Authentic Mun Chee Kee KING of Pig's Organ Soup

Authentic Mun Chee Kee King of Pig's Organ Soup

When travelling or working abroad, it's best that we do not just visit tourist attractions but also try dishes that are out of the ordinary.

Situated along the street of Jalan Besar, a main road which is popular for authentic cuisine, you can find a restaurant best known for its pig organ soup, Cheng Mun Chee Kee.

It was around 4:00pm when we reached the place.
The ambience inside the restaurant is very cozy.
The tables and chairs are made of wood, that makes the restaurant got the homey feeling.
Not what you would expect in a fine dining restaurant but still up to my standards.

Pig Organ Soup

The soup is very tasty and flavourful unlike other pig organ's soup I've tried.
Sabi nga (as they say) in Filipino, sabaw pa lang ulam na.
The soup is surprisingly not peppery. The organs and innards have no noticeably piggy smell.
Di sya malansa. Although a little bit overcooked but nevertheless, still good.
The minced meat and meatballs both taste superb.

Too bad, we did not try their chili.
We also did not know we can have our soup refilled. Wah!

Braised Pig Trotter

The pig trotter was very tender. A mixture of soya sauce and vinegar.
Not too sweet and also not sour. To give a fresher taste, parsley was added on top.
So you can smell the aroma of the dish. Yummy!

Chicken in Sesame Oil

This is a version of our Pinoy adobo.
Taste is so-so. Nothing surprising. But not disappointing.

Vegetable in Oyster Sauce

I have not been to a Chinese restaurant that does not offer this dish.
The veggie is not overcooked. Just got the right amount of sauce.

We just spent S$24.00 for the whole meal. Cheap but very sumptous.

Will I come back to this restaurant? Definitely.
On your next trip, don't forget to add this to your Itinerary.

I've been wanting to try out this restaurant for quite some time. So last Sunday, after attending the mass at St. Anthony Church, we headed for a very sumptuous dinner at Causeway Point.

 True to its tagline, they serve big portions. It really has a value for money. 

Inviting Menu.

Cute eh? :-)

Twin Double Slider. Price: S$12.90

This is For The Win! The fries was unexpectedly good.  

Chicken Fettucine. Price: S$14.90

I love the taste of this pasta. Very creamy. Not the usual Carbonara that they serve in other restaurants.

Well done Steak and Fries. Price: S$22.90

I might not be the best judge on this since I am not really a fan of steaks. 

When I tried this, it's just a normal steak for me.

Bolognese with Meatballs. Price: S$13.90

I love the meatballs. It has liver in it so as not to make it nakakaumay. Yummy!

The next time I will make meatballs at home, I will surely add liver. :-)

The pasta is just normal. Nothing spectacular.

Overall, I would recommend this restaurant. Great Food. The ambience is nice. The staffs were friendly. Big servings! What more could you ask for?

Infinity Pool. I was speechless for a moment. 

It was my first time to see something breathtaking. 

What a dazzling experience!

I hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as I did. 

Till my next post.

Sunset at Lower Peirce Reservoir Park

I love sunset photos! It reminds me of tranquility, peace and serenity. I feel I am home. Enjoy!

Just beyond the sunset
Someone waits for me

Just beyond the sunset
Lies my destiny
Where the purple mountains

Lie in deep tranquillity

There I’ll find the treasure

Of love eternally

Just beyond the sunset
Waits someone so fair
Just beyond the sunset
All alone they wait thereTheir hair is golden
The colours of the sand
Their eyes sparkle in the night

Like diamonds in your hand

Just beyond the sunset

Lies a home for me

Where the world is peaceful

Like a paradise should be

Just beyond the sunset

Someday is where you’ll find me

(We were waiting for the sunset when Obie took this photo. I actually got tired jumping :D)

Comments and Criticisms are highly appreciated :D

Enjoy!
