It wasn’t the best Hokkien mee I’ve ever had, but was well-worth the price and quite yummy. I’d definitely be a regular if I lived close by.
Satays are skewed to perfection, accompanied by aromatic chunky peanut sauce.
I had never heard of this little chain of organic markets and cafes. But I randomly walked by one outlet today and the sign for their lei cha fan caught my eye. I'm really glad that I tried it too, given not just the quality of ingredients in there, but also they kept the broth nice and thick; so much that it was almost sauce-like, but also aromatic. I'd be happy to eat that again.
As an overall, I'm quite please with the quality of food served by them. Pricing is reasonable and food is decent in the neighbourhood.
While it’s not the best like its name, Bestin’ Serving The Best does serve up decent nosh if you’re looking for a very filling and rather affordable Western fare.
With so many food choices around in Bukit Batok Central, Ratchada Thai Food will be considered as one of the preferred food places to go to if you are looking for decent Thai Food.
Taste in overall was not too bad and price for all items from this stall is relatively reasonable in the neighborhood. For those who enjoy Chinese dishes as well as Mala Hot Pot, no harm giving it a try here.
Nice and delicately thin crusty crispy outside with the ikan bilis providing a good crunch, and warm, juicy and meaty with a good briny seafood flavour, with the minced meat, earthy greens, oyster and prawn inside.
When it comes to dining at hawker centres, customers are usually spoilt with choices and even for a greedy person like me; I am well aware o...
When it comes to oyster cake, you can’t blame me for being fixated on the Teochew Meat Puff (that now has a permanent location in Woodlands...
The place is pretty cool and industrial, a good meeting place.
The coffee was good as well, but not better than its hip cafe competition, which is getting quite tough these days in Singapore. Service was polite and helpful. It is certainly a nice cafe but in this case, the saying that “the thrill was in the hunt” may possibly apply.
Cool cafe. Smooth latte. Free parking.
I was near Bukit Batok today and decided to swing by that new Vietnamese stall (279 Bukit Batok East Ave 3).
The sweet and flavourful beefy soup was the clear Hanoi-style one, boiled from beef bones and spices like cloves, cardamom, star anise and cinnamon sticks. The pho was silky smooth, and came with fatty tender marbled beef slices, shank, tendon, qq beef ball and honeycomb tripe. Nice and comforting, especially on a rainy day such as this.
Chef Minh has put in a good effort to make these bowls of Vietnamese Pho affordable in the heartlands.
Nevertheless, once the no dining-in rules are relaxed, I am going to try it again to see how it compares.
Having enjoyed the modern twist on one of my favourite foods, I’ll be back to get my hands on their Hokkien Mee with Sambal-based toppings soon!
If you are in a mood for Hokkien Mee with a twist, you may want to pay a visit to Mian Wang 1971 and try out their different types of Hokkien Mee.
Beside selling the noodles, if you like their handmade fish cakes, you can also order separately as an additional topping to your meal.
The noodles were tasty and springy with a bit of the sweet ketchupy and lardy traditional flavour, somewhat reminiscent of a childhood flavour. The handmade fishballs were bouncy and had a nice fish flavour. Overall worth queueing for.
If you love fishball noodles, you must give this a go.

The wait for our dishes were more than 30 minutes on a Weekend. Despite that the coffee shop has no crowd, Erikos.sg has quite a number of food deliveries order in the queue. Was it worth the wait? Well, there is better western fare in the distreet.
It’s a shame that I live way too far away from Bukit Batok because Erikos.SG does serve up pretty good-quality Western nosh at affordable prices. Easties needn’t worry though, as they also have an outlet in Bedok!
A flavourful bowl of traditional Bak Chor Mee that comes with Vinegar and Chilli as the base sauce.
One of the nicest bak chor mee around, with springy noodles, strong meaty mushroomy flavour, qq fishcake, fresh pork, liver, braised mushrooms and other ingredients. 百吃不厌.
Macpherson Minced Meat Noodles 麦波申拿手肉脞面 In Bukit Batok
The chicken was really smooth, moist and tender. Amazing. The Chinese sausage was sweet and tasty as well, and I could smell and taste the salted fish throughout the fragrant rice with crispy bits. Not a bad claypot rice.
If you are not into their Signature Mee Sua, you can order their BCM with other noodles too.
Enjoy a traditional Teochew Cuisine Steamboat Fish from a Cloisonne.
The fish head steamboat was light at first but was flavorful gradually as the red snapper fish slices and vegetables were added.
Chye Kee Chwee Kueh at Circuit Road Food Centre was the last wholly artisanal water cake maker in Singapore (including milling their own rice flour from scratch).
In fact, with a little over half a century history behind it, Ghim Moh Chwee Kueh should be nominated for a heritage food award of sorts for keeping true to traditions.
One of the most nostalgic experience you can have with Chwee Kueh.
There are a few popular Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee in Bukit Batok. Which one will you go to?777 Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee offers the dish with Roasted Pork
If you are looking for traditionally fried Hokkien Prawn Mee with Roasted Pork, 777 will be your choice.
While the prawns were fresh, the roasted pork was a little disappointing as the skin wasn’t all that crispy and the meat was a tad dry.
Afterall, I would say that it still serves one of the traditional taste of what I know and expect from a plate of Hokkien Mee and as an overall, its taste fits my liking and they fare above average.
The mee siam sauce was really thick, creamy and piquant, and the bee hoon soft yet with bite. Not bad at all, from what looks like a western food stall.
Quantity at the price of $3.50 is value for money.
