The takeaway chee cheong fun and yam cake were serviceable, light and hearty.
The noodles were gummy, chewy, firm if not a bit stodgy, coated in a plentiful, greasy and primarily savoury and slightly sweet sauce with fresh crispy pork lard on the side.

Very good full-bodied and spicy sweet savoury curry, made up of 4 different curries or sauces, forming a symphony of flavours, such that the flavours of everything else didn’t matter so much anymore.
When it comes to satay, my preferred meat is pork, followed by mutton. However, it’s hard to find good mutton satay; while the flavor is the...
