You are enjoying a roaring business only because of your customers' support so treat them right. I reiterate: I am not asking for five stars service at a coffee shop, all I am asking for is mutual respect.
I am not expecting five stars service at a coffee shop but I am sure nobody appreciates being yelled at for no apparent reason especially while paying for said service.
Besides the tom yum noodles, I do see myself coming back to have another bowl or even head to the outlet at Bukit Panjang!
The claypot rice was really smoky and flavourful, full of crisp burnt bits, and smelling of the charcoal fire. It came chock full with Chinese sausage, chicken and salted fish. The chicken was really nicely flavoured and tasted almost barbecued, sweet and savoury at the same time. The only drawback was that the rice was a bit dry. But this is a claypot rice that I will remember and crave for.
The perpetual, snaking queue outside Hougang Hainanese Curry Rice stall at Kovan Food Centre has long attracted my attention and while i saw it being featured on a TV programme; i knew it's time for me to check it out!
Definitely a meal best enjoyed with a group of friends or family. Fuss-free setup, fresh ingredients and quick service, plus the chance to spot some celebrities amongst the diners, 888 Mookata does it a notch better than its other competitors.
The sweet sauce is good with anything in the steamboat while the spicy one pairs well with all the grilled meats.
It is recommended that you make a reservation in advance. However, do note that reservations are not available during weekends and only on weekdays.
Two Cranes would not only be a spot that Kovan residents would appreciate, but also a good location for those who are looking for a cafe away from the hustle-and-bustle of town for dates and catch-up sessions with a small group of friends as well.
Two Cranes lets you smell your tea before you make a decision on which tea to drink. Their tea and coffee are all sourced from local companies.
they cater to residents living in the area with affordably priced cafe fare without any hidden GST or service charge.
The ingredients were solid – the pork liver was 粉嫩刚刚好, pork lard was very crisp and flavourful, stewed mushrooms were juicy and savoury, and pork balls, fish balls and minced pork were all fresh and tasty.
today really not so good & far cry from curry chicken noodles..not eating here again..
For me, I prefer Fa Ji Minced Meat Fishball Noodle because I like stronger flavours, and Fa Ji’s chilli sauce really won me over.
The thin and light noodles were slightly soft but still springy with bite. The soy sauce provided a solid savoury salty flavour – 很够味. The wantons were small but had silky smooth skin and were flavourful with a strong sole fish flavour.
Nice wanton mee (though not the same as the old school type I am looking for) and I am especially pleased with their wanton and soup.
Satisfaction, max!
Tachinomiya makes a comfortable hangout for those in the neighbourhood. They have affordable lunch sets and a variety of rice bowls if you want to have a full meal, but the mains we ordered weren’t impressive. Instead, we’d opt for finger food and sides to go along with our drinks.
To be honest, their sleek display of alcohol on glass shelves looks pretty impressive, doesn’t it? It was a pity that we did not manage to taste some of their alcohols as we made our trip down on an early afternoon.
I am looking forward to dining at the coffeeshop the next time round, just to have the piping hot noodles right away. If you love beef noodles, this stall is worth checking out for sure.
The appetizing elements of our meal enticed us to race through lunch, leaving us plenty of time to savour our post-meal coffee before our next appointment.
Overall, I loved the grilled meat at Buddy Hoagies for its taste and affordable price tag. There are a lot more dishes which I would love to try like their Rosti, pasta and baked rice. I would definitely visit their nearer outlet to try other dishes and hopefully, the other outlets can give me the same nostalgic atmosphere
After an additional side order of a Char-Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Salad ($4.00), the bill for each person came up to less than $10. I was so pleasantly surprised!
Overall, we were utterly satisfied with our meal here, and considering the price we paid for such a sizeable portion of ramen, we are certain that we will be back to try their other varieties.
Overall, considering its prices, the standard of food served was quite good.
It’s not surprising then that Zao Lek sees a strong crowd every evening. We strongly encourage making a reservation in advance, especially if you’re coming in a group larger than four people – we saw groups being turned away though it was still early in the evening.
Zao lek served the best Lok Lok in Singapore and even taste much nicer than in Malaysia! Sometime I find Malaysia Lok Lok. is quite unhygienic! I will definitely recommend it to my friends/family/colleagues. Will be back again for more of the goodness.
Yet none can beat Zaolek Lok Lok in terms of price and authenticity, especially when the ambience is considered. Located on the ground floor of the Paya Lebar Kovan Community Club, Zaolek doesn’t pretend to be a full-service restaurant: it is not air-conditioned; the joint is often filled with smoke; most surfaces in this eating place are almost certainly greasy.
Tam Chiak Kopitiam at Block 212 Hougang Street 21 pays homage to Singapore’s vibrant hawker culture and recognise Singaporean’s passion for local flavours.
It wasn't an enjoyable meal for our family although we do agree that pricing wise, it didn't burn a hole in our pocket.
So if you are in the area, go check out this plate of Hokkien mee which withstood the test of time.
Sushi Express knows this food lover’s weakness: cheap, no-nonsense food on a conveyor belt service that fulfils a simple childlike fascination.
Although some of the zi char dishes at Curry & Curry may be subpar, the curry fish head here will always be an all-star to me.
Food at Gong Yuan Ma La Tang is focused on Chinese cuisine, specifically the Sichuan / Szechuan mala hot pot in soup / broth version. Ingredients are generally fresh, though I note inconsistency across several visits.
I liked the handmade fishball studded with chilli and chives, but the fish flavour was very mild. The noodles felt like they did not have much flavour, and everything else tested average. Not bad, but not something I will come back and queue for.
I do like how Jin Ho pays attention to health as almost all the other dons are also served with edamame and cherry tomatoes to create a well-rounded meal.
The honesty was refreshing and it was reflected in the food. There was nothing fancy, just honest good food.
