JustAboutFood 找食趣

想品尝正宗的潮州粥和潮州煮炒吗?

Tucked in a corner of Joo Chiat, you will see a bright, clean and spacious koptiam. This non air-conditioned Teochew Porridge and Cze Char place is highly recommended by our Teochew friends! If you have been a “Joo Chiat foodie follower”, you would have heard about them. They were formerly at 59 Joo Chiat Place.

许俊盛隆记是找食趣的潮籍朋友介绍的, 就位于如切地区的这间咖啡店内。
虽然没有冷气, 但胜在够明亮宽敞, 地方也很干净。
如果你是如切美食的忠实追随者, 你一定有听过这个招牌。他们之前在59号营业。

Fish Cake – $2 per piece
WoOOoo….the fish cakes here are a MUST try! They are lightly fried, not oily and do not have a fishy taste. The texture is smooth and very chewy too! *Yums!*

鱼饼 – 每块$2
一定要尝尝这里的鱼饼, 炸得并不油腻, 也没有鱼腥味。
口感爽滑, QQ有弹性。

Pork Trotters (Tendon/thigh) – $6 / $8
The “Loh Bak” (braised meat) here is very soft and tender. Just eat it alone together with plain porridge or rice, it’s good enough. Best when you pour the sweet and dark gravy over it…Shiokaddooo!!!

猪脚 – $6/$8
卤猪脚肉非常软嫩, 吃起来不费劲。
无论是配白粥或白饭都一样好吃。
再淋上浓郁的卤汁, 哇~~~马上让人神魂颠倒!

Preserved Radish Omelette – $5
The “Chai Boh Neng” (preserved radish omelette) here is really GOOD! They are so generous with the “Chai Boh”, that you are able to eat the crunchy radish with every bite you take.

菜脯蛋 – $5
美味极了! 菜脯的份量超十足的, 因此每咬一口都能吃到咸香脆口的菜脯颗粒。

Steamed Baby Threadfin – Seasonal Price
For Teochews, steamed fish is a MUST in every meal. The popular fish will normally be the White or Silver Pomfret steamed together with salted vegetables, sour plums and thinly sliced pork belly to enhance the dish. Hmm…since everyone is always here for the steam pomfret, JAF decided to try something different! With the strong recommendation from the server, we ordered the Pan fried “Ngoh Hee” (Threadfin) with black bean sauce. We LOVE this dish! The fish is very FRESH and the gravy is saucy and sweet!

蒸午鱼/马友鱼 – 价格随季节变化而定。
潮州佳肴决不能少了蒸鱼。
通常潮州蒸鱼用的不是白鲳就是银鲳, 再加入咸菜、酸梅和三层肉薄片。
找食趣就点个不同的 – 蒸午鱼。鱼肉鲜美，黑豆酱汁甜甜的, 更是绝配。

Stir-Fried Clams with Garlic & Chilli – $8 / $12
One of Singaporeans’ favourite seafood dish – Fried “La-La” (clams)!! The “La-Las” here are very big and juicy! Every piece is evenly stir-fried so you won’t miss a single piece without tasting the flavourful sauce! It was sooooo…good that we literally “drank” the sauce from the shell!!!

香蒜辣椒清炒鲜蛤 – $8 / $12
这是新加坡人最爱吃的海鲜之一了。
鲜蛤又大又肥美。找食趣每吃一块肉就喝一口汁，可见有多鲜味十足！

Traditional Prawn Roll – $6 per roll
Unlike some other places that we have tried before, the “Hei Cho” (prawn roll) here are pretty bite size so you would definitely NOT stop at one! And YES! It goes well with the dark sweet sauce and of course not forgetting Teochew style chilli – vinegar/garlic chilli.

Read from other food blogs that customers always come back for the “Hei Cho”. Now we know why, its because these prawn rolls are wrapped with Pork Mesentary.

传统虾枣 – $6
这里的虾枣挺特别的，用猪小肠衣将馅料包裹在内。当然还要沾上黑甜酱和潮州式的醋蒜辣椒酱。
味道独特，难怪会吸引食饕们的青睐，蛮多博客都有介绍。

*Fyi – Mesentary: In an animal’s stomach, Mesentery is the piece of peritomeum that joins part of the small intestine to the back wall of the abdomen, as well as supporting the intestine. It is sold already opened, cleaned and scalded.*

*猪小肠衣 ~
肠系膜是腹膜的一部分，包在小肠和大肠的外面，把肠连接在腹腔的后壁上。

Yam Paste with Steamed Pumpkin and Gingko Nuts – $2 per serving
A MUST try Teochew dessert here – “Orh Nee” (yam paste).
In the past, this traditional Teochew dessert is often cooked with lards and lots of shallot oil thus making it very flavourful. These days, this dish tends to be healthier, coconut milk is used to replace fatty oil.
Conclusion: the “Orh Nee” dessert is really AWESOME! The yam paste is very smooth and mashed pumpkin is added hence giving the taste a slightly different texture.

南瓜白果竽泥 – $2
吃潮州菜怎么能少了传统的潮州甜品芋泥呢?
其实很正统的竽泥是用了许多猪油和葱油烹煮的，所以味道会特别香浓。
如今，大家都注重健康饮食，猪油和葱油已转而用椰汁来替代了。
虽然如此，芋泥甜品味道还是特佳，口感绵密。南瓜的甜味和竽泥混合得恰到好处。
