The Lime Truck @ Pasarbella, Suntec

limetruck8


I have to thank Travel and Living for piquing the interest on food trucks, except the part of the world that I belong do, this is a fad. Hooray is having it as one of the concepts within Pasarbella so I can dine in comfort - cues, airconditioning.

With just 3 categories of food options, Tacos, Bowls, Sides and Sweets, it is no brainer what a hungry diner should look at. In my case, I ended up ordering this much.




Tacos is a must order at The Lime Truck, I wish I had the capacity to try all flavours so those attempted are what I'd order based on description.

Fried Chicky ($4.30)
Buttermilk fried chicken, lime seasoning blend, Dijon slaw, pickled mustard seeds, house pickle, flour tortilla, side of ranch




Truth be told, I've not had a life changing butter milk chicken...yet. So this was regular fried popcorn chicken topped with really delicious sauces and salads.

No. #1 Steak ($4.60)
Sweet and spicy steak, soy ginger slaw, wonton skins, cilantro chimichurri, house corn tortilla




The chimichurri itself is acquired, but it worked for me though the sweetness can get to some. Not quite my No. #1 choice for taco flavor.

Grilled Barramundi ($4.60)
Lime seasoning blend, chipotle slaw, guac, lime, house corn tortilla


Loved the crispy skin and sear! Not forgetting the guac as well, this is similar to the greens bowl.




Beef Rib "The Gringo" ($4.60)
Slow braised ribs, buttermilk fried onions, arugula, horseradish sauce, flour tortilla




Ok, we have a winner here. The Gringo crept into my heart and I like how all the flavours came together so deliciously. My guess the trick lies in the buttermilk fried onions.

Lime Truck Rice Bowl ($9.90)
Grilled chicken, green rice, miso pickle raddish, wonton skins, furikake, edamame, pickled vegetables


With eyes closed, it can be passed off as chicken rice except with Asian influences. Otherwise, I thought it worked really well.




Tostade Greens Bowl ($9.90)
Braised short ribs, mixed salad, guac, lime dressing, edamame


The sheer size of the wanton bowl it arrived is certainly jawdropping, but the flakiness of the skin was a turn off for me. I'd prefer it with more bite which is a pity since the rest of the bowl was absolutely yummy.




 Portions are generous at The Lime Truck - did someone say short rib fries are also on the menu?

Baba Steven's Private Dining: A ex-chef turned home cook

Image
Baba Steven or Chef Steven is endearingly known as has been whipping up peranakan feasts from his Bukit Batok Home since he retired. We booked a table of 8 for a $450 dinner comprising of 8 dishes. Baba Steven's chilli is a must try, fragrant and so tasty with just white rice. I clearly overdosed on this whilst waiting for the rest to arrive, just like soy sauce and rice, so simple yet my belly was full on happiness. The feasting kind of started before the mains were served - freshly baked pineapple tarts. These open faced babies come with a mildly sweet pineapple jam baked atop a really buttery pastry shell. Bakwan Kepiting Soup This is almost a Peranakan staple across the private dinners I have done and whilst this is homecooked, I found the meatballs rolled a tad too tightly. Soup is refillable but those balls are limited to two per diner. Ayam Buah Keluak is the classic peranakan dish at all peranakan meals and Baba Steven takes pride in deshelling each of these tough nu

Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) @ Old Airport Food Center

Image
Jin Hua is a household name for fish soup in CBD , very much so that I have joined the relentless queues during lunch just for a bowl of steaming hot goodness. Hurray to this franchise which also sports queues but more forgiving ones! Even way past 2 pm, the queues were neverending. Sliced Fish Soup ($5) Bland broth in comparison to Hougang Hai Zhen Yuan's, the sliced fish slices made it worse since they were barely seasoned too.   It may problems with a franchise but I still prefer their fried fish version over sliced. Given now I have found an alternative, I'd probably be switching camps.  Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) Old Airport Food Center #01-120
