Sumo Big Prawn - nice but could be better

I’ve been wanting to try this prawn stall for the longest time but couldn’t because of the extremely long queues or the prawn noodle is sold out. Hubs gives it a thumbs up, so must try since i am usually the person who likes the soupy food. 

Today is my chance to try it. The cheapest option of $5 is not available so I decided to try the $8 prawn mee hoon. 

The serving of lalas and 3 big size prawns is pretty impressive. However, you need to get your hands dirty to eat the prawns. 

The prawns are very fresh and succulent. The shell easily peels off the skin. 

The broth is flavourful but lacks a little punch. I couldn't quite put my finger on it but It lacks the taste of prawn base soup. 

Overall a very enjoyable dish, but its has to be given its $8 price tag.

Magic Kitchen - not your usual cafe

Been patronizing this store for a long long time. Its one of the hidden finds in Ang Mo Kio and only those staying around the area might be aware of this rare gem.

I love their home style soups and will have them on weekends. But they have long cease serving these nourishing soups on weekends.

Menu wise is wide ranging with a mix chinese cum western style breakfast. Meaning you can choose from bread toasts to curry chicken and desserts.

This is not your usual fancy pants cafe. But it does serve great food at fabulous price. The chairs and tables are the portable type that my mum will use. (sorry mum).

I love their zhu chang fen which is soft and tender and the brown gravy is just absolutely delicious. 

Today, I feel like having the peanut butter with chocolate thick toast (guaranteed better than the local branch of dazzling café) and Hubs is having their kueh, yam cake and soon kueh.

The toast is toast to perfection and a good pairing with their local kopi (coffee). If you want to try something more fanciful, you can have a hazelnut coffee that doesn't break a bank.

The yam cake is also above average, soft tender and totally delicious.
