From My Cosy Corner
Satisfied both craving for mee siam and popiah in the same time.
Shiok ah!

TLDR: Plain… and unexciting.

Chocolate Fudge Cupcake ($4.50) and Chocolate Walnut Brownie ($8.50) were recommended by the staff.

Althrough soft in texture, the plain Jane-ness was unexciting.

Nice To 🥩 You!

It's been a hot minute since I have been back at Fat Belly and their steak is just as good as I remembered!

For starters, look no further than their Raclette Cheese ($18) with Toasted Sourdough ($6) served with a side of salted butter. Such an indulgent number! The gooey melted cheese was so shiok and comforting with the saltish crisp bacon bits studded in the mix. The slices of sourdough were crusty and fragrant too, the perfect thing to mop up all that rich goodness.

Moving to the star of the show, the steaks arrive with a robust crust from the open flame and together with salt, garlic confit and mustard sauce - each cut was grilled to pink perfection with that deep, smokey char. The Australian Full Blood Wagyu MS 8/9 Denver ($65) was bolder in flavour and rather beefy. The Denver cut with the more rectangular, block-like shape had a more uniform marbling which I personally prefer. It was simply rich and juicy. With the more tapered and triangular shape, the American Wagyu MS 6/7 Picanha ($55) had higher marbling and glossy fat rendering. Succulent with that yummy seared fat cap - providing that added layer of buttery decadence.

Don’t sleep on the sides because the Pomme Puree ($10) was super silky smooth. The velvety mash was executed wonderfully with plenty of butter and cream. The charred Fried Brussels Sprouts ($14) were so moreish as well! The sweet-savoury garum caramel with crunchy seeds gives that much-needed oomph.

All in all, ignoring the fact that Serene Centre is still undergoing renovations, it is a really nice spot for some solid steak.

Established since 1995, this famed stall is now run by 3rd-generation owner Syed Ibrahim.

This is a new addition to Sprouts Food Place. Nice noodle dishes

but would have been better if it was warm

Not forgetting the new Strawberry Matcha Cloud ($6) which I really enjoyed. Their rendition was the ideal thirst-quencher. I love that the strawberry element didn’t taste artificial and most importantly the delicious Uji Matcha Cold Foam had a very nice creamy consistency. The matcha flavour was also distinct and the concoction was smooth.

And while I am still on team sando, their Mentaiko Pasta ($22) was flavourful and not too cloying. Coated generously with a light mentaiko sauce, the slurpy spaghetti with the slightly torched surface was pleasantly balanced (not overly saltish) and well-executed. The added lemon vest, nori, sweet slices of Hokkaido Scallop Sashimi and briny bursts of tobiko were perfectly complementary to the creamy spicy cod roe sauce as well.

Here with my family for more of their signature sandwiches; Hello Arigato’s 'newer' outlet-exclusive Truffle & Eggs Sando ($18) was a classic sweet-savoury breakfast combo. Think fragrant truffled scrambled eggs, fluffy crispy maple hashbrown, umami homemade mushroom jam and wonderfully melted American cheddar packed between two slices of soft Japanese milk bread. Yummy!

I’m back to continue my tasting of places that has been featured on Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand, and this time to this stall at Adam Road Food Centre.

I ordered the small portion in order not to get too full for the night, which comes with one piece of pork rib and slices of prawn with veggie.

The dry version will separate the soup on one side bowl, I would say the taste is robust, but the sliced prawn wasn’t too justify to really enjoy it.

They have been sliced very thin that I hardly feel like I’m eating a prawn here. Which is a bit disappointed for me. The pork rib thankfully is tender enough.

Hot & sweaty. That’s how I feel the entire day. 🥵

Got a much-needed respite from this old school hawker stall — A mountain of finely shaved ice, drizzled with sweet gula melaka and rose syrup and an endless swirls of evaporated milk for a creamy taste. 😋
