The noodles have to be SPRINGY. It’s so important!

Squid + mango stuffed dough fritters with mayo. I’m not sure if my description is entirely accurate, all I remember is that it was yummy!

Fried dough fritters

Their signature (I think!) BBQ fish… it’s salty in the right places

“Baby” kai lan stir-fried with garlic. We order this all the time whenever we eat at Chinese eateries.. it’s not a particularly sophisticated dish or anything, but it’s really amazing

White pepper crab — this is amazing, and SO MUCH BETTER than chilli crab or black pepper crab!

Another photo. It’s piping hot

There was more food, but the photos were too crappy.

Long Beach Seafood Restaurant, East Coast Parkway. They underwent renovation recently, so the restaurant’s a little less “beachy” now, and somewhat posher… prices have also gone up accordingly, methinks :)

Grandma’s home cooking

Minus the giant prawns, plus lots of fried lard!

The bigger bowl was my father’s, I think ;)

Fatty roast pork ;-)

Prawns fried in batter!!!

Leeks and shrimp

Fried egg with prawns and tomato

Prawns and stuff wrapped in cabbage

Fatt choy (some kind of hairy vegetable that means prosperity in Cantonese), abalone and other crap

Veggie and bacon with mayo — some really weird thing my grandma cooked up. It tasted…interesting :P

And finally — the yu sheng (raw fish platter), or lou hei

Oooh..and almost forgot the glutinous balls my sister badgered my grandma to make

My grandma’s cooking is as delicious as it is greasy :)

Getting ready for Chinese New Year!

Homemade ones taste the best… or so my mother says ;)

The finished products!

Tai Hwa bak chor mee. I don’t like minced meat noodles, but the rest of my family does, and they claim this is the best!

Crispy noodles with sliced fish (“sang mein”, or 生面). I eat this all the time when I have meals at coffeeshops/hawker centres (this is from Kong Wai tze char, which serves up pretty decent tze char dishes)

Chwee Kueh. I ‘ve been eating from this stall — Jian Bo Shui Kueh — since I was a kid. It’s the best in Singapore!

Both stalls are located at Tiong Bahru Food Centre
