Koufu

As I got down from the bridge outside Commonwealth MRT station, and looking up at the block number 88 - auspicious number, I was pleasantly surprised at the pretty pink bougainvillea flowers clusters overhanging the corridor wall at the floors above. The ground floor sits the Koufu Food Court. The many stalls offer a variety of food items. It's easy to find a favourite. However I'm having iced milk tea only. It's richly creamy, yet costs $1.50 only. And the staff is polite too. Nice.

First time trying their thunder tea rice today. the whole point of thunder tea rice is the generous amount of vegetables (as there will be no meat unless you top up) and the soup. However to my surprise the amount of vegetables i got from this stall were so skimpy at the price tag of 6.8 sgd! the cost of vegetables are not even high to begin with. The soup portion was so small. Taste wise the soup was not bad. Just find the amount of vegetables does not correspond with the high price tag. So disappointing!

There is a curry Chee cheong fun stall here and while it is a Substantial portion with lots of ingredients ( I ordered the $6.50 which has fried pig skin,taukee, roasted pork, char siew , fried meatballs) the curry was on the sweet side. Not spicy enough. Three are two types of chilli paste : One dark red sweet one (meh) One orangy slightly sourish spicy ( preferred choice ) At first I was impressed with the portion but the taste frankly is only so-so. After eating it halfway , start to feel "jelat" coz curry is sweet instead of spicy,and the cold fried meatballs contain more flour than meat . The roasted meat and char siew were cold and slightly tough.
