Meesua rice noodles tastes more authentic, and it symbolises longevity (like long white beard)! Love everything here, as the youtiao (dough fritters) are fried till crispy, not cloying, goes very well with the peppery Pork Bone soup! Also not forgetting new-age dry Bak Kut Teh which you should try too! And Old Street has been very consistent in delivering its product, so kudos to them!
$29 for a double portion. The stew is sweet and really can taste the pork - somehow reminds me of very thick Bak Kut Teh. I would have preferred something nice to cleanse the palate, but the service here in this Westgate branch is a little too slow...
Saw this on Burpple Beyond and decided to come here, but only realise this is a social enterprise when we arrive! A decent meal, soft shell crab only, tasty garlicky ketchup as chili sauce. Please skip the vongole as it’s quite bland. Just that perhaps it’s all in the mind; a little more patience is required here ◡̈ and probably I shouldn’t have scheduled another appointment after this...
Lava’s made of creamy Thai milk tea, boba soft and chewy, plain vanilla ice-cream to go with. *Warning: it tastes very light, so eat this first before other cakes!*
$13.80. Cotton Candy Mousse, Vanilla Sponge Cake within. Its blubber is made of the mousse, which we find the sweetness just right, not too cloying!
$7 for Double Fish (fried + boiled), Fish Roe and extra bitter gourd! I usually dislike bitter gourd and it’s usually either bitter gourd omelette or this, fish soup, that makes better gourd more palatable! Soup is slightly salty, I wish they could cut down on the mirin and add more caramelised fried egg shreds. Overall still a very good dish and fresh fish roe adds brownie points!
Our favourite nasi lemak in Changi Village Hawker Centre; Set 4 costs $4.50 with one crispy fried chicken wing and otak-otak! Rice is definitely soft, fluffy and coconutty; and I like they added the batter crisps for the chicken wings! No wonder this is more popular than Mizzy Nasi Lemak!
$22. Below that thick layer of mozzarella cheese is... lots of seafood (clams, mussels, prawns, shrimps, squid), al dente teoppokki and instant ramen! So satisfying!
So we heard the chef was from Din Tai Fung (DTF) and he opened his own LāMiàn (ramen) shop selling DTF variety of food. I don’t recall zhajiang noodles having green peas, but this bowl of $4.30 noodles satisfies your every craving for cheaper DTF-style food!
If my memory serves me right, $4.50 for the noodles, and I added $3 worth of cartilage, thinking that it could be similar to Tsui Wah’s. Disappointed that it wasn’t (it was heavily braised meat); service was quite meh (just a neighbourhood shop), but man, the taste of the noodles was otherwise fantastic! Economical noodles done right (‘cept the imitation scallop). Hope service level improves (just slightly to make my day) to make this a 100% comfort food!
Part of the Lunch Set meal, at $14+ with complimentary salad and soup, the clams were al dente and succulent, fresh and cooked to the right texture! Tagliatelle was slightly over soaked in the boiling water but the plating and taste of spicy crab sauce saves it all! If you are looking for quality lunch at affordable price, go for Viio Gastropub!
Pump up your protein with this scrumptious plate. $13 only, get to choose 4 different types of sauces to go with. I love the tenderness of the chicken breast, cooked to perfection!
