[Singamalay Part 3] Katong Laksa Prawn Mee 加東叻沙蝦麵

[Singamalay Part 3]
Went there on a Tuesday, after the pouring rain!!!!

A very busy restaurant located in Wanchai, seemingly more well known than the previous two.

Ordered the Traditional Mee Siam, the Beef Rendang and cold Barley water.

Beef Rendang:
Beef lumps in coconut milk which I didn't really like it, I found it very smelly as if the milk had gone off.
The rice was rather soggy.

Mee Siam:
OOOOh I really love this dish!! Thin rice vermicelli was used, and it was mixed in some sort of spices, anyway the soup base with really refreshing, and zingy, slightly sour and strong in a spicy sense.
The prawn tasted very fresh and there was orange matter in its head.

[Singmalay Part 2] YEOH'S BAH KUT TEH 楊氏肉骨茶

[Singmalay Part 2]
Went here because Sing Ma Restaurant was under refurbishment.

Ordered their house special: Laksa, and the Bah Kut Teh (original).

Laksa:
The soup was strong with coconut, nicely flavoured, not too rich and not too spicy.
The noodles in the laksa was a mixture of rice vermicelli and "oil noodles".
Anyway there were lots of other standard things on the laksa, such as beancurd, prawns,etc.
Personally I liked the soup, but I disliked the noodles, because they don't really soak up the soup, so quite tasteless.

Bah Kut Teh:
There were many versions offered here which was good, especially for non pork eaters. The soup was flavoured just right, not too strong or salty.
To me there was a strong taste of chinese mushrooms (shiitake).
The ribs that came were a little dry, or maybe cos they have been in the pot for quite some time.

I can't believe it! This was supposed to be one of my first pieces for the Singmalay series.
I came all the way to try Sing Ma Food Restaurant, and it's under refurbishment!
Luckily I have done my research and there is an alternative around Jordan called Buk Keh Teh or something like that!!!
