Mazesoba is dry ramen. This one is topped with plenty of chives, seaweed, minced pork and an onsen egg! There was also soup on the side, which really reminded me of Bak Chor Mee haha. The instructions on the menu said to mix everything together really well, including the egg with the sauce, which is a dark salty soy. I enjoyed the noodles, which were bouncy and had a good bite. Flavour wise, this dish was on the salty side so I wouldn't have this too often.

This was everything I love in a dessert!! A warm chewy ball of mochi with a crisp, caramelised exterior juxtaposed against a (huge) swirl of creamy, cookie butter soft serve ice-cream. So good! The texture of the mochi was 😍! I also love the crunchy almonds (and brittle?) which were super fragrant. The portion was a little too big for me though so I'd recommend sharing it with a pal.

Tendon seems to be all the rage recently, and the queue at Kohaku was insane. I joined the queue at around 8pm but still had to wait for an hour 😭 At least the tendon I had was quite yummy! It's topped with a mountain of tempura (battered prawns, chicken, asparagus, mushroom and pumpkin) - what a great deal for $15! The sauce drizzled on the tempura is stickier and sweeter than the dipping sauce we usually see. If you can't get enough of fried food, you'll be very happy with this tendon! For me though, it got a little heavy after 3-4 pieces so I would have preferred to share this. I got myself some green tea which is free flow and that helped too.

Sumiya offers some really nice set lunches available till 2.30pm! I ordered the conger eel rice bowl set, which came with chawanmushi, miso soup, a salad, pickles and a really yummy matcha mochi! I loved all the sides! The eel on my rice bowl was also good. Look at that shine! I've had eel where the bones were still hard, but this one's been stewed till the bones were so soft I couldn't even detect them. πŸ‘πŸΌ Not to mention, the amount of eel just overwhelms my rice hahaha. I think this was quite a steal at $21.80++

The noodles here are super springy! This is a rather small plate of noodles, but it's generously topped with meat and vege and comes with a piping hot bowl of 3 wontons. It's also quite yummy but I'd recommend ordering something extra to fill up on. This coffee shop is really quaint and it seems like the drinks stall still toasts its bread (the old school brown kind!) using charcoal. Can't wait to try it!

Chicken fillet battered and deep fried, served with a sweet Thai Chili dip. I found the batter really tasty! I was also quite impressed by the huge pile of chicken. Though this was the only meat dish we had (except the fish in the Tom yam), it fed the 3 of us really well. πŸ˜‹ This would make a really good finger food too! And when we were there, drinks were going at 2 for the price of 1.

A classic done well ~ crunchy vege with the savoury pungent kick of belachan. This was one of my friends' fave dish!

Choose between 2 serving sizes - bowl or pot. We chose to get a pot cause you can never have too much Tom yam! Our soup came bubbling in a hotpot, filled really generously with thick slices of fish, tomatoes and mushrooms. It packed a good kick but wasn't overwhelming or choking, which made it a joy to slurp up~ the flavour and tang of all the spices was also quite robust.

Very pleased with the fluffiness of this omelette! And it wasn't at all greasy!

I can't believe I've never shared about prata in all my 3 years of Burppling! This one is my fave right now. I love how it's so crisp but also very fluffy and chewy on the inside. Best eaten on the spot so you'll be glad to know that ENAQ renovated their restaurant recently and it seems a lot airier. ENAQ's prata is served with a piquant sambal with ikan bilis (I love em) that adds such depth of flavour when eaten with the curry. The half eaten state of my food when photographed is testament to just how tasty it was. This was also after inhaling a huge plate of Nasi Goreng. No regrets~ $1 per a plain prata.

This was an amazing plate of Nasi Goreng, packed with LOADS of crisp, salty ikan bilis! I love how Nasi Goreng has random bits of vege thrown in and this one had chye sim, cabbage and carrot. It was super duper fragrant, the grains were nicely separated and it wasn't mushy or too dry. Best of all, this was not in the least bit oily. Only $4.50 for one generous serving of deliciousness. πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹

One of the best sticky date puddings I've eaten! The pudding was tender, moist and rich. It was served warm and went superbly with the vanilla bean ice-cream and walnuts. It also sat in a sticky pool of caramel sauce, which added flavour to the pudding and is great for people with a sweet tooth.
