Toa Payoh Gourmet Paradise: Mee Rebus

Just a quick post for you guys on something that I'm sure everyone will recognize.

I guess that most people would consider Mee Rebus as a breakfast item but that's not necessarily the case.
Mee Rebus can be enjoyed at any time of the day and I've heard of several variations from the common Mee Rebus with Satay to the not-so-common Mee Rebus with Tulang.

In fact, I'm willing to bet that quite a few of you have your own special recipes for homemade Mee Rebus am I right? Hmmm.... SEDAP!

Mee Rebus ($3.60)

One morning while we were waiting for an appointment in the area, my darling wife felt like having some Mee Rebus. She used to work in the area awhile back and mentioned that there was a stall that sold a pretty mean bowl of Mee Rebus.

The food court itself apparently has undergone a renovation so she wasn't sure if the stall was still around.
Luckily for us, the stall was still around and we were the first customers of the morning.

The Mee Rebus itself was really tasty and the gravy had a good consistency to it. Some Mee Rebus I've had in the past have a gravy that is either too thick or too watery. This one managed to stay fluid and had a nice tasty kick to it especially when you add in the sambal for extra spicy goodness. We also added a Bagedil for good measure hehehehe.


One thing to note, the serving was actually quite big so 2 people can share.
Or maybe we were not that hungry?

Adam's Verdict:
Mee Rebus 4/5

Maryah's Verdict:
Mee Rebus 4.5/5

Let's face it - there are some dishes that you have a special personal preference so when you eat it, you either like it or you don't like it and I guess Mee Rebus is like that. So if you find one that you like, remember where it is so you can get it all the time!

Ramadhan Special 2013: AquaMarine ft Chef Sahroni

Our original post on AquaMarine remains one of the most popular posts on The Halal Food Blog since we put it up almost a year ago. Well, we are sure they have been on the up and up since our last visit and they have something special to offer this Ramadhan.

This Ramadhan, AquaMarine has invited special guest Chef Sahroni all the way from Hotel Borobudur in Jakarta to serve up a special delectable spread for diners for Iftar this fasting month.

You can look forward to tucking-in to Indonesian favourites such as Sop Buntut (Oxtail Soup), Opor Ayam (Braised Chicken in Coconut Milk) and even a variety of Penyet Delights including Chicken, Duck, Fish and Squid.

You can still get the same favourite spread you love at AquaMarine plus some special Asian and International delights such as Chicken Tikka, Shawarma, Chawanmushi with Crab Meat and Baked Seafood Pasta with Fennel Cream sauce among other tasty regular favourites like Sushi and Sashimi.

AquaMarine is also having a special lucky draw for the month of Ramadhan where diners stand a chance to win the Grand Prize of a pair of return-trip tickets to Bali on Garuda Indonesia (worth up to $680) and also other additional prizes such as Marina Mandarin Singapore's dining vouchers.

FYI, the hotel has prayer rooms (separate for gentlemen and ladies) on the 6th floor of the hotel  and kurma (dates) will be served for this special Iftar spread at AquaMarine. Best to call and make reservations especially if you'll be breaking fast with loved ones and family.

Insya Allah, hopefully The Halal Food Blog Team will get to sample the special spread at AquaMarine and spread the word to our readers on how it is! Watch this space!
