Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee

Went Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee with zq for their famous dry chill ban mian pan mee. Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee actually started from Kuala Lumpur as you can see from the picture below.

It's free seating. At the table there's the menu and the order sheet which you fill in before proceeding to the cashier to make payment.

Both of us ordered the Signature Dry Chili Pan Mee ($5)- noodles, minced meat, meatball, ikan bilis, scallion, pan mee chilli and poached egg. Mix everything together and you get a flavourful dish. The noodles were well cooked, the minced meat was well seasoned, the ikan bilis helped add both flavor and crunch for the pan mee and the meatballs taste good as usual. They also gave a bowl of soup with the dish. The soup was slightly sweet and you could taste the vegetable that was in it. Zq said it tasted very home-y.

Rate:
Zq: 7/10 ☺

Me: 7.5/10 ☺

Tiong Bahru Hawker Centre

So today after church, I went with my parents to Tiong Bahru Hawker Centre for lunch.
We ordered Dry Mixed Beef Noodles from Joo Chiat Beef King, Egg Yolk Xiao Long Bao from Extreme Xiao Long Bao, Chee Kueh and Teh-C.

Mixed Beef Noodles, Dry ($4). The gravy of the beef noodles was nice but it could be better. Portion is enough for an average person. Soup was tasty. I like that there were meat balls, my favorite!

Xiao Long Bao, Egg Yolk. It's just normal xiao long bao with egg yolk, steamed buns with pork and egg yolk filling with some broth inside. I prefer the original one(without the egg yolk) as the egg yolk was not as watery as I had expected. It felt like I was eating steamed egg yolk. Not a good combination.

Chee Kueh ($1.50). First of all what is chee kueh? Well it's rice flour and water steamed in a small metal cup, topped with diced preserved radish. It's really nice. The topping is not too fine, just the right texture with bits of the radish to bite. The topping has a strong flavor which goes well with the plain kueh. The chilli is also really nice, spicy and has the dried prawn taste as well.

Teh-C ($1) To end off my meal, I had teh-c which is just tea with condensed milk and sugar. I saw that the shop had the condensed milk cans attached to strings and my mom told me that in the olden days they would used them to da pao(packet) drinks instead of plastic/Styrofoam cups. It looked really cool so I ordered one as take-away. Had to wait till it cooled down before I could drink it. 

Environment-wise: this is very good as you can recycle it and save some cost. 

Health-wise: not so good as this can metal might have harmful chemical or rust which can be very harmful.

On our way, we also bought some buns from Dough & Grains- A bakery that sells Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) bread. 

We bought the Wolfberry and Chrysanthemum bread. The wolfberry taste wasn't prominent while the chrysanthemum couldn't be detected. Texture-wise, the bread was really soft and fluffy! 

Had a great food day today!

KM Duathlon

On Saturday night, I went with my friend and her sis friends to Changi Village Food Centre for dinner before we head to Changi Exihibition Centre for the KM Duathlon. I ate Hokkien Mee and had Red Ruby for dessert.

The Hokkien mee($3.50) was okay. I like the chilli. The prawn and squid were not over cooked. However, it had that fishy taste which I don't really like.

The Red Ruby was nice, my sis friend bought it for me (hehe, lucky me). I like the syrup which reminds me of bandung. Lychee was juicy as always.

Now on to the KM Duathlon, the first ever KM Duathlon which consist of running and cycling over 2 distances- KM60 Distance(10km run, followed by 40km cycle and ending with a 10km run) and KM30 Distance(5km run, followed by 20km cycle and ending with a 5km run). 

I volunteered with my friend to help out in this event. We reported at the venue at around 11pm and stayed awake all the way(so hiong sia me, haha not really, I actually took a few naps) till 2pm the next day when the event ended. We were given snack pack, breakfast and lunch for survival which were more than enough. The people there were really easy to get along with and I found people who attends the same school as me(such a small, small world). 

Look at them run

Let the race begin! There wasn't much to do while they were running so, I took out my phone and began taking photos! 

Look at the sunrise. So pretty.

After a few minutes, the sun appeared.

So this was how I spent my Saturday night till Sunday afternoon. When I got home, I bathed and KO immediately(fyi I slept for 11 hours).
