Food Tour 66: Bras Basah Complex - Part 2

It is not just the variety of shops that was interesting (though you probably won't walk in to all, I will probably do another post separate on why we lack courage to walk into art galleries.) the food there was really intriguing too!




I am not sure about you, but I don't really know much about their culture/ food. All I know was Hainanese Chicken Rice. All Things Hainanese is really quite a must-try cos heritage food like these are quite hard to find in Singapore. When we stepped into their shop, we were hit by a strong waft of ginger which knocked the husband and my daughter out. Sure enough all their food contain a lot of ginger and coconut (except the ang ku kueh). We tried the Yi Bua, Chinese Fevervine Dessert and their Ang Ku Kueh. The former 2 is a good to try for me, but maybe cos I am not a Hainanese, my taste buds are not wired for me. Their Ang Ku Kueh is the same as what we normally get outside, but their skin is really thin and mochi-like. One of the better few. Although not every item is up my alley, I am still highly intrigued and can't wait to try more as there is quite a bit of surprise element in their cuisine.  



We just wanted to find a place to rest and eat something cold and sweet. It was a surprisingly good find because their ice cream were very delicious. I wasn't expecting much because it was keto-diet and was suitable for diabetic. But the ice-cream turned out to be really thick and creamy. I love it and even ended up googling to check out if they have any closer outlets to home. Oops only one. Guess we need to do delivery or just pop by whenever we are nearby! The staff there were also really friendly and warm. 




Usually food court doesn't excite me much, but this does because their food is so, so good. We tried the Hua Jie dumplings, which I thought was pretty pricey, but really good. I ended up taking away some because we can't eat 10 at one seating when there are other mains, the takeaways were still very yummy when cold. I am impressed. My kids ate the wanton mee at Chun Noodle Bar and I have to say it is one of the best Wanton noodles I ever had. I actually want to try more of their food. There is even air-con seating and the toilet are very clean too! I will be back!
