Ordered seafood marinara ($8.80 for marinara sauce + $4 for mixed seafood) and carbonara ($12.80), both with tagliatelle. We felt that they were good except that the tagliatelle was clumped together (as can seen from the photo). We also preferred if the dishes had more sauce as they were kinda dry after stirring. Overall this place has much potential and we will be back! Prices are very low with no GST and SVC (about pastamania prices (!) and especially for handmade pasta) and I don't mind a no frills, self-collection system if it helps them to maintain their cheap prices.
Ordered 7 pieces of YTF and bee hoon ($4.80). As highlighted by other reviews, the must-order pieces are the meatball and mushroom. The chilli sauce was really good so I'd recommend ordering the dry version and spamming the chilli sauce. Cheap and delicious - one of the top 5 YTFs for sure. I'll definitely be back!
Decent meal, minced pork was tasty and amount of rice given was excessive. May eat again if I have a Thai food craving!
Wanted to eat at Nakhon Kitchen but decided to give this place a try. Both stalls were very popular with similar queue lengths. Pandan chicken ($6) was tasty and fragrant; Thai-style Kang Kong ($6) was fried with garlic and chilli padi and had a flavorful, light sauce (decided against ordering the usual sambal kang kong); Basil Minced Pork ($6) was tasty but too spicy with a chilli padi overload; Seafood Fried Rice ($6) was average and probably not worth a re-order. Overall an affordable and tasty meal with much variety. Would most likely be back!
Ordered pig trotters, taupok, fried fish cake and braised egg with a big bowl of kway ($5.80). Everything was quite tasty, especially the fried fish cake, which was quite special and usually not served at other kway chap stalls. Queue was quite long as usual, waited for about 15 mins at 1.30pm. Overall a good dish and I would come back if I have a kway chap craving. However, the kway chap at Old Airport Road still remains my favorite.
Shared two medium curry fish heads among 5 people (35 ringgit/$12 each). Curry was decent, although the fish head didn't have that much meat (as it was actually only half a fish head). Tau kee (the best part of the dish IMO) paired really well with the curry. We arrived early before 10am and were seated within 5 mins - this place would usually have at least a 20-30 min wait after 10+ am. Overall super affordable, so I would be back, but only if the queue is not more than 15 mins.
Ordered the prawn & clams white bee hoon for $6.90. This tasted surprisingly good considering it was by a food court stall - stock was sweet and the dish had wok hei. Ingredients were normal - 3 prawns, some small clams, white cabbage. Overall pretty decent, and may order again. However, the gold standard for white bee hoon for me is still the hidden gem at Ah Tou Seafood Bak Kut Teh in Geylang (will do a post on that someday).
Usually go to Lam's Noodle at Parkway Parade for bcm fix - $4.80 for a bowl + $1 for additional minced pork. This branch seems to give slightly less noodles than the PP branch, but the chilli/vinegar ratio was great and the noodle texture was springy and firm. Soup was good too. Lam's BCM is definitely in my top 5 BCM list!
Ordered normal duck rice ($2.80) with additional meat ($2), taupok ($0.60) and egg ($0.60). Had a 10% discount using kopitiam card. Average, felt that they put too much gravy. The portion of the duck was not great even despite the additional order of meat. Prefer the standalone Yu Kee stall at Joo Chiat which has super tasty braised pork.
First time visiting this place even though I live relatively nearby. Soup was extremely tasty with umami (sorta a hybrid between a pork broth and a sweet seafood stock) - this is the first bowl of fish/seafood I've had that has the cloudiness of a BCM soup. Ingredients wise - meat chunks were fragrant, 2 prawns (one big and fresh, the other smaller and less fresh), and small fish slices (which I didn't really like as their textures were too soft). Chilli sauce was tasty and tangy too. Would come back when I have a soup craving!
Saw the crowded coffee shop, tilted and decided to order wanton mee with extra noodles and ingredients ($7). Got my noodles after 30 mins! Highlight of the bowl was the char siew which was charred but not too sweet. Noodles were decent, chilli was decent, although I felt that the meat in the wantons were slightly too fatty. Overall an above average bowl, although I'm not sure if I'll be back since Geylang is chock full of dining gems. Fei fei at joo chiat still remains my to-go place for wanton mee!
Ordered XLB (10 for $6) and 红油抄手/red oil chilli vinegar wantons (10 for $4.50). XLBs are decent and affordable, although I still prefer paradise dynasty's. The 红油抄手 is amazing though - savory and slightly spicy. Just ate at the Alexandra Food Centre's Shang Hai La Mian XLB a couple of days ago and that paled in comparison to this. This was the first place that I tried 红油抄手 - guess the bar has already been set extremely high.
