was out with wong for dinner on friday.i was so zonked during class! gosh. cos of mild hangover and all. but all s good. but the thing is. i cudnt really think straight. so after class, i blindly and hilariously followed shieh yuan towards PS.when im sup to stay in sch. omg. thn i gave up and jus went to cathay starbucks to bum arnd. hur hurs. waited for wong to finish his clinc at brewerkz there and then we headed over to geylang!! justinHOW and alicia cudnt make it. oh wells. so we went to the famous beef kway teow stall. its called niu he da wang ( king of beef kway teow).
the serving for two s HUGEE. i was cravin for some coconut. so ordered their premium thai coconut. surprisingly, their coconuts surpass the dish itself. the beef kway teow smells good and all, but the taste is mediocre. i couldnt really taste the seasoning of the beef and the noodles were clump-ish. hmms. didnt really match the exhilaration that people gave when they tried it and told me about it. hahas but its NOT BADD LAA (as what we always say when sth good turns out not-so-good). the coconut s duper fresh though! the flesh is soft and cooling. very very nice. some coconuts are either too ripe or unripe, and the flesh will not be as soft.
after dinner then we headed next door! to the tauhuay stall. its called Yong He Eating House. it serves alot of authentic taiwanese cuisine. apparently they came all the way from taiwan. wong ordered the cold tauhuayzhui with the you tiao. oh myy. the youtiao s LONG. uber LONGGG. longest i ve seen. hur hurs. but i tried abit. its crunchy and not-so-oily. they also serves shaobing which is taiwanese pastry where u can choose ur filling. either meatfloss with egg or plain. yarpps. they also got those meat dumpies (xiaolongbao) as well as the oyster vermicelli, which they are famous for as well. its open 24 hrs! so its a good supper haunt.
wheee. while eating. we felt a gust of wind. and the wind carried a distinctive smell. something so familiar. so strong. so appealing. its DURIANS! without hesitation, we headed over to the stall we went the other time to eat. hur hurs. 3 for $10 durians came.
was so excited! cos i had the cravin for q some time. UNFORTUNATELY. i ve to announce that the durian season s almost over. and the durians turned out a lil soggy and tasted weird. yikesss. only 1 out of the 3 durians was passable. but its teh company that counts lar. somehow always eat good stuff w wong. hur hurs. durians are one of them!! (: kks i cant wait for the durian season to come again.. i <3>
