I love cows!

Beef Stew @ Kopitiam (Compass Point)

dining-178.jpgSeveral of my students in my PRSP, or Problem Solving and Programming, lecture group remarked in their feedback that I love cows. How’s that? Well, in many of my lecture groups, the examples I use often have to do with cows.:)

Truth to tell, I love beef. Back when I was in Perth, I’d often dish up steaks at least twice a week, given how cheap fresh beef cuts could be had at Aussie supermarkets. Over here it’s a different story though, with good cuts going for at least $30 a kg. As a result, since moving here to Rivervale last year, if memory serves, I’ve just done beef-related dishes just twice.

All that said, I was delighted to find a beef stew stall at Compass Point’s Kopitiam that whips up pretty good fare. For $4.50, with the usual 10% discount applying for members, the set in the picture comes with rice, tasty and almost herb-alish soup, and a generous plate of beef sitting on top of a healthy portion of vegetables. Ling found the beef very tender, and when dipped in chili was really yummy.

  • Food: 8 / 10
  • Value: 4 / 5
  • Overall: 4 / 5. There’s a variety of other beef-assorted fare in the stall, including beef briskets. Must try the next time.:)
