Food review
I bet I have got many friends who reside along the North-South line (Red line) of Sg! I stay in Jurong and have always been deprived of the awesome food in the other areas of Singapore. Would love to take part in the next food hunt organized by NUS next year! Anyway, a few weeks ago, the Reelity Showdown girls met up for dinner and KTV and Amanda recommended that we try this foodie place called 白米粉, Bai Mi Fen (Translated as White Beehoon) located at Sembawang. Of course I was elated because it's such a rare opportunity to come across famous, cheap and tasty food in a coffee shop setting. Omnomnommmm.. :3
How to get there:
Take a shuttle bus from Yishun MRT station to Sembawang Shopping Centre. Cross the road at the traffic light. Turn right and walk into the lane called Jalan Tampang. Head straight ahead and you'll see a huge signboard that says Bai Mi Fen on the right side of the road! :)
The girls and I reached the eatery at about 8-9pm for late dinner. With the warning given in advance by Amanda, we expected and encountered a queue which we waited in for about 20min. In fact, the queue was just right beside the dining tables where the already seated down diners enjoyed their meals while we stared at their satisfied faces and food, drooling. Well, it wasn't so bad actually, cos we utilized that waiting time to decide for ourselves what we should order.
So first up, we got the Iced Jelly Lime juice for our drinks. There's a fusion of sweet and sour taste amidst the chilled jelly. Initially, I thought it's a dessert which should be served last after the meal, but no, you can actually enjoy the refreshing mocktail-like drink together with your main course. ONLY $2! :) Quite worth it for a homemade dessert-drink.
This is the legendary BAI MI FEN with a generous serving of seafood (cuttlefish, squid, prawns), eggs and vegetable!!! You got to finish this dish while it's still warm before all the savoury gravy gets all absorbed up by the beehoon. In our opinion, the beehoon tastes just slightly above average upon our first mouthful. But, it gets more and more yummy the more you feed yourself. The texture of it is very springy and even though the dish is flooded with gravy, the beehoon itself doesn't taste too soggy or disgusting for consumption. The gravy simply acted as the seasoning for the beehoon and doesn't get all sticky on them. Of course, if your preference is inclined towards watery beehoon, you can always scoop the gravy up and eat it with the beehoon on a spoon. How awesome is that!
Omelette with sausage -
Slightly oily and sinful but I LOVE IT cos it was freshly served and slightly crispy to the perfect extent. :3
Lala -
Spicy dish which I didn't really take a lot but I could tell that the clams were quite fresh. :)
Kangkong -
Morning glory is like the universal all-time favourite vegetable dish. All of us agreed in unison that we should order it as our veg course. We felt that the stalks were just slightly a little bit too tough because coincidentally all of us are more used to having the veg cooked to perfect sogginess.
Chicken wings -
Crispy of course!!
Best part of it all! Less than $10 per person for a very filling and sumptuous meal! :D
Besides all the abovementioned which we ordered, other recommended dishes are the prawn fritters, ngo hiang and calamari. If you've gone there before and have better recommendation, don't mind leave me a comment and let me know which are your favourite dishes? I'd love to bring my bf there one day. :)
Just some happy pictures to make your day and mine! ^^
