Saw the advertisement on television promoting the bundle deal of three dishes by Tun Xiang Hokkien Delights (豚香福建馆). Thought that it was a good deal plus the fact I have not been to the place yet. Dragged mum along to Northpoint City mall on a hot weekend afternoon since I couldn't possibly finish the set meal alone.
Upon seated, the wait staff informed us that you can scan the QR code on the table to access the digital menu plus order. Placed ordered for the Bundled Deal (S$28.80++) consisting of the Signature Hokkien Mee, Iberico Pork Fried Beancurd and White Pepper Collagen Pig Stomach Soup.
The Signature Hokkien Mee (招牌黑猪福建面) came with a mixture of yellow noodles and bee hoon (rice vermicelli) served over banana leaf. At a glance, one can spot prawns, squids, matchstick sized pork and plenty of deep-fried pork lards soaked in the gravy. While the overall taste is decent, the flavour profile of the prawn is not pronounced enough like they didn’t use enough prawn heads and shells to render out the prawn oil.
Both of us enjoyed the Iberico Pork Fried Beancurd (酥炸黑猪酿卜) a lot. The minced pork is well seasoned and stuffed into fried bean curd puffs before going into hot oil. The puff outside is crispy while the meat is juicy. Remember to dip the whole thing into the sweet thick sauce for the complete package before devouring it.
Was reminded that the White Pepper Collagen Pig Stomach Soup (胶原胡椒猪肚汤) is hot when it was served. It came with thinly sliced Iberico pork, tripe, fish maw and garnished with coriander and chilli. Taking a sip of the soup, I can detect the stickiness of the collagen on the lips and the spiciness of peppercorns though I would have enjoyed a stronger peppery taste. Both the tripe and pork were tender enough but the fish maw needs a longer cooking time to get to the softer texture I preferred.
While I enjoyed the meal, mum is a lot harder to please. She claims that the noodles look like last night leftover and other than the fried bean curd, I don’t think she like the other two dishes.

Testo’s, Bridgeport, CT
My parents brought me sandwiches from Testo’s in Bridgeport, CT this weekend and I realized I’d never posted about the restaurant or their food here.
Testo’s “was” a legendary Connecticut restaurant for folks “in the know” that closed at the end of 2022, selling the land to be developed as a high rise, supposedly. A classic blue collar hangout, where carpenters, electricians, plumbers and painters all went to unwind, it was the “Cheers” of local contractors. My dad included. At the bar on Saturdays you could get massive $5 roast beef and roast pork sandwiches till they ran out, sometimes as early as 1pm...
On the most pillowy Portuguese rolls you could imagine, no less!
Their tripe was some of the best we’ve had anywhere in the world...
Bowls of housemade hot peppers and pickled onions littered the bar...
Drinks were stiff and cheap, the pours were generous.
Testo’s was a secret spot for those in the know and they will be sorely missed...
However, it’s not all doom and gloom as Testo’s always maintained a second, less frequented location, a “pizzeria”, which is still open. This is where my folks went on Saturday as they now sell these famous sandwiches and tripe soup. And I’m happy to report the food is just as good as at the “original”, even is it was takeout for us. Now looking forward to sitting down and eating there soon!

🥩 Vietnamese pho with beef brisket, tripe, tendon and omosa, topped with onions, coriander and spring onion (💸$8.95) from 📍Pho Bang on Mott Street, Chinatown!
🍜 I've been here once before, but bought takeout. I loved it, and since then I've been determined to eat in ever since. 🇻🇳 I can't judge how authentic it is, but I can vouch for good food and friendly and fast service!

Weirdest thing I enjoy is definitely tripe. There's a chinese place near me that makes a really good braised tripe
Hey!
Ive never actually had tripe! I may have to look into trying some out. Maybe I’m about to find a new favourite.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Cheers
Tay!

MOTSU-NIKOMI( Japanese tripe stew) set meal, 900yen, “NAGASAKI CHAMPON & SARA UDON restaurant", Setagaya 1-chome MOTSU-NIKOMI was more like a miso soup with lots of ingredients. It was like a "Miso soup set meal (with one more miso soup). It was delicious. I should have ordered a big bowl of rice. 世田谷1丁目「長崎ちゃんぽん・皿うどん」の店で、もつ煮込み定食900円。 煮込みっていうか、具沢山の味噌汁みたいな感じだった。 「味噌汁定食(味噌汁付き)」みたいな。 美味しかった。 ライスを大盛りにすればよかった。 #もつ煮込み #長崎ちゃんぽん #皿うどん #世田谷 #tripe #hotopot ? #gumbo ? #nikomi #pork #tokyo #japan (長崎ちゃんぽん皿うどん) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJ7TCDyf6N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Incredible meal at @emiliosballato - "Veal Antonio" leads the pics here because it's absolutely beautiful, but the cherry pepper pork chop once again steals the show. Incredible! Swipe to see the best table bread in the game, followed by tender tripe, a special paccheri vodka with prosciutto, a couple pics of that pork and a close up of the veal, followed by dessert and espresso. This place is awesome. Thank you @chefanthony_ballatosnyc for a great night! #veal #vealparm #vealparmigiana #tripe #focaccia #italianfood #italian #ballato #emiliosballato #porkchop #porkchops #prosciutto #beef #beefitswhatsfordinner #meat #carnivore #eeeeeats #forkyeah #🇮🇹 (at Emilio's Ballato) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck_LMsDOyIT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

All The Dunce Caps In My Head & Drinking OJ
All the dunce caps in my head sprouting outwards
What’s left for us?
Thinking in Social
Pondering Business
Into the mind left Mental
That leads into
The lead pipes take from here
On the street
The lead was made into piping
Not in water at all
Until chemicals contaminated
See in Appendix
Flint
Flint is not only for starting fires
It’s the place for contamination in the water
The parts per millionths
Not safe enough to drink
Or to grow upon
At least by the Humans
The green grass is resilient
Stages in college degrees even in beginning
All this stuff eaten up
Collegiate
Where have you been n Studies
You missed a whole bunch of sectors still grounding you in good food music fashion apps sneakers and the class your sorting with it’s just easy as A E I O U
Affecting
Effecting
Infecting
Oh live
You, U
& you other in emotional atmosphere
Affecting
Effecting
Infecting
Oh live
You, U
& you other in emotional atmosphere
Where do we all belong
Pounds or prisons
Refugee in dollars
And Leaders in stands
Bombing Ukraine
Stiking a Strip
And his face causes turmoil
Is all Trump
The sand friends
Didn’t do his killings
Fore the love of rich Golf
All precessions for MAGA
Married with
Communistic conspiracies
Who couldn’t?
It’s all dunced capped
Smarter than most I knew where I began
And the affiliates or opposite afflicted
Speak on stand more
Spoiled orange
Don’t eat
Can you get this done faster than OJ?
Dear Trump
Please get done faster than OJ
Please get done
Look for a picture
Just get this done faster
I’m fine you looking at something
Just get it done faster than OJ
J is vowel
So is V
Throbbing shacket never mind the retailers
It’s what he wears
Just not without and buttonlessness
If it was up to him
He would be horseback shirtless
Trump would stopped bathing in the suns
Had he one
With Putin
The Middle is all confusing from here
Where do the both sides
Land
Is it bunker or walled
A Cardinal flys over
A Phoenix flys around
Thinking of clubs in the apps
I grab Albatross
Where’s your hit posted
PostTragicJan6
PostTraffickedSexDeny
Well talk about Wife already
Dear Donald
