I ate this Fish Soup Bee Hoon again after some time back at this neighbourhood coffee shop stall at Blk 444 at Pasir Ris Drive 6.
The weighing scale is still there to give each customer equal measure of their sliced fish order. Prices remained at $3, $4 and $5 dollars, depending on the weight of the fish slices.
This time though, I 'da pow' (ordered take-away) and they provide a really good looking plastic container with plastic spoon and wooden disposable chop sticks.
The fish soup bee hoon maintained its light yellow broth filled with fat slices of fish and white round bee hoon and I did not mind the relatively bland soup base as I was not keep to load up on MSG and other salty precipitates.
The fish soup bee hoon's diced chilli immersed in light soya sauce and other seasoning retained the tastiness that I remember from my last visit.
Recommendation:
Score for sliced fish soup bee hoon (yu pian mi fen) : 7 out of 10

Deep Fried Baby Squid
Today's featured Pasir Ris dish is the deep fried baby squid that I tasted at a small zi char stall at the Pasir Ris Town Park near the fishing pond. If you visit Pasir Ris Town Park Pond Fishing area, it is the stall located at a corner of the single storey shop.
Deep Fried Baby Squid is a rather high fat, high cholesterol dish that should be indulged infrequently. That said, there are so many other deep fried dishes around Pasir Ris that are tasty, irresistible and convenient to feed on.
The Deep Fried Baby Squid at this stall in Pasir Ris is done the way I prefer - crispy on the outside with a little soft gelatinous crunch in the middle. The seasoning is an unusual mouth-watering additive that I have not sampled elsewhere.
Even if you feel squeamish about the little tentacle-like bits of the Deep Fried Baby Squid, you should give it a try.
Recommendation:
Deep fried baby squid = 7.5 out of 10.

Best Indian Rojak in Pasir Ris
I like to eat this stall's Indian Rojak at Elias Mall coffeeshop. This must count as the best Indian Rojak in Pasir Ris that I have found so far.
Why do I say that it has the best Indian Rojak in Pasir Ris? Partly because I can eat it for lunch and dinner and not get tired of it.
The main reason is the Indian Rojak gravy. As you know, all the various items that together make up Indian rojak must rely on the gravy to carry the dish. Because the various items are deep fried till crisp, when you taste the selected Indian rojak food, they tend to be feel quite similar.
However, I have found that with the addition of Indian rojak gravy, it can bring out the best taste in this uniquely Indian dish.
This stall's Indian rojak gravy has a sweet base with just the right consistency, peanutty texture, right amount of spiciness without too much of chilli. I like my food without the overpowering taste of chilli and this stall's Indian Rojak is perfect for my taste buds.
The prices are reasonable and you will not burn a hole in your pocket. Neither would you need to withdraw lots of money from your bank account or financial investments to support a food craving at a kopitiam-like stall such as this.
