Gotten the braised duck meat for two, with peanuts and salted veg. The duck was tender and nicely braised but the portion felt too small, thinly sliced and not quite enough for sharing. The yam rice was fragrant, peanuts were usual and the salted veg balance things out. Flavours were good but the serving size left it less satisfying.

The pistachio paste came thick and velvety, made from premium California pistachios. I liked that it wasn’t overly sweet, any heavier and it would have turned cloying. The crushed kernels added crunch and warmth, balancing the nutty richness.
The taro double‑layer milk custard offered a gentle counterpoint. Fresh taro gave it a fragrant and grainy texture, while the creamy milk custard melted in the mouth. Together, the taro and custard layered earthiness with milky sweetness.
The two desserts contrasted beautifully with pistachio’s bold depth alongside taro’s soft creaminess. Both fresh, handmade and comforting.

We started off with the sashimi and sushi set and the 7‑piece sushi set, each served with a comforting bowl of dashi soup and a sweet daifuku mochi to round things off. From there, we added ikura chawanmushi that was silky and briny with bursts of roe, smoky unagi sushi, colourful bara inari and a spicy salmon mayo inari with a creamy kick. The uni ikura handroll stood out as a highlight. With ikura and uni together, it was pure umami in a single bite and since it’s the season for bafun uni, the creaminess made it even more memorable.
What impressed me most was the freshness of the fish and the generous thick cuts of sashimi, which gave every bite a clean flavour and satisfying weight. The sushi rice with its subtle tang from red vinegar, tied everything together beautifully.
Sitting at the counter watching the chefs prepare each piece added to the omakase feel and for the price, it felt like incredible value. It’s walk‑in only so queues are part of the experience but the food and atmosphere make it worth the wait.

This place has become a comforting late‑night spot for me since it’s nearby and always satisfying. This time I went for the dried chilli frog porridge, which carried an aromatic kick that warmed me right up. I paired it with the Muar otak‑otak and loved its soft yet firm texture with a smoky, spiced richness. Everything came together beautifully, leaving the meal both hearty and deeply comforting.

Built my bowl with soba noodles, edamame, sweet corn, roasted baby corn, roasted pumpkin, raisins, Japanese roasted sesame and mala prawn as the protein. The flavours were bold yet balanced, with savoury, smoky, nutty notes and just a touch of sweetness. The mala prawn really packed a punch, bringing a fiery kick that lifted the whole bowl. Textures kept it varied and hearty, from crunch to softness. Portion size was generous and for the price, it felt like a solid, value‑for‑money bowl 》$14.80 via GrabFood
The minced meat was savoury and the mushroom added a nice earthy depth, giving the bowl plenty of flavour. However, the noodles itself didn’t live up. It was sticky, clumped together and felt overcooked which made the whole dish harder to enjoy. Despite the good flavours, this bowl just didn’t deliver 》$4.50

It very tasty and delicious
The Signature Popping Juice Pan Fried Buns 爆汁生煎包 ($6.30 / 4 pieces) is so good. The pan fried skin is thin and crisp, while the juicy pork filling is fragrant, tasty and full of soup. Love this!
Had a peaceful lunch at One Prawn & Co. The food and ambience was awesome. Special mention to the "Smoky Kombu Prawn Toast" which had crispy and buttery texture and rich in prawn taste.
Cosy cafe and good food. Halibut burger was good, even the brioche bun used was fragrant and tasty. They were generous with the mentaiko sauce for the tater tots and the bread was healthy with a nice topping of sour cream.
