Hot in the City

I have never really tasted hakka food in Singapore except the hawker center's Yong Tau Foo. Coincidentally, thanks to Young Master's dad who's also a Hakka person, we decided to celebrate his birthday at this Moi Kang Hakka Restaurant on Trust Street in Tanjong Pagar.

The place was certainly crowded and we nearly couldn't get a reservation! Since it was also Chinese New Year, we ordered the 算盤子 because Young Master's mom said we have to be counting a lot of money this year! The 釀豆腐 (Yong Tau Foo which is stuffed tofu-cube) was so delicious! ...oh my...and the 扣肉 (Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard) , oh my god, so good especially with the bun. My only thing is i don't eat the fats and the skin, the skin was a little too hard anyways. Sorry about my manners but i was like wolfing down the food and not paying attention to any conversation. Notice the Fish Maw with Chinese spinach in the picture? WOAH~ you know my favorite is Fish Maw, and their fish maw, is CRISPY! I still couldn't figure out how it was made, soft yet crispy as you bite into it.

I am going there again this weekend for my mom's birthday dinner. kekeke.
