French Toast 4.5/5

The French Toast ($8.50) came with 3 slices of raisin bread soaked thoroughly with egg and topped with chunks of strawberry and banana. The seared golden french toast was moist and fluffy. The french toast itself was already so awesome that I am happy to leave out the marmalade and maple syrup.

That hand holding the maple syrup pot looks nice, with well manicured fingernails.

Continuing my quest to eat all the Thai food in Singapore, I visited Ah Loy Thai in Shaw Tower, a small eatery that serves economical and delicious Thai dishes. Opened by an old couple whom the wife is a Thai, this restaurant has been around for about 7-8 years.

We came at 5pm for dinner so as to skip the dinner crowd. Even so, there were already some early diners and we have to wait for a while before the food arrived.

One of Ah Loy Thai’s signature dishes is Butter Calamari ($8.50). If you like butter crabs, this will definitely knock your socks off. The calamari is fried well with a good crunch. It is then dripped with butter and chilli which will whet your appetite. For your information, Ah Loy Thai makes their own sauces everyday. And if the sauces run out for that day, you probably won’t get a chance to eat some dishes.

My favourite in this meal is the Pad Thai ($5.90). Ah Loy’s Pad Thai is dry and sweet, with generous amount of eff, tofu, bean sprouts, prawns, peanuts and chilli. Very flavourful. I love it so much that I went back a week after to eat it.

Another typical Thai food – Tom Yam Seafood Soup ($7.50) packs with fiery goodness. The soup is generous with seafood such as fish, prawns and sotong.

If the soup is too spicy for you, have a glass of Thai Iced Tea($1.60). For such an unassuming restaurant located at Shaw Tower, it’s quite amazing to see queues during dinner time. Reservations are recommended.

The man who has been cooking at Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice (#01-10) for more than 20 years has set up his own place – Ah-Tai Hainanese Chicken Rice (#01-07), just three stalls away from his former employer at Maxwell Road Food Centre.
A chicken rice war broke out when the cook behind Tian Tian Chicken Rice, Mr Wong, was sacked last October. Upset at being sacked after 20 years behind the stove, Mr Wong opened his own stall in the same food centre after 4 months later.

After people find out that he has set up shop nearby, many make a beeline for it. Judging from the snaking queues at Ah-Tai Hainanese Chicken Rice when we were there last Saturday for lunch, it seems to be winning.
Taste-wise, Ah-Tai’s chicken is more tender, juicy and has a smoother texture, which is definitely better than Tian Tian.
The rice is grainy and fragrant but I felt it was too dry for my liking.
As for the chilli sauce, Tian Tian’s chilli sauce is a winner for me because it has more tangy kick. Ah Tai’s chilli was much thicker and more spicy.
Prices at Ah Tai starts at $2.50 a plate, compared to $3 at Tian Tian.

So if you are in Maxwell Food Centre, try both chicken rice and compare notes. Tell me which one you like better!

Ah Yee’s Soon Kueh
I was there 3 times before I managed to have a piece of soon kueh.
First time, the soon kueh was sold out.
Second time, I have to wait for 30 minutes for the soon kueh, but I was in a rush.
So I gave it a miss. Third time, I waited for 20 minutes for my soon kueh.
But it was all worth the wait. As I sat with thehungrycow in front of the stall, we see the friendly aunty attending to many customers, while rolling the dough and making the soon kueh.
“Making soon kueh used to be my hobby. But now, it has become my source of income.”she says, with a smile.
As I see Ah Yee mixes all the glutinous rice flour and tapioca flour skilfully with her hands, my stomach growled.
“Next time, call and reserve your soon kueh!”she reminded me. Her soon kuehs were so popular that, it was 3pm (low peak period) when I went and it was still sold out once it was out of the steamer.

No doubt. Who doesn’t love freshly made soon kuehs?
Using fresh ingredients such as black fungus, dried shrimps, Chinese mushrooms and bamboo shoots, the soon kueh was steamed for 10 minutes or so before the skin turned slightly translucent and ready to be eaten. Ah Yee was very generous with the fillings. Each and every soon kuehs were fat and filled to the brim. Drizzle abit of sweet sauce and chilli, I slowly savour my piece of soon kueh. Each piece was only $0.90.

And how I can only eat that when I have waited for so long? Of course, I ordered their rice kueh ($1) and pumpkin kueh ($1) too.

Loving every bits of it!
