Ma La Guo @ Bugis Village

Hi readers, just wanna intro this stall to you all. It's Ma La Tang at Bugis Village. I dunno what is the exact address but it's right at the back near Queens Street. Beside this fruit drinks stall there's this small street and the stall is hidden in there.



Comments: I really love the spiciness of the dish. It may be overwhelming spicy for some people but not for me. You can choose the dishes you want. Personally I like things like crab meat, luncheon meat and cabbage. 


But the "star" of the dish is actually the tang hoon. It is super delicious. Be careful when slurping the tang hoon, it's quite slippery so don't get choke. 

Overall review: Do go eat this if you really like spicy ma la stuff. I recommend the dry one. Order a fried wok together with a bowl of rice and it is a comfortable dinner. It's not that expensive too, around $10 for a big wok full of ingredients.

Details of the place: As above in the intro.

Li Bai

Located in Sheraton Towers is this award-winning restaurant: Li Bai. They serve really good dim sum, however the pricing is a bit steep, considering its location to be in a 5-star hotel. Below are a few dishes ordered while I had lunch there with my family one afternoon.


Tapioca Chips

Comments: Their appetizer dish, nice crispy chips.


Foie Gras

Comments: Cooked really nicely. Melt in your mouth and nicely marinated.


Pork Bun With Crispy Skin 3 for $4.80

Comments: Comparable to Tim Ho Wan's bao, but theirs had more filling.


Steamed Chicken Feet in Special Sauce $4.20

Comments: Delicious, well marinated and cooked nicely. Has a sweet taste and melt in your mouth feeling when chewing on it.


Steamed Scallops Dumplings 3 for $6.60

Comments: Not bad, sweet tasting and nice.


Steamed Rice Rolls with Shrimp $6.80

Comments: So-so dish. Order only if you like beancurd


"Forgot what's the name of this dish

Comments: Nice dish with fresh and delicious fish.


Steamed Stuffed Fish Maw with Shrimps Paste $10

Overall Review: Nice food overall but expensive. Nice ambience too.
