Premium Dried Scallop Porridge
This porridge with dried scallop plus slices of fish and cuttle fish in a claypot can fill up to 3 bowls. Aone is the name of the restaurant at Nex Mall. It gives a 50% discount on certain menu like the above from 10:30am to 5:00pm.
If you do not want the peanuts and the glass of water you will save $2. I paid a total of $8.55.
The porridge is delicious but a little oily. The restaurant has a nice ambience. Service was good.
Overall: Worth the money spent.
Japanese Yong Tau Foo-- Oden
Oden is a Japanese winter dish consisting of several ingredients such as boiled eggs, daikon, konjac, and processed fishcakes stewed in a light, soy-flavoured dashi broth. Ingredients vary according to region and between each household. Karashi is often used as a condiment.
Oden was originally what is now commonly called misodengaku or simply dengaku; konnyaku or tofu was boiled and eaten with miso. Later, instead of using miso, ingredients were cooked in dashi and oden became popular.
Oden is often sold from food carts, and most Japanese convenience stores have simmering oden pots in winter. Many different kinds of oden are sold, with single-ingredient varieties as cheap as 100 yen.
Exchange rate is S$ 1 = 89.5 Yen
US$ 1 = 115 Yen
$500 of noodles sold in 3 hours?
This bowl of fish ball noodles cost $3.50. The stall is in my neighbourhood and it also sell prawn noodles, laksa and other varieties of noodles. The stall is owned by a brother and 2 sisters. They do the noodles themselves except for 1 worker.
The other day I overhead them talking about the amount of sales they did in just 3 hours of a weekday morning. Gosh it was about $500. By the time they closed in the night it would amount to at least $1,500 of sales. Minus the costs of rental,their salaries as well as the worker's salary and the raw material I guess they make around $1,000 a day. Multiply that by 30 days they would make $30,000 a month. They worked very hard and not only their food is good, they are very nice and polite people.
My wife and I frequent this stall at least twice a week.
