If you’re looking for a little more variety, the same coffeeshop has a branch of the famous Dunman Char Siew Wanton Mee (QQ noodles & super-spicy chilli sauce!) and an awesome fried oyster omelet (see above). Tao Kee Fried Oyster is a couple of stalls down from Swee Guan Hokkien Mee and was a brilliant discovery by my family – we thoroughly enjoyed the version with a little starch added. It was extra crispy and not gluey or gloopy. So good, we ordered two $10 rounds of the addictive dish served with lots of fresh coriander and a tangy chilli sauce!
Perfectly runny eggs. Full marks for the ambience, although it is a relatively new and renovated coffeeshop. Packed on a weekend morning – omg.
Sik Wai Sin is a restaurant I considered legendary, as I heard of its big name when I transitioned from "eat to live" to "live to eat" yet never had a chance to try its signature Cantonese dishes as the queue was said to be bad with limited choices on the menu.
Still, I’m a little unsure on whether I would return for this pricey Hokkien mee but there’s no doubt that this is one of the better renditions that you can find in Singapore.
The crab was really fresh and sweet, and the white pepper was really interesting and refreshing. The JB San Lou Chao Ta Bee Hoon really took me back to JB, soft, flavourful and with wok hei. There’s a good reason for the Michelin recommendation and the crowd here.
The bak kut teh was all herbally, layered in flavours, and strong. Quite an authentic Klang style black bak kut teh. The pork ribs were tender and slightly fatty, and the tau kee and tau pok soaked up the broth very nicely. One of the best Malaysian-style bak kut teh here.
The wife and I had a nice breakfast date at Yong He. We heard the place had a nice reputation for Taiwanese breakfast items so we tried it out, not once, but twice! You Tiao – a staple. Fresh…
Thai food at ChaTraMue Flagship Store in Paya Lebar Quarter did not disappoint. It was good authentic Thai street food at affordable prices.
Banh Mi Thit in Geylang has gotten a good reputation for the best Banh Mi in town. I tried a variety of them to check it out. Let me start off by saying the bread is absolutely amazing.
