Just the other day i was on the way home when my bus went past this row of shophouses along Bukit Timah and saw the distinct signboard of Al-ameen Eating House. *Cue moment of nostalgia* I remember going there for meals after school back when i was still in MI. Decided there and then to drop in this weekend since it's been so long i've gone there. Can even reminisce a bit. Hee~
I haven't really tried the pratas from Al-ameen coz we've always only ordered the zi char dishes, except for the cheese prata which Al-ameen is famous for. Tried it only once, found it overrated, never tried it since. This time round, we decided to go for the chicken murtabak, as well as giving the cheese prata another try~
Our milo dinosaurs came 1st~
*Pardon the blurriness!*
The service at Al-ameen has always been quite slow. In today's case, we had to wait for around 30 minutes before our pratas arrived~ -_-"
The murtabak wasn't as good as i expected. The chicken inside was a tad too dry for my liking and there was much much more onions than chicken~ O_o" The cheese prata remains overrated; the cheese is like almost non-existent! More cheese then shiok ma! The egg prata was just mediocre~
Total bill came up to about $12+ for the both of us. Overall, the meal wasn't as satisfying as i thought it would be. But then again, it's not fair to judge the standard of Al-ameen based on these. After all, Al-ameen is quite acclaimed~
Just as we walked out to pay the bill, we came across these big banners:
Goodness. Now there's milo king kong~ O_o"
Took a bus and went to orchard. Since i had Orange Julius' discount vouchers, we decided to head over to Takashimaya's outlet and get a drink~
*Pardon the poor resolution!*
Couldn't resist the look of those sausages and bought it! They were tasty enough to make our 2 bucks well spent~ The drink was smooth and rich but a teeny bit too sweet for my taste though~
Since this entry is all about food, i shall post up what we had for dinner too:
Popped by Plaza Singapura and jalan-ed around before we went up to the foodcourt for our dinner at around 7+pm. The char kway teow and chai tow kway were from the same store and there was quite a long queue~ The former was a bit too bland and not spicy enough although i asked for it to be; as for the latter, the taste of dark soya sauce was too prominent. The lime juice was a good finish though!
