Battered Mars Bar at Smith's Fish and Chips, Singapore

A northern UK delicacy has made it 16,000km to the shores of Singapore.... the battered Mars Bar! Oh and Fish and Chips. Both are highly recommended. 

Braised Duck

This is duck is fantastic. It's very basic, but it hits the spot. All this for $3. You can find 'Duck man' in a small food court on Sultan Gate Place, next door to the 'Claypot Chicken man' from an earlier post...

Thai Pancakes - Kanom Thai

On a recent visit to Thailand I tried Kanom Thai, or Thai crispy pancakes. They come in sweet or savory form. The savory form contains coriander (the herb of the devil) so avoided that one, and opted for the sweet version. The white, gooey, fluffy, centre, which is topped with orange rind, is the main event. It tastes like a marshmallow meringue. A definitely for any fellow sweet tooth.

I was particularly impressed by the way they made them...

Mr Bean - Bean Curd

A local favourite... why I don't know. It is bland, it has a slippery jelly texture, with a unpleasant after taste, there is a reason why it is $1.50 for a bucket of it!

Swati Snacks - Mumbi

On a recent trip to India, I visited a street food outlet called, Swati Snacks. Think, fast food, Indian style. We queued to get in becuase it is that popular and I wasn't disappointed when we finally sat out our diner style table.

We ordered a huge variety of dishes to sample, my favourites are highlighted below.

Fudina Panki - Mint flavoured rice pancakes that have been rolled in banana leaves.

Cheese Dosa - really light and crispy

Pani Puri - The puff balls, served with pulses, lentils and a curry sauce. You break a small hole in each ball and fill it, then pop it all in in one go!

Dhan Shak - A more traditional vegetable curry, Parsi Dal served with rice.

Prata Wala

Forget about Macy D's, go for the Indian alternative of a Murtabak from Prata Wala.

My type of fast food!

We visited the Prata Wala at Jurong Point.
For more info on Murtabaks look at my earlier posts.

bakkwa 肉乾

As Chinese New Year approaches this will be sold by the bucket loads! It is Bakkwa, or BBQ Pork slices as I like to call it. It is a dried, sweet and salted pork that resembles jerky, but it is a bit fresher, softer and requires less chewing as the amount of fat in the Bakkwa makes it very tender.

Velvety Mushroom Stroganoff Soup

This was a soup from Soup Spoon, topped with a puff pastry lid.
