Ramadhan Special 2014: Chicky Bang Bang

I know you guys are like me and you LOVE street food am I right?
Well, one of the ultimate has got to be chicken wings. Good ol' finger-lickin' chicken wings!!

I stumbled upon this place when I was at the 'Bazaar Bawah Blok' (BBB) at Blk 301 Tampines St 32.
Happened to be pretty close to my in-laws place so I do tend to drop by every year. This is of course the BBB that used to be Tampines Blk 942 near the old stadium but they've moved here quite awhile back actually. You can read our original post HERE.

I wasn't so impressed with my recent visit but a stall did catch my eye a few times as I walked past.
It said BBQ Chicken and I saw someone grilling up some chicken but I was already having chicken for iftar so I gave it a miss.

But I went back... Cos I love Chicken Wings!

So they have 3 flavours for you to choose from at Chicky Bang Bang.
On the left you have some local flavour with the Satay Wings. On the right you have the Original for all of you who love to be traditional. And in the middle we have the Fiery K-Wings!

And the pricing is pretty straight-forward too.

Okay no need to talk so much yet I wanna have me some chicken wings.
LOL

Let's start with the 'simplest' of the flavours shall we?

Chicky Bang Bang Original Wings

Now ain't that a pretty picture. Makes me hungry just looking at it!!

The Original is their version of the Honey Glazed BBQ wings. As you can see from the picture, besides the honey glaze, they have also seasoned it with some black pepper. Definitely gives the wings an extra kick in the flavour department!

Chicky Bang Bang Satay Wings

A step up from the Original is the Satay Wings.
This version is your Satay spices mixture giving the wings its primary flavour along with some Gula Melaka for that sweet-ish finish.

 I have to say the flavour really comes through on this one and you can really taste the Satay flavour. This was my Darling Wife's favourite of all the wings.

Chicky Bang Bang Fiery-K Wings

So this is their "Blazing Hot" Fiery K-Wings!
If you're not such a 'Hantu Chilli' don't worry okay. Can still try! Don't scared!!

I'm not sure what they used exactly but maybe because it's called K-Wings I'm leaning towards some Korean flavour? Maybe some Kimchi spices in there? Well, whatever they used, this was the one with the most intense flavour. I mean, all of the wings had flavour but this was the most unique.

If you're looking for something other than the norm - TRY THIS!!!!!

That's Ashahry and he's the mastermind behind Chicky Bang Bang.
Go to Tampines and look for him. Tell him that The Halal Food Blog sent you and I'm sure he will make sure you get the best of the best chicken wings to enjoy!!

You know that we here at The Halal Food Blog absolutely love to support local and especially young entrepreneurs and here's another one for you guys to support too!

They'll be at the BBB at Tampines Street 32 Blk 301 for the whole month of Ramadhan so drop by ASAP and get yourselves some chicken wings. Confirmed won't regret!!

Ramadhan Special 2014: Bussorah Street Bazaar

3rd year in a row we're going back to the Bussorah Street Bazaar!!

Despite feedback that the stalls are pretty much the same every year and there's nothing special, I guess we feel that this is one of the original bazaars around (even though the location has shifted a little bit).

And indeed it was mostly the same stalls but some newer ones too I guess...
Let's talk a walk together...

There was this guy I saw. At first I thought he was selling some kind of noodles since he was dunking something into scalding water.... And then upon closer inspection...

Rojak Bandung!!

Familiar names like Anjung and Dahlia Cafe were back again for another year!

Saw this stall called Noe's Kitchen and stopped by because my Darling Wife was feeling like some Badak Berendam! And it looked they might actually have it because they were selling mainly desserts and stuff like that.

In that last pic, we saw something that looked like our target - Badak Berendam.
We even asked the lady if it was Badak Berendam and she acknowledged yes it was.
So we bought it.

Well, unfortunately it was not Badak Berendam. Something close but not quite.
The 'Badak' itself was kinda different and the 'santan' was more of a sugary water with some santan.
Maybe we have the wrong idea? But cannot be right? Oh well.

Wow! Rendang Kebab! Something new!!

There was also this stall that seemed really popular based on the queue.
They were selling Nasi Bukhari. You could choose from Chicken or Mutton.

Another regular at the Bussorah Street Bazaar was Amirah's Grill ready to serve up delights!

It's not a very long stretch and it's actually really quite crowded because of the cramp space.
But I think if you're in the area, it's quite nice to actually walk around and soak up some of the bazaar atmosphere.

Hopefully they'll be able to have this bazaar every year :)

Ramadhan Special 2014: Gourmet Pizza To Go

So Mein Brudder and me actually passed by this shop in Bedok. It was a new pizza joint with some really power looking pizzas (and they were HUGE too!). But this was the week before Ramadhan and no way we would have enough time to try it before then so we decided to make it a point to try it once Hari Raya was over.

But lo and behold. My Darling Wife and I were walking along Geylang Serai Bazaar and I see this giant signage! Looks like we would not have to wait til after Raya after all!

Now do you see what we meant when we said HUGE?
And we were lucky enough that they were constructing a brand new pizza as we waited!!

First the base...

And then the cheese...

And last but not least - the toppings!!

So you see that they construct it from scratch here at the stall and that means it's gotta be fresh!
They dress it up there and they even have this special oven there so they can bake their pizzas and have nice and fresh and hot for us.

And more luck for us... a pizza coming out fresh!

Oh yeah a nice piping hot pizza pie!! Doesn't that just look yummy or what!
And I know how you all love Hawaiian pizza okay don't bluff...

But looks nice only... How about the taste??? Nice and cheesy?
Well, The Halal Food Blog proudly presents...

The 4 Steps To Enjoying a Pizza

Step 1 - Get your slice of pizza

Step 2 - Unwrap and let the awesomeness sink in

Step 3 - Bring the slice to your mouth and take a big chomp

Step 4 - Pull away, see the gooey cheese and go "Mmmmm"

So how? Not bad right? I'm sure you guys have already mastered the technique... Hehehe

Firstly let me again say how big this slice of pizza is. Sure it's cut into a shape we may not be used to for a pizza but you won't be complaining when you see how much pizza you're gonna be enjoying.
The toppings are generous (at least for the Hawaiian) and you can see they are definitely not stingy with the cheese. And have we mentioned how big it is?

The pizza is tasty enough but (like most things) we recommend eating it while it's hot!!

A slice will cost you about $6 but buy two for $10.
If you plan to buy a whole pizza, maybe you should call their hotline to deliver...

Al Taglio Pizza ($65)

You can order their Al Taglio Pizza which is a party on its own I'm telling you.
It's 60cm by 40cm. That's right. You go and measure and tell me if that's big or not.

It's so big that you can choose different types of pizza flavours and they'll combine it for you.
Perfect when you have some people who prefer one type of pizza while another group maybe prefers another type!! Smart right!!

You can call their hotline 6221 1666 or visit their website www.gourmetpizzatogo.com.sg

They've got 11 types of pizzas to choose from so you'll be spoilt for choice.
We haven't tried it yet. Just the Hawaiian for now. But we'll try it after Raya Insya Allah!

You can find the stall at the Geylang Bazaar just after you cross the street (Onan Road) from Mr Teh Tarik heading to Darul Arqam.
