Welcome to Tampines.

This pudding dessert features grated carrot cooked with ghee / clarified butter, cream, white sugar, powdered cardamom, and garnished with black raisins and pine nuts.
.
The result is a crumbly chewy juicy texture, with bright vegetal earthy fruity sweet flavour. I like that it is not overly sweet nor intense on the palate, yum.

Breakfast from the same spot where I had lontong last time. Tried their Mee Soto this round. Bowl came packed with mee kuning, shredded chicken, hard-boiled egg, beansprouts, shallot, parsley, and sambal in hearty chicken soup.

Yellow noodles didn’t have that strong alkaline taste, which is good. Soup was savoury and comforting, and the chicken soaked up the flavour nicely. Sambal gave the morning spicy kick I needed to wake up well. Slurp! A good budget meal to have.

Breakfast was never the same again ever since this stall opened weeks ago. I had a bowl of Lontong made fresh on the spot by the makcik. For just $4.50, it came loaded with ingredients: carrot, cabbage, hard-boiled egg, rice cake, serundeng, long bean, tau pok, and sambal.

Don’t let that pale-looking curry fool you, the spiciness is real. It made me sweat my head off and cry a tear. Despite the heat, it was really good. Is this what they call suffering from deliciousness? Haha. The curry was quite watery, but the flavour was thick and lemaky, smooth and comforting. The vegetables were stewed till soft and melted easily with each bite. That extra sambal was very spicy, and I think it had onions and ikan bilis in it, which helped elevate the whole dish.

It’s a real yum yum. Who needs a workout when breakfast makes you sweat this much?

(Medium - $6.60) need to stir well (bc of bottom will be bitter taste) and wait for tea mixed and ice melted a bit at least 10 mins. The taste was quite floral and sweet tbh for a while.

Tucked in a quiet corner of Tampines, Chan Lim serves up silky beancurd and fresh soya milk the old-school way.

Tau huay was smooth and delicate, no grainy bits, just clean and lightly fragrant soy flavour that slides down easy. The soya milk was light, fresh and not too sweet. Nothing fancy but it hits the spot when you want something simple and comforting.

Beancurd 》$1.90
Soya Milk 》$1.90 / Large Pack

Pork ribs were soft and comforting with a light black bean flavour. Har gow was passable but the skin was a little too thick, which threw off the bite. Prawn chee cheong fun had smooth rice rolls and decent texture but the sauce leaned more sweet than savoury.

Pork Ribs 》$2.20
Prawn Dumplings 》$2.40
Prawn Chee Cheong Fun 》$2.40

Texture’s on point! Very crispy with a light chew in the middle but it lacks that prata fragrance and comforting pull that makes prata shiok. Good for dipping but not something I’d crave solo 》$1.30 / Piece

Everything is steamed upon order, keeping the seafood fresh and naturally sweet. The steamed Seabass (head) with soy bean sauce offers a slightly richer profile, enhancing the firm texture of the fish while still letting its natural flavours shine.

The steamed Mangrove Jack (tail) in Cantonese style is equally delicate, with a light soy-based sauce that seeps into the tender flesh. A bed of Chinese cabbage underneath adds a gentle sweetness, rounding out the flavours beautifully.

Added fresh sea prawns to complete the meal with their juicy, succulent bite. Each set comes with a bowl of rice and silky steamed egg, making for a simple yet satisfying spread. The option of fish tail cost $1 more.

Seabass (Head) w Soy Bean Sauce 》$7.50
Mangrove Jack (Tail) in Cantonese Style 》$9.80
Sea Prawns 》$1.80

Only $10.90 for BBQ pork rib with potato wedges and sweet corn.
Not bad indeed.
