More than a dozen stalls line this street, and the marinated lamb, chicken and beef get cooking and ready for serving from 7pm on. A famous place with many 'secret' recipes. Lucky for our group, there are some experts in the satay selecting.. This guy prepares the nights special. As this is primarily a Indonesian/Malaysian specialty there is no pork (go to Thailand if you want that). Authentic as you can get in Singapore! Purist my argue that the home countries are better, but seeing the crowds nightly here and you might think other wise. Great Great Great!!
Tender and juicy.. a very local Singapore favorite. Sambal chili on the side for that added spice! I remember the first time I had this... was much better than expected.. eat this in moderation. A definite try in SG!
Theses are a sight!! 2ft/60cm long.. crispy with some sambal and chutney as a dip. Im a fan of dosa.. this was extra crispy & oily... remenescant of potato chips and dip! A nice finishing dish for the evening! Enjoyed by all..
Foodspotting Singapore hosting legend Zupft at this historical hawker center. Great times! 1st food to the table.. these succulent grilles chicken wings. Sticky hands followed.. foodspotters want clean hands for the shutter button-- luckily a uncle selling wetnaps kept coming by. Makan on!
Pla Jalamed. This is the best combination of flavors prepared I've had in a very long time. Delicately steamed or broiled white fish with a myriad of flavors from ginger, garlic, wood ear mushrooms, umeboshi pickled plums, onions in a savory gravy. I wish I had brought a bigger appetite, as this 'out of this world' greatness would have been appreciated more. at $40, I was surprised when the bill was brought, easily the most expensive dish (or meal) I've eaten in a year ..but would consider ordering it again. A new restaurant that delivered high standards on all the dishes ordered. A new favorite on Phuket!
Like many Thai dishes, you either love or it you will pass. This is one of my top 5 for sure, and the perfect execution here easily ranks as one of the best I've ever had. Light fluffy fried catfish.. (yes..fluffy. If you take a fork or spoon to it, it just crumbles! ) with a sour/spicy/sweet mango salad makes for a combination of textures, and flavors unknown to those who've never had the pleasure of sampling this. A Thai specialty this is not always available, was overly excited to see and taste this plate.
Generous portion, with bits of chickpea for protein bites.. An excellent rendition of this commonly ordered dish.
Sour green mango (sour), white onions, sweet local pineapple chunks (sweet) combined with sliced red peppers (spicy) and dried crunchy shrimp (salty) make this salad a definate score. A sourthern Thai speciality done up right.
Wow!! so fresh and the smokey grilled flavors of the sea. Nice large portions here at this popular Phuket restaurant
Creamy goodness, spaghetti and crispy local bacon combine for a nap inducing lunch. A cozy english garden setting at this popular riverside eatery enhances the days experience.
