Creamed Corned Fish on Rice by Joe.

Love it! 8/10. :)

Honeydew Sago by Joe.

Made with homemade organic soya bean milk instead of coconut milk. A
tad bland but very healthy tasting. A good first attempt! :)

Tom Yum Mee Sua by Joe.

Love it. 8/10. :)

Lunch at Chili Mamak Kopitiam, 295 Racecource Rd Kensington

The teh-c peng (ice tea) was too sweet. Had to add a lot of water to
make it "drinkable".

nicer. I didn't like the frozen prawns they used. 6.5/10.

The mamak mee goreng was also mediocre. Nothing specia. 6.5/10.

Dinner at Broadmeadows Shopping Centre Food Court

The sushi and miso soup were acceptable, but the fried chicken ramen
was a disaster. The chicken were so salty, and the soup reeked of MSG.

Will not reorder the ramen.

A very good first attempt. Not exactly the way I would've liked it but
tasted really healthy! 7/10!

Lunch at Ying Thai, 110 Lygon St Carlton

Best green Thai chicken curry (2nd pic) I've had in a while. No
"chicken smell" and the meat was so soft. 9/10. :)
The other dish (1st pic) was tender beef filet with homemade sauce and
rice. Joe thinks it's about 7.5/10. Not bad but not great either.

*Update: unfortunately, the Thai green curry dish gave me severe food poisoning. :(

Joe's hearty homemade breakfast!

Mushroom omelette on a bed of virginian ham and multigrain toast topped with fresh basil.

Joe's organic homemade pizza inspired by Jamie Oliver's 30min meals' recipes.

Very healthy tasting albeit a tad bland. He forgot to add salt but I
liked it nonetheless. Overall, a great attempt. 7.5/10.

Love the Hainanese chicken rice here! 8/10.
