I was here for dinner with Singapore ex-colleague, Marc. He's giving 100% support to this owner of the shop, Ricky Ooi. We both been very close with Ricky, because we used to work together in a same company previously. I admired Ricky's hard work and his passion setting up own shop, came true at last.
Front Shop
From the designing till the opening ceremony, Ricky puts a lot efforts into it. The shop was spacious, famous with newspapers decor and it's painted in red color. As I walked in I saw large prints on the wall full with the reviews that's actually prompted me in mind that all the food here was good.
Ricky generously, greeted both us with a welcome. He's is humble in what ever way and we asked us what do we want for the night. I told him "Can you recommend us your signature dish?" Automatic Ricky share with us what is good in his shop.
Fat fresh Popiah
Fresh shredded Seng kuang and eggs wrapped with fine tiny dough
After taking down orders, he served us with drinks and some light refreshments as appetizers for us while waiting for the rest to arrive. The very famous Popiahs with decent ingredients such as fresh shredded Seng kuang and eggs wrapped with fine tiny dough. Not forgotten, with sweet and chilies sauce covering the layer of Popiah. The measurement of cutting just nice, to put a piece into my mouth. Juicy, filling and crunchy while chewing it.
Char Kuey Teow fried by Ricky
Char Kuey Teow, with fried Lap Cheong, cockles, & medium size of prawns
Next was the very famous Char Kuey Teow fried by Ricky himself. Could not wait to taste it with his own hand. Here comes the fragrant Wok Hei Char Kuey Teow after waited for 20min, a few meters away from the kitchen till my table. Hot and warm with a plate of Char Keuy Teow, generous with fried Lap Cheong, cockles, and medium size of prawns inside. It tasted heavenly delicious. In the middle of eating, I accidentally bite some crunchy stuffs which I've have no idea about it. I asked Ricky, and he said it's FRIED PORK LARD [Chu Yau Cha] that was the credits for overall presentation and I prefer to go with fried Pork Lard while eating it. One word it's absolutely yummy yummy.
Fried Rice with Lap Cheong
Next we were served by Ricky, the Fried Rice. This Fried rice is a very special with Lap Cheong superb if you ask me and also together with good Wok Hei. Rather classic, he fried is traditional style, with thick black soy sauce giving a nice aroma flavor and mixed with Pork Lard as well. Warm and hot, absolutely tasty, just nice not too salty.
Lam Mee with big and chewy pork balls
Marc was craving for noodles, Ricky recommended Lam Mee to him. This Lam Mee, generous with ingredients such as eggs, medium size prawns and my favorite was the big and chewy pork balls with thick black broth sauce that makes the Lam Mee well balance and it's a good eat.
Hokkien Prawn Mee, mixed with spicy blended chilies
Not forgetting the Hokkien Prawn Mee, with decent soup and ingredients, mixed with spicy blended chilies [secret recipe] historical from generations till now. According to Ricky, blended chilies need a lot hard work, not just ordinary chilies but to cook a good spicy chilies takes about FOUR hours, need to stir it non stop till it form thick spicy chili sauce. Beware of the spicy chilies hot till your tongue, lolz.
