After a long and disappointing day, we finally managed to get some good food at Toa Payoh Lorong 8 Food Centre. We got the beef noodle soup and it was really delicious. The aroma was really strong and worked up our appetite. The dish was well balanced, the soup and beef didn't overpower each other. That made the entire dish enjoyable to eat. Their home made chilli was actually rather sour but it gave an entire new taste to everything. It felt like swapping between two dishes and that made me enjoy the beef noodle more as my tongue couldn't get accustomed to the original taste.
The bowl of noodles was big enough for one person but since we shared it, we were still hungry for more. We then decided to eat something else to fill us up and we got popiah. This wasn't planned at all but it was so good that we put it into this episode. The popiah skin was dry and unaffected by the stewed turnips. The was a perfect ratio of different ingredients and sauce. The chilli paste inside heightened the taste of everything and the spiciness in contrast to the sweet sauce was really awesome. What i really liked about it was the skin. It didn't turn soggy and it had a chewy texture. The light sweetness and how it absorbed the flavours as you chew on it. The skin then takes on a totally different form in your mouth. You got to eat this one to know exactly what i'm talking about.
