egg tarts and fried noodles

2.33pm

day 8. phew made it thru an entire week of blogging. tough work this. hehe. but im not complaining...yet.

anyway, earlier this week, i bought these egg tarts to try (picture A) from a stall called fancy delight and trust me it wasnt a let down. best bit for me was the tart crust. delish! the taste was slightly salty yet sweet enough but not overly sweet and there was a slight crunch to it. the texture of the egg custard was just right. it was soft and not too sweet, and they didnt stintch on the custard unlike some places where they give u a whole lot of the pie crust(or tart crust) and very little egg custard. same goes for the chocolate egg tart. perfect to eat it as it is or even if you put it in the fridge overnite, it still taste just as good cold. or if you like, zap it in the micro for a few seconds and voila! will taste just as fresh as when you first bought it. they have many flavors to chose from like durian, kaya, cheese etc. oh before i forget, i apologise for accidentally mashing up bits of the tarts coz i kept it inside my handbag so thats why it looks like that. heh. anyways i rate these egg tarts - 7/10.

today, for lunch, we "ta pao" (ta pao in cantonese means have the meal to go or take away)  these two noodle dishes (picture C). the white looking noodles is called singapore fried prawn mee (mee means noodles) and the black one is called char kuey teow. im not a big fan of the prawn mee as it does not appeal to me much . altho i gotta say alot of singaporeans like this dish, i dunno why. now the char kueh teow on the other hand, is one of my fav dishes. not in singapore tho, but in malaysia. somehow its the way they cook it and the taste is different. well you have to try both places, then you tell me.

anyways, after trying out the prawn mee and the char kuey teow, i decided that both were ok only. nothing fantastic or blew me away. i rate these dishes 4/10.


now you can see (picture B), this cut out  was taken off a magazine and stucked onto the stall's glass pane,to show people how popular it is. the man featured was taking my orders and i saw a lady doing the fryup. fortunately, there wasnt a queue at all. perhaps because it was the weekend and i was early? but one thing's for sure, one should always eat it fresh from the wok instead of having it to go. and maybe thats why it didnt taste as good as i thought it would be.
