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

Veggie and bacon with mayo — some really weird thing my grandma cooked up. It tasted…interesting ![]()
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 ![]()

Bak chor mee (minced pork noodles)

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 & chwee kueh
January 12, 2008
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
