Last last Sunday, I mentioned going to Macau Express @ Expo for lunch with my mum. Rmb?
My mum ordered a Macau Fried Dry Hor Fun. She said the hor fun is very normal. We could even find better ones somewhere. True enough, I tried some of hers, it's usual cze char style with some char siew taste, which brings sweetness to the dish.
The ingredients were pathetic, got a prawn, a luncheon meat, a few pieces of chinese sausage, some veggies and that's it. Yes! that's it while it costs SGD 7.90. I gonna give it 3 hmmms as it is saved by the smooth and chewy feeling of the hor fun. :)
I ordered a baked beef steak spaghetti. Hmmm, some big chunks of veggies such as boiled potato, cauliflower, carrot, french beans. A bit hard though and of cos', there is finely sliced beef. The dish is served with some melted cheese over the beef steak. A bit weird to me, like east meet west. Furthermore, looks are deceiving, the appearance looked firm but when I chewed them, nah, it's not even springy. It's overcooked till soft. Quite disappointing though the gravy got a bit of the curry taste which is rather appetizing. The beef are thinly sliced so they are tender. However, I thought I tasted pork. Haha..
It's about 1am when Steve called, so it's about 11pm at his place.
*Cont* We ordered 2 beverage. Mum said the coffee isn't thick enough, definitely lose to Ya kun coffee. I felt my yuan yang milk tea isn't "hiong" (aromatic) enough. Haha. The milk covers the tea taste. Hai.
We also ordered this salted Bacalhau, SGD 1.20 / pc. At 1st, we didn't know what the hell is that. There's no link between the word and picture menu. Haha.. We realised the bacalhau is potato croquette. True enough the bacalhau is salty. The outer layer is flaky instead of crispy. Wondered if it is because the croquette is cold. There is a heavy peppery taste. The croquette contains some spring onions, chives and fats bits I supposed. hehe. For the peppery and flaky reasons, I'm giving the salted Bacalhau 2.5 hmmms.
