Lim Joo Hin Eating house (13th Dec 2008)

Because i didn't managed to get my teochew porridge fix...being my fabulous fantastically GREAT sister, she suggested to go to my favorite teochew porridge place :)

it's great to have such a sister : D

Frist of all ... the choices...

Our selection...

sauces... and my porridge

Steamed fish cake

Szechuan vegetable

Preserved radish Omelette

Braised duck

I like Teochew porridge, not because it's a simple meal... I like it, because of the number of choices we can have to accompany the porridge. This might not be the most authentic one, but it's definitely a familiar joint I frequented with my friends.

Teochew Porridge somewhere... (11th Dec 2008)

Someone told me they have fantastic stuffed beancurd ... so I drag my vegetarian fren for this meal... hahhaa poor her. To me, it's very interesting esp when the staff there... absolutely do not like advertising their stall. why? they do not want to work too hard and they just want to earn enough. I totally agree with them... so their customers are their regulars or people who happened to wander past... or stubborn people who just need to try before giving my opinion if I like or not like this stall.



Some of their regular clients

Here's some picture I took that day :D




Their famous Tau Kwa Pau... okie i am not a big fan of it... I am actually not a big fan of Tau Kwa. I like the fillings though. Basically eat the tau kwa because of the fillings... :P

Some of the choices they offered :D

there are so much beancurds they are offering... other than their famous Tau Kwa Pau.

Here are some of their steamed fishes....

And this is how they cooked one of their fish... I though it's quite unique... one day I will try it :D

This is one chilli i think people should try :D I like!!! esp with the duck meat :D

Salted duck egg

I don't actually like this.... my fren like it though... I don't like the saltish taste of the white... I can barely endure the yolk... with lots of spoonfuls of porridge.

Braised egg...

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE eggs that have soft centre... :P if i am not in a public place, I would just pick up the plate and lick the yolk off :p hehehe

Braised Duck meat and fish cake...

These are things I would definitely ordered if I am having Teochew porridge. :P but I felt that the duck slices are not fatty enough. I prefer and LOVE my ducks FAT! and with lots of FAT! ANIMAL FAT!!! :p give me give me GIVE ME!!!

And steamed fish cake :) I like I like I like :D I think that steamed fish cake is better than fried ones... :D

Braised Duck, fish cake and Tau Kwa Pau

Tau Kwa Pau

Salted Veggies

this is the usual fare... :D so nothing big.

I like the attitude of this stall. We don't need to earn too much, just enough. I feel the food should speak for themselves and not advertisments... :P I definitely will give this stall another try. Maybe bring more frens along... so we can order more stuffs to try :D

Till next time...

Teochew kueh 潮式粿品 - (2nd Dec 2008)

Sister got these from someone... didn't tell me where... must find out... one of the kueh was great!! These were HOMEMADE! and they would only sell IF someone ordered alot and they do extras.





The three types which my sister managed to get... :D

饭桃 (Png Kueh)

This was surprisingly good... I love the way they had prepared this dish... it's white and not pink like the normal Png Kueh...

韭菜粿 (Chinese Chives Kueh)

I usually loooove this kueh... but unforunately they were not as good as the ones I would usually get.

笋粿 (Soon Kueh)

I also like this. Cause usually they would put alot of turnips and very little shrimps... But I am glad that this was done with enough turnips and most important of all... enough little shrimps :D *yummy*

Given a chance, I might order more... :)

Piao Ji Fish Porridge (17th Nov 2008)

A Teochew style fish soup!!!

okie... I am on a budget lately.... so I basically have to cut down on my spending esp on food :P so my friend jio (asked) me out for fish soup....

And this is what he recommended. As it was a rainy day... might be the reason why the queue was shorter than usual....

Look at the different awards they had got !

Here are some of the sauces they give along with their soup...

The Uncle who cook each individual bowl upon order! Because it's only cooked one bowl at a time and upon order... it would take longer than alot of places... esp when the uncle only have 1 pot on the stove at a time... but the Q moved quite quickly and the nice auntie who would chit chat with us made the wait bearable :D

look at the steamy hot soup!

And my fish and prawn soup! *yummy*

The best part of the soup

I think this stall is not too bad... but I still prefer the one at maxwell

Yi Jia Teochew Fish Soup@ Maxwell Market (18th Oct 2008)

After announcing the 2nd theme to the Photo Marathon..... the group of us decided that Chinatown would be where we will go... So ... Chinatown... I am was looking for something soupy...


1st of 3 parts lunch @ maxwell market... Fish Slices soup.... cause most of the other fishy stuffs are sold out... :P



The nice uncle cooking my fish slice soup...





Raw Fish Slices - Some of these went into my soup...






The Sauces that can go along with the fish soup....supposed to take away the fishy taste... but i didn't taste any of those tastes....





My pathetic bowl of rice... Cause I know I am ordering some other stuffs... I didn't want to stuff myself with plain rice, when I have so many other choices available.



My Bowl of fantastically good fish soup... this would be the place I go for, should I want any clear teochew style fish soup *yummy* delicious indeed.






If you are in that Maxwell area, and would like something light and tasty.. or even something with lots of Lards (which I had plenty dump into my soup), try this Yi Jia Teochew Fish Soup stall :D
I would advise anyone to go early... or you might miss out all the good parts that I had... *sobs*
