heheh, no, I didn't cook these dishes!
We went to a Singapore cafe last night for dinner (Shiok! cafe) with HL's classmate, Ben and his wife. Before the dinner, HL was already dreaming of his hokkien mee, and we did order that, plus sambal udang, nonya fish, poh piah, roti prata, beef rendang and of coz, Singapore chilli crab!
The waiter and waitress at the cafe are Singaporeans studying here - the cafe is owned by an aunt.
We were expectedly excited looking at the menu of Singapore dishes, and ordered as much as we could for 4 people. Boy, were they good! We think they are as authentic as they can be, considering it is here in the States (I did find some of the dishes too salty though - probably to cater to the taste buds here)...oh, but the crab used is their local Dungeness crab (which is not so fleshy) and not our big, fat, juicy Sri Lankan crabs - disappointing but better than nothing...
Anyhow, it was a very satisfying meal, and our first taste of Singapore dishes after 3 months!
Hopefully, we can venture out once in a while in the next few months to try other Singaporean or Malaysian dishes...
