spice peranakan

at their new premises

if you are driving there, it might be a little tricky if you are not familiar with the west.

after ministry of education --> turn left
go straight --> keep left and go up the slope
look out for carpark A which is on your right
turn into carpark A --> go down to B3 of centros building
park at yellow sector
take the lift to level 1 --> walk out of the glass door and turn right

the ambience is great for corporate lunches or evening family gatherings

beef rendung

chap cai

sambal sotong

cin jia lok fried egg

kueh kueh - complimentary from the manager dino

as we were too full to have anything else he thought we could try their

mini size kueh kueh as dessert. how thoughtful of him.

ever since the TCS drama series "little nonya" everyone seems to be more aware of peranakan culture and food. no exception for us either.

food, ambience and service of the manager were excellent.

imo: v good

durian 猫山王

ah teck/ah loon roadside durian stall

(the stall shares the space in front of shop

keng kei foods enterprise)

231 east coast road (opposite jago close)

tel: 9751 4828

last saturday, we joined the ieatishootipost's forum's "durian degustation" session here. it was an enjoyable night making new friends and eating good durians. paid $20/- and we got to taste about 6 different types of durians. to name a few : black pearl, red prawn, hu lu, D13, etc. the highlight of the night was 猫山王.

how do you tell the real King from the fake one?

look for the Star at the bottom of the fruit and you will find the real King

(the brownish portion shapes like a star)
