Kko Kko Nara : Chicken Kko Kko Kei

This is abit late post. I & Kadice went to Kko Kko Nara for their famous chicken. It was our first visit to this Korean place. It is located at Tanjong Pagar area.

It was abit dark place but cozy for us to chat the whole night through. I read alot of rave about the chicken that it is sooooo delicious. With my expectation up several bars, I went with empty stomach

I must say, I taste the same chicken at Melbourne *Halla Restaurant*, so Kko Kko Nara doesnt impress me much anymore. Yes, I agree that it's tasty. If you have never tried this kind of fried chicken before, you should give it a try. But somehow, I'm not particularly blown away.

We ordered 1 mix chicken combo (honey glazed chicken + Garlic chicken + spicy chicken ) and a plate of pancake. Total bill: around SGD45

57 Tras Street
Telp: 6224 8186

I personally will give it 2.5 out of 5. You can try and let me know :)

Melbourne Food 1 - Pancake Parlour

I've been procrastinating to blog about this pancake heaven. The Man introduced me to this shop while we actually went to Melbourne Central to kill time. Conveniently located 3 storeys above the train station, no surprise it always catches the crowd.

When I look at the menu, it was full of variety and in some way confuse me. It took my addled brain two trips to roughly understand the menu there.



Menu taken from Pancake Parlour website



















My first visit to Pancake Parlour was for Breakfast. What is better than waking up to a sumptuous breakfast in the morning!!
The cut off time for breakfast is 12pm! In fact we visited the shop by 11.45am...not so early. We placed the order by 12pm, and a cute waiter helped us to push the order into the kitchen, and YES, we got our breakfast

Wise choice for breakfast:

Farmer's Breakfast: 2 buttermilk pancakes, homemade
hashbrown, two free range eggs served any style, with
whipped butter and maple syrup *thumbs up*


















Earl Grey Tea - served with fresh hot milk!



















As for the 2nd visit, we reached there for DINNER!!! yay! The choice is still there for dinner. An indulgence in this shops with all the pancake choice.

Scotch Fillet Steak rested on buckwheat pancakes,
crowned with mushroom sauces....slurp!
















Original Lemon and Sugar Pancake for Sweet desserts!


















Overall, my own review, I DReAM about this place! I'm just loving it. It's something new, some concept that Singapore should have. I hardly find a good pancake place in Singapore. To sum up, this place is LOVELY!

Half Boiled Eggs to the Perfection

Well, I'm not sure if I need to post this as recipe because it does not have any recipe at all in fact. I love eggs, particularly fried eggs with some crispy bites at the sides. However, everybody can fry eggs easily because you can see how the skin turns out, the color, etc.

The tricky part is when we try to make half-boiled eggs. You can not find out whether the egg white has turned solid? is it overcooked? too runny? So, there is a way to reach out to perfect half-boiled eggs. Those runny yolks with pepper and soya sauce. slurp!

There is an easy way to make perfect half-boiled eggs. It is with this below magic helper. My mom used to have this and it works very well. Fail-proof kind.

















However, if you don't have this maker at home, I can share with you the traditional way of making half-boiled eggs to the perfection, at least my version. Mom's way!

1. Boiled water until you see all those bubbles!!



2. Turn off the stove, and put in eggs. Eggs should be in room temperatures.
I accidentally crack an egg. Please ignore those messy white

3. Now, it's time for JumpBeeMama's trick. Check out those bubbles coming up from the eggs. You will see row of bubble up (just like in champagne! cheers!). This bubble thing will last for around 6 minutes if your eggs are with room temperatures.
If your eggs are straight from the fridge, the whole time should be around 7.5 minutes.
When there is no more bubbles, or maybe a little....it's time to serve the eggs!
(Time varies depend on what eggs you use. I use kampung eggs (free range chicken) here)


4. Lastly, Serve it with a teaspoon of soya sauce and little pepper!!! High in Protein, easy to serve!















Enjoy!!!
