Laksa Beef Noodles at Ang Mo Kio

Have you tried before beef noodles plus laksa? We think hard and find no one sell this before. This stall was recommended by my friend who drove us there today. As usual, there is a long queue up to 10 persons and more. But their speed is fast enough that we only waited for 15+ minutes. Their specialities are beef noodles and laksa beef noodles (katong laksa as the stall claimed). Because I am pregnant, I only ordered beef balls and no cockles. The rest ordered mixed beef laksa. All of us finished the noodles and ingredients. My friend drank all the laksa soup. Btw each bowl costs $5 and is considered cheap for such big bowl. Bliss level: High

Authentic Must Try Thai Food - Ah Loy Thai

I am back in action after 2 months. It's quite hard to blog when you don't feel good about food after you are pregnant. You feel bloated and food photos no longer make you salivate.

Now I feel slightly better that I can blog about good food again. :)

Today I have decided to try out Ah Loy Thai at Shaw Tower. It is a small eatery and is often packed during lunch and dinner hour. I waited ard 15 mins before I get a seat. The real wait is the food as it took more than 30 min. Since I cannot wait for hunger, I resorted eating white rice first. I was grumbling to my husband that I don't want to eat here again. Finally the crispy fish and tapioca leaves came! After a bite at the fish, I told my husband I take back my words. It is very rare to eat such fresh and soft fish meat at a restaurant. The fish is very well cooked and reminded me of the steam fish mum cooked at home. That's explain why there is such a crowd. I am now more forgiving as it sure takes some time to cook fish. I also love the spicy and stir fried crunchy tapioca leaves.

In total, fish costs $9.40, vegetables at only $4.00 and the rice costs $0.60 a plate. There is no service charge or GST. This is even cheaper than the Cze Char stall near my house. Therefore I strongly recommend everyone to try especially those who are willing to wait.

I will come back again to try pandan chicken and tom yum. If you have tried, feel free to leave a comment abd share your experience too.
