Posted on June 30, 2016 by nelsonutella

2nd leg of my solo trip – Berlin! The first leg was in Vienna. And I’m so darn thankful I know a bit of German to navigate through the city!

Satisfying my tummy one dish at a time.

Instagram

林東芳牛肉麵. “Half tendon half beef” noodles at Terminal 2 of Taoyuan Airport. Noodles are perfectly cooked, with a nice bite, and not floury at all. The broth is lighter compared to other types of beef noodles you see. It IS still flavorful and I’d say it suits someone that prefers something light and not a flavor that is “in your face”, or bold. The tendon pieces were soft, but with slight resistance, and the beef slices were definitely tender. A good meal to end a very meaningful trip.

Lor Mee ($4). [成]美食好味道 (didn’t see English names for the stall) is located right in between the boneless braised duck and the roasted meat stall in Tanglin Halt Food Centre. Prices range from $3.00 - $5.00. They do not use pork here, so the meat options you have are chicken and battered fish. The broth was not as flavorful as I thought it would be, and slightly watery. For the battered fish, batter > fish, and we were given a quarter of a hard-boiled egg. They are generous with their ingredients so this will fill you up for lunch.

Motsu Nikomi (stewed pork innards). This dish is made with a miso base, hence the slight saltiness. There’s also konjac and radish in the stew too. Although salty, it is a comforting dish as it warms your stomach readily. Only for offal lovers!🐷

Malloreddus ($27). Malloreddus, also known as gnocchetti sardi or ‘little Sardinian gnocchi’ are a typical pasta from Sardinia. It is slightly yellowish because of the addition of saffron. Nostra Cucina serves theirs with a sausage ragu. A meaty sauce with the slight tartness from the tomato base, paired with the perfectly cooked al dente pasta. O mama mia.

Yan Kee’s Minced Pork Noodles ($4). A familiar name (probably) for office workers in the CBD area, hungry stomachs after a few drinks at the pubs, or just supper-goers. Went straight for their minced pork noodles, which at $4, is very affordable. You’ve got your usual toppings of minced and lean meat, meatballs, and a mushroom (😐). The addition of ikan bilis was a new thing for me but it certainly added some crunch to the dish. Noodles were well-cooked, but I felt that the sauce wasn’t vinegary enough (compared to Ming Fa, or even the airport’s T3 Kopitiam’s ba chor mee). Although it’s a ‘lighter’ version of the ba chor mee that I know, I still wouldn’t mind enjoying it.

PH Big Breakfast ($25). Danish loaf, bacon steak, guacamole, maple sausage, cured salmon, tater tots, mesclun salad. Overall, it’s put together pretty well, but a little too pricey. Cured salmon wasn’t too impressive, but the star would be the maple sausage. The combination of sweet and salty does work very well!

Who says you can’t have Yuan Yang (鸳鸯) in ice cream? My second time at @the.humblescoop and I chose the Earl Grey Milk Teh and their new flavour - Kopi C Siew Dai. The earl grey was very well-balanced, with neither the earl grey nor the milk tea trying to overpower each other, while the Kopi C Siew Dai was everything I’d hope for in a coffee-flavoured ice cream. However, the coffee might have been slightly acidic hence leaving a sour aftertaste but the Earl Grey Milk Teh brought about a good balance. Do note that the ice creams here are a little thicker than your usual so make sure your dinner isn’t too heavy!

Jerusalem Shakshukit ($30). Deconstructed lamb & beef kebab with tchigurt, pine nuts, pistachios, cured lemon, watercress pesto, harissa, olive tapenade with pita bread, and a herbed sunflower seed tabouleh. A great combination of flavours and textures: the spiced meat, slight acidity from the yoghurt, and the refreshing tabouleh.

Unagi Hitsumabushi [L] ($38.80). I opted for the large set because why not? The eel was unbelievably soft and tender while the skin was slightly crisp and that is due to the Kanto style of cooking i.e. “the eel is first grilled, then steamed for 15 mins, and then grilled again before serving.” (As mentioned by @ieatishootipost). This definitely hit the spot after an evening jog!
