If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star

And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now.

Original Katong Spoon Laksa (Marine Parade Laksa) @ Bedok
The food I had the most ever since coming to Singapore must be Katong Laksa. It is easy for me to like Katong Laksa because of its small resemblance to Penang Curry Mee. For first timers, Katong Laksa has a much thicker and creamier coconut milk based soup and noodles that look like those used [...]

Bee Tin Curry Mee (Chain Ferry Curry Mee) @ Butterworth
As I know there are two versions of Curry Mee around. One uses slightly sweet and savory coconut milk mainly as the soup base with chili supplied separately, commonly found in Penang.
Another version, which is more common in KL/Ipoh and other places is prepared with curry soup topped with curry chicken resulting in a thicker [...]

Sulaiman’s Famous Cendol, Pudu.
During a recent walkabout around the Pudu market (???) area, we were brought to this stall in some alleyway off Jalan Pudu. Only after we were seated, we noted that many locals ordered their cendol in cantonese! Yup, the Indian uncle manning the stall speaks Cantonese. Heh.
The Cendol Kacang (RM1.10) is your usual plain cendol with a serving of kidney beans. The beans were soft and flavourful without being too mushy. And the cendol easily glides down one’s throat. The ratio of gula melaka and the coconut milk here is perfect, resulting in a refreshing, fragrant yet not too sweet dessert.
My favourite however, is the Cendol Jagung (RM1.20). Somehow the dollop of cream corn accentuates the flavours.
Great dessert during these hot days indeed. He also has Cendol Pulut, with glutinous rice and a special version .

California – COI Restaurant (San Francisco)
The concept of Coi sounds all righteous and good.
“best ingredients we can find in our area: cultivated plants grown from heirloom seeds; wild-harvested leaves, flowers, barks and roots; local fish, seaweeds and coastal grasses; pastured meat, poultry and eggs from small farmers. These are the flavors of place.“
I was sold and went all out to make a reservation on Opentable.com until I got a confirmation and heaved a sigh of relief.
Maybe it was a combination of factors – the recommendation and the anticipation, that made this meal a major disappointment.
I won’t go into details too much, but in general, I thought the food might have appeared interest and pleasant to the eye, some of them did taste pretty decent while some of them just don’t make sense. Above all, I could not stand the pretentious wait staff, with their no-smiles-i’m-better-than-you attitude. There was no need to seem so high-handed. I know they are probably nice people outside the restaurant. So the friend and I tried to loosen them up a bit by going a couple notches up the decibel scale.
The restaurant was in a low-ceiling room that made me feel like I was in a upscale cave. All the tables were full (about 24 pax in total) and more than 50% were Asians. Just a note, I don’t want to imply anything. So anyway, we got the tasting menu, which was the only menu, at US$125 per pax (excluding tax and tip) without wine pairing. What did we eat?
Scented with Coi essential oils (sage, pepper, and some flowers)
Honeymilk in a gel
Pink Grapefruit
ginger, tarragon, black pepper
early season asparagus, flowers and herbs
Vadovan gastrique, preserved lemon, wild arugula
fennel in different forms
glazed, young carrots, burnt breadcrumbs, almonds, wood sorrel
steamed tofu mousseline, yuba, fresh seaweeds, mushroom dashi
wild mushrooms, oxalis flowers
slow roasted farro, erbette chard, brown butter parmesan sauce
toast, spring lettuces
Hazalnut and cocoa textures
Olive Oil Shortcake
strawberry rhubarb, lemon balm, long pepper
