It is famed that it was by this very restaurant back in those days who invented the first version of the chili crab. Their original version is little less spicy and more sweet than those of Jumbo's or no signboard seafood. If you would want a taste of the past, one can give it a try, personally I prefer Melben's but I am not sure whether the quality of their crabs have dropped over the years.

According to online sources, "Inspired by the famous drink sold in Katong by a wandering hawker in the 1970s – agar-agar perfumed with citrus and rose water, cut into strands and stirred into a cool lime punch." Indeed it was a refreshing drink, it's a drink not found anywhere else (to my knowledge), however it's a little pricey at $8 for a drink...

Visited the stall at the coffee shop thrice to find it twice closed. Finally the uncle tell me it closes at 2.30pm. It is very similar to the one at hill street tai hwa! The small bits of fried flatfish are my favorite and at $4.50 after upsizing, are way more worth it than tai hwa! Overall it's pretty delicious!

Those tiny bits of minced pork is something I crave for every time I return to Singapore!

Found in a corner of the food republic in wizma atria, this bowl of noodles has everything you need. From juicy mushrooms to fresh dumplings. It is assured of good quality! Pretty much why I always eat at food republic in town!

After a long day of project meetings in town and practical test in school, I walked past the newly set up food republic in shaw lido, had a sudden craving for a bowl of Bak chor mee and there I saw a middle age Aunty and an uncle running this stall at 9.40pm!! Ordered their last bowl for the day and gosh it was so good. A pity though that I could have asked for more chili as it was really good! The ingredients were fresh and well cooked. At $5, I could say that this price is still pocket friendly for the likes of orchard road! After eating I just had to thank the Aunty for providing me such a great late dinner! The smile she had while cleaning the stall was priceless 😊

Another bowl of goodness found at marine terrace. At $4, this bowl of noodles had one of the tastiest fishballs I ever ate. Fresh and springy. It's once of those fishballs that my grandpa used to sell as a fishmonger. The meatballs were delicious, their small pork slices were well marinated as their stall also sells porridge! Overall, if not for their remote location, this is one bowl of noodles I don't mind eating everyday.

Decent chili. Having different noodles for once can be good at times. The fried dumpling wasn't very nice though. Soup was pretty good!

Sweet and savory. If you want a traditional taste of the legendary Bak chor mee and also at the same time not looking for something too spicy, this is the way to to go!

Can't rmb the exact location... But it's around this area and its really gooooood!

One of my favorite Bak chor mee in town. Ample ingredients and excellent chilli, extra noodles are FOC!

My second visit to sanpoutei and tried out the Tsukemen instead of their Maze soba! The ramen was delightfully spongy and the soup consisting of dried sardine and dried bonito was incredibly refreshing! Strongly recommend this if you are a Tsukemen fan! (Doesn't have much meat though) seaweed soup was also served to be poured into the rich soup after finishing the noodles!
