Lam's Signatures (Marina Square)

I learned from my colleague that Lam's Signatures had very humble beginnings. Lam's Abalone Noodles was opened by a man called Ah Lam in the 1950's selling mini wok noodles with various other zi char dishes in a small coffee shop. Over the years, it has grown in popularity and now has three outlets in Singapore. 

 
A friend used to drive me into Johor Bahru regularly just for abalone noodles. I wonder how does Lam's Abalone Noodles compare to the authentic abalone noodles in Johor Bahru? Well, let's find out!
 

 

 
They have Combo Meals which I think are rather value-for-money. 

 

 
I ordered Combo Meal G2 which consists of Abalone Noodle, Stuffed Meatball and a soft drink. 

 

 

 
I personally feel that the best part of the Abalone Noodles is actually the soft boiled egg. It reminds me of the Japanese favored egg with a delicious runny centre. The noodles are springy and full of bite and tastes pretty nice when mixed with the special sauce at the bottom. There are also three miserable pieces of abalone on a stick which are obviously from canned abalone. 

 

 
Stuffed Meatballs are tender and chewy. 

 

 
Fish Skin has lost some of its crunchiness from being left in the open for too long and it is not fragrant enough. I miss Tim Ho Wan's Garlic Fried Fish Skin.
 
There is no need to compare Lam's Abalone Noodle and Johor Bahru's abalone noodles because they are simply two different things. Lam's Abalone Noodle is really fishball noodles trying to be abalone noodle and failing miserably. The real abalone noodle in Johor Bahru boasts a hearty broth filled with many kind of seafoods and huge pieces of abalone. Now, THAT is a real treat.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
