    You have found your niche..this type of in depth local food reviews are a joy to watch and nobody else is doing this type of content. Stick with local hawker foods...endless supply of contents for many more series to come. Now that we are done with Hokkien mee...what's next? Char Kway teow?

      Fried rice

    @tomsaltezza Год назад

    i think you’re spot on! swee guan eat there is nicer, and come daily when dabao is better! Generally wet types dabao become even nicer as they have more time to fuse with the stock, hence the use of opeh leaf in the past! swee guan is definitely the top dog at the moment. come daily was prob the best 90’s hkm. i think they used to have a more delicious viscous stock in the old days and when dabao with opeh leaf, they were at the top of their game! thanks alderic for all your hard work and effort! this was definitely a must watch series! :)

    • @Alderic.
      @Alderic.  Год назад +1

    Great series and enjoy your content more and more! Watch it every week with my girlfriend now. I think bak chor mee is a good option for you to explore next, it's an extremely complex dish with a lot of different elements and I think as shown in this series you do a great job at breaking down your thoughts on the various different flavours and components in a dish and how they interact with each other. Also great to see brighter lights shone on hawker food by local content creators!

    • @Alderic.

  • @Dylan-le8nm
    @Dylan-le8nm Год назад +4

    Nah i don't subscribe to the dabao hokkien mee method. I find the noodles too mushy/overcooked as it continues the cooking process in its enclosed packaging. I just like the way it's served and that seems the most authentic - the way it's intended to be consumed (imo). dont flame me please, i like to eat food when it's freshly cooked and hot, this is just my belief and practice. But kudos to the effort over the past months, people don't get to see the hardships behind-the-scenes (i.e queuing, travelling etc.)

    • @Alderic.
      @Alderic.  Год назад +2

      nah you definitely have a point. I think it works different for different places. like for Swee Guan, I liked it better when I was there. but Come Daily and Xiao Di arguably both tasted better when I bought it back.

For 49 Seats, try out the Smoked Duck Aglio Olio. Take note though, I am recommending purely based on Aglio Olio, not other flavours of pasta dishes.

    Hi would 5 stars be better? No need to do moderation then.
    Maybe 5 stars is like i love it so much i can eat like weekly
    4 stars is i would travel across sg to eat it
    3 stars would be if i’m around the area and craving i would order it
    2 stars is average and much to be sought after
    1 star is needs much more improvement
