The mee hoon kueh had that rustic hand‑torn chew, homely and satisfying. The broth was clear and light, lifted by the sweetness of vegetables. Mani chye added earthiness, the mushroom ball soaked up flavour, while the vegetarian fried fish gave crisp texture and the anchovies brought a salty crunch. With tofu and greens rounding it out, the bowl felt wholesome and balanced, generous in portion and complete in flavour 》$8.90
The fish here is big, crisp and golden with flaky meat inside that makes it the highlight of the plate. Served with fries, garlic bread and coleslaw, it’s filling and satisfying with that portion size 》$8.20
Light and garlicky pasta with a tender pork chop in black pepper sauce. Nothing over the top, just honest flavours at a price that makes it feel like real value-for-money comfort food 》$8.20
Chicken rendang turned out dry without gravy but drowning the rice in curry sauce made it shiok. Begedil was soft and comforting, fish cake added a nice bite and with sambal on the side it all came together into a hearty and satisfying plate.
With JUMBO Group having recently moving their corporate office into the building situated at 26 Tai Seng Street, it does seem that the group has also found new usage for the space that used to house the now-defunct Chef Avenue food court at the ground floor of the said building. JUMBOREE is JUMBO Group’s latest concept at 26 Tai Seng Street that attempts to bring the brand’s various F&B concepts (be it their very own, or those of which they have franchising rights in Singapore) all under one roof — concepts like Ng Ah Sio Bak Kut Teh, Tsui Wah and Jumbo 1987 operates as mini restaurants within the grounds, while a Hawker Exchange zone, as well as Drinks Lab and Self-Serve Alcohol can be found within the food hall element of the premises. A live band area can also be found where live music is performed, while a small space is also allocated to JUMBO Premium Quick Meal which allows patrons to pick up sauce packs, premixes, instant noodles and other merchandise as well.
Went for the Char Kway Teow from the Xing Zhou Fried Delights (Stall 8) from the Hawker Exchange zone — all orders from the stalls situated in the Hawker Exchange zone are to be made via the online POS system via scanning the QR code on the table; payment is also to be made online, while a single order number will be called for all orders made across every stall within the Hawker Exchange zone with alerts made via television screens and SMS notifications sent to the mobile phone once orders are ready for collection. The Char Kway Teow was everything we expected from a good plate of Char Kway Teow that one can find from the hawker centre; the yellow noodles and Kway Teow being wok-fried with sweet sauce that came with a consistently sweet, slightly savory and a bit of wok-hei that comes through with every spoonful. Scraps of egg and Chinese sausages help provided a good bite within the latter adding another dimension of sweetness to the dish, while beansprouts added an element of crunch — blood cockles used here were also pretty fresh. Price point of the dish is also quite wallet-friendly given the setting at $5.80 as well.
Crispy, well-seasoned fries served with a thick jalapeño cheese dip that packs a creamy kick. The spice is mild but noticeable, enough to keep things interesting without overwhelming. Simple, snacky and great for sharing 》$9
Thin crust, stretchy mozzarella and a mix of truffled mushrooms, giving it an earthy and savoury flavour. The arugula adds a fresh lift that keeps things balanced 》$24
Garlic, chili, furikake and seaweed tossed through spaghetti make for a light yet flavourful base. The tiger prawns were fresh with a nice crunch, giving the dish a satisfying bite 》$24
One of my favourite weekday lunch spots in Tai Seng. Affordable nasi padang with plenty of choices. Meats go for $1.50–$4 while veggies and sides are just $1–$2.
They’ve got rotating specials too. ayam penyet on Mon, Tue & Thu and nasi briyani on Wed & Fri. Since they only open on weekdays, it’s basically a reliable go‑to for a satisfying lunch around the area 》$5
Tried the regular bowl with sushi rice, salad base, shoyu salmon and mentai salmon, plus chuka wakame, corn, cranberries, tobiko and pickled daikon. Everything felt nicely balanced and not too heavy.
The roasted sesame dressing added a nutty, creamy finish that tied it all together. Portion is decent and flavours are clean.
Service was a little slow even on a weekday afternoon, so best to cater a bit more time if you’re heading over during lunch 》$18.90
Soft Japanese pearl rice paired with mock meat chunks in a rich, housemade rendang curry infused with toon leaf. It’s served with crispy mushroom “anchovies,” fresh cucumber and tomato, alongside a shot of fruit vinegar to brighten the palate. Despite being fully vegan, the flavours are authentic, hearty and genuinely satisfying 》$9.90
Always a queue during lunch but this is worth it. Broth’s fresh, naturally sweet and clean-tasting. Prawns were fresh, squid had bounce, fish slices soft and smooth. Comforting, light and quietly satisfying 》$7
