Hwa Kee Barbeque Pork Noodle 華記云吞面

For those who love outdoor activities at East Coast Park, what do you usually eat there? Both Picky Girlfriend and Fussy Boyfriend love the food at East Coast Lagoon and of course a good place to stop over even for drinks especially when we were cycling!














And everytime without fail when we visit East coast, we will visit this store! Fussy Boyfriend's favourite wanton mee store! It's interesting that the signboard says barbeque pork noodle rather than the usual wanton mee. So at one glance, if you can't read the chinese words (which says wanton mee), you may wonder what this store is selling!
















We were lucky cos the queue was not exceptionally long when we were there at about 9pm for late dinner.














Comes with either $3 or $4




















Closer look at the wanton mee

Unless you are a small eater, go for the $4 version as that is what we usually order. $3 seems a tad too little in terms of the serving. We love the fact that the char siew are roasted using charcoal and the sweet tasting soup that goes well with the wanton.




















And this is how it looks like after mixing and stirring well with the sauce and noodles! This wanton mee is special as it comes with the sweet char siew sauce which is rarely found in other wanton mee now! So this really gives us a super old school feeling! :)

Both Picky Girlfriend and Fussy Boyfriend's rating for wanton mee: 4.25/5

Lao Beijing Hi-Tea Buffet

Both Picky girlfriend and fussy boyfriend were on leave one fine day and so it's really the best time to explore places with hi-tea buffet! And we spotted this, not sure whether alot of people know this, but Lao Beijing actually has a hi-tea buffet! You can find see the menu of the Hi-tea buffet here.

At $13.80Nett, we thought it was quite a deal since we would be able to have unlimited serving of xiao long baos when a basket of xiao long bao can easily cost quite expensive if you buy from other places.














It was really buffet style (take it yourself) except of some items that you would have to order from the staff. So here are some of the items that we tried. Variety of the buffet was quite limited, with different variation of dumplings that made up the bulk of the menu.




















Jelly fish and the vegetarian dishes (springrolls and mock meat made of beancurd was quite nice!)

Picky girlfriend really has a soft spot for noodles so this is something she cannot resist.














So we were really looking forward for some piping hot xiao long bao and guo tie (pan fried dumplings) since that would be freshly made from the kitchen!

And finally...














Xiao long baos! :)

I think this was the only dish we really enjoyed the most! Xiao long baos go really well with vinegar. We are not sure whether you love it with vinegar but we are not exaggerating cos this is really how Fussy Boyfriend ate his xiao long bao.














Filled with vinegar!

Overall, it was quite a different buffet experience from the rest we had before. Go for this if you really love dumplings and xiao long baos. Otherwise the variety can be quite limited and you can go if you just want a snack, and not as full meal. Hi Tea buffet timing is from 3pm-5.30pm :)

Both Picky girlfriend & Fussy Boyfriend rating for Buffet : 2.75/5
