The recently renovated Ang Mo Kio Central Hawker Center is an avenue of foodie goodies for the food lover. In the very beginnings of the blog, I put up a review of an excellent western food stall (Read Review : Vincent's Western Food) and just three stalls down the row, there is another excellent stall selling Fried Oyster Omelette (Hor luack ) ... er I think that is how its spelt.
The oyster omelette was fragrant and crispy ( a A++ for that =) and they were very generous in their servings of oysters. Priced at $4/$5, the dish is rather reasonable and value for money, considering that this is top grade hor-luack.
Mmmm Fried Oyster Omelette...Crispy to the bite!
My only concern was the chili sauce that accompanied it. I am used to eating Fried Oyster Omelette with a very sour chili sauce that had bits of chili in it (perhaps the example of authenticity..I'm not sure). This chili was found to be a tad watery and not sour enough. So perhaps you could ask for another lime if you prefer yours with a little more kick.
Nonetheless, an excellent dish at an affordable price.

The rays of white,
all glimmer and bright,
shines its way past
the clouds of night.
A dawn has begun
and death is too dark
till the cycle of day
starts once again.
The shadow covered trees,
with the globe of white
stand hand in hand
like the very form
of Yin & Yang.
Warmth and richness,
fuse with nature
as the light above
shines down to love.
Come what may to
night again, and there
goes the power of might.
Till time itself repeats life again,
shining its eternal beam of delight,
once more,
forever more.
Note : I snapped this shot on my way to school today at about 0745. Its rare to see the glow of nature from the high heavens itself. I love this moment of beauty, don't you?
The Dragonfruit
Roar! Here comes the dragon!
Oh wait...its not really a dragon, its a fruit. Honestly I have no idea why this is called a dragonfruit. Does it look like a dragon? No it doesn't. The outside is fiery red while the insides is soft and mushy with black seeds all over. Still that does not look like a dragon. Hmmm. I wonder how a dragon tastes like?
The dragon fruit is also known as the Pitaya (and is the fruit of the Hylocereus cactus and yes...dragonfruit grows on cacti ), it is usually found very sweet and delectable. And do you know ? The dragonfruit flower only blooms at night. Way cool.
It is also said that the fruit can be made into juice or wine (bahh i'm drunk)!
Rich in Vitamins (especially C), phosphorous and calcium, this is one fruit that is very good for your health. Oh yeah, I bought these at a way affordable price of 5 dragonfruits for $2.15.
Try it out, and perhaps you can start making your very own Dragonfruit wine. =)
Haha, I just received an email from the National Day Parade Committee informing me that my entry for their Blog Battle Competition on What does the Singapore Spirit mean to you, has won one of the top three prizes. I will be receiving a Samsung E250 Handphone and my entry will be featured on the NDP website.
Quite cool, haha.
