Indonesian Panggang Set @ NUS Engine Canteen

Campus Yummy Hunt many many month ago... hunted this stall in NUS engine canteen

Picture taken from http://singapuradailyphoto.blogspot.com


Indonesian Panggang @ $2.60

This is my first time trying in this semester! and... the kebab is still as nice, the chilli is still as fiery and hot, the curry veggies is still so ever tasty! At $2.60, who says good and cheap food does not exist!?

But sadly, i returned a few days later, the kebab was sold out. So I had the grilled chicken set but the chicken was terrible. It was salty and dry... omg... did they chicken like drown in a pool of salt water and then suffered from 3rd degrees burn???

I thought this was an isolated case, but a few days later after that, my friend again had the grilled chicken set due to the kebab being sold out again... and to my disappointment... the grilled chicken was as bad...

Hopefully this is again... another isolated case.

But many isolated cases = consistency = constantly bad. lol

nah... giving them another chance :)

Avocado Butter oder Poor Man's Butter (Mantiquilla de pobre)

Foodiegymmie makes Butter!

not peanut butter this time round,

but

Avocado Butter!

This is Avocado section view A-A

This is Avocado Butter in a jar

This is Avocado Butter Toast

Avocado butter, also known as poor's mans butter. Butter - because it has very high fat contents just like any butter/magarine. Poor man - bcos back in the early days, the poor cannot afford the cultured butter from milk. But ironically, Poor man's butter turns out to be a healthy choice as compared to culture butter made from milk fats.

Butter is a warehouse for saturated fats and excess of it is dangerous (google to find out why and how!) Therefore it is better to avoid sat. fats! As for magarine, it has reduced sat. fats, has high poly unsaturated fats. However, both contains transfats!

But not for Avocado butter. It contains mono and poly unsaturated fats, and no transfats and no cholesterol! But for those of you who are watching your waistline, good fats are fats after all, but they are a much better substitute for your butter and magarine.

Tastewise - It does taste oily like any butter, but instead of the salty taste that you get from normal butter due to the added salt content, Avocado butter taste more leafy and gives a very refreshing taste (served chilled).

How to make?

2 medium riped avocado - scooped out the flesh and dump it into a blender.
2 Tbspcup fresh lemon or lime juice into the blender

2 Tbsp of olive oil
4 tsp. of sugar (Optional)
4 Tsp. of salt

Popeye Chicken and Biscuits

Singapore Flyer - never fly before, perhaps wait till the IR is done instead of looking at muds and sands now

At the foot of SG Flyer lies my dinner...

POPEYE! People Mountain People Sea!!! But their service was fast so the wait was not as long as expected. It is not as bad as The Varsity which i saw on Food & Travel channel, the Q is damn long laaa...


3 Pieces of chicken (asked for all chicken breast need an additional charge of $1), but I only take breast meat. The Biscuit, was ok la, it taste nice with the mapel syrup. The do not have coke light... that's a boo boo popeye! Mashed Potatoes comes with Cajun Sauce... thumbs up!

Who doesn't like POPEYE!?
