07/01/08 – KF Seetoh of Makansutra ate my Taiwanese Beef Noodle

It was around 5.15pm when food guru K.F. Seetoh appeared and ordered a bowl of my beef noodle. I was delighted and honoured that he ate my beef noodle.

After he ate it, he said…

I shouldn’t disclose what he said since it was spoken in confidence besides I didn’t get his permission to divulge it. You’ll find out about what he thinks of my food eventually.

Many thanks for trying my beef noodle, Seetoh.

See you again.

BTW: I didn't wash the bowl and chopsticks that he ate with, and they are now (somewhat moldy) proudly displayed in my home's showcase. I plan to auction them off in e-bay to the highest bidder later after I have them DNA-certified that it is Seetoh’s saliva that’s on them. I am kidding here because I had washed them just like the other bowls. :o)

27/01/08 - Tangkak Beef Noodle, Melaka

I read on the web that the original one is found in Tangkak, the others are copycats.

Nonetheless I give the "copycat" below a try because the Malaccans seem to like it.

Tmn Melaka Raya, Melaka.

All the same I can’t wait to try it.

Come back for my comments of it and pics of this dish….

Update: 28/01/08 – Apology didn’t have the chance to eat it when we were up there. But will do it the next time we are there.

29.12.07 - Found! Good Pho Bo in Singapore, Lor 42 Geyland Rd

I believe I have found good Pho Bo in Singapore!

The beef slices are tender and flavorful. The broth is tasty and rich. Add fish sauce to it and it tastes even better. I like it.

After eating it I told one of the ladies "ang ong" which means "delicious" in Vietnamese and she smiled delightedly.

Price: $5.00 a bowl, I wish they gave me more noodles.
I will ask for it the next time round.

They got a Singapore Food Map Award for their fine culinary skill.

This Vietnamese food stall occupies the front corner of the coffeeshop. The Chinese-speaking Vietnamese ladies, who are married to local Singaporeans, run this joint. It is opposite the Rochor Soya Bean Curd stall.

P.S. I still think the Pho Bo I had in Salt Lake City cooked by a Vietnamese woman is the best that I have tried thus far but this one is still very good. Eat already your body feels good and I am doubtful if they added MSG, if any, into the soup.

Backdated to 24.12.07 – Lo Han Guo herbal drink, Melaka

This guy’s Lo Han Guo (herbal) drink with longan pulp is very good. He has been in biz for over twenty years. It is concentrated and tasty. Drink it ice-cold on a hot day, after a meal, or just to wash away your “heatiness”. Guarantee you will come back again for another shot either immediately or on another day.

His pushcart is located next to an alley, next to a watch shop, in the front of Mimosa Hotel at Bunya Raya.

Bowl RM 1.00
