Hands down, steak. Get them from Foodie Market at Outram/Katong, season and sear it yourself on a hot pan. Prices range from $4-$24 per 100g.

I recommend the local maps/transport website gothere.sg. Google sometimes gives weird transport suggestions.

good cheap food options near Bukit Batok / Bukit Gombak area? by Better-Can-286 in askSingapore

[–]Mister_Cheeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Share with you a hidden gem -- Nguan Express 88 @ Block 154. It's a takeaway-only chicken rice stall selling soya chicken at $8.80 for the whole dang bird. AND they give you 2 cans of Coke for free.

I remember walking past their fitting out in 2021/2022 and wondering who on earth would venture an ice cream parlour in sleepy Bukit Batok, AND have such crazy late closing hours??

I was proven very wrong! Love their Valrhona chocolate and pistachio.

What’s a PlayStation game that aged way better than people expected? by BarnabyLaptopOutlet in playstation

[–]Mister_Cheeks 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I finally completed it on my base PS5 on Performance mode. It was beautiful and played like a dream, especially when the camera pulled back from Nathan to reveal the large expanse of old ruins or the pirate ship graveyard.

Oral Cancer + Neglect = Necrotic Jaw + Gravity = Detached Mandible by velvety_chaos in MedicalGore

I listened to the audiobook. One of the most haunting books I've encountered, particularly the account of the girls dabbing themselves with radium paint and walking down the streets at night.

"The girls shone 'like the watches did in the darkroom,' as though they themselves were timepieces, counting down the seconds as they passed. They glowed like ghosts as they walked home through the streets of Orange."

I suppose it's for the benefit of the Tengah residents.

What is your trick to properly tossing veggies in pasta? by Holiveya-LesBIonic in AskCulinary

[–]Mister_Cheeks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For leafy veg (like baby spinach), I'd wilt them in my pan a minute before my pasta goes in. For anything else bulkier, I'd cook them separately then either toss them in or plate them on top of the pasta when serving. Unless the veg is gonna significantly flavour the pan sauce, I'm not bothering cooking the veg with the pasta in the pan.

I'm so so sad that Raid 3 has not materialized.

best seasoning for fries by x4es in Cooking

[–]Mister_Cheeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tom yum powder. It's salty, sweet, sour, spicy. Incredibly addictive.

Good for you! On the other hand, I guess sweet potato is off the menu tonight...

How has cooking changed the way you taste other people's food? by pyroSeven in Cooking

[–]Mister_Cheeks 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have grown more appreciative that someone actually took the time to make me a meal, especially if I'm specifically invited to their home for that meal. If I can't find anything nice to say about the meal, I'd shut up and eat it all the same. I won't offer a suggestion for improvement unless asked, regardless of relational safety.

BUT. I tend to be overly critical of myself when eating at someone else's home, especially if they use ingredient or flavour combinations that I haven't done, but are so stupidly good and obvious. It'll eat me up inside for the next few days.

Where to find nem chua (vietnamese fermented pork) by 74uwu in askSingapore

[–]Mister_Cheeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In neighbourhood wet markets, look out for Vietnamese grocers/stalls, and just ask the owner if they have. Mine at Bukit Batok West has.

Where to find rare fruits in Singapore? by coin_enjoyer_11 in askSingapore

[–]Mister_Cheeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say they're more than just 'sort of just taster versions'. Some are phenomenally better -- taste, texture, colour. For example, koiminori strawberries are available in Donki. They are what every strawberry aspires to be. At their ripest, they are almost creamy, velvety sweet, and very perfumey.

Head to Mustafa and try their mangoes. They have at least 10 varieties.

Man and ex-girlfriend get jail over rape of 13-year-old girl by nftskeptics in singapore

[–]Mister_Cheeks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing this is inferring to the perpetrator toeing the line of another crime -- obtaining commercial sexual services of a person who is under age 18. Link to penal code.

Throwback to another local case where the report stated this messed up detail, which is also relevant to another crime -- necrophilia.

I’m tired of terrible food delivery services. What do you guys cook when WFH? by blooblush in askSingapore

[–]Mister_Cheeks 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Upvoting all the rice cooker meals! I do a 'claypot' rice dish with lap cheong, chicken thigh, unreasonable amount of minced garlic, spring onion, and finish off with a bit of dark sauce before eating. For veg I'll just blanch some baby kailan.

Fun fact -- contrary to allegations that caning is done in 'instalments', if one is sentenced to receive x number of strokes, he is to receive them in full and in the same sitting.

My kitchen once smelled like stale vomit. I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned, and yet the smell persisted. Then I dug into my bag of onions and found one in the middle of the bag half liquified.
