A Straits Chinese concoction of carrot soup, lady's finger's shrimp, soft cabbage,braised meat, sweetened spiced chicken, sour preserved vegetable and family that surrounds this spread is a tradition worth to continue.

Singapore Food: Fast Food Special 6 (Mos burger)

Mos burger

Opening hours: Sun-Thu, 10am-10.30pm; Fri-Sat, 10am-11pm (Some outlets open till 11.30pm)
Price: $7.20 (Varies)

Cuisine: Japanese

 

Should there be packaged goodness in a while, MOS Burger has it. With its unique variety of rice burger, the Japanese recipe burger which may have been customized for the locals is worth the anticipation for it to warm and wrapped in clean fashion and white semi matt- semi glossy hand friendly paper with that quality feel. When undone to dine, a delightful marvel unveils the fragrant colors and fresh aroma of freshly prepared treats. The sauce should be the major reason that gives the rice burger its characteristic flavor and niceties. 

Adorned with the regular cut seaweed strip, the deep textural green adhering below the white based rice top cover and complementing the orangy deep fried ebi elevates the burger to a class of artful pleasantness to the consumer and onlookers alike. As a delectable side, the thickly crispy Hokkaido potato croquette becomes an interesting combination to the main and with it. You are filled with a light main and a heavier side and whatever that food philosophy if any is intended for, the conclusion is of intrigue. 

The rice variety also comes in Teriyaki sauced chicken, and I believe in all its traditional flavors incorporated. If you still have room, do sample its peach tea for that complete if not stereotypical menu of modern cosmopolitan lifestyle snacking.

Yo- i -shinoya. This is always a very clean and neat take away and dine-in pieces on the dining top. The theme is simple and wholesome, for every dish or combo series. My favorite is a collection and not limited to the food gallery depict here. There is the crispy and very tantalizing teriyaki chicken with the traditional sauce and mayonnaise freshened with a couple of cropped cabbage on Japanese soft rice. The color is balanced and full, the fragrance focused: it is teriyaki and piping hot crispy chicken and the warmth of the clean rice just make it a fulfilling piece. Then for the seafood lovers, the bread crumbed ebi trio is just an intuitive treat to go through the three in continuous sequence, leaving the oden ( radish and much in kelp base soup) to fill the rice and baby vegetables. The soft Kobe meat (i presume) is tender and thinly sliced, all well worked in   with these slightly savory sweet onion shreds or crescents that alone suffice with the rice. Ever want a staple food menu, try Yoshinoya where you can even have the coleslaw as the side to top up your greens nourishment.

Cuisine: Chinese

Pork ribs with special sauce is a feast to the eyes. Atypical to the normal reddish look of most ribs, the yellow special sauce covering the typical reddish meat and topped with sparsely scattered black sesame seeds, you will be drawn to have this dish with many bowls of steamed white rice. The meat is especially soft and the sauce makes the whole dish softer in look and taste for more receptivity. The sweetness and tangy feel of the dish is well balanced and a sure treat for one and all. Fried bean curd is crispy and soft that goes well with the meat for a mellow evening treat. Being crispy helps to interest one who delights in crispiness of a dish and so a dish not to be missed. Being savory, it goes well with the plain white rice and also good to eat on its own.
