Food Review: Uncle Leong Seafood

First founded in a neighbourhood coffeeshop amidst the friendly Ang Mo Kio estate, the ever-popular Uncle Leong Seafood has now heightened into three full-fledged restaurants at Punggol, Jurong East, and Toa Payoh. Still keeping its modesty, Uncle Leong Seafood welcomes a daily haul of customers comprising both locals and foreigners.

Chilli Crab - Seasonal Price

The Singaporean favorite " Chilli Crab", it was damn good. The chilli crab was spicy, robust, with just a tinge of nuttiness. Generously egg-dropped, the gravy was finger-licking good. The spiciness was just perfect. Non spicy eater should give it a try, you sure won't regret it.

Taste: 4/5

Nescafe Pork Ribs - $15

What an interesting dish. The pork ribs had the aroma of nescafe, yet none of the bitterness. I find that the pork ribs skins are not very crispy and the overall taste is a bit too astringent with the flavour of the nescafe. Meat was not tender enough too.

Taste: 1/5

Sambal Kang Kong - $

Everybody favorite, it's a must order dish for me. The Sambal Kang Kong was yummy. It was not overly spicy and the kang kong still retained the crunchiness.

Taste: 3/5

Food: 3.5/5

Ambiance: 3.5/5

Service: 2/5

Overall, The food over here was really good and value-for-money. It's a worthy trip. Chilli crab, and Shimmering Sand Crab Delight is a must try dish. I will surely be back again someday.

Food Review: Saigon Vietnamese Delicacy

Saigon Vietnamese Delicacy specializes in authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The menu offer an array of flavorful dishes. There are alot of varieties of specialties, the popular ones are as follow;.
Banh Xeo (Vietnamese Pancake) Goi xoai (Mango Salad) Ngheu hap sa (Clamps La La) Pho (Beef noodle) Chim cut chien bo (Fried Quail with butter) Bun bo hue (Sliced beef shank with rice noodle) Bun rieu (Crab and tomator soup).

Standard sauces that you will find at any Vietnamese Restaurant.

Glass Jelly with Coconut Milk - $3.50

It was very thick and milky!! The coconut milk was fragrant too.

Taste: 3/5

Avocado Milkshake - $4

Average.

Taste: 2/5

Pho Beef - $6.50

The broth was light and not oily but it was a tad salty, it was with lots of slippery smooth rice noodles. There was a generous amount of thinly sliced tender beef. The only thing i don't like is, there're too much onion, and beansprout in it. Almost every mount i bite it with the onion and beansprout.

Taste: 3/5

Chicken Noodle Soup - $6.50

The broth and noodle all similar to Pho beef, the only different is the meat. The chicken was tender but it don't have much taste.

Taste: 2/5

Beef Stew with Rice/Noodle - $6.50

A good Vietnamese beef stew shouldn't be as thick as American beef stew. It’s more like a hearty soup with carrots and spices. However this beef stew broth was slightly too thick but it still taste good. The beef tendon, having been cooked slowly and gently for several hours, was moist and tender and its muscle fiber seemed to melt into an unctuous sauce.

Taste: 2/5

Chicken Drumlet - $6.50

I felt that this was just a normal fried drumlet, nothing special about it. The taste-wise, the chicken wasn't crispy enough and the meat wasn't tender enough too.

Taste: 1/5

The sauces for fried drumlet. Sweet and spicy sauce.

Food: 1.75/5
Ambiance: 2/5
Service: 2/5

Overall, the food quality was not bad, but it can be better. The restaurant open till late night, it's another great supper place for those night owl.

Hawker Food Hunt: Maxwell Food Centre

Located in the heart of Chinatown, Maxwell Road Hawker Centre has over 100 stalls, providing one of the biggest varieties of local food in Singapore. Even with the influx of vendors, the stalls’ offerings are very varied and you will easily spoilt for choice here.

1. Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice.

Chicken Rice - $5.70

Celebrity chef and host Anthony Bourdain once said that the rice here is so good that you can eat it on its own. One of the most famous Hainanese chicken rice stalls in Singapore.

The chicken was tender and juicy, and it is accompanied by fragrant and fluffy rice. The homemade chilli sauce here is also excellent, made with lime juice instead of vinegar for that extra kick.

Taste: 3.75/5

2. Jin Hwa Fish Soup.

Fish Sliced with Mee Hoon - $4

The broth was milky rich, tangy, tasteful and blended well with the noodles. The fish slices were fresh and nicely fried to perfection, with the smoothness of the white noodles.

Taste: 3/5

3. Zhen Zhen Porridge.

Century egg with pork sliced Congee - $3

The congee is uniformly consistently, smooth and silky, cooked to perfection with fresh ingreedients. This is topped with fried shallots, spring onion and ginger. Then sesame oil and white pepper is drizzled on top to season. The congee is steaming hot and just so tasty.

Taste: 3/5

4. China Street Hainanese Curry Rice.

Curry Rice - $3.80

I choosed cabbage, egg, pork cutlet and braised pork belly and it cost $3.80. Thick Hainanese Curry with some kick. The pork cutlet was crispy, tender and flavorful. It's a must-order item. The braised pork belly was a little disappointed. It wasn't tender enough.

Taste: 2/5

5. Xing Xing Tapioca Cake.

Ondeh Ondeh - $4

Bite into the coconut-coated super soft ondeh ondeh and you get a burst of liquid gula melaka, which might tastes like liquid gold. They're handmade and addictive. Go early to get your hands on their ondeh ondeh if you want to try it, because it sold out really quickly.

Taste: 3.75/5

6. Maxwell Fuzhou Oyster Cake.

Oyster Cake - $2

Oyster, prawns, minced pork & chives encased in a thin batter that is crispy on the outside, moist and soft bursting with flavours inside. A must try at Maxwell Food Centre!

1. 51 Mingfa Wanton Egg Noodle.

Wanton Mee - $3

The special noodles has a characteristic egg fragrance. The savory chilli is sweet and spicy and extremely complementary to the noodles. The char siew is well-roasted and the dumplings are tasty and flavorful. The soup is well-brewed with abundant anchovy sweetness.

Taste: 4/5

2. Yam Mee Teochew Fishball Mee.

Bak Chor Mee - $3

The noodles are topped with generous quantities of minced pork, sliced pork, fresh pork liver, bits of fried pork lard, braised shitake mushrooms, spring onion, fish balls, and meat balls. The sauce is a super good with chilli and black vinegar.

Taste: 3/5

3. Xiang Rui Zhou Pin 祥瑞粥品.

Century egg with Minced Meat Congee - $3.50

The congee was thick, globbly, heavy yet smooth. The ingredients was fresh and the "You Tiao" was crispy and buttery. I like to add chilli padi into my congee as i would like it to be spicy. This is my way of eating congee.

Taste: 3/5

4. Bedok Cooked Food.

Roasted Pork, Duck, Char Siew - $18

The roasted duck skin was crispy and the meat was juicy and tender. Yum. Char Siew was very umami, soft and succulent. The roasted pork was quite disappointing as the skin wasn't crispy and the meat was a little bit tough.

Taste: 3.25/5

5. Jin Zhan Ji 金斩鸡.

Hainanese Chicken Rice - $3

The rice is fragrant, savoury and non-oily while the skinless chicken meat is silky smooth and delightfully tender. The chilli sauce and dark soy sauce are perfect with the chicken.

Hawker Food Hunt: Changi Village Food Centre

Located close to Changi Point Ferry Terminal (the main transfer point to Pulau Ubin), it’s convenient for weekend fishermen and residents living in nearby HDB estates like Pasir Ris and Tampines looking for supper. Most stalls operate until midnight.

1. Amigo Noodle.

Ipoh Hor Fan - $4

The white noodles was smooth and has a slight chewy and springy texture, chicken is succulent & well marinated served with green vegetables.

Taste: 3.5/5

2. Mizzy Corner Nasi Lemak.

Nasi Lemak - $4.50

The rice was really fragrant and fluffy. The chilli was Sweet, spicy and fragrant. Chicken wings was freshly fried and crispy but the batter was a tad too thick. Otah was disappointing. It wasn't spicy and fragrant, it was just an average otah.

Taste: 2.5/5

3. Changi Village Carrot Cake.

Black Carrot Cake - $3

The appearance of the Black Carrot Cake does not justify the taste. The Black Carrot Cake was quite good and well fried. Each piece of carrot cake was well coated with flavour and egg.. They were fragrant and had the right sweetness level.

Taste: 3.75/5

4. Yong Heng Fried Prawn Noodle.

Hokkien Mee - $4

As you can see, there were more thick bee hoon than noodles for this version and they were very well absorbed with the gravy and wasn't too dry. Chilli was sweet and goes well with the hokkien mee! But i think i can find better hokkien mee somewhere else.

Taste: 1.25/5

5. Kwong Satay.

Satay - $1.20/ Per Stick

The satay meat was well-marinated and tender and I enjoyed those charred bits that give the satay a bit of crunch and smoky flavor. Every stick was well-worth the money although i find it was over priced. Just go for the pork satay, i think the pork satay was the best out of all type of meat.

Taste: 3.5/5
