Korean Food at ABC Brickworks Market and Food Centre

Most of the Saba Fish I have eaten so far at a lot of 

food stalls the meat are usually tough, dry and bland. The Saba Fish that Bob ordered taste really absolutely fantastic ! 

Somehow this China cook has mastered the art of cooking the Saba Fish to the perfect consistency and texture such that the meat literally melts in your mouth with a flavour that is sweet to the palate. There is this Mum's flavour that gives the patrons a feel good feeling that I'd definitely come back for more !

Last evening Bob & I had a quick dinner at Hong Kong Street Zhen Ji Coffee Shop for some Zhi Cha Fare.

Hong Kong Street Zhen Ji operates from 2 coffeeshops: one at Ang Mo Kio Ave 5 & the other at Alexandra Village - Blk 125 Bukit Merah Lane 1.

Their Specialty dishes : Prawn Paste Chicken, Marmite Ginger Chicken, Steam Song Fish Head in Black Bean sauce, Dry Kway Teow Fish Slice, Oats Prawn, Fish Soup,  Yam Basket.

I ordered the Bittergourd stir fry Pork ribs, and the fish soup. The stock for the fish soup tastes sweet and has a tinge of wine, I believe the chef does use a dash of chinese rice wine or either that XO to give it that extra  special Ummp !

Tender Cantonese Chicken with  broken rice fragrant & thick seasoned with shallots & sesame oil    

The Glamorous Mrs Tan ( Mdm Lim ) helming the stall 

This Cantonese chicken rice stall is unique as they serve only steam chicken (white) and the rice used is broken rice.  They serve the rice in tiny bowls so small that those times when we eat at this stall we had to order extra rice. The chilli is unique & delicious you could really stir into the rice to eat with.

Mrs Tan ( Mdm Lim ) took to running the stall from her father-in-law who started this business 60 years ago. She is the second generation to helm this chicken rice stall for the past 30 years. She is a Hokkien girl married into a Cantonese family. Though chicken rice is largely operated by the Hainanese, the Cantonese does a mean chicken with their unique blend & method & ingredients.

She is closed on Sundays, you can look for her 3 pm - 9pm daily (except Sunday)
