Hot and fragrant, this dollop of grated carrot and condensed milk stands tall, garnished with crushed almonds and pistachios.
.
More chunky and juicy than most, the vegetal sweet milky spice flavours here are more pronounced, with a light nutty note.
.
Served with cold creamy vanilla ice cream to contrast, lending a lovely floral earthy sweet flavour.

We loved their rendition, which has excellent wok hei / breath of the wok.

The wide flat rice noodles has absorbed the soy sauce stock, completed with wispy egg, crisp bean sprouts, and tender moist beef slices. Bursts with smoky grainy savoury salty meaty eggy sweet vegetal flavour.

Our favourite dish here, this has a large claypot filled with a robust nam yu / fermented red tofu bean curd gravy, lending bold sweet savoury salty flavour.
.
The pieces of succulent tender juicy pork belly, chewy dried bean curd sheets, crisp carrot strips, crunchy black fungus / wood ear fungus, and fresh coriander, combine for meaty vegetal savoury salty sweet earthy grainy flavour.

Established since April 1997, Yen Sen Seafood is a humble heartland zi char stall in the far flung north of Singapore. With a captive audience and regular footfall, Yen Sen Seafood is well patronised, and their menu is extensive.
.
Loved the Hot Plate Venison (SGD $18), with the tender medium thick moist slices of venison tossed with spring onions and ginger. Combined, the flavours of smoky meaty savoury salty vegetal herbal spice are delicious and robust. Served sizzling on a hot plate, so satisfying.
.
An uncommon dish, the Fermented Bean Curd Celtuce / Fu Yu You Mai (SGD $9) has crunchy fresh celtuce / you mai, glazed with a light fu yu / fermented tofu bean curd gravy. This has light vegetal savoury sweet flavour, nice.
.
The Sambal Sweet Potato Leaves (SGD $8) are well stir-fried, the sambal belachan / fermented shrimp paste chili coating the soft tender sweet potato leaves. This has nice vegetal earthy spicy savoury salty flavour, yum.
.
The Cereal Prawns (SGD $13) were well executed, with the crisp juicy shell-on prawns peeling easily. The crunchy cereal oats coating lends an addictive grainy salty savoury spice note to the natural sweet savoury flavour of the prawns.
.
Disappointed by the Pipa Chicken (SGD $13), largely because the roast chicken was dry in texture, though it held meaty sweet savoury salty flavour. The gravy carries robust fermented shrimp paste, tasting similar to a rojak gravy.
