The buttermilk waffles had a nice, crisp exterior yet were still very fluffy inside. I liked that it just had a hint of earl grey flavour and that it wasn’t too overpowering. The tart strawberries balanced out the sweet vanilla ice cream, and everything went well together. Pretty worth it!
Never thought I would pay 15 bucks for prawn noodles, but Wah Kee makes it worth it! For 15 bucks, you get 3 huge tiger prawns; very fresh, juicy, succulent and most importantly already 90% peeled for you so little work involved. The prawn heads also have a lot of roe/zhup if you’re into that. The soup is very flavourful, very rich - couldn’t finish it. Noodles were great too! Cooked just right and very springy. Also plus points for the generous amount of lard and fried shallots sprinkled on top.
The sashimi here was super fresh, and the sushi rice perfectly cooked. It wasn’t too tart from the vinegar. The portions were just right, and a nice blend of sushi and other dishes. You will definitely leave here feeling satisfied!
Crispy pork belly in smoky chilli and Amarillo sauce. The pork barely holds its shape as you spear it with your fork because it is that tender. The best part has got to be the fats that just melt into your mouth. The sauce does add some tanginess, but really the star of the dish is (rightly) the pork. Definitely one of the dishes to order at Tono Cevicheria!
Yummy chwee kueh-like street food. Slightly sweet due to the coconut cream mixed into the centre, but savoury from the pork, shrimp and the actual batter itself. I think this would have been great if cooked fresh and served hot, but unfortunately the ones we ate were probably sitting outside for a while.
Chicken was well-marinated and not overly salty, while the batter was light, crispy, and not too oily. Super addictive and a must-have at every zi char meal!

These babies aren’t cheap but they are sure worth your dollar! Zesty, tangy, and sweet at the same time, these oysters really whet your appetite. Order to share and slurp a few of them down as a great way to start your meal!
Roast duck thigh, char siew, and roast pork with rice from Bedok Cooked Food (#01-32, Kovan Food Market). A bit indulgent but it’s Friday so who cares! There was a long queue for this during lunch time and I can see why - their duck was super tender and the skin slightly crisp with the right amount of fat. The char siew and roast pork were nothing special, although I would say their duck is worth the short wait!
Al dents linguine with a generous portion of fresh crab meat and bisque sauce. The sauce wasn’t too overpowering which was pleasantly surprisingly since bisques tend to be. It was also of the right consistency which, together with the crab meat, coated the pasta evenly. Highlight of the meal here at Limoncello!
It’s not often that you get to order angus beef when eating tze char. New Ubin offers it served alongside wedges and caramelised onions which is definitely something interesting to have when eating tze char. The beef has conveniently been cut into cubes for you - each piece is tender and juicy and pretty tasty. However, the price may get pretty steep especially if you’re ordering a large portion for a big group. This was good, but I would say they have nicer dishes on their menu!
