Left to Right: Prawn & Mando Salad, Nonya Fish Salad wih Achar and Soya Duck with Chili Vinegar Dip

Crabmeat Kueh Pie Tee with Buah Keluak Caviar

The Nyonya Caviar, Buah Keluak added a punch to the usual kueh pie tee which i enjoyed pretty much. Juicy and Flavourful in each bite, I would need seconds.

Crabmeat Poh Piah with Crispy Crackers

Sambal Stingray in Banana Leaf

Black cod Fish Otah

Juicy and not too spicy, I love this one, the pieces of fish were huge in every slice of this Otah, Must Try!!

Nyonya Hokkien Noodles, A darker version of our usual Hokkien Mee, many ingredients and loads of Pork Lard!! Best to eat in small portions to save stomach space for other food!

Nyonya Chap Chye, never a fan of Vegetables, but this chap chye dish was pretty good, sweet cabbage soaked in the delicious stock paired with some vermicelli, a well balanced of texture. 

Nyonya Laksa

Prawn Noodle Soup

Beef Cheek Rendang, Tender cut of beef to be cooked in a Rendang way, Definitely tender, Rendang sauce could be more spicy and pack more punch.

Ayam Buah Keluak

Asam Fish, Sourish spicy Fish was a  crowd favourite that night. The sourness of the assam enchanced the flavour of the fish and it would go best with white steamed rice!

Durian Pengat with Pandan Jelly

Assorted Nonya Kuehs

Chempedak, Peanut, Durian Pancakes from the Live station allows you to get your pancakes served fresh from the pan! The aroma of Chempedak or Durian will fill your senses. Drizzle a little gula meleka for that extra punch of flavour.

Chempedak Creme Brulee

GORDON RAMSEY vs SG HAWKER HEROS

Recently, there's been great concerns regarding the decline of local hawker culture and whether Michelin-starred accreditations would encourage fresh blood to join the trade and preserve our beloved heritage. In response to this, on 5th June, a group of well-known bloggers teamed up with SingTel to challenge Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay to take on Singapore's favourite hawkers in a huge cook-off.

And now, the time has come for Gordon Ramsey to come Visit our Sunny Shores and also to Battle it out against our Singapore Local Hawker Heros. Together with Singtel, Its Going to be a HUGE Event. And I want to be part of it too! 

So How do you catch a glimpse of Chef Gordon Ramsey Himself? EASY!

Just Appear at Newton Circus Food Center on 7 JULY 2013 from 6.30PM onwards and you get to see GORDON RAMSEY HIMSELF! 

And who is Chef Gordon Ramsey going to Pit himself against? Its going to be Chilli Crab From Jumbo Seafood, 328 Katong Laksa and Mdm Foo's Chicken Rice. OH SUCH LOCAL FLAVOURS! So Lets all head over to find out if Gordon Ramsey Has What It Takes as a 13 Starred Michelin Chef to be Fighting Against our local Flavours.

Although sometimes I would feel that Jumbo Seafood is not THAT GOOD as compared to some other places for Crab, But Maybe their quality is assured therefore making themselves famous with the locals and foreigners. I would not doubt the 328 Katong Laksa as I Love it to bits myself. Hahaha. And For Chicken Rice, I heard that Tian Tian Chicken rice has its own crowd of customers, but I have yet to try it out, so I could not verdict on that. But Nevertheless, It would still be a great showdown on 7 July 2013!

Good Luck to Chef Gordon Ramsey & All our SG HAWKER HEROS! #SGHAWKERSROCK

With Love, M♥
