Finally visited SweeT.Rex to try the cheapest soufflé pancake in Singapore! It now costs $5 for 2 pieces (prices increased since 10 Apr 2021. It used to be $3 for 2 pieces)
Ordered the original soufflé pancake with additional vanilla ice cream ($1.50 per scoop). The queue wait on a PH lunch hour time was almost 30mins! You will be given a buzzer to wait for foe the food!
The soufflé pancakes were super light, fluffy and jiggly. Tastes good (as good as fluff stack’s standard - my second most affordable option for soufflé pancakes in Singapore). The soufflé pancakes itself was quite big/tall. If you had a very filling lunch (which was what we did), a plate is even good for sharing between 4 pax!

📍Depot Road Zhen Shan Mei Laksa
Alexandra village food centre (01-75)
Second time eating the depot road laksa! It is now longer presented in claypot style! (They have also covered up the claypot wording on their signboard haha). The queue wait on a PH lunch hour was really long. Almost 30mins wait as each bowl took quite long to be cooked.. peeked in to see how they cook the laksa and realised they actually have two diff broths served in one bowl. One a more diluted light soupy broth and topped up with a thicker laksa broth. The ingredients were cockles, Taupok, fish cake, prawns and shredded chicken! For someone who’s doesn’t eat taupok and cockles i am glad that there are so many other ingredients for me to eat still! Overall a nice bowl of laksa (although my parents tried it and didn’t like it). I thought the price was reasonable (small bowl for $4 and medium bowl for $5). If I compare it to 328 Katong laksa, I think that’s almost $5+ for a small bowl

📍Hor Fun Premium
Alexandea village food centre (01-78)
I rarely eat hor fun for lunch. But decided to try it as I saw quite a few media invited tasting review for this.
Thank goodness it didn't disappoint. The wok hei of this hor fan is strong! Silky smooth horfan with fresh sliced fish.
Not really a long queue on a public holiday lunch timing (as compared to the depot no longer claypot laksa's queue of more than 30mins).
📍Keong Saik Bakery
💚Matcha Cruffins!! ($5)💚
Have been waiting for this visit to Keong Saik bakery for the longest time! (Because it is quite out of the way from the places that I typically frequent).
This is my second time trying matcha cruffins (previous visit at another bakery). I must say both are on par standards! this matcha lava was even more flowy as I air fried to heat it up (145 degrees 3 mins) before consuming it the next day. Buttery flaky croissants that was crispy and fragrant with a very strong earthy matcha lava interior! Lava cruffins is one of the messiest croissant to eat but so satisfying at the same time! 🤩
Opted for takeaway as I was under the impression that there is strictly no dine in service on weekends (hence we had our meal elsewhere before this visit). But when we were there we saw some ppl dining in too 🤔
Bought the Klook voucher to get some discount ($9 for $10 worth)! (Lol but ended up spending more than the voucher amount bought and brain didnt react in time to buy another voucher immediately on the spot haha. Brain 老了. If you are new to Klook, feel free to use my code to get $5 off your purchase: AR2RU 🥳

📍Keong Saik Bakery
💜Taro Orh Nee Croissant Cube ($6)💜 too pretty to be eaten!
This concept of a croissant cube was so innovative and it intrigued me! Plus a taro orhnee croissant! 🥐 So unique and special! I like how there are many different layers of taste going on here. From the smooth orhnee paste (with coconut milk it seems) to the taro cubes on top of the croissant cube which is slightly harder.

📍Punggol Nasi Lemak Center
Even though I stay relatively near Punggol Nasi Lemak Centre, I can count with one hand how many times I have visited here. A total of less than 5 times 🤣😅 the reason being the nasi lemak is slightly pricey as compared to the hawker kind of nasi lemak. And also because put off by the long queue everytime
Visited on a Friday evening before 7pm the queue had already started but still a relatively short waiting time.
The best thing here is the nasi lemak rice and the sambal chilli. These two itself were so good you could just eat it on its own! 👍you know how for nasi lemak the make or break deciding factor is the rice and chilli, so this scored points for it!
As for the fried chicken wing, being gluttons we ordered 3 to share between the 2 of us. While the batter was crunchy crispy and well marinated, I can't say the same for the chicken meat itself. I thought it was too bland? Comparing it with oldchangkee or qiji chicken wing, I think I would have preferred the other two as their chicken wing meats got more 味道.

📍Holland Village XO Fish Head Bee Hoon Restaurant
Dined here once super long ago when I was a kid. But I still had fond memories of this place. This is how good the XO fish beehoon soup is! The XO soup was so fragrant! (Do note there is no soup refill allowed haha) I super love fish slice soup because no bones! So much easier to eat. Fish slices were fresh too!
For a 4 pax portion, the fish beehoon soup costs $20. We also got a plate of prawn roll (medium size, $16) to go along with the meal. But it was quite funny that they only had sweet spy sauce to go along with the ngor hiang and didn't have the sambal belachan kind of chilli or the other typical kind of sweet sauce you will expect for prawn roll ngor hiang
