Ah... This is one place you can get authentic Singaporean food. Yes, and I mean authentic.

Some may claim that the food here is not up to standard, but sometimes it is just the best you can settle for.

One thing you MUST try, is the Bak Chor Mee. Bak Chor Mee is hokkien for Minced Meat Noodles. You have 2 choices of noodles. Mee Pok (somewhat like fettucine) and Mee Tia (the normal egg noodles). We would recommend Mee Pok. Noodles with minced meat, garnished with mushrooms and fried shallots, it makes a satisfactory dish.

If you've been to Singapore, you definitely have been asked to try Hainanese Chicken Rice. Yes, they serve the very same dish here. It is fascinating how one dish can taste differently in different places. Steamed chicken with sesame and light soy sauce served with fragrant rice. Of course, we can tell you another place for this truly Sinaporean dish.

Lastly, featured in this issue for Boba Pearl is the Chwee Kueh. Chwee Kueh actually means water cake in Hokkien. It is made with rice flour though, weird! Served with pickled turnip, this dish is wicked! Great for supper and get-togethers with friends.
