Hidden Gems

Extremely fine and good food here. Definitely give brussel sprouts a try (even if you’re not a fan of vege). Prawn Mentaiko Pasta is also amazing.

The quality and flavour bursts you get out of Nesuto cakes are insane! My personal favourite was the Matcha cake (Le Omm, I believe is its name). Light, moist - layered with Matcha tea and red bean skin that gives it a light texture. You’ve to try it to understand what I mean. As the cakes are made with whipped cream and mousse, it’s best to have it in the cafe itself. I mean, why wouldn’t you? It’s a nice and cosy place, perfect for meetups and chats. Will definitely be back again 😊👍🏻

This Nasi Lemak Set by Sinpopo boasts a Chinese twist, making this Malay-Chinese fusion one to die for.

We ordered the Nasi Lemak Set for 2 ($28++).
Every single dish served in the Set had something unique about it, besides the Fried Pork Cutlet which was a little tough for our liking.

Here’s a quick review of each individual dish:

1. Ha Cheong Gai a.k.a Prawn Paste Fried Chicken Wings (2 pieces):
Crispy and tasty, like one you’d get from a famous Tze Char store!

2. Fried Pork Cutlet, chopped:
Tough with fats that had the texture of tendons. Decent, but nothing spectacular.

3. Chilli Fishcake:
This brings me back to my primary school days. The fishcake was springy and soft. I’m not sure if it’s handmade, but wouldn’t doubt that it is!

4. Rojak
A little bit on the wet side, but fragrant none the less. This could do with more “You Tiao” a.k.a. Dough fritters, as there was only about 3 pieces to share among the both of us.

5. Potato Wedges with Curry
Light and crispy, better than the ones you get at western restaurants!

6. Fried Otak
I loved loved loved this dish! Although it didn’t immediately occur to me that this potato chips-like dish was Otak, I was pleasantly surprised at this addictive twist of our local delight!

Overall, very satisfied with this meal and will definitely dine here whenever I’m craving for good Nasi Lemak!
