Apart from the smoked duck and Hainanese chicken, you can also find char siu, siu yuk, roasted chicken, sesame chicken and lemon chicken here.
Shi Mei Hainanese Chicken Rice Style is indeed standing up from the rest with its bean sprouts and the sauce used. If you are looking for a style away from our conventional chicken rice meal that is ladled with soy and sesame sauce over the chicken meat, you might want to give this a try.
This was a very popular chicken rice stall near Gombak MRT Station – a local favourite. The roast chicken was quite tender and fragrant, while the white chicken was less tender and was devoid of skin (again!). The rice was more grainy and 粒粒分明, and had good chicken and garlicky fragrance, going well with the potent chilli. A very serviceable rendition for residents around the area.
After giving the mee pok a good tossing, I find the bowl a little dry. It tasted fine actually but I like my noodles saucy so, I scooped some soup in. Unfortunately, that compromised the flavors and I had to add in the soy sauce and chili padi.
名副其实的排队美食 – 20 minute queue early in the morning for common breakfast fare. The bee hoon was soft and moist; the fish fillet was hot and tasty, crispy outside, tender and sweet inside. I thought the chicken wing and luncheon meat were good but quite standard fare – sufficiently but not outstandingly crispy and tasty. Overall a good fresh plate, with moderate flavours.
The congee is flavorful enough on its own without further enhancements needed. I added some soy sauce which made it slightly salty.
One of the better places for Chinese food and non spicy grilled fish
Things could turn around if they fry the fried fish and pork balls in small batches to retain the freshness and texture.
Overall, the dry version of BCM at Ah Kow is something that you must try once. It is unfortunate that the overall standard has slightly decline over the years.
Their classic pasta menu is customizable and they have the very rare Cacio e Pepe which I want to try!
We left the place with no stomach room for desserts. With their impeccable services and chanting environment, it's hard not to be back again.

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.

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...
Only a handful of places in Singapore still sell Fuzhou oyster cakes. Poh Hwa is one of the best here. Price $2.50.
My favorite is the silverfish fritter. The tiny fishes are like little flavor bombs that release bursts of savoriness as you bite upon each one.
Overall, there are quite a few breakfast options in Ga-Hock. Having said that, Roasted Meat Noodles will not be my priority choice as I preferred other food there over this.
Popular Cze Char Place
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.
Wine Connection Bistro HillV2 has a bright contemporary look. We like the spaciousness of the restaurant.
Overall, the set lunch at Wine Connection was quite a substantial meal for $15. The pizza might be thin, but the slices do add up. In the end, there was more pizza than I could single-handedly consume.
A relatively good choice if you are looking for somewhere with less crowds during weekend, but we are unlikely to be back as hubby is really turned off by the chargeable spring water...Otherwise quite a good place to chill and relax and enjoy the food!

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!
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 rustic ambience makes it a charming spot to take a breather from the hustle and bustle of life. A big monsoon drain with the sound of flowing water (no foul smell!) and a huge Bodhi tree (with songs from the caged birds) completes the experience.
Very fresh tasting prata, hot off the pan, with a nice floury fragrance, some crispy areas and edges, and soft eggy parts. All this was set in a nice kampong like environment opposite Mindef.
Though busy, the service from the team remain friendly and it left me a comfortable impression. The place is layback and I do not mind revisiting it.
They are located at Chu Lin road which is around the Hillview Ave area. They are an Italian restaurant serving a variety of Italian dishes such as pasta, risotto, pizza, etc.
iO Italian Osteria is not that far away, but I'm happy to eat here again. Being such a cozy neighborhood place, the service was warm and fast.
The quality was decent, the service was fast, and the prices weren't as outrageous as they could've been.
I don’t have a doubt that vegetarian food can taste amazing and many restaurants can attest to that.
With the friendly service and variety of food, it is most likely I will be back again for other kinds of vegetarian selection.
The cafe is pretty decent and does not have exaggerating or fanciful decorations. I won't mind making a return any sooner.
This quaint cafe goes to show that cafe food doesn’t need to be pretentious nor pricey. If you’re looking for a simple cafe meal that isn’t gimmicky, Cuppafield is the place for you.
