry Cereal Prawn, 1 Belachan potato leaves, 1 fermented beancurd fried chicken and ABC Soup...


1st up is the the Curry Cereal Prawns (SGD 20)

This is cereal prawn but with curry flavour..Pretty new to me, I should say, abit spicy between the cereals while keeping the cereal taste...The prawns were big and juicy, you can taste the freshess of the prawns...If I did not remember wrongly, there shd be 8 prawns inside..

We found the price abit steep of tis dish as zi char stall would usually charge 12 or max 16 bucks onli..But the freshness/size of the prawns makes up for the price..I guess this is call, you get wat u pay huh....

We love the cereals and cleaned out every thing on the plate...hehehe

Next up is Belachan Sweet Potato Leaves (SGD 8)

I personally love sweet potato leaves as I find it to be soft..Hheheh I dislike those crunchy veggies..So usually I would choose between Sweet potato leaves or Duo Miao or kang kong..

For sweet potato leaves and kang kong, I would usually prefer them to be cooked spicy, be it sambal or belachan..When I ordered the Belachan flavor here, I had high expectations of it, expecting it to be spicy..

But this is a disappointment to me, for it is not spicy at all, and infact there is no fragrance of the belachan, it seems like the belachan is non existent at all making this dish abit tasteless..

Last dish is fermented fried chicken (SGD 8)

We wanted prawn paste chickie but since they dun serve, we settled for the next closest to it..heheh

The min. order for this dish is 8 mid joints, 1 for SGD 1, you can order more if there are more peeps, but 8 is kinda too much for the 2 of us, we managed to finish them nevertheless..

The chickie wings were quite well seasoned, at least I can taste the fermented beancurd in the meat aso..It tasted real well while served hot...The wings were quite big and tasty too, even though it is frozen wings, but you can still taste the freshness of the meat...

Its a good alternative to prawn paste chickie that we usually order and I like this as much...

Soup of the day (SGD 4)

Wat is a complete meal without soup? As Mr Love dun like to drink soup, I order a bowl of the Soup of the day  which is ABC soup...

The soup itself is quite tasty, I dun like to eat the ingredients inside, thus cannot comment on the meat/potatos/carrots..From the soup taste, it can be concluded that this has been stew for quite some time as it is quite thick and you can taste the sweetness of the pork in the soup..

For some 1 like me who do not realli fancy ABC soup, this is realli quite nice..

The total bill came up to be 44bucks, with no GST and no Service charge..As I deem it as a zi char place, the bill was abit on the high side, but Mr Love reminded me that settings were between a zi char stall and a restaurant, hence the higher pricing..

If  you asked me, I would not go there frequently cuz of the prices, but once in a while when I feel like indulging myself abit, I might still consider to go there to try other dishes, took a flyer of theirs and look thru their menu, there are other quite innovative dishes that they have on their menus which got me interested ;)
