Today is x'mas eve, i wish everyone a merry x'mas.
I didnt celebrate x'mas as im a very ''traditional'' person.
It's also due to religious reason.

Anyway, im so glad that im the top reviewer in HGW & my photo is even pulished in the front page! It's kinda weird too...

Today i had lunch @ Hong Guo (Bugis Junction).
This small little restarant is located beside crystal jade cakery.
Their speciality is ''Guo Qiao Mian Xian'' a.k.a cross bridge noodles.
There's a story behind it which u would find out when u read from the menu.
There are 3 types versions- seafood, beef or pork.
It comes in a huge red bowl with steaming hot soup.
You have to add the meat first before adding the vegetables and then the vermicelli.
This noodle is quite popular in Yunnan.
You do not need to fly to yunnan to savour this anymore.

I ordered :
1x stir-fried kailan with black beans and dace
1x spicy chicken a.k.a ''la zi ji ding''.

This chicken dish is served shortly. I requested it to be slighly less salty but the waitress told me it was pre-marinated and then deep-fried. Well, the chicken is cut into bite-size, deep-fried and fried with sichuan peppercorns, dried chilli, peanuts and spring onions. It was a little spicy but addictive. It was like eating KFC popcorn chicken but is spicier. This is one of the popular dish in sichuan.

Stir-fried kailan with black beans and dace is not too spicy. The cook prepare the kailan very well, getting rid of the bitter taste of the leaves. The dace with black beans is not too salty, control the saltiness quite well.

The service here is a little laid-back. Most of the waitress are from P.R.C and they just concentrate in doing their work by serving. Perhaps they can try to give some recommendations to teh food as well.
