The curry seafood & roasted pork noodle ($6.50) came with two large prawns, a handful of clams, roasted pork, tau pok, tau geh and egg noodle. You can opt for thin bee hoon and thick bee hoon as well.
Chong Pang Hawker Centre had just completed its 6-week renovation and to be honest, I had been craving for Xu Zhong Xing pork satay , which ...
If you’re looking for XXL food, Bismi Briyani has really got it going.
I find the chicken cutlet extremely oily and jelak that I only managed to stomach one piece. It did not help that there is only half a wedge of lemon to cut through all the grease.
Ah Tan Wings Damned if Singapore ain’t becoming Fried Chicken Inc already, seeing as how palates have been “expropriated” over tim...
Petite in size, but big in flavour, Ah Tan Wings are dangerously addictive. Shrimp paste chicken that is surf and turf exemplified, uniting the best of the sea and the land in one crispy celebration.
The nasi lemak ayam cabe ijo ($5.90) is quite decently priced for the large chicken leg given. I am interested to give their signature dish, the nasi lemak ayam taliwang a try on my next visit!
Just the other day, I was watching a video of a stand-up comedy by a Malaysian and she brought up that the nasi lemak we have in Singapore i...
To my surprise, it wasn't as spicy nor as sweet as I had imagined it to be, making it kinda pleasant to eat.
The Signature Noodles had a strong Japanese soy sauce and miso flavour, with some sweetness. The egg and sauce made the noodles smooth, rich and satisfying. The meatballs were fresh and bouncy, and there was also fishballs and Japanese cha shu. Not a bad one.
The signature noodle is served with a sous vide egg and their signature braised pork roulade, on top of the usual minced meat, pig's liver, meat ball and fish ball found in a traditional bowl of bak chor mee (okay, maybe not the fish ball).
If you’re in the area and looking for a classic or interesting bowl of Bak Chor Mee, 51 Noodle House is the place to be!
One Mouth Noodle offers a small menu of four noodle dishes: Hong Kong-style wanton noodle ($4.50), char siew wanton noodle ($4.50), Hong Kong-style dumpling noodle ($4.50) and Hong Kong-style beef brisket noodle ($5.50).
The handmade noodles were incredibly good; al-dente and light without the alkaline taste that some of my friends dislike! I can't finish it in one mouth as i would like to take my time to slowly savour it!
For a wanton noodle stall that makes their own char siew and noodle, $4.50 is a fair price to pay and I am glad the young towkay is keeping traditions alive.
This fairly known laksa stall offered the mild curry type of laksa. The laksa was thick and flavourful, yet not overly rich. The gravy was balanced with just the right levels of heat and lemak, and was light enough that I slurped up all the gravy. The unique crab stick added a nice sweetness. Very nice.
There is always a long queue at the stall, so be prepared to queue up for more than 20 minutes if you want to savour the delicious bowl of laksa.
I finished the whole bowl of laksa to the last drop, though I forgot to take a photo of the empty bowl to prove it 😂
Fried chicken wing is one of my favorite ingredients to have in nasi lemak but sadly, the one I had is scrawny and the texture on the drier side. The only consolation is the crispy batter that goes crunch with every bite.
This has got to be the cheapest epok epok I have ever bought considering the size is quite a decent one.
Residents in Yishun should be familiar with Pak Mandor Nasi Lemak at Yishun Street 61. Not only is the nasi lemak popular in the neighbourhood, it is also delicious and value for money.
Formidable looking and juicy, but average and slightly bland tasting burger, with the flavours not coming through. This was apparently helmed by an ex-Marche chef.
With its superb classic western fare and innovative fusion creations, you will be coming back whenever you need to satisfy your Western food cravings.
I’d say Shaker Lakers is definitely worth a visit if you live in the North. I’d gladly order the linguine and chicken cutlet again.
Service here is not the friendliest, but I can see why they do have a steady stream of customers. The cozy and tranquil space makes it a great place to catchup, get some work done, or to simply just chill.
What attracted me to this cafe is that it is an open concept and you can have a waterfront view of Yishun pond park. Slow bakes cafe bakery is located at Tzu Chi Humanistic Youth Centre.
Also, with an additional $4 top-up, you can get their Breakfast Set, with your choice of toast, two soft boiled eggs, and a drink.
Recommended by various food bloggers, including Johor Kaki and ieatishootipost. The dim sum was quality, tasty and inventive, using fresh ingredients, and coming with the right textures depending on whether they were steamed or fried etc.
I’m keen to dine in at Chao Yue Xuan Dim Sum to give it another try if I’m in the north, even though there are some hits and misses for me this time round.
Chao Yue Xuan is the neighborhood’s pre-eminent dim sum palace, offering a bit of luxury at surprisingly low prices.
No more crazy queues for the Crystal Jade chef turned hawker. The wanton mee was really not bad. Crisp springy with a nice umami oyster sauce-like sauce. The wantons were succulent and filled solidly with prawns. The soup had a good 柴鱼 flavour. Nice – brought me back to Hong Kong.
Ex-Crystal Jade Chef opens stall in Yishun coffee shop selling Hong Kong Style Wanton Mee. Long queues expected. Read more.
With a few chef-recommended dishes to choose from, i narrowed down to BBQ Boneless Chicken Leg, with a top up to cheese fries, as it was the cheapest. I was thinking then that if the food is good; maybe i can consider ordering the more expensive ones in the future.
It was an enjoyable meal and I am interested to try the other dishes like their burger soon.
I have gone back to visit the stall around 4 times thus far. Can't wait to visit them again.
Very tasty, savoury and meaty soup, with tender, fresh and well marinated pork patty and slices, and bouncy pork balls.
Happy Lunar New Year! Like many Chinese families, we often have reunion dinners (eve of lunar new years) at home and it’s often steamboat (...
There were a few dishes that need more work, but there’s enough good dishes to bring us back again!
Having thoroughly enjoyed the three different curry-based dishes I had, I’ll definitely be back to satisfy my curry cravings in the future. Be sure to come early to beat the crowd!
I took away their Curry Chicken ($4.50), Curry Pork Rib ($5.00), and Vegetable Curry ($3.00) to have it for dinner at home. Those were nice but I think Curry Mutton tasted better.
A hidden gem located in Yishun, Ichidon Winkitchen serves affordable but mouth-watering Japanese rice bowls. Read more.
Recommended by 8 Days, and opened by an ex-Japanese chain restaurant chef. The teriyaki chicken was tender, smoky and well flavoured with crispy skin. The sweetness of the teriyaki sauce and the umami of the seaweed came through. Not a bad coffeeshop Japanese stall, with standard Japanese don bowls.
The cafe is also super cute with blue-themed with grey walls. The logo is a cute 🙆🏻♂️ holding a coconut shake. They serve coconut shakes, gelato, and waffles. All their gelato has coconut elements in it.
Whether it is coffee at Slow Bakes or tea at Jing Si, head here to find yourself in a spot where you can definitely slow down whilst looking out at the serene lake.
