For some reason, I feel like I've eaten quite a lot of hot pot in the past month. Whether at Hai Di Lao or DIY-ing at home, hot pot ingredients have been on my mind. So, I thought I'd offer my own ranking of hot pot ingredients. S Tier Xia hua (duh. actually the ones you get in supermarkets are really legit.) Fried tofu skin The Hai Di Lao mushroom appetiser A tier Sliced fish Non-marinated meats (Dondondonki is ever-reliable) Scallop Green leafy vegetables (gotta be healthy) Quail eggs (which came first, the chicken or the quail?) Wantons/dumplings B tier Marinated meats (marination can be a bit of a hit and miss. also, extra work if doing at home) Prawn/Crab/Lobster (very expensive, also quite a lot of work to eat) Innards (shiok, but not everyone's cup of tea) Non-green leafy vegetables (healthy, not so tasty) Noodles (need some carbs. https://www.fairprice.com.sg/product/premium-shaved-noodles-bundle-set---original--spinach highly recommend) C tier Mushrooms Black fungus (will eat, not a fan) Corn (good for soup flavour, terrible to eat) Carrot/yam/potato etc (yawn) Chicken (the most boring of meats) Bottom tier Beancurd (eeee. I don't understand why anyone likes flavour-less and texture-weird tofu) Konjac/glutinous anything (again, weird texture) Luncheon meat/sausage/cocktail sausage (you're not 12) Fishball (I got phobia) Lotus root (nope) Rice (you freak)

Other than asking for your favourite Rojak stalls, do you know where to find Rojak which comes with special ingredients eg durian, soursop, etc etc?

Had been bored over the weekend, so tried to cook lala bee hoon. Did not really count the exact amount of ingredients so based on agar-ation. But I am missing a taste which i cannot put a finger at.. Things I dumped in, chopped garlic shredded ginger spring onion chicken stock throw in lala to brew add pepper, hua tiao jiu, sesame oil after it boiled I throw in bee hoon. but there is something missing in there. The beehoon doesnt seems to be silky or rather oily and there is a missing taste.. I cant sleep sia !!! PS any one got recipe for white beehoon?

pix says a thousand words......obviously i did not eat
