Queue Queue Rice

I wouldn't be insane enough to queue in line for 45 minutes for a rice ball, so I guess I was a little insane the day before when I DID queue up for 45 minutes... for two rice balls. Of course I grumbled during the entire time of which Qin had to painstakingly endure.

QQ rice wasn't so crowded before that one fine day. That DAY when it was featured on Channel 8. Which lead to the unimaginable horrendous queue which I contributed to by making it longer HEHE. But at least I didn't buy a whole box of rice balls and stood around the counter taking my own sweet time like some people did, jerks. I swore he took 10 minutes or more, Sheesh.

Anyways, this QQ rice is actually brought over from Taiwan and features rice balls with 5 different kinds of fillings. There are also 5 different rice to choose from namely; purple rice (like Bubur Hitam), brown rice, mixed wild rice, ice lake wild rice, wheat germ brown rice and a combination of any two. $3.20 for a rice ball or $3.90 for 2 different types of rice or make it a meal by adding a multi grain drink and rice pudding for and additional $1.80.



They also do have quite a variety of ingredients to choose from ranging from chicken floss to lettuce. Actually, what ranges from chicken floss to lettuce?! Ahha! I don't even know what the fish I'm saying.

Okay, so whether your ball of rice tastes good or not pretty much (like 98%) depends on the ingredients you choose. Choose those with very strong flavours (like I did) like chicken floss and mutton rendang (this week's specialty) and your ball (of rice) will taste good.



Hey, I like this stuff. It's like my salvation to my ban from sandwiches (Damn you wheat bread!!!). It's like I can FINALLY eat sandwiches again! Yay! Just kidding, nothing compares to a kick-ass sandwich. But rice is good, and healthy, in a different kind of way. The purple rice is gooooood and has that Piak-y bite to it when you bite chomp down into it and expore its tummy full of yummy ingredients.

Otherwise, thats pretty much it and brown rice, well, tasted like brown rice. Duh, what did you expect?

It's good, it's nice and it's convenient but I'll probably visit it a few weeks later after all the commotion has died down.

Taiwan "Xiao Chi"

It's been awhile back since we visited this tiny eatery.

Oh yeah everything is always "been awhile back" isn't it Saaaaam? Sheesh.

Arghhh get out you dumb voice in my head!

Alrighty, anyways yeah, this teeny weeny eatery which isn't really tiny actually is located opposite Bugis Junction beside Ritz apple strudel. They serve, well, Taiwanese food! What a surprise!

We were quite full so we only ordered two dishes to try out. (Okay I'm lying, after that I ate 1 plate of duck rice, two bowls of desserts and 4 packets of durian which was DAMN NICE LAR considering I got them from Carrefour)

Aaah! Nooo get off me you sickening love handles!!!



Okay, DNS (Do Not Sidetrack). We got a preserved cucumber, not literally but a plate of it. It was good! Right sweetness but sourishly preserved enough and the cucumber isn't mushy especially the seedy part. And they added sesame oil which gave it an extra kick.



The Kong bak rice was SUPER DUPER YUMMY! Albeit being like 199% overly oily. It was filled with tasty, savoury, pork belly slices soaked in a unhealthy amount of liquid FAT and I ate the whole bowl of it. Shizz, what was I thinking?

The salted vegetables also gave the dish a nice soury salty touch to the otherwise superbly-unbalanced-toward-the-side-of-unhealthy dish and stops making you feel full and sick.

Oh yeah they also have this tea egg which was cooked to dark brown but tasted like a normal hard boiled egg. So much for the effort aye?

We WILL go down and try their Zha jiang mien as well as their fried chicken as well as some other stuff which I forgot soon (I hope). Try the rice, it's damn good! Unless you're on a low cholestoral diet or something.
