Usual haunt for dinner that appears to be run by a Thai couple.
The hearty fried rice is paired with fried seafood. The first thing that hits you is the aroma that whets your appetite. The prawns are fried and is crispy enough to eat them with the head and shell. The head of the prawn is particularly flavourful. The prawns are also paired with fried squid. However, the slices of fish should be slightly less fried.
Great flavorful dish with discernible wok hei and decent portions. Only gripe is that the dish could pack a bit more heat, but that's a personal preference.
Will be back for more
Decided to try this place, didn't regret it.
The tofu was silky smooth; the sauce complemented the tofu but didn't overpower it. There was also a pretty decent portion of crabmeat as well.
Will visit again
This is a Thai food place that I frequent on a weekly basis; the stall appears to be run by a Thai couple.
The Pad Thai has the right balance of acidity and is paired with those fried prawns, all the whole being decently priced at $5.50 π
Definitely recommend to others to try !
Pork Chop Fried Rice - the egg fried rice was pretty good, with the individual grains of rice being coated with a light sheen of oil. However the pork chop was nothing to shout about.
Priced at $6.50, this is on a slightly steeper end of hawker fare. I would still recommend for those uninitiated to give it a try though, just manage your expectations and don't compare this to din tai fung.
Sirloin steak @ $29 which was absolutely worth it with the burpple one for one deal π there was a nice crisp smoky char on the surface while medium rare and juicy on the inside.
It's paired with a red wine sauce that's placed in a separate cup. Personally, I felt that the steak was better on its own; the beefy flavour was much more discernible without the sauce.
Would be back for more π
Back here for the third time!
Didn't regret ordering this - the truffle taste was distinct but not overpowering. The fries stayed crispy for the entire meal which lasted about an hour or so.
Priced at $15.
Third visit here and decided to try their rice bowls instead.
Boy, was I glad to do so. The meat slices were thick, juicy and tender. The vegetables added colours to the dish but did little else in terms of flavour. The rice portion was solid enough for someone with a larger than average appetite. This dish which was absolutely worth it and value for money.
Surprisingly, the soup that accompanied this dish was much tastier than the soup broth that came with the ramen which my partner ordered. π The owner may wish to seriously consider using the former for the ramen as well.
Be warned: the place may get a little crowded during dinner time on the weekedays. Due to the current safe distancing measures, one may need to wait a while before getting a seat at these timings.
What you see if what you get - eggs with runny yolks between a buttered croissant. Nothing to shout about, although the food is decent enough.
That coupled with the colonial house exterior and ambience of the place makes this place worth a visit for brunch.
Crispy curly fries with truffle mayo sauce. The taste of the truffle was definitely distinct, but not too over powering. Pretty decent fries in totality, but would have expected more fries for $14.
Food is decent enough. That coupled with colonial house exterior and ambience makes this place worth a visit for brunch.
This stall has been around for some time but I have never had the opportunity to try out their food.
The noodles has the right amount of firmness and springiness, and are topped with tender slices of beef.
But the real star of this dish would be the soup. Don't let the clear soup fool you, its flavour packs a punch. Moreover, the flavour profile of the soup is rather unique; it reminds me of the dishes that I had in China. You would be hard pressed to name another local place which serves beef noodles with a similar flavour profile. π
The truffle beef mushroom burger and wagyu burgers were slightly above your average burgers. While the beef patties were still juicy, somehow the burgers did not taste as flavourful as they smelled.
I would recommend the sweet potato fries though. A good combination of natural sweetness from the sweet potato and savouriness from the salted fried crisp exterior.
Kudos to the single staff who had to deal with the dinner crowd on 30Jan- she not only had to handle customers' seating arrangements, but also their orders and delivering food and drinks. The proprietor of this burger joint should seriously consider hiring more staff. Till then, for those who are interested, you would be better off making reservations.
You may also wish to check out their menu option for 2 pax. Depending on what are your burger and side choices, it may be more worth it than the burpple 25% discount.
