Singapore Food Festival 2011

Abbey:
Another food festival, yahoo!!! This time its theme is all about spices. The festival is held at different places but we went to Clarke Quay. Its divided into 2; one is for the cuisine and the other is for gourmet.

I tried Tikka Chicken Skewers, an Indian dish, served with brianni rice. The taste of bell pepper has a perfect combination with the marinated chicken. I also had Thai's crispy chicken and sweet potato, and a Turkish shawarma. All totalled 15sgd. We went in the gourmet section, but didn't get anything as we are full. The festival had a contest in which you will smell the aroma of spices and guess its name. Winner of the contest will be given vouchers.

WILL: Wohhhhoooh! Its a feast! We went to clarke quay aftwr my office hour. And at the jampacked bridge, there located the food stalls, the best chicken tikka and chicken shawarma i ever tasted. The food costs cheaper from 3$ you can eat a dinner out of it. Here Abbey confessed, he is now loving the Indian foods ;) 
      A night of music and food is really good combination. Cheers to the organizers. We will wait for another food fair. 

The Cafe Cartel

Abbey:
We set a movie day to watch Harry Potter 7.2. But before going to the movie, we're hungry. We stopped at this diner and tried their menu. I got grilled chicken and pork topped with gravy in a hot plate. It also includes sausage and kernel corn as sides. Its flavorful. The meal is priced at 15sgd. Cafe Cartel plays on the colors of black, yellow, and white. This is a good place to have a family meal. On weekdays, they have discounts and promos.

WILL: What will you expect? The best of all inside the store right? We went here for a dinner before the final bout of Harry.
Abbey ordered pork and chicken costs around 15$. The taste? Predicatable. I ordered pasta and this is well recommended, the spices is overflowing and i love it. That costs ...
      We never took our dosage of caffeine, baka d nmn ako makasleep for that night eh hehe.
      Their branch at NEX mall was located just after the MRT exit, a good location for al fresco dining just hope rain won't fall ;)

 

The Old Stall - Punggol

ABBEY:
I'm allergic to prawn and squid. But I want to overcome this so I decided to try fried ho kien mee. The shop is located at a hawker near Shengsiong-Punggol branch.
The dish is cooked as you order. You can even watch it at a glass window. The price starts at 4sgd to 8sgd; depends how much do you want to eat. They also serve fried quay teow, carrot cake, mee rebus, and many more.
Once in a while we dine in there before going at the grocery.

WILL: Love at first sight(taste) hehe, that is my love affair with Fried Hok Kien Mee. One sunday afternoon, I saw a banner on our way to Sheng Shiong market and asked Abbey if we can eat some of those for 3pm snack.
      From there, we keep coming back to buy and indulge on this local Singapore food. The meal costs no more than $5. ;)
