I don’t know why the waiter recommended the 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐤𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐝 ($𝟐𝟑) but it was awful. I would usually just finish the food even if it’s bad, but this was hard to get down. 🥴
They claim to have added a lime, ginger and sesame dressing, but there is no distinguishable flavour other than a stark bitterness and old taste of the daikon ‘noodles’. We asked them if the dish was supposed to taste like that and they offered us more dressing, which was just OIL?
Also for the salmon, while really crispy on the outside, it was pretty overcooked. This dish was... a hard pass.

I mean, for a restaurant that prides themselves on the rawness of their ingredients, I would expect the ingredients to be a lot fresher. We intended to get dessert too, but after that last dish, we were outta there.

The 𝐙𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐞 ($𝟐𝟎) doesn’t win any marks on looks, but it’s deceptively flavourful!It’s quite unlike anything I’ve tried before, thin slices of zucchini and tomato, layered with taco ‘meat’ (I have no idea what it was), creamy cashew mayo, macadamia cheese and pesto.
The portion looks small but it’s quite filling as the dish is very creamy! The different sauces had distinctive flavour profiles that melded well together. But I just wish that the tomato sauce was fresher

The whipped cream was sooo light, not too sweet, and definitely not jelak in the slightest! I’d never think buns could be refreshing, but that’s exactly what these were!

The 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗲 bun has a really interesting flavour! The layer of an rose custard gave a pleasant subtle rose fragrance, it indeed tastes like BANDUNG! I was surprised by how much I liked this, seeing that I’m not a fan of the bandung drink, but this was aromatic and refreshing!

The 𝗞𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 is what you’d expect from a kaya bun, but nicely complemented by the light whipped cream! It’s a little on the sweeter side to me, but still really tasty.

Of the three, the 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 is probably the most normal tasting one, as the custard layer isn’t very distinct, masked under all the whipped cream. Anyway, since I love the whipped cream, I still enjoyed this one!

Even without considering the delivery factor, the gravy of the 𝐋𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐞 🥢 was top notch! Unlike most other places where the gravy gets too watery after mixing, this gravy stayed perfectly gooey and sticky til the last drop 🤤
Also, they’re not kidding about the spiciness 🥵 My weak spice tolerance failed me, but I still kept finding myself reaching for more

$3 for small, $3.50 for large

Their 𝐋𝐚𝐤𝐬𝐚 🌶 came with a generous amount of ingredients! A good amount of cockles, tau pok and fish cake. However, while containing all the components of a good laksa, I think it could do with a richer gravy.

I can see why the 𝐌𝐞𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐚𝐦 🍜 is their signature dish! The thick gravy has a deep and rich flavour. I loved the pronounced nuttiness and the rich creamy flavour from the fresh coconut milk! Had a nice old school taste 🥰

𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐭 𝐋𝐚𝐯𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐞, that held a lemon curd lava. I hate lemon things but this was delish 👌. Also, I have no idea what the 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 is made of, but it had light floral and tea notes and tasted somewhat reminiscent of rose syrup? It was an interesting aromatic flavour, and I really liked it!

The cookie and lava flavours really complement each other so well!! It’s $8.50 for one, but it’s a little small to share honestly because it lasted maybe 3 mins 😳

The 𝐎𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐡 𝐎𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐡 𝐋𝐚𝐯𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐞 was SO YUMS 😩. The top of the cookie had a beautiful crisp edge that contrasted the soft, gooey interior and the 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞 𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦. The desiccated coconut and cornflakes were a nice touch of texture, with a gula melaka filling that melded everything together both flavour-wise and texturally.

These 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐬 ($𝟐𝟔+) just look pretty on the outside.The texture was the greatest downfall: a sticky, almost underbaked batter that was far too soft and mushy. ☹️

They came in 8 flavours, all of which were super heavy with an overriding sickly sweetness, and an unpleasantly pronounced buttery taste. If I had to pick a favourite, it would be the 𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆, as the tang of the berry did help to lighten the macaron, but it was still so dense.

It could also be because they were delivered at the end of the day or the humid weather, but I was really surprised by how these turned out... They’re really not great, and I wouldn’t get this. ☹️

The 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐨 𝐈𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐨 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐤𝐨𝐭𝐬𝐮 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧 ($15.90) was a simple dish executed brilliantly! The tonkotsu broth was no doubt the star of the dish for me. I usually find ramen broths to be too cloying or salty, but this was very smooth and palatable, and pleasantly rich.

However, pork wasn’t as tender as I hoped, but the flavour was good, slightly fatty and had a good balance of char and sweetness. Also, I picked the ‘firm’ noodles, but they tasted a bit floury 😕.

But seriously, the deep, deliciously flavourful broth really sets itself apart from other places.

The 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐚 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧 ($21.90) is exactly what it claims to be. If you like mala, you will LOVE this.
The mala spice immediately hits you at first sip, with the numbing effect kicking in after a few spoonfuls.
But what is really commendable about this dish is the freshness of the seafood. Nice and firm prawns, sizeable mussels, and delicious plump scallops 😋.

Their drinks really set them apart from other stalls, they’re unique and I would say, distinctively better. Their traditional drinks are done really well, especially their coffee. I picked up a 𝐊𝐨𝐩𝐢 ($𝟏.𝟓𝟎), opting for the Siew Dai (50% sugar), which i recommend since their original tends to be a little sweet. The coffee was rich and aromatic, with a deep flavour you don’t find in your usual hawker kopi! I haven’t tried many of their modern drinks but their 𝐘𝐮𝐚𝐧 𝐘𝐚𝐧𝐠 ($𝟏.𝟕𝟎) was delicious! The 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐢 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 𝐓𝐞𝐚 ($𝟐.𝟓𝟎) is very sweet, as with their other drinks, but you can pick your sugar level, and it was nonetheless what you’d expect from a good thai milk tea! Their portions, even for the regular size, are very generous!

On the other hand, I wouldn’t say that their food is something to shout about. The 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 𝐓𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 ($𝟓.𝟏𝟎 for the set) is a unique twist on the usual kaya toast, with a matcha spread. It was smooth and milky, with a rather subtle matcha flavour, and I think that the flavours were overall too subdued. It’s just not flavourful enough, a novelty item that I wouldn’t prefer over any kaya toast. Their 𝐊𝐚𝐲𝐚 𝐁𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 was alright, but my complaint is that the toasts were rather soft, lacking a crisp bite.
