Welcome to Hougang.

($4.50) hmmm its sour taste for white peach jelly tbh. it just subjective taste tbh.

($8) come with hashbrown and black tea hmmm its a while not eating for big breakfast so the taste remained the same previously I have eaten it b4.

First time see this. The crust is supposed to be like croissant. I tried for fun since I much prefer the ordinary egg tart's pastry.

($4.20) I decided to try more ex on nine fresh so 3 in 1 for beancurd, grass jelly and ai-yu jelly. topping was black pearl, mini taro q and taro balls. at usual, beancurd will be filled water after a while. I felt that it's quite sinful to eat both mini taro q and taro balls at same time lol.

We really enjoyed Charen's fried garlic pork which was juicy, tender and nicely marinated. The perfect savoury snack on its own or over rice. We loved that they were topped with fried garlic bits that were strangely addictive.

My only complaint was that I nearly consumed a little rock in their pad thai on our 2nd visit there. I was rather disappointed with their lacklustre response when I raised it to them. I could have easily broken a tooth, biting on it. I accept that it might be accidental but surely they could have shown a little concern or acted on it in a visibly manner instead making me feel ignored.

This next western station (pun intended) opened in October 2022, and serves the most value for money, affordable rendition in this entire list.

We do spend quite a bit of time in the Hougang area but Charen Thai Kitchen is located in a part of Hougang which we do not usually go to except to visit our friendly dentist.

As usual, we had to have the pad thai. Charen's rendition is 'wetter' as you can see from its glistening look in the photo and on the sweet side. It is a good balance of sweet and savoury and we really enjoyed it.

($12.30) I didn't know that they released this burger since late Apr 24 lol bc probably I don't eat zinger (due to the spicy inside chicken). But the sauce was very sour to complement well with spicy.

I actually returned to this disappointing stall, as I had no choice. The omelette's still lame, but the fried rice was okay, though mainly soy sauce taste.

($2.75) I felt that vanilla mixed with cotton candy but then cotton candy was not strong taste. I just literally taste vanilla w chocolate hot fudge instead.

($11.70) I wanted to eat rendang chicken; 5 veg (cabbage, cucumbers, iceberg lettuce, onions, tomatoes); 4 sides (cream macaroni, chipotle potato, butter corn, edamame); nacho chips (add-on); 2 sauces (honey mustard and yuzu sesame) it's my first time that i feel bloated and full after eating rendang chicken.

($7.95) I wanted to try the cheesy pocket for a long time and similar taste to the cheese fries.
