Old Favourites of Mine

It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and my family and I decided to go for Sunday Brunch. After some thought, I decided to bring them to an old favourite of mine, the famous kway chap stall at the corner coffeeshop at the junction of MacPherson Road and MacPherson Lane.


This stall run by an old man, has been around for as long as I can remember. I was first brought there in 1999 by my colleagues, and since then, I have brought many friends there. Although I used to frequent the place regularly before, it has been quite awhile since I was last there. Nothing has changed.



The food was still very good and everything looks very appetizing. The braised duck is tender, the big and small intestines are soft and tender too, and the gravy has a slight herbal taste to it. I especially like the deep fried pig intestines, crispy and yet still remains succulent and juicy.


The bowl of kway always makes me hungry. Soupy and the kway slices are thin and does not stick together. The gravy added to the top smells very tempting.



It was a wonderful brunch, although the wait was rather long even though there was not much of a crowd when we first arrived at 11am. By 11:30am, the place was quite packed and the wait would be much longer I am sure.


And to top it off, after the meal, we drove to Highland Centre along Yio Kang Road, near the junction with Upper Serangoon Road, and bought my favourite durian puffs from the 717 Cakerie.


You have to taste them to believe how good they are. Filled generously with real durain flesh, these puffs are absolutely delicious. And the way to eat them is to put the whole puff into your mouth at one go. Believe me, you will not regret it.
