I was asking Agagooga what is nice to eat at Tiong Bahru market when we were having lunch there a few days ago. He replied by asking me if I want to try the food that is famous or try the food that is good. Though my obvious choice was food that is good, the stalls which he felt were selling the good food were not opened that day.
In the end, I settled for the Char Siew Rice at “Tiong Bahru Roast Pig Specialist”, i.e. one of the “famous food” at the Tiong Bahru Market.
Indeed, the good food may not necessarily be famous, and the famous food may not necessarily taste good. There was a long queue at the stall and the char siew did look delectable when I was queuing up for my food. There were also plenty of good reviews pasted on the stalls and photographs of celebrities who had ate at the stall previously. I guess all these built up the expectation that I would be having some decent food at least for lunch that day.
Sadly, I was disappointed by the Char Siew Rice. My main complaint was that the char siew tasted too dry. The char siew rice was only average on the whole. The only redeeming point about it was that the portion was quite sizeable for only $2.
I guess I’ll try other food the next time I’m at Tiong Bahru market but definitely not the char siew rice again.
P.S. I realised that there’re really too much work for me to finish daily, and they’ll never be cleared until the day I finally graduate. Thus, I’m back from my “break” that wasn’t really a break. =P
