Chai Chee Noodle Village 菜市肉脞面 is famous for its bah chor mee (minced pork noodles) and has over 10 outlets around Singapore. The stall I patronised is located at Fu Chan Kopitiam (Blk 727 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6).
The dish consisted of mee pok (flat yellow noodle), bah chor (minced pork), sliced lean pork, sliced pig's liver, pork meatballs, lettuce, stewed shitake mushrooms and a bowl of soup with seaweed. Many people say that Chai Chee serves the best minced pork noodles. But personally I disagree, at least for this outlet. The vinegar fragrance was missing and there was not enough pork lard. Though the ingredients used were fresh and well-cooked, the overall taste was quite disappointing. Perhaps this outlet does not maintain the usual high standard.

This stall is located at Chinatown Food Centre #02-032. It should not be confused with the char kway teow stall of the same name at Bedok South (no relation). http://yummymatters.blogspot.com/2009/03/char-kway-teow-hill-street-char-kway.html
The dish was moist and savoury, but somehow lacked the right sweetness for char kway teow. The kway teow was too soggy for my liking and the cockles were not too fresh. The char kway teow at Bedok South is much better.

Ah Seng Braised Duck Rice 亚盛卤鸭饭 stall is located at Serangoon Garden Market & Food Centre stall number 44. I ordered a one-person set meal, which consisted of a bowl of plain rice with dark sauce, sliced braised duck and a bowl of vegetable soup. I also added to my order a stewed egg, braised duck innards and braised pig's ears.
The plain rice was slightly soggy but the thin and savoury dark sauce made up for it. The sliced duck meat was tender, moist and aromatic. The combined taste of duck meat, rice and vinegar chilli was so yummy. The stewed egg and pig's ears were good, but the braised duck innards were too salty for me. The vegetable soup was flavourful. Overall it was a very enjoyable meal.

Mei Heng 美兴酿豆腐 is located at kopitiam in Plaza By The Park. If I am around the vicinity, I will patronise this yong tau foo stall. Long queues during lunch and dinner hours. Many varieties of fresh raw and cooked ingredients to choose from.
I preferred the soup version. The soup had a strong soya bean aroma, with a tasty sweetness. I chose yellow noodles with ingredients such as beancurd stick, stuffed deep-fried tofu, fried dumplings, ngoh hiang, cuttlefish and kang kong. The sweet sauce and chilli sauce were good.

The annual event BeerFest Asia was here in Singapore again. It was held at the Singapore Flyer from 29th April to 3rd May 2009 (www.beefestasia.com). My friends and I wanted to check out what were the new beer stalls available this year and hoped to try some of our favourites.
