The noodles were slightly firm and bitey, and tossed in a really nice umami XO sauce full of dried shrimp flavour. The pork was substantial and tender enough, but still having some bite, braised lightly with good pork flavour.
Recommended by EatBook.sg. The orh nee or yam paste bao and curry chicken bao were very interesting. The orh nee was really rich, fragrant and smooth, and the curry chicken was savoury and spicy with serious chicken chunks inside providing good texture. Both baos boasted fluffy and soft skin. Really nice baos.
The Pandan Mochi Waffle was fragrant, chewy and quite delightful, paired with a nice creamy and equally fragrant Earl Grey gelato.
Was this plate of Fried Kway Teow worth every single calorie? Absolutely yes. I thoroughly enjoyed every single spoonful, and I can see myself coming back here for this. Definitely a spot worth checking out!
Recommended by many and not bad. A good standard bowl of bak chor mee, with well cooked and springy noodles and tasty savoury sauce, and fresh ingredients including sliced pork, liver, minced meat and mushrooms.
The mochi buns were fluffy outside, with sticky and chewy mochi inside, and sweet but subdued black sesame flavour. Nice.

For a $9 portion, the quantity of their Signature Tai Wah pork Noodle was simply too much for me. The bowl had covered the Mee Pok with Livers, Minced Meat, lean meat and sole fish.
The mee kia was not bad, cooked well and with good flavours from the pork and seasonings. The issue was the flat and chewy tee poh which had lost all its crispiness, and the dumplings that felt so heavy with the extremely thick and clumpy skin.
