Dinner at Pu Tien Tampines Mall

It was an unexpected day for me as my company last minute announce to us that we can leave at 4pm today! It's a joy to me and we were wondering what's the occasion? So, one colleague told us that company decides to shut down early...Oh boy. Not a good sign to us during this financial turmoil and I'm working in a US based company. Anyway, HR told us that the company is giving out Family Day so that we can spend time with our loved ones today and have dinner with them.

So, it's a bonus time for me to spend "my time" :p and I decide to drop by Tampines Mall for a stroll and de-stress. Yea, work has been hectic lately and I need a little break for myself :). I bought a skirt and a blouse and hubby join me later. He, as well take family day. Yes, his company do have family day once a month which they can take on any Friday of the month. Same here, they can leave at 4pm.

We spend sometime walking around the mall and we decided to have our dinner here. We went to Basement 1 and we pick Pu Tien as our dinner place.

Pu Tien is known for it's Hing Hua fried mee hoon and I decide to have this for my dinner. The rice noodle are very fine and they are generous with their ingredients. As you can see, it was overloaded with ingredients here. There are clams, big prawns, vegetables, seaweed, peanuts, slices of pork. The rice noodle is slightly dried but overall the taste is not too bad for a plate cost $6.Hubby chose Lor Mee and we ordered a side dish which is Fried yam covered with honey or some sweet sauce which I find it very refreshing.

The Lor mee is different from the one I had in Penang which the gravy is dark in color with some hint of 5 spices and very eggy looking. However, this is light and easy to eat. The serving is quite alot and I steal some from hubby.

Next is the Fried yam. For sweet tooth person like me, I love it. It's sweet and little crispy on the outside and warm in the inside. You have to eat it fast when it's hot else the outer layer will be hard and the honey or sugar coating will stuck to your teeth. Even, when it's hot you can feel that some of the honey/sugar stuck to your teeth. Anyway, I use my tongue to wash it away :D

Overall, the bill came to about SGD30 include service charge and tax for the 2 of us include tea. Not too cheap thou but I walk away happy and satisfied with the food I had.
