F&N Assignment - FARAHIN 3N2
Thursday, July 30, 2009
in search for different ethic food from ASEAN countries. I went to Marina Bay this evening, 26th July 2009 at "MAKANSUTRA GLUTTON BAY"
to search for the different food.
Satay was supposedly invented by Javanese street vendors, based on satay becoming popular after the influx of Arab immigrants in the early 19th century.
The satay meats used by Indonesians and Malaysians, mutton and beef, are also favoured by Arabs and are not as popular in China as are pork and chicken.
Satay, is a dish consisting of diced or sliced chicken, goat, mutton, beef, pork or fish. The more authentic version uses skewers from the midrib of the coconut leaf, although bamboo skewers are often used.
These are grilled or barbecued over a wood or charcoal fire, then served with various spicy seasonings. Turmeric is a compulsory ingredient used to marinate satay, which gives the dish its characteristic yellow colour. Meats commonly used include beef, mutton, pork, venison, fish, shrimp, squid, chicken. Satay is served with a spicy peanut sauce dip, or peanut gravy, slivers of onions and cucumbers, and ketupat (rice cakes).
I had ordered this plate of satay which includes 10 sticks of Chicken & 5 sticks of Mutton. It had cost me a total of $10.
I find it reasonable as it is really delicious, especially it's spicy peanut sauce. It is very rich with chopped peanuts
and it is not very spicy. I feel that the essence of Satay lies in its sauce, followed by its marination of the meat.
The mutton was marinated with herbs, and it is very important to choose a young lamb because lamb under 3 to 5 months old,
has a milder and a more tender meat. I would prefer the Mutton Satay to the Chicken as mutton has a stronger taste compared
to chicken. I like its strong Herb taste and it goes well better with the Peanut sauce.
Therefore, i would strongly recommend this 'foodstreet' MAKANSUTRA GLUTTON BAY at Marina Bay, Esplanade as it had other
variety of local dishes such as Oyster Omelette, Fried Prawn Noodles, Char Kuay Teow, Fried Carrot Cake, Roti Prata,
Mee Rubus, Pineapple Rice etc...
Assignment - Khairulanwar
Hi, I'm Khairulanwar from 3N2. I did my F&N work as told. I went to Toa Payoh lorong 8 market to eat Mee Soto. It is originated from Indonesia. Mee Soto - the base for this dish is a stock made from chicken and a special Rempah(Spices), which varies from stall to stall. Blanched Hokkien Mee and pieces of shredded chicken are then drowned in this aromatic and tasty soup, and topped with chopped spring onions and crispy fried onions. It cost $2.50 per bowl. For the taste of dish, it is delicious, not salty, not oily and its good for health as it is not oily.
After I had eaten Mee Soto, I went to eat Prata. Roti prata is the Singaporean evolution of the Pakistani and Indian prata, a pancake bread made of dough composed of fat, egg, flour and water. Roti means bread in Hindi, Urdu, most other North Indian languages and Malay, while Prata means flat. It is traditionally served with curry or, more rarely, with sugar. I ate it at Toa Payoh Lor 1. The plain prata cost 2 for $ 1.20? It was really delicious when it is hot and it is nicer eating it with fish curry. There are many other types of prata such as egg, cheese, tissue and Bomb Prata.
CHINATOWN FOOD TRIP.
first food! fried kway teow (chinese). yes. it was alright. not that special i guess. looks ordinary.
second! the "salad" you tiao. i thought there was gonna be veggies in the you tiao or something like that. but in the end, it turned out that it was fish meat inside. so i'm still wondering why do they call it SALAD you tiao. there's no sign of any vegetables. ahahaha. it is really crispy on the outside and soft on the inside as there is fish meat. it's nice...
Celebrating RH Food Festivals
As I was having an early dinner, it was not as crowded as usual.
Well, for this assignment, I chose 3 dishes out of some dishes I had, mainly: chilli crab, prawn roll and cuttlefish with kangkong. I would recommend everyone to try these dishes.
The chilli crab costs S$29 each. The chilli sauce contains egg white and egg yolk. The chilli crab was not very spicy, yet it was delicious! Chinese parsley was used for garnishing. The crab meat was soft and tender, making it tasty. This dish was one of the chef's specialities. The meat tastes best with the chilli sauce.
This dish would be the prawn roll. This dish costs S$8.50, consisting of about 8 prawn rolls. The appearance of the prawn rolls are brownish in colour( skin) and white in colour for the meat( excluding the prawns, Chinese leek).
The outer skins of the prawn rolls are very crispy, yet the inside of the prawn rolls are soft. The ingredients used are mainly: prawn, Chinese leek and fish meat. This dish is served with sweet sauce. It tastes best with some sweet sauce. The prawn rolls may look burnt, but actually they are not. This dish is quite oily, thus those that are worried about health problems should reconsider eating it.
This is the last dish that I would recommend to everyone that is the cuttlefish with kangkong. This dish costs S$12.50(medium).
This dish is quite spicy as it is cooked with chilli. Sesame seeds are sprinkled on the cuttlefish. The cuttlefish are no very small in size. The cuttlefish do not taste very rubbery like some do, but it is quit chewy. The chilli sauce contains a lot of shrimps.
Overall, these dishes taste great and I think everyone should try it. I really enjoyed these dishes and hope that others do too :)
Now, I have come to an end for my expedition Thank You!

Hey! I'm Andrew from 3E2. On Saturday, i went out with my friends to marina square to get this F&N assignment done. We walked around and finally decided to head to the food court there as it was cheaper there. There was a wide variety of food there and i took my time to decide on what i should get. I choose Laksa in the end. It looked very appetizing on the signboard and the pictures i took just doesn't seem to do justice to that bowl of Laksa. It not only does it looks fantastic, it also taste heavenly! In fact, its one of the best I've eaten so far. It has prawns, egg, cockles, fishcakes, lemon grass and the main ingredient... the hokkien noodles. The stock which is why the Laksa tastes so nice is heavenly. It was rich in flavour,and it really entices your taste buds to have more of it. It's a little costly though, priced at $4.50. The stall name is called "Pong's Laksa House" and it has some long history of selling Laksa. I give it a 8/10 rating. I believe Laksa first originated in Malaysia, therefore i chose this food for the assignment.
F&N assignment- Farah
Hi, I'm Farah from 3N2 and I went to fork&spoon to do my F&N assignment and choose chicken rice because any race would eat it and like it. chicken rice come from China. There are three types of chicken rice, steam chicken rice and roasted chicken rice. The healthier chioce is steam chicken rice as they only use water to steam it. When serving, add olive oil to the chicken.
The ingredients are made of : Yellow noodle, bean sprout, chye sim, a few slice of mutton, chilies & egg. Looks can be deceiving but the taste is mmmmmm..... yum!! The stall is located around my neighbourhood at Kallang Bahru. The Mee goreng is tasty and spicy. The Mee Goreng isnt too oily eventhough it is fried. I recomend it to all the Mee Goreng LOVERS out there!!

F&N assignment- Raidah
Hi, I'm Raidah from 3N2. Since Singapore celebrate Racial Harmony Day, I was told to do my F&N assignment. I went to fork and spoon. I went there as it have many choices of food to choose from. I bought chicken kung pow rice from the nasi padang stall. I choose this because it is from central-western china and china is part of ASEAN! The chicken is diced. they use capsicum, chilli and mix it with prepared marinade.
Imagine eating a spicy thai cum local meal and seating in an open air stall in the middle of Chinatown. Imagine the fusion. The atmosphere was great. The food was very spicy although the colors of the food does not give you a hint. The secret: the sauce they used was authentic giving it a thai flavour from the first bite. The fragrants was strong giving it a nice aroma, this was because they add fresh ingredients. They also add green chilli padi which was hidden from my view. This made the dish really spicy but I love it.
I chose this dish as I have always wanted to try a real Thai flavour in a meal and my dream came true although I know that it was not 100% genuine. This dish makes me realize that many ASEAN Countries have unite and some had tried to invest on foods using their unique respective flavours and I believe that this reflects how close Singapore's ties with this countries. This is important as all of us need to wor together so that we enjoy peace and there will be no wars and killings.
From this expedition, I've learnt a lot and I crave for more different fods from different cultures. I truly enjoyed that dish and therefore, thank you:]
How did Kaya toast come about? well, kaya toast came from our neighbouring country, Malaysia. It is made from eggs, sugar and coconut milk flavoured with pandan. there are franchises of kaya toast cafes in Singapore, and kaya toast becomes more than a breakfast meal. Adding kaya to the bread adds flavor to the bland bread, and toasting it makes it crispy!! butter is also added to further improve the texture and the flavour of the kaya toast.
The kaya toast i ate at marina square, killiney cafe was irresistible. the bread was toasted to perfection and it was neither to burnt nor not toasted at all. just right. the kaya given was very generous and the butter had halfway melted in the bread. The meal was delicious and it only cost $1.70 for two slices of kaya toast.
Other kaya toast cafes that are famous in Singapore is the Ya Kun kaya toast which has franchises all around Singapore. Young all old, Singaporeans would love this famous delicacy with the Malaysia background...:) YAY!!

From the stall name, homemade fishball noodle, you can obviously know that it is made 100% from pure fish meat. Most importantly, the fishball itself is very tender.
Though i frequently go there eat at least once a week, you will never get sick of it unlike other fishballs outside. With this i would like to end my post with that everyone should try this tasty and unique dish.

27 July 2009
Hi everyone,I am Janessa from class 3n2.
For this assignment,I have chosen a dish from a stall in Kou Fu,located at Toa Payoh Central selling Thailand food.
It's stall name is 'Kor Thai Delights'.
Just a little information about lemon grass before I start my review on lemon grass with beef rice set:
Related to citronella, this bulbous, greyish green tropical grass is a favored herb in Southeast Asian cuisines, where its delicate, lemony essence permeates a wide assortment of dishes. In Thai cooking, lemongrass is used most frequently to flavor soups, salads and curries.
We all know that Thailand stuffs are getting popular in Singapore,so why not have a taste of Thailand food to see what their food has to offer to your taste-buds?
Due to time constraints,I had to buy the food home to sample and I hope you won't mind the not so attractive pictures,as because it was packed,the presentation does not look oh-so-yummy.
Yet,I strongly recommend this stall for it's Lemon Grass Beef with rice set.
Both me and my mother have never been big fans of beef.
Yet,the moment I sunk my teeth in to the nice-smelling beef,I immediately asked my mother to try some because it was really very tasty.
My mother has always been skeptical about my decisions and views,but this time she agreed with me head on.
For it's $4.50 price for both a decent portion of delicious beef,lemon grass,leafy vegetables,cucumber,some carrots and a bowl of rice,it really deserves a try,especially for those who have not tried thailand food before.
It will sure give you a good impression on Thai food,especially for people like me who are non-spicy eaters as the food is not spicy,with maybe just a slight hint of pepper/spicyness which is withstandable for people who cannot take spicyness alike.
There are bits of chilli in the dish but no worries,the chilli seeds have already been taken out and just only add a slight flavour (:
I personally give it a thumbs up and a rating of 4/5.
And did I mention?It was one of the cheapest sets from that stall.
What's not to try? No harm done and in the meanwhile,exploring another culture's food.(:
Soy Sauce Chicken Noodles!
(Click on the thumbnail to enlarge the photo. I dont know why I cant seem to upload pictures to blogger. I apologise for this.)
Hey everyone. I'm Marcus from 3E2. On Saturday the 24th of July, I went to Chinatown to try out food. It was difficult because Chinatown has a long list of good food. So, I took my time and walk around. Just then, I stopped at this shop. The shop does not look bright or colourful but this chicken that is hanging in the display looks so mouth-watering! I was welcomed by the lady there. I sat down and soon ordered a drink while waiting. In less than 3 minutes, my dish arrived. SOY SAUCE CHICKEN NOODLES! It serves quite a reasonable amount. There was the braised chicken and the noodles served with cai sin (I apologise if I spelt wrongly), a little coriander leaf and some spring onion sprinkled on it. Then, I mixed everything together. The noodles were well cooked. The chicken is tender and there is no blood at all. There hardly is any bone in the chicken so I think it will be better as people are usually lazy to eat with the bone present.
Oh. Not to forget. The shop's name is "Chew Kee Eating House". It has a long history of 47 years! Really good huh? Well, this is one proof that the food there is delicious! That is why the shop is able to remain there till now, don't you agree? I cannot remember the address as I was walking aimlessly to look for some appetising food but if you would like to make your way there, walk further down from the exit of MRT and cross the road till you see Hotel 81. Just keep walking straight and find the signboard as stated. Enjoy your meal if you are there. I bet you want more!

Food Festival Assignment-Suraiin
Hi, I am suraiin from 3n2 and I am here to present you the mini wok noodle at marina square food court. The store name is fishball noodle and the mini wok noodle is origin from the Chinese cuisine. You can find the mini wok noodle any where in
This is nasi
This is the grill fish with spaghetti, I bought this dish at marina square food court and out of the three dishes this is one of the best. I specially like the grill fish because the fish is so soft and the sauce that goes with the fish is call mushroom sauce this two is the best combination for the fish, as for the spaghetti, the noodle was soft and the sauce was just perfect for the spaghetti. You can also add other dish such as fries or mash potato but the quantity is little if you choose this two if want to make your money worth it you should choose the spaghetti and grilled fish. The dish also comes with the mushroom soup, I could really taste the mushroom flavor and it taste quite creamy so I give this dish a rating of 10 out of 10. this dish is to die for.
