Geylang Friday Dinner with Work-Friends

Hi gals, I went to settle food cravings at Geylang with work-friends today.
[Warning: The menu that follows is not for the weak-stomached... Read (...and gag) at your own risk!]

First stop: "Sweet chicken porridge"
We ordered 宫宝田鸡. I was expecting a big pot of porridge with the good stuff mixed in it. Pleasantly surprised when the food came. There's a pot of plain porridge (topped with diced spring onion). The froggie torso and limbs were served in a separate pot. Spicy~ The porridge is very smooth. Gravy from the froggie pot adds flavour to the dish.


We also ordered a beef hor fun. The beef is really tender and does not have the 牛臊(sao1)味.. Interesting..

Moving on, we wanted to get 豆浆 from the famous 油条大王 stall. We know the stall was relocated. But where to? Unsure, we walked along the stretch of Geylang road. High hopes that it'll be around somewhere. A helpful uncle directed us to continue down the road for another 5mins or so. We did so but could not find the stall. Gave up and head for the next stop...

WONDERFUL durian stall is Janice's recommendation. We had 4 D24 durians to share among us 5. That's a lot! After feasting, we packed back a box-fill for Steven. (Photo of Janice, Steven and Mariati posing with D24)

Before leaving, Steven bought 2 musang-kings for his family (that's his mom's orders~).

We got to taste the musang-king. oh my goodness! So sweet and fragrant! The yellow flesh is very bright and 'appetising to the eyes'. 15/kg is a tad bit pricey but it's really much better than the usual fare. D24 just loses its appeal.. Mental note: To value quality (against quantity) when it comes to durians. :)
