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.
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!
The mochi buns were fluffy outside, with sticky and chewy mochi inside, and sweet but subdued black sesame flavour. Nice.
Besides The Japanese Food Alley, there are other stalls you may want to patronize in the same coffeeshop:
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.
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.
Botak Jones has just opened their fourth outlet in Buona Vista! You’ll be spoiled for choice at this Certified Muslim Owned Establishment!
Ghim Moh Food Centre with some 50 stalls is popular with local residents and also with workers from office blocks nearby because it has many good food stalls.
I will be returning again to check out their Penang style prawn mee.
You should come have a taste for yourself and let me know what you think?
I thought this was a good cheeseburger this time round, moist and smoky, with the sourness of the pickles and the slightly tart sauce coming through. Satisfying.
Homegrown burger stall Hammee’s Burgers is back from their brief hiatus with new and improved tweaks to their yummy burgers! Read more.
Fried chicken had a nice crisp turmeric batter that sealed in the juices in the meat.
Checking out New Lucky Claypot Rice 新鸿运瓦煲饭which was listed in the Michelin guide. The chicken claypot rice was cooked to order, thus there was a long wait.
New Lucky Claypot Rice at Holland Village serves a mean claypot, but avoid the soups.
The dining frenzy passed quickly and everything quietened down around 8pm when the wave of customers finished their dinner.
243 Holland Avenue, Singapore 278977, open Mon to Sun 11am to 2:30pm, 5:30 to 9:30pm
日式炸猪排是这里的主打之一，黑豚炸猪排（Kurobuta Rosu Katsu, $17.50）厚片里脊肉，外层裹上日本面包屑，完美油炸，外层酥脆爽口，里层鲜美多汁，搭配清爽包菜丝去油解腻。
Their grilled fishes were quite nicely done and there's a kaisen chahan that was unexpectedly peppery. The latter wasn't a bad thing.
The Aburi Mala Charshu Kombu Noodles was recommended by Small Potatoes Make The Steak Look Bigger. The noodles tasted like normal thicker springy noodles, and the charshu was sweet and very lightly numbing spicy, with a bit of bite.
While spicy food like this is not often my ideal choice of food selection, it will be unlikely that I will be back again for it.
At last I have tried this. Nothing earth shattering, but good hearty spicy tofu with just a bit of bite, and qq, savoury and spicy dan dan noodles.
Margaret Drive Sin Kee Chicken Rice, one of the top chicken rice stalls from the Hawkers.
The rice was I thought the gold standard of chicken rice – moist, oily, flavourful and fragrant with chicken stock and oil, garlic, onions and lemongrass etc.
Sin Kee is a well-known name among chicken rice stalls in Singapore, mainly serving poached chicken rice Cantonese-style.
Min Jiang at Dempsey not only sees a new design concept, but diners can expect a whole new menu by Master Chef Goh Chee Kong, who has devoted more than half of his 32-year career to Min Jiang.
I like the contemporary and convention defying space here, and I am already looking forward to return for lunch soon.
Not only can one delights in well-loved signatures and specialities, such as the Legendary Wood-Fired Beijing Duck, the new items are also delicately prepared and suitable for all occasions.
Food at Tai Cheong Bakery is classic Hong Kong tea house cuisine, focusing on snack, desserts, and light bites.
Order this to try as we saw most of the table ordering it! Turn out it was good. I can taste the truffle in every bite and the cheese was well spreaded.
Overall, Tai Cheong Bakery definitely served the comfort food that the Hong Kongers have on daily basis. It is good, but don't expect extraordinary stuff. We'll definitely make a return visit, just not very keen on spending too much time lining up. Cheers!!
The time-limit was good to prevent us from over-ordering and over-eating.
Fans of the ramen place can rejoice because they have launched a Hearty Shrimp broth made from big prawns baked, hand ground till fine and simmered for more than eight hours with premium conpoy, clams and spices for more oomph.
Enjoying the food with a group of friends at Beauty In The Pot at The Star Vista is surely a good way to end the work week and especially for supper.
Not bad - those ribs were reasonably tender and easily slid off the bone.
We though well of the Morganfield’s Sumptuous Christmas Feast 2017 and will surely recommend the Crackling Pork/Crispy Golden Pork, Candide’s Bacon and Morgan’s Christmas Feast.
Morganfield Christmas menu has been a merry host to my taste buds and it should be one towards you too.
Tom’s City Zoom Mee Pok Tar in Ghim Moh market makes an interesting noodle dish. Fried Dumplings, Fish Cakes, Fishballs all in a delicous sauce. Yes, more for me please!
Ghim Moh folks' favourite, a nice re-interpretation of the old staple minced pork noodle by a young hawker.
The fishballs were very nice and clearly handmade, with good flavour, texture, bite and some uneveness. Moist inside and crunchy outside. The noodles with vinegar were well cooked and refreshing. Well worth the queue.
The homeliness of the cuisine was felt through the dish. Though the price may be considered pricey, their portion made justice to what we were paying for. It is hardly that we come across a good authentic Italian place like this. I don't mind looking into other items in the menu if I'm back here again.
The ribeye steak with red wine sauce turned out as well as the fish. Together with the cod, it was an enjoyable western food takeaway lunch. A change from the bentos and zi char food that we tend to gravitate towards.
The lasagne was good but nothing to rave about. The taste was authentic but we think it could have done better with more meat. We would definitely try the 1-for-1 La Nonna takeaway promotion again. It is a good deal if you are looking for unpretentious Italian fare at reasonable prices. Maybe next time round we would order the La Nonna pizza again but try another pasta.
