Strong Flour Revisited @ Katong V

DSC_4554


Strong Flour had the mother at hello with their al dente handmade noodles, hence the frequent visits and I am really on my way to trying every item they have on the menu, assuming I do not keep ordering the favourites.

Ham and Cheese Panzerotti ($12)

DSC_0713
A must order every visit and since I was introduced to it, we've never looked back. One incredible appetizer with sucha lovely crisp and the buttery layers that makes the ham and cheese actually seem like second fiddle.

Beef Ragu ($19)
Beef shin, red wine sauce




Hearty stuff here with shredded beef and a wholesome broth. The dish could do with some heat, but that is just me trying to turn this into a 紅燒牛肉麵 .

Limoncello Barramundi ($20)
Limoncello marinade, sour cream, chive potatoes, tomato puree




Pan seared barramundi and sour cream potatoes on a bed of spinach made me a happy chomper.

Carbonara ($17) has taken several tweaks and I hope this version stays - on point tasty without being too jelard not lacking in flavor. I'm a carbonara convert just because of Strong Flour, classic and just so delicious.

Sea Bass Fettucine combines two loves - pan seared sea bass and cream sauce fettucine. I may have gone overboard with my cream sauce mains and this was hinging on overload but the fish chunks were oh-so-fresh!

Truffle Pizza ($22) is possibly my second favourite flavor on their pizza menu. Truffle paste, truffle oil, freshly shaved truffles...I'm just a sucker for truffles and this was not overly perfumed with it and a refreshing change from the usual tomato or cream sauce based pizzas.


Once again, I can count on the team at Strong Flour for another hearty homecooked meal - you have no idea how leaving the dinner table feeling so satisfied sets the tone for the rest of the night.

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...

Garlic like tumeric is one o...

Ole Ole Kueh @ Parkway Parade

Image
Food kiosks always excite me and more so when they pedal peranakan kuehs. So this was the story behind Ole Ole Kueh - perfectly distracting when waiting for transport at Parkway Parade methinks. Having been won over by Milk Moon's Pulut Serunding, any chance at these deconstructed lempur udangs, I leap at it. This version was draped in coconut, chicken floss and shrimp and the glutinous rice balls were just oddly half as satisfying. Probably the savoury part was not nailed well. Kueh Cara is a dense pandan nonya treat, uncommon actually though it was probably made from the same mould as the kueh bahilu. Kueh kosui at Ole Ole's is as per their other kuehs, really dense. I prefer them lighter actually. Moving onto the savoury snacks, epok epok is a must every time I spy it - just like curry puffs. These would have tasted better piping hot with their thin pastry skins and barely there stuffing. Do you spot more pastry than filling? Lemper Udang is definitely a better bet for...
