Happy V: Singapore's Version of Jollibee

I was really craving for Jollibee's chicken joy since last week. I miss how the crunchy chicken lingers in my mouth. I also miss the peculiar taste of the chicken joy iniquely for Jollibee only. So, when we were in Lucky Plaza a while ago, the place where we send money to our Manila savings account, we ate in Happy V!

Happy V is a restaurant here in Singapore that serves chicken, spaghetti, palabok and even burger steak just like Jollibee's. I believe it's a Filipino owned abd managed fast food here in Singapore.










Doms ordered chicken and palabok while I ordered checken and spaghetti. I love our merienda meal! It's the closest thing that we have here in Singapore that resembles and tastes like chicken joy.

I know 2 Happy V stores here in SG:
2nd floor Lucky Plaza
Lau Pa Sat

Our meal costs 16sgd. This includes 2 iced lemon tea in can.

My First Attemp of Cooking Carbonara

I was so happy when I saw a very simple recipe of Carbonara. I got all the ingredients listed and the procedure was very easy to follow.

Here it is:

250 grams of spaghetti
2 cups grated cheese. I used cheddar
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup full cream milk
1 pack of streaky bacon. fried until crispy
Dried Oregano
Salt
Pepper

1. cook the pasta spaghetti according to package instructions.
2. Drain noodles but do not wash.
3. In a separate sauce pan, heat full cream milk.
4. add grated cheddar cheese and beaten egg.
5. Stir constantly.
6. Once the sauce is thick and creamy, pour sauce in drained noodles and mix until the sauce covers the noodles.
7. Add fried bacon and mix well.
8. Top Carbonara with dried oregano leaves.


Best served with garlic bread.

I can say that relatively, my carbonara was quite successful. I was just bothered when the sauce became clumpy and the when the noodle started to absorb the sauce that left the past dry. Other than that, it tasted well.

Oh, don;t forget to season the sauce with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
