Foodie Friday: What The Stars Ate This Week (Nov 12-19)

What he ate: Prawn mee

Yummy factor: The mouthwatering bowl of hae mee Thomas shared on Instagram tempted his followers so much, several left comments asking for the stall's name and location (looks like Ah Sai Pork Rib Prawn Noodle, which the actor is a fan of). Well, it’s hard not to crave for some, especially with that generous amount of prawns and crisp pork lard garnishing the noodles.

What he ate: Rojak

Yummy factor: Although Bryan and MasterChef Singapore alumnus Gen Lee spent hours under the blazing sun filming for variety show Old Taste Detective 3, they were duly rewarded with yummy old-school rojak served the traditional way — having it al fresco and wrapped in leaves.

What she ate: Dim sum, pizza and more

Yummy factor: There’s really no reason to dine out when you can have just about everything you crave for delivered to your doorstep. For Jamie, that means dim sum, fried beef kway teow, pizza, and even a slice of carrot cake from Baker & Cook. She sure looks like she can't wait to dig into them.

What they ate: Korean BBQ

Yummy factor: In JJ’s own words, the food at Korean BBQ restaurant Songane is “legit” — especially so for the sizzling beef short ribs with sliced onions on the side. And clearly, good friend Junyang agrees.

What they ate: Teochew fish soup

Yummy factor: Thanks to former Mott 32 head chef Dee Chan's recommendation, the ladies met up for some comforting fish soup, as well as lala porridge, from Chao Zhou Teochew Fish Soup in an Ang Mo Kio kopitiam. We bet it was shiok to have their hearty dishes served in Teochew-style claypots — they would have kept the soup and porridge warm till the last drop.

What she ate: Homemade noms

Yummy factor: From kueh dadar to Korean streusel bread and yakitori, Yvonne has been busy whipping up homemade goodness while her kids were in school. She even found the time to bake a birthday cake adorned with piped cream flowers for a friend. How sweet.

What they ate: Old Chang Kee’s latest creation

Yummy factor: ...And that’s the adorable Panda Mala Chicken’O puff, created to celebrate Singapore’s first giant panda cub’s first 100 days. The Muttons got to try the crisp treat before it’s official one-day-only release this coming Sunday (Nov 21), and Vernon couldn’t help but notice how much the panda curry puff resembles Justin. What do you think?

What they ate: Hor fun and toast

Yummy factor: Carole and Zhaorong enjoyed a picnic in the park, where they indulged in hor fun, toast and cuppas of hot milk tea. And they even got a slice of cheesecake for dessert. Talk about attention to detail.

What they drank: Yamazaki 55 Year Old with their omakase

Yummy factor: Fann and Chris got first dibs on the rare Japanese whisky at a tasting session held at Ren Lounge. Not only is it House of Suntory’s oldest release till date, there are only a hundred bottles available outside of Japan, of which four are in Singapore.

What she ate: Milkshake at Joji's Diner

Yummy factor: It sure seems like Chantalle loves a good milkshake after a hard day’s work — although who wouldn’t? Well, she’s definitely into her Strawberry Paddlepop shake, with lots of whipped cream and edible rainbow sprinkles.

What they ate: Minion-themed nosh

Yummy factor: A visit to the Minion Cafe for #JustSwipeLah saw foodies Sin Nee and Juin trying all things bello-licious — think Scallop Minion Pizza, Minion Pumpkin Mantou with chilli crab sauce, and even a Minion Banana Boat for dessert. And of course, their beverages had to be inspired by the Despicable Me characters too. Check out their review.

What she ate: Hawker fare

Yummy factor: Cycling for hours surely worked up Pat’s appetite. She stopped by Bedok Food Centre for a late dinner of sugar cane juice, chicken satay and fried Hokkien mee with lots of sambal belacan on the side.

What she ate: Comfort food

Yummy factor: Bonnie’s lunch was nothing short of indulgent. Aside from a hearty burger with what looks like fried chicken, scrambled egg, cheese, and lots of fries, she also had room for a waffle with ice cream and chocolate sauce. Yum.

What she ate: Beef noodles

Yummy factor: In case you were wondering why You Yi is beaming so widely, it’s because she’s a huge fan of beef noodles, especially when it’s a hearty combination of springy Chinese-style la mian, braised beef, soft tendon and more.

What they ate: Healthy lunch

Yummy factor: The girlfriends’ leisurely lunch at Trapeze Rec. Club’s Canteen saw them tucking into healthy eats like yoghurt bowls with peanut butter and jelly, as well as sourdough toast with hummus and avocado — perfect with their iced coffees on a warm day.

​​​​​​​What she ate: Hairy crabs

Yummy factor: Apple just had to have her fave hairy crabs one last time before the season for these roe-filled crustaceans concludes. And she managed to do so at Chinese resto Shang Social, along with small bites like braised gluten, smoked fish and drunken chicken.

What she ate: Cable car dining

Yummy factor: Kimberly, who is expecting her first child, has always wanted to experience dining in a cable car, and finally got to do so this week to celebrate a special occasion — her husband’s birthday. Drinks and delicious grilled salmon bentos aside, the picturesque views of Sentosa were a winner as well.

What she ate: Century egg congee

Yummy factor: This week, Xiuhuan recreated a dish from her childhood — century egg congee with meatballs and goji berries. It was a staple cooked by her mum, and even Xiuhuan’s daughters love it. This time, however, she decided to pair it with fried dough fritters for added crunch and texture. And from the looks of it, it was a welcome change.

What she ate: Brunch

Yummy factor: Sunday is all about taking things down a notch and relaxing. And for Hayley, that means heading out for a sumptuous brunch — think grilled sausages, mash, eggs and greens — and a cup of Joe.

What she ate: French cuisine

Yummy factor: Joanna celebrated her 40th birthday with fine French eats at La Dame de Pic, where she indulged in everything from an exquisite sea urchin tartlet to Breton lobsters and berlingots filled with cheese fondue. What a real treat it must have been.

What he ate: Burger and fries

Yummy factor: Kunhua checked out new burger joint Out of the Bun and was pretty impressed with his Pulled Chick burger which came stuffed full with juicy slow-cooked cooked chicken, fresh lettuce and sweet-tangy slaw. Plus, it’s hard to say no to truffle fries.

What she ate: Italian food

Yummy factor: The Kin actress and her husband Boom Gonzalez had a dinner date at Italian restaurant Lino, and looks like they both enjoyed the menu for the night — smoked salmon trout and smoked scamorza cheese, tender Italian roast chicken, garganelli with lamb ragout and more.
