Cut my finger trying to remove gristle and also burnt my thumb while browning due to oil splash. Knn. 

 

looks like it put up a good fight

 you already not happy with the meat so you didn't cook it with a happy willing mood, hence injured yourself along the way.

This is true, no matter what you do, if you do not do it with a happy willing mood, very high chance would make mistake or injured yourself. I have experience so many times.

Porridge and clay pot rice at a1

porridge is edible

claypot rice is bad. Chicken is dry and over cooked, don’t feel fresh. Lup Cheong has a stale oily taste

Had this kway chup on Styrofoam tray at T3 yesterday, a big turn off in term of food presentation. I thought we are doing away with Styrofoam packing for environmental purpose? 

T3 basement kopitiam?

They have be using plastic container instead of a proper bowl or plate before open up to live with Covid. 

Now they still not yet return to normal bowl even for dine in?

The last time I tried A1 porridge was years ago. Cos that time, porridge had so much msg that I kept drinking water to clear taste and satisfy thirst. 

The memory is a big mental block, still no motivation to jump over. Think reason could be cos I heavier now. 

😁😂😂😂

I quite like A1 when they first had a branch near my house around early to mid 2000s. I had it almost every Fri night as a late night dinner.

Porridge was so chockful with scallop shreds and many many liao as I always order the teng zhai porridge. Cheap then as well. Really VFM.

Then they closed that branch and upgraded themselves to malls and also upgraded their prices by at least 2x. Sibei expensive. But I tried their porridge again during Covid. Still quite nice but not as much liao. And super not VFM because so expensive.

I think the last time I went to A1 before this was more than 5 years ago.

They used to be pretty good, lotsa dried scallop in the porridge, and I favor the 3 egg porridge (salted egg, century egg and regular egg).

Till they started added the salted egg white in with the salted egg yolk. Whether as filler or otherwise, it just make the whole thing overly saltish.

Fast forward to today, they use the shallow claypot now rather than the ol' taller claypot. portion seem less. dried scallop also less. still some salted egg white.

It's edible, but not something that I would purposefully go and eat.

rather I see @Silver_bladefish and chips and got craving liao.

I think they pivoted to the wrong strategy of going into malls where the rents are much higher. Of course, there are other challenges like labor crunch and the recent general price increase for almost everything. But their popularity had already waned for some years before this. Their branches are always empty when I walked past because the food is not worth it anymore.

Malaysia to halt chicken exports and abolish import permits for wheat

Quote

Chicken is the most widely consumed meat in Singapore, with a per capita consumption of 36kg in 2020, according to data from the Singapore Food Agency.

The Republic imports more than a third of its chicken supply from Malaysia.

Global warming. Hot weather ask me to eat porridge, I'd rather not eat... 

Even though my family likes sin heng kee porridge which is affordable, I've not eaten for two months already. Lol.
