Just another food trail with my mom!
Ooohh.. This season is really not the best time to think of staying healthy, really! Haha!
Just a couple of days ago, I borught my mom to Nanyang Good Morning Cafe (2 posts ago) to check out the coffee, orange ciabatta kaya toast and the scones for breakfast! I have been out for breakfast checking out places with my mom since she’s on leave over the new christmas-newyear season anyway! Too bad this time round she was too xian to wait for the scones to be baked! :S
Then immediately, we walked to People’s Park Food Centre cos she was telling me about this Yong Tau Foo stall that she patronized since a little girl! I was wondering it’s only YTF, what so special! But apparently it’s the kind that doesn’t serve your staples with the YTF.. Too bad, as opposed to the usual snakey long queue eat, it was closed! (Well, New Year’s Eve!) So we settled for a big plate of Shui Jiao (Prawn Dumplings). Wah it’s cheap and good!! The skin was sufficiently thin! ", Love it with lots and lots of ginger and vinegar! Ginger fan! hee..
THEN! We walked and had dessert at People’s Park Shopping Centre. My mom introduced me to Dessert Hut. It’s a cafe. I.e, a shop with seats inside. Boy, it’s good. It’s the kind of Hong Kong desserts. We shared a bowl of Yuan Yang (sesame and almond paste)! It’s good! Then we decided to have something cold.. Guilin Gao! Yums! Haha! Should bring you guys there man!! THere’s another outlet at Arcade. While this place was full and occupies 2 shop spaces, the sad thing was, there was another dessert stall next to it which was virtually empty. Sad. Sure close down one ok.. hahaa.. Haha! Next time I wanna try the Ah Balling with ginger syrup…. Oh, the Or Nee (Yam) too! …. and the popular mango sago! No harm adding one more? The steamed egg custard too then!!!! The picture was tempting enough!! REALLY should go bac kthere! Haha. May I add that it’s also not overly sweet? ", Brownie points for that!!
Oh man! What a healthy hearty breakfast! :S
On a last note, I think the whole chinatown/people’s park area is beautifully linked and sheltered from building to building! It’s quite cool that we were able to walk from end to end, building to building via some sort of overhead! Haha reminds me of hong kong, you know the famous circular overhead bridge they always use as a setting in HK films??
