Full of Luck Club - Prepare to win 4D

Well new year is coming....going to this place gives great vibes.

I told mr FAT that if he this place fail to live up to the hype we go the place i familiar with at Holland Village.

 The dishes are served really fast. Might be attributed to the lack of patrons and there is plenty of seating spaces. The crowd did pick up a bit after 8 pm. Are Singaporeans having their meals later now?

 Golden sand corn with salted egg yolk 金沙玉米 （S$4.80 ). This dish is highly recommended by a blogger. Hence, this is mr FAT must order item. Upon tasting, its simply corn kernels that are coated with salted egg sauce. I'm not too impressed with this dish.

Chilli glazed fried fermented bean paste chicken wings 韩式炸鸡腿 ($8.0) I have no expectations for this dish. Ordered because i was craving for something finger licking and i am pleasantly surprised. The wings are well fried and coated with just the right amount of flour. The meat is juicy and tender.

 Stir fry radish cake with X.O. sauce ,XO酱炒萝卜糕($7.50) This dish is pretty outstanding. The radish is soft and moist on the inside. On the crust its crispy with wok hei. Thumbs up!

Salted egg yolk prawn 金沙虾  (savoury prawns in salted egg sauce, lettuce, fried curry leaves, crushed peanuts and bird's eye chilli), smoked duck 香熏鸭胸 (tender smoked duck breast in tangy sweet sauce, carrot cabbage slaw and spring onion). Bao aka buns option is any 2 for $9.80

I came here primarily for this. I can't forget the little bao i had in Hong Kong. But i am quite sorely dissappointed. Its not bad but it just doesn't live a lasting impression. Mr FAT mentioned that its not on the top of must it food on their menu so i am pretty unfair to them if i am eating this as a mains. ok ok! point noted.

Between the 2 buns, i will repeat my order of  smoked duck because it is more flavourful and all the ingredients works well together.

Tried my first Bi Luo Chun 洞庭碧螺春 $6.50, a light flavoured green tea that complements all the dishes we ordered.

I think i might return here again if i miss Little bao. This is the closest food that is similar in Singapore.

Carpenter and cook - Jasmine Road outlet closed wef from 28 March. One less good cake shop in the North area

I wasn't aware that this shop is slated for closure when i visited on 15 March 2016.  I guess next time if i want to try their nice desserts i will have to make a trip down to Alexandra or Bukit Timah instead. I've only been to first store at Lorong Kilat once in 2014 and i so so loved their Quiche. 

I remembered that my gang of friends are brought to the Lorong Kilat outlet by a my friend when we visited her place at Bukit Batok ( i can still vividly remember the long ride from my home, sat on the mrt till my butt hurts). She told us that the chef graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in London. I was like WAH so cool! (p.s i just started to learn baking then) and Cordon Bleu is a highly prestigious culinary school. And in truth after tasting, all the cakes we tried are top-notch. Still i didn't manage to find my way back till that fateful day on 15 March to the now defunct Thomson outlet.  

While i was there, most of the food is sold out and i was left with limited choice. I finally choose to have the lemon merigue cake and the white rabbit carrot cake with 2 Flat White.

I was a little surprised by the disposal cups for the coffee as i was hoping to admire some artwork but nevertheless its still a very decent cup of coffee. 

The lemon meringue cake is drizzled with sugary lemon coating on top. Cake wise though fluffy but still denser than a chiffon cake. 
Rated: 7.5/10

The carrot cake is refreshing and have very distinct taste from each ingredient like the nuts and carrots etc. 
Rated: 7.5/10

There is limited seating space in fact we took up the only 2 available seats in the cafe. But this is to be expected since this place is meant to be a Takeaway store. As this place is quite inaccessible, parking was also an issue only 2 allocated lots for patrons. I am kinda of sad this place is gone but hopefully there will be more and better food in Thomson area to eat. >_<

P.S. my dear friend if you're reading when can we do something like we did back in 2014? its been a long time. bleah. ;P

Song Zhou Fried Carrot Cake - Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre 松州萝卜糕

I have yet to visit Bedok Interchange Food Centre since it move to the new premises. Its previous location has since been demolished and is now under construction.  

While the new location is more spacious and better ventilated and a better location, accessible from the multi-storey carpark and facing the main Upper changi road. There are still some hiccups. i.e some seating areas have ponding issues and visibly missing tiles (worn out so fast?). 

It took some time to get my bearings to hunt for my favourite western food, bedok Chwee Kueh. I can't seem to locate the goreng pisang stall that i used to frequent after school nor Hollywood the dessert stall? 

Anyway, i decided to try the Song Zhou Fried Carrot Cake as the queue seem to attest that its a gem in the neighbourhood and i always have a weakness for carrot cakes. 

I waited about 20 minutes before its finally my turn and i order the black fried carrot cake with additional prawns at S$4.00. Soon, a piping hot plate of carrot cake is served to me and the aroma is so tantalising.

Rated 8/10

This is definitely a very good plate of carrot cake. All the flavours are so right on the spot. The kueh itself is moist, soft and tender. The sweet dark sauce is pan fried till wok hei. The cook is also not stingy with the crunchy cai po (fermented radish) which makes the dish so much more flavourful.  This is so worthy of the extra calories.
