An Afternoon of Food Kiosks at Clementi Mall, Singapore

Egg Stop

We spent a good part of the afternoon at Clementi Mall today, nibbling at a few kiosks along the way. That started with this local Egg Stop place (3155 Commonwealth Avenue West #B1-K7), which is apparently based on some kind of Korean sandwich shop. It tasted like it looked: soft buttery bread with scrambled eggs and various other items of your choosing. In some ways it was like an Egg McMuffin, but much more tender. It was better than I thought it would be.

Hainanese Chicken Rice'O

That sandwich alone wasn't enough food, but conveniently enough, this sign at Old Chang Kee piqued my interest (#B1-K11). I wasn't quite sure how they'd pack chicken rice into a curry puff, but it worked. Yes, it did taste like chicken rice, primarily because of a heavy punch of ginger in there. But the pastry was a far cry from the wonderfully flaky stuff at J2 at Amoy Street.

Childhood Memory

Finally, I needed a beverage, and a bubble tea shop called Bobii Frutii (#04-K4) caught my eye because they were doing one of those brown sugar drinks that have been getting some attention lately. And yes, it tasted like brown sugar and milk, in a good way. But clearly I've had enough unhealthy food for one day.
