It's amazing what we find hidden amongst dreary housing estates. I was just trudging along after lunch one day when I came upon what surely must be the mother-of-all-eggtarts. It was an old-school bakery with a shelf filled with the most incredibly huge egg tarts I've ever seen.

Period.

It's so huge its almost the size of an average ricebowl (my thumb is nearer to the camera than the tart, so its not to scale, doh!)

And then, there was the time we went to Parkway for the good ol' Mee Rebus. $3 and chock full of everything Mee Rebus should contain, if you don't mind the owner's own take on the historical dish which now comes with black sauce and a very practical-factory-style kind of presentation. Still, a tummy-filler.

This is the amount left after she's done with it.

The long, ardous road to completion

And then, the other night before heading down to the Liang Seah Street dessert shop, we had dinner at this Purvis Street place selling 'authentic' beef noodles. The sand-looking thing is really just ground peanut.

I don't know very much about this dish, though this stall claims to have been around for the past like, 3-4 decades so, I guess if there is a definitive 'authentic' beef hor fun, it's found at Purvis Street.

Yay, going to Hong Kong (cafe) on wednesday...

Peace out~

Ps: My office people are totally freaked by the no-smoking ban which was enforced today. Haha.
