AMK Kakis. FR for new eatery along Ave 4

[Qpik]

Shortly after the discovery of dimsum at Blk 108, St 11. I found out another shop that took over the famous bak kut teh shop. Now it is called Bai Jia Yuan Cai Guan (Blk 108, AMK Ave 4, #01-84)

 

I decided to give this shop a try yesterday night. I ordered the following items:-

1) Fried french beans with dried shrimps

2) Sweet & sour pork-small

3) Foo Yong Tan-small

4) Salted Veg Soup-small

5) Diced chicken-small

6) Salted fish fried rice-medium

 

The damage plus 3 canned drinks came up to $35.64 (4 pax) after 10% disc. This shop is run by a China couple. Not sure whether it was a gimmick or truth when they said they have run out of white rice thereby we have to opt for fried rice. Overall the dishes not too salty. Lady Boss came and asked for feedback. Truthfully speaking, for that price, cannot complain. If you just want to fill your stomach, this is do-able but if you want tasty food at slightly higher price, can go to Hao Xiang Seafood (豪乡海鲜小厨) at Blk 158, Ang Mo Kio Ave 4.

 

This morning, I went to check out Alif Corner Restaurant 24Hrs besides the 7-11 convenience store. They are located directly opposite Blk 172, AMK Ave 4.

 

I tried 2 kosong prata, 1 puttu mayam & 1 teh tarik kurung manis which came up to $3.00.

 

The prata is a little overdone, not cripsy but browned yet still soft & hot once you sink your teeth into it. The mutton curry that accompanied it was spicy but a little too watery.

 

For the puttu mayam, it is not that fresh and they run out of coconut so I had to make do with just the orange sugar. For those who had tried freshly made hot pipping puttu mayam before, this one taste more like 1 day old puttu mayam.

 

The teh tarik is more like susu tarik with colouring and I think sugar is very cheap nowadays despite asking for kurang manis.

 

This shop is for those who want their prata fix yet don't want to travel to Jln Kayu which is abt 20mins drive +/-. If you hv a certain expectations of how you like yr prata, then this is definitely not the place for you. As for service, haiz, be prepared to remind the blokes abt yr order otherwise they will gather at one corner & start to chatter away.

Today I tried the roti prata at Blk 107, AMK Ave 4. There are 2 coffee shops in this block. The coffeeshop that this prata stall is located is besides Blk 104B.

 

I tried kosong and found that it is not overcooked, soft & most critical hot to bite into. Basically, it is so tasty that you can eat it on it's own. The downside is that they only hv 1 kind of curry & that is mutton. I tasted the curry & ate some mutton bits. I found it just right, tender & extremely juicy. My CO tried the egg prata and gave a thumbs up sign for the chewy & not too oily aftertaste. Will be going back to try more of the dishes especially since I found out that it open just over a year.
