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.
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.
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.
The addictive acidity and heat of the chilli had me wiping the plates clean, much to the disappointment of the onlooking birds.
The noodles were light, springy and wiry of the Crystal Jade variety, and tasted of the nice and woody mushroom sauce. The char siew was the usual variety but had some moisture and savoury flavour. Overall I think still quite nice, but with no queue now.
Taste wise, while the chicken claws taste pretty decent, it was a waste that the mushrooms were dry and not fragrant. Else, this would have been a very good dish.
Bloom Artisan is home to adventurous flavours of gelato which taste just as creamy as they look.
Ever since I restarted my jogging routine a few years ago, the above housing block had been a part of my usual running route. I noticed the ...
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!
The soft radish cubes are fried with their home-made chili (if you opt for spiciness) and chye poh over a large skillet pan before beaten egg was added. Held together by the layer of egg, its exterior was fried to a smokey crisp without being oily.
I am keen to try the fried carrot cake with prawns next time round, so I guess I need to be back again!
The carrot cake here refers to steamed cakes made from rice flour, water and daikon (white radish, which in Chinese, is also referred to as carrot), wok-fried with eggs, garlic, chye poh (preserved radish) and other seasonings to create a hot, savoury snack.
I had a hard time finishing the broth given how porky tasting it was. Nonetheless, it's really a steal for S$7.90 and should the ramen craving strike again, i would likely go with the chef recommended tonkotsu gyokai ramen which is a mix of fish and pork broth.
Suparakki Ramen is cheap and accessible.
Though the seating area may get a bit cramped, we definitely wouldn’t mind coming back for such affordable and delectable ramen bowls.
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.
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 😂
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.
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.
Nonetheless, in this neighbourhood, Heng Hua Restaurant still deserves a talk as their menu is rather extensive with a good list of Authentic Heng Hua dishes we can hardly find here.
The eatery gets pretty packed during the weekends and we highly recommend calling in for reservations. Nevertheless, service here is very efficient so you will never have to wait that long for a table.
Northpoint Mall can be a daunting place to be. So many places inside and you can get lost. But, managed to find Feng Food, a small casual Taiwanese place.
One reservation we do have is that we wish the prices would be a bit cheaper, especially considering that this isn’t a full-fledged restaurant.
