Chomp Chomp

Chomp Chomp has always been known to be the place for seafood, satay, large glasses of sugarcane juice to be enjoyed in an under-ventillated venue with inadequate number of seats. The sweating, standing around waiting for seats and getting choked up from smoke is all part of the "Chomp Chomp experience" and honestly, I wouldn't change a thing. 

We tried one of the many seafood stalls - Boon Tat Street BBQ food ( stall no. 8 ), ordered 2 plates of stingray, a plate of la la and kangkong.

Kang kong - S$6 for small 

Good plate of kangkong, not too spicy, kangkong was crunchy. 

La La - S$8 (small) 

The La La was a little too gooey for me but the sauce was nice. Too many empty shells in my opinion. 

Sambal Stingray - S$10 (small) 

This was rather disappointing. The meat was bland, perhaps it should have been grilled longer, i couldn't taste the tinge of saltiness that stingray usually has. 

The sambal looks like it was plastered on after it was grilled instead of while it was being grilled. I'm pretty sure that's not it but........it just doesn't look like it was grilled well enough. 

My standard of stingray is quite high so...maybe this just fails in comparison with all the better ones I've tried. 

Yummy Rainbow's milkcurd ( S$1.50 ) was pleasantly refreshing. It was sweeter than bean curd and smoother. There are quite a few stalls selling milk curd and I didn't try the rest but it should suffice to say this stall's milkcurd didn't disappoint

A number of my friends have been gushing over this place and its highlight - the durian mousse. 

I'm a huge durian fan, i come from 3 generations of durian lovers so how could I not have a go at a bowl? 

The setting makes you feel comfortable, simple with bold colours and soft light. The place is decorated with these boxes of displays which are just so exquisitely filled with the minute details. There are quite a number of seats around the house as well so no need to worry about having to wait. 

Mango Pomelo dessert - S$4.20

A friend of mine who doesn't like durians ordered her usual mango pomelo dessert. It tasted ordinary, in fact i think i prefer Ah Chew's mango pomelo. 

Durian Mousse - S$5 

THIS was amazing. Forget about the large chunk of durian, the mousse itself was creamy and the taste of durian was strong. It was basically just durian in a creamier form. This chilled bowl of heaven is perfect for any night! It was a bit too much for me to finish so it might be nice to share it with someone. All things taste better when shared (at least to me) 

I hope they make more money so they can open island wide outlets. Its a hassle going to serangoon gardens but i would gladly go again for the durian mousse is WORTHHHHHHHHHH IT.
