Lim Joo Hin Teochew Porridge @ Havelock Road

I was in Havelock Road again for Teochew porridge @ Lim Joo Hin Eating House.

We had Pig skin, 大肠，粉肠，braised pork belly, chicken feet, Minced pork with salted fish, Lala, fish cake, salted cai xin. The photo below did not capture all dishes.
Their pig skin was quite different from others, which was braised with 梅干菜，very soft texture which will melt in the mouth. yummy~ We had second helpings of pig skin and braised pork belly. Next time should try their assam fish.

11 plates all together, S$45 (4.5/5)

Mu Liang Zai Liang Kee Teochew Restaurant @ Havelock Rd

There are a number of Liang Kee Teochew Restaurants along Havelock rd, not sure if this Mu Liang Zai Liang Kee 木亮仔亮记潮州餐馆 is the original one, but as long as there are copycats, means the food should be good enough to generate demand. A bit pricy but food was good.
潮州卤水鸭做的中规中矩，味道相对清淡，但是很入味，个人偏好卤到再软烂点的鸭肉，这家的算刚好不软不硬的. 豆干味道和口感都刚刚好。

不确定从前有没有吃过竹仔鱼, 也许是第一次吃。鱼很小只，肉比较薄，骨头很细可是排列的很整齐也不易断，所以还蛮容易吃。苦瓜和豉汁真的是绝配，加上姜丝提味，好好吃，整盘都被吃得干干净净。

Omakase dinner @ IKYU

I went to IKYU near Tiong Barhu MRT last night for Omakase dinner. This Japanese restaurant was opened around Sep 2012, and is highly recommended by many friends / bloggers. The master chef is a young and handsome Japanese, and 2 chefs from Malaysia. Friendly staffs, comfortable ambiance, great food and services, gave me an unforgettable dining experience on my birthday night.
