Zheng Yi Hainanese Beef Noodles at Thai Thong Cres

This humble looking stall is located in Kin Seng Coffeeshop at Thai Thong Cres and started in the 1990s by Mdm Hong Siew Fong and her son. The beef broth, soup and gravy are all prepared way beforehand but the ingredients are freshly cooked on the spot upon ordering. There are only 2 prices to the noodles, $7 for small bowl and $10 for big bowl of dry or soup noodles. 

Customers can opt for mix or just pure sliced beef. The mix can be brisket, innards, tendons with sliced beef. Beef balls can also be ordered at $1 for 2 balls. We went for a bowl of dry version with brisket and sliced beef and another pure slice beef with beef balls. The gravy was thick and glossy and topped with fried shallots, salted vegetables and crushed peanuts. Unlike the usual beef noodle chain, the gravy of the noodles is simply awesome together with the soup.

The ingredients are simply generous and the beef slices and brisket are cooked to the right texture. The beef balls are simply bouncy and crunchy as well. Though the noodles are little pricey, I would still think it's worth it. For a bowl of authentic Hainanese beef noodle, I would strongly reccomend Zheng Yi. Do note it closes at 4pm daily.

Steak Land at Kobe Japan

After an afternoon shopping at Kobe premium outlets, we took a 45mins bus ride to Kobe town for their Kobe beef. We went to Steak Land located near Sannomiya train station. It is about 10mins walk from the station. 

Steak Land is divided into two levels: the ground level, where you're seated in front of the chef, and the upper level, which boasts private tables in a more intimate setting. We shared the table with 2 other couples touring Kobe. 

We ordered 2 affordable Kobe beef set, one special at 6500yen and the other ordinary at 5900yen. Each set comes with salad, soup, pickles, smoked salmon salad, seafood appetizer, vegetables and of course, the 200g kobe beef. The set ends with a scoop of yuzu sorbet and cup of coffee. 

Would say the kobe beef was definitely one of the best beef that we had taken. It was so juicy and tender and simply melts in your mouth. Awesome grilling skills by the chef! The seafood appetizer was very fresh as well. 

It comes with octopus, prawn and scallop fragrantly fried in front of you with butter. The fried beansprouts and cabbage were our main vegetable source for the meal. The fried garlic accompanied with the beef was simply a heavenly combination. 

Guess after this meal, no other beef tasted so nice in SG. The yuzu sorbet cleansed off the oiliness. For affordable and good kobe beef, do give Steak Land a try.
