“New World Mutton Soup” came highly recommended for having one of the best hawker-style mutton soups in Singapore so a visit was quickly arranged.

To be frank, if you’re a frequent reader of this blog, this post might come as a surprise to you. Well, it surprised even me! But I remember that I would post more of our local hawker cuisine on my blog. So, this post adds on to the ever-growing list: No. 18 Zion Road Char Kway Teow and Covent Garden Kway Chap.

Do you still remember the Beef Noodles that came with a thick gravy from long ago at Scotts Shopping Centre? I DO, albeit vaguely! Although I have since forgotten what the taste of the noodles was but I vaguely remember the current dish looking somewhat familiar.

Fond memories aside, looking at this bowl of beef noodles from a new perspective, I thought that it was a dish that’s hard not to like. With the flavourful gravy paired with thin slices of beef, that’s like THE perfect combination.

Oh, the beef balls were definitely irresistible too! And all that for less than S$10 (you can even have a drink with it and not exceed that amount!). Simple comforts for the soul, I’d say.

Everyone get cravings. It’s not just the prerogative of pregnant woman. Just as we would give in to any of the demands, however absurd they may be, of the mother of our children, we always give in to the weird cravings that our tummy calls out for without complaints.

On my last trip back to Singapore, I had one of those cravings. It was 10pm and I had just landed in Changi from Perth. I was hungry. And the meal that my tummy called out for, was not a five course French dinner or a plate of Italian pasta, it was a plate of potentially artery-clogging plate of Char Kway Teow (CKT).
