how about the bus mee rubus? i like the one at marine parade food court and bedok hawker center

The mee rebus at Bedok HC? Are you referring to Upp Changi Road HC Blk 58? If so, yes. It's economical and definitely value for $$$. Prices - $1.20, $1.5 up to $2.0 per plate. Weekends usually finished before 1-1.30 p.m. if not earlier.

Marine Parade - where? Maybe originated from Siglap?

Have tried any good mee goreng? Got chance to recommend?

By this, I presume you to mean "tapioca"? If so, it should be a good alternative to the flour and will give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

BTW, any idea where I can get a coconut grater because often coconut in packets or from market/provision shops are not as fresh as if you do it on your own. Used to have one but somehow lost (when moving house) which was in galvanised steel purely for grating.

 

Yes, sorry, Tapioca. Grated coconut, only commercial ones, not worth it, go to the wet markets, they have WHITE grated coconut for kuay kuay. Open packetand keep in chiller till you need to use it. (within a day or next still fine. The manual grater can be found in Gelany Serai, I don't know if it's still sold there now, I still have mine, hand down, along with love letter cast and kuay pie tee maker as well. Kuay pie tee is a killer to make 100-200 cups.

Hi Ray, Thank you very much for the relevant link.

Ajimer Sharif - Block 665 Buffalo Road, Tekka Centre, #01-25 looks good. Will have to try. Guess this is one of the few which Donut refers to.

Thanks again! and have a nice weekend!

1) Been there but couldn't find. Will continue to search because it beats buying grated coconut outside.

2) Love letter & kueh pie tee cast - Yeah. The ones in brass?

3) Kueh pie tie - I am still privileged for home made ones. Only the effort to create the cups can be a killer and time consuming if you want it to look nice to appeal to the eyes. Also, it should not be thick. Factory made ones cannot match lah.

Cheers!

The love letters and pie tee moulds are made of cast iron, not brass.

If making Pie tee cups, you have to go the whole damn mile bro. the amount of oil used to make the cups,

if you make like 50, don't even bother, doesn't justify, also, 50 don't LAST more then 2mins. know.

commercial ones have a weird smell, the oil used doesn't cut it, and it's not fresh.

 

Believe they were known as : Kukor nyur or close to that tune.

 

 

 

Hahaha! Here! They sell it still.

1) The cups are always done by wife. We avoid buying outside and yes, we do more and keep for own consumption. For info, if the cups are somewhat soft because it's container is not airtight, you can revive its crispiness by heating them up them in a toaster.

2) What picture is that? Didn't come across one before

3) Grater - Not the same and we used to have. Can you post a pic of yours? Perhaps, I can recognise if it is similar to the one I have in mind.

Btw, do you still use grengseng to make agar agar, sesagoon etc..?

Thanks!

Usually, I don't want following in my mee goreng:

a) meat

b) corn

c) cabbage

d) sunny side up

e) any form of seafood meat - fishcake, prawns etc..

Green chillies must be well fried together with the mee goreng instead of using it as a topping.

I will also ask for dry rather than wet mee goreng. Some will understand while other may not. Those who understand will also ensure that it's not too oily.

Problem is often the quality of ingredients they use. For e.g., some chilli sauce are too salty and not spicy. Should be spicy, yet not salty. Different grades of tomato sauce too. Some too sweet while some are just not sweet which is good for the mee goreng.

Just sharing based on my experience with good and not good mee goreng.

Doesn't look like it. What is CK? Closest to Clementi Ave 2 mentioned was by StefanK Post No. 6 but that was at Clementi Ave 4.

Can provide the block if not the address? Thanks!

Long thread, but since you have the list of ingredients that make a good Mee Goreng, maybe you can try also making the mee goreng yourself. Then you can put whatever ingredients you desired.

 

I am guessing the red sause is a little more tricky, but I am sure you can find an Indian friend to show you how it is made. Then the rest will be experimenting I guess.

 

Now that you listed the ingredient, I may try it myself. 60-70 is not my era, so I can't comment on the taste, but I see how I can do it.

 

 

I did a search & there are quite many links to cooking the Indian style Mee goreng.

 

Like this video. Ok liao, I will buy noodles & ingredients & try to make it over the weekend.

Indeed from time to time, I've fried my own mee goreng lah. Better than some I get at some stalls but have yet to get the same taste which I used to get. There can be are many reasons for this. If you have the opportunity, I recommend you try based on the ingredients provided and don't forget the black sauce. It should not be sweet but salty one. The frying must be long enough to be sufficiently dry and must not be too oily.

Anyway, cooking can only be done when time is available and not always practical.

Sometimes, it's good to pay without the need to go through the hassle PROVIDED the taste is worth its value. Personally, I don't mind paying more if the food satisfies me as I

[Forgot2bme]

Anybody tried the indian stall at tampines prime foodcourt S11.. Always long queue!
