Makan Makan One of the reasons for me to setup a blog site, is to share. Share something nice. For today’s post, it means food.
I went to Adam Food Centre yesterday, for the famous Prawn Noodle.
Great food. I love the soup, especially with the chili powder. my sis told me they cooked it with crab. (no wonder it taste great, I’m a crab lover!)
Beside prawn noodle, they also serve crabs. And all the crabs have lots of egg. $10 each, worth it!
This is my dinner, $15. Super sinful. 1 Crab, 2 medium-sized-prawn, Bee Hoon (Chinese Vermicelli) Mee (Noodle) and yummy soup.
More details? Go to Adam Road Food Centre (the star), check out the store with the longest queue. (sometime the Nasi Lemak have a long queue too, but to me, this prawn noodle is the best!)
Got this map from the new StreetMap@Singapore. Seems like SLA is trying to make life difficult for streetdirectory.com (who was busy sending out lawyer letters previously).

Makan Makan,
echoes in a bowl Anyone with a sweet-tooth please try this.
I had this chocolate soufflé and a flour-less chocolate cake (I can’t control myself, I finished it without taking any photo.) Oh ya, if you can take sour apple, try their apple pie, then you’ll know apple pie is meant to be sour!
Wonderful stuff. Must try!

Makan Makan,
echoes in a bowl 
SM and I went to Vis-A-Vis (page is not up-to-date) on her birthday. We had a wonderful dinner.
We went there last year, and she loves the dessert there. So this year, as she’s so stress with her school work (exam next week!), I decided to bring her back there and enjoy her favourite dessert!
It’s a great french restaurant. The owners are french food lovers and they told us, last year, that they’ll go to France few times a year to visit the restaurants there, and get some inspiration for their quarterly updated menu. If you visit their restaurant, you’ll see lots of pictures of France, some french chef and, of course, themselves.
We had escargots, mushroom soup and crayfish soup for entrees. I changed SM’s impression of “snails” after I brought her around tasting the good one, 
SM had fish from the Set Menu and I had lobster. The fish is great. The chef rolled the fish fillet and filled it with crab meat, salmon and spinach. I can’t help but keep snatching from SM’s plate.
After the fish and lobster, we looked at each others and said: “Hmm.. here come the Main Dish..”. That’s very true. You can’t call any restaurant a french restaurant, if they don’t serve good dessert. And Vis-A-Vis, they simply serve the best. On our table, we have Tiramisu from the set menu, and Choc Torte. There are 3 items in Choc Torte: Rum & Raisin Ice Cream, Banana Flambé with caramel & coconut and a chocolate mousse cake (I’m not sure of the name. It’s those cake which is freshly baked and the exterior is cake and hot chocolate mousse inside). This combination is awesome. The Flambé just melt in your mouth! Oh man, I am missing it already.
Happy Birthday, Dear. Hope you had a great dinner & birthday!!
