Go Green, Eat GreenDot

If you feel that vegetarian food is bland, boring and feels like just eating flour, GreenDot is here to prove you wrong. Started by co-founders, Fu Yong Hong and Justin Chou, this start up began from a flagship stall in Temasek Polytechnic's Design School and went on to expand to Tanjong Katong Girls' School and finally, a more public appearance at Bedok Mall last November. Want to know what these pair of inspiring brothers has to offer? 

Hello handsome GreenDot co-founder and my friends (:
I used to work at their flagship stall at TP. I love all the food they serve and even takeaway leftovers home sometimes! The first time i ate GreenDot's food was the bento sets ( see 2nd pic) at my NUS camp and they only do delivery and catering back then. I fell in love with it. And since i do not want to waste food, i had 7 packets of it! ( without the rice of course ) but still a lot right! Huge fan as you can tell by now. Okay enough of stories, let's move on to the food!

First up will be the Laksa which C loves it so much! Me too actually, but i was really too full from our previous meal that we only managed to share one. Nevertheless, the gravy was thick and very tasty despite no seafood or meat used to brew this quality soup base. You get to choose either the fat yellow noodles or the thick noodles, we got a mixture. There's some gluten fish balls and tau pok in there. To be honest, without them will be fine too! Healthier choice of laksa for the calorie-conscious!

The bento sets are categorized into several colour zones and they are to differentiate the types of ingredients that goes with your rice. You might like to check with the friendly helpers or the boss to find out which of those suits your diet best. Must tries are the soya fish, mutton curry and the konnyaku dishes. Brown rice is available. So far, i have yet to taste anything that is bland. One thing i must comment is that the dishes are all cooked ala-minute. Either of the co-founders will do the cooking at the spot. You will have the honour to watch these young and talented cooks hard at work while gobbling down their guilt-free food :) Love the dried chilli they have at the counters, do top some on your food if you prefer them spicy!

There are three types of sauces for the burgers namely, black pepper, tomato and herbs, mayo & yogurt. I've tried the latter two. If you ask me, tomato & herbs is definitely a must-try when you're there. Some says better than Macdonalds, Mos Burger or Carls Jr. Depends what you see in a good burger :D For me, i think their standards for a meat-free meal definitely win the rest of the carnivorous competitors hands down. Look at that sauce spilling out of the burger, they're really generous. Ask for extra gravy and they will be more than happy to accede to your request!

Now that they have ventured into malls, i think it's also time to expand beyond the east side of Singapore. Really look forward to what these innovative founders are up to! 

Hence, I'm definitely going back for more, it's never enough at GreenDot. 

Prices here ranges from $5 - $8 per set meal. Have a go at the mango pudding if you are craving for something sweet.

People's Park Complex hidden treasures

I know it can be frustrating if you can't make up your mind between the three roasted meat stalls and four other dim sum stalls. They all look the same but you know surely one of those stalls is the famous one which your grandparents and parents grew up eating.  Today, I'd introduce to you one of the best dimsum and roast meats non-restaurant style, together with some new findings in the current People's Park Complex.  It has been a long while since I last wowed at the dimsum before me. The stall only displays a pathetic number of dishes in the glass cabinet as compared to Ho Kee which display a wide myriad of choices. Yet... 道记(Chop Hean Kuan) 's dimsums sells like hot cakes. The price range is not large, cheapest at 90c for items like the ugly looking yet tempting siew mai, egg tarts and 韭菜角, the most expensive item is 2 bucks for the 糯米鸡. The mini char siew bao was heaven. I seldom fancy this because it feels  often feels like eating marinated card board.

Little India Food Trail

Every time i head to Little India or Farrer Park, i will have a headache thinking about what to eat there. Besides Banana Leaf Apollo which is a luxury, or the Komala Vilas because you see them at every corner? Would you have thought Little India could also have some good Chinese hawker cuisine to offer?  JOURNEY STARTS HERE! That day a friend posted on my wall 'South Buona Vista Road Duck Rice Returns' and it just so happens to be located 5 minutes walk from Farrer Park Mrt Station... Not surprising, i expected to see a flock of old and new customers alike after the newspaper feature. But there was no queue! If you have been to the Hup Seng Duck Rice at Sin Ming Road, you will know what i mean. Nevertheless, i was still eager to try for myself what brings this 'Famous Teochew Duck Rice' back to town.  The auntie was waiting for me to order ( yes, not the order way round ) and i told her i wanted a set for 1 pax, with the brown rice. She told me it was

Korean BBQ Restaurant a.k.a Ssikkek BBQ

Many of you should have been to this or its SISTER BRANCH - 2D1N Soju Bang at Tanjong Pagar. Those who did not realise that they are opened by the same group, now you know. They serve the same varieties of meat but admittedly, 2D1N has much lesser overall types of food and drinks with a more crammed and smoky indoor sitting area. You either have to go at least 30 minutes before to queue or you will probably end up waiting for 2 hours for a table. Prices are the same at  $12+ for lunch, and $22+ for dinner. Ssikkek at Novena Ville has shifted to United Square  101 Thomson Road, #B1-15/16/17 Singapore 307591 if you are wondering if it has closed down.  Other outlets i have yet to go are as follows:  1. #02-01, Bras Basah Complex, 231 Bain Street 2. 10 Tampines Central 1,  #04-22/24 Tampines 1 3. #01-01, Oriental Plaza, 291 New Bridge Road Apparently, all the outlets differ in their types of cooked food. Some has sushi, gyoza, 3-4 types of soup, while the others might have swee
