Past Eats : I Love Rice

There I was at Pho Vietz (again). If I love the food at a certain restaurant, I will go there again and again and again. 

One of the things on their menu is the rice platter which comes with either marinated sliced pork belly, lemongrass chicken chop or braised chicken leg. The accompaniments are pickled carrots/daikon, a fried egg, nuoc mam cham sauce and crackers.


This one was with pork belly slices. I added a side dish of pork patty skewers. Yes, I know. The fried egg is pathetic.


Another day I had the chicken chop.


No side dish. I was on good behavior mode.


On another visit I had another one with pork belly slices again. And my favorite side dish.


I noted that they did not include the processed meat that looked like luncheon meat (which I later discovered I accidentally ordered the vegetarian version). You will notice that their fried egg needs improvement. And the crackers? No taste. It's just crunchy and that's that. 


I make it a point these days to go for a (mall) walk after makan


There is an Uncle Kim's Ramen kiosk newly opened. 


It is basically nothing more than Korean instant noodles with toppings. Not something that I fancy but other people might like this.


Oh dear. Another one bites the dust - Warung Sizzling which served hotplate noodles. This space has now been occupied by Teow Chew Meng.


Yet another new shop opens - Ancient Healthcare. My idea of ancient healthcare (cavemen style) is eat meat, avoid processed carbs and food.


Tang Room in spite of the steep prices continues to flourish. Good for them.

  1. Yes, they need to go and learn how to fry a decent-looking egg! What a disgrace! Being in the food business and you can't even fry an egg. I had vegetarian char siu (yesterday's blogpost) and it was very nice! The mee was disappointing though - probably they did not use egg in the making. I thought you're off rice...and are sticking to meat only?

    1. Yes, I am currently on meat only. This makan happened in the past, in April or May 2023.

  3. No, I definitely wouldn't pay other people to cook instant noodles for me while I can simply do it on my own at home.

  4. I went upstairs to search for the other Vietnamese restaurant on your advice but could not find it. Perhaps closed down.

    You have just lured me again to eat at Pho Vietz! They have strong flavoured broths which I loved with lots taugeh and basils. I passed Uncle Kim many times but the menu is too simple!
