What’s for lunch today?? *Prawn Mee** Since we are going to catch Elysium @ GV katong and will be passing by the famous prawn mee stall down East Coast road. Last visited in February.
Reached the place about 1pm and the place was not as crowded as before. We ordered 2 medium bowls of prawn mee & prawn mee with pai gu ($8.80 each). On top of that I also ordered a few pieces of Wu Xiang~五香 ($4.80). In the store, you will find 8 out of 10 tables with a plate of Wu Xiang to company the main dish (prawn mee).

After our movie, we took a walk to Parkway Parade shopping center (PP) and had a waffle with a scoop of durian ice cream @ Scoopz ($5.80). The waffle is crisp with texture and the durian ice cream’s has strong fragrance. However I still prefer the Mao Shan Wang ice cream at Ice Cream Gallery @ 242C Tanjong Katong road. They serve quite a variety of ice creams like Salted caramel, Earl Grey & Bailey. Do give it a try for it tinkers one taste bud.
Since PP is just a few minutes away to Changi Airport, we decided to travel our way there to have our dinner! Do you know that there is a staff canteen at terminal 2? Bet most of the public are not aware of it for the staff canteen has gems to be uncovered! One look at the entire canteen and you will find 2 particular stores with a queue of patrons. The store namely Wild Olives~Pasta & Western Cuisine and Ngee Kee~Fried Hokkien Mee Local Delights.
These are what we ordered.
Grilled Catfish Fillet with Lemongrass Butter served with grilled herb potatoes and coleslaw ($5.90)
Calamari ($4)
Fried Hokkien Mee ($3.20)
Calamari ($4)
Fried Hokkien Mee ($3.20)
The catfish fillet has slight fishy taste but it can be covered with the lemongrass butter sauce dip. Their gilled herb potatoes are quite special however the coleslaw has too much mayonnaise. The fried calamari was served with curry leaves and it brings out the fragrance of the dish. Lastly, the hokkien mee was served with sweet prawn gravy which is extremely tasty. Thumbs up for the mee!!
Just a little note, the western store cashier who is also a server is wearing a hand glove. I pondered for awhile looking at him serving cooked food, handing cash, opening of fridge and containers of pre prepared food.. I find that instead of being Hygienic, what he had done was rather Unhygienic. I can see oil stains left on the notes when he returned the cash to me
Overall the meal was good for the price we paid. There is a Chinese saying, 肮脏吃肮脏大... :)
