Singaporean / Malaysian food is quite difficult to locate in England but we managed to find a restaurant for it. Its called C and R restaurant and its located close to the infamous Wong Kei in Chinatown. I decided to treat D and his gf to a meal there to celebrate the completion of my phd thesis. I have eaten there on a number of occasions previously. D and I had Singapore fried prawn noodles (sotong mee), His gf C had the hainanese chicken rice while M had the Prawn noodle soup. All in all, we were quite happy with the food as the cooking was at least equivalent to that of the average hawker stalls in Singapore. In addition, we had teh tarik, kopi tarik and ice kachang for dessert. For a bunch of people who have been away from Singapore for some time, this was truly heavenly fare.
Subsequently, we did some shopping in Chinatown, specifically, I bought more cai sim. Its practically impossible to find cai sim in the British supermarkets here. They do have pak choi but for a very exorbitant price. So, I normally go to Chinatown to stock up on such green vegetables. M needs some greens in her diet. As we wanted to have udon soup tonight, we bought udon and japanese chilli powder. M bought some strange flavoured crisps. I hope its nice.
So for dinner, I added sukiyaki sauce to chicken stock to make udon soup. I also marinated some pork in teriyaki sauce and grilled it for a while before adding it to the noodles. And the white stuff is tofu.
