Li Ji Chuan Chuan Xiang 李记串串香 - Skewer Hotpot in Chinatown

 Li Ji Chuan Chuan Xiang - Restaurant Front

I’ve been craving for lok lok which is known as chuan (串) in Northeastern Chinese cuisine. I happened to pass by Li Jia Chuan Chuan Xiang one day and this restaurant specializes in this type of skewer in the form of hotpot.

Li Ji Chuan Chuan Xiang - Condiments

This is where you get sauces and condiments. You have all the standard stuff like soy sauce, vinegar and spring onions as well as some not-so-common ones like Sichuan peppercorn and sha cha sauce.

Li Ji Chuan Chuan Xiang - Soups

You can order single or double soup base with 7 soup bases to choose from. Their mala soup base have three levels of spiciness as well as the usual pork bone soup, chicken soup, mushroom soup and tomato soup. The Chinese sauerkraut soup base and their signature "green" soup bases are quite different.

Li Ji Chuan Chuan Xiang - Coloured Plates

All the hotpot ingredients are strung on individual bamboo sticks in freezers at the back of the restaurant. you just stick the bamboo sticks into the hotpot and cook it like regular hotpot.The premium meats and seafoods come in coloured plates which corresponds to different prices.

Li Ji Chuan Chuan Xiang - Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cake

For dessert, if you have the stomach after the skewer hotpot, you can consider ordering a plate of 红糖糍粑（Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cakes) which can be found in the "special snacks" section of the menu. It's nowhere not as good as Da Miao Hot Pot 大妙火锅's version but you get a general idea.  This classic Sichuan snack is made by deep-frying glutinous rice sticks and it is eaten with brown sugar syrup.

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...
