AV market...again!

Promised to blog about the avocado juice stall next to mr. avocado..so here i am. the whole row of avocado juice stalls that i was talking about? i'm quite convinced that they all taste the same.. if there's any diff, its quite slight.. but i prefer mr. avocado cuz of the avocado bits and the juice is more fine..less 'sandy' than the stall next door. only thing is that they dun have a smaller order size. $2 is really too much..oh well, at least it tastes really good. anw the lady at mr. avocado was staring at me cuz when melissa was ordering from her and she asked me if i wanted anything, i said no. then i went to the next stall to order. heh.. so i wanted to walk away quickly after getting my drink..and guess what? i forgot to pay.. talk about embarrassment. but the uncle was quite nice..he asked me "u havent eaten rite?" haha..too weak to think properly..
so for lunch i finally tried the chee cheong fun and porridge that i saw sometime ago. they have quite a few varieties - fresh prawn ($2.80/2 rolls), char siew, vegetable or turnip ($2.30/2 rolls) - with regards to the chee cheong fun. porridge comes in the usual variants - sliced fish, minced pork, century egg, etc. The cool thing is you can order the chee cheong fun and porridge together as a set. but the porridge here is standard, comes with some minced pork and century egg.
i ordered the char siew set, which cost only $3.
i would say its value for money, although i didnt finish the porridge, which was more or less what you can get at other stalls. The chee cheong fun is rather special, besides the char siew filling, they put lettuce as well. i would prefer it with more sauce (it's a light kinda sauce, not the dark one) though..perhaps you can ask for more on the side. the chilli is not hot at all, its more like the chee cheong fun sauce than chilli - good for those who dun take spicy food.
i wanna say that its good for a light lunch, but i'm so full from the avocado juice as well..so i didnt really have a light lunch. heh.. man the calories are packin in again =(
but anw..its worth a try if you're a dim sum kinda person.

note: going to Botak Jones on Thursday ;) must bring camera.
