When it comes to culinary adventures, our journey through Tampines was nothing short of a gastronomic delight. One of the highlights of our visit was the charming stall, Jofa Meepok, where their signature minced meat noodles left a lasting impression with their unique combination of ingredients that set our taste buds tingling.
Albeit not as intense in flavour, JOFA Mee Pok’s style of bak chor mee is a very pleasant change from the norm thanks to their good execution of ingredients. Tampines is a bit of a distance for me but I’m definitely heading to JOFA Mee Pok whenever I’m in the area!
Pricing wise and dishes, I think I still prefer Kraft Kitchen’s sister outlet Craze Kitchen, also available in Tampines. I particularly like Craze Kitchen’s flexible menu which allows you to choose the sauce, pasta type and meat for your pasta dish. More on that in my next post.

It is a no-fuss stop for Thai Food here. With dishes that taste authentic at a decent price (no service charge), it is a hidden gem mostly patronised by residents. While it may not be the priceiest, it is not the cheapest. Given the location, we expected it to be a tad less expensive.
All in all, I feel that Sticks ‘N’ Bowls gives you the novelty of eating lok lok and donburi in a coffee shop, at a fraction of the prices you pay in restaurants.
In conclusion, The Flourist is worth a try if you are in the area, especially for its interesting gelato flavours.
Ambience at Keng Eng Kee Seafood is casual and functional. The simple furnishings and warm lights are moderately acceptable, but the place is usually fully booked and bustling.
It is about time KEK Seafood opens another outlet in addition to Bukit Merah and I am just glad it happened in the east. The dishes I tried are all consistently good, and this remains one of the best Zichar restaurants in Singapore for me.
Keng Eng Kee Seafood is one of the best zi-char restaurants in Singapore. I am so happy that they are now in the East. Looks like I am going to be a regular there!
I told ya I'd be back. This time I went for something called kabsa above. I'm not entirely sure how it differs from their mandi plate, but nonetheless I cleared it all quickly, especially since the rice wasn't as mushy as last time, and that little chili pepper packed some heat.
Here's another eastside place that I've been meaning to try (300 Tampines Avenue 5 #01-01A). It's run by a gentleman from Saudi Arabia, and as the name suggests, specializes in mandi, which I nearly went for until I saw the maqlubah section and figured that I try that instead given that it came with eggplant and potatoes.
Jin Hock Seafood in Tampines sells a variety of unique zichar dishes, adding a twist to classic dishes. Must try the duo hor fun!
Service at Jin Hock Seafood Restaurant, regardless of outlet, still retains a friendly heartland vibe. Staff converse and take orders in Singlish, demonstrating decent product knowledge by recommending orders and describing dishes.
The dishes we tried at Jin Hock Seafood were tasty, with a creative twist, making it an interesting place to to bring friends and family to for a casual get-together.
Ambience at Three's A Crowd is cozy and modern.
From the mere fraction of their treats I got to taste during this visit, I’m certainly dropping by again to tick more off the list if I’m ever in the area.

Despite the limelight being shined on hawker culture in Singapore, it’s difficult to come across new hawker stores that are serving up local classics.
The Pistachio ice cream was extremely creamy and had a strong nut flavour which made every bite enjoyable. The Speculoos, on the other hand, was definitely on the sweeter side of things and it got a bit jelak after a few bites.
Always enjoy this great value lunch here & a very pleasant time with good freinds.
Tiramisu with kelhua was very good, quite like the tiramisu i make, this with good kelhua…
i have nothing but praises for these excellent student delivery, a very enjoyable lunch – company of old friends, food & ambience…
This small chain around the island sounded interesting enough, especially when their namesake plate featured a sambal from Lombok based on an "ancient recipe."
With their consistently good food and service, Arnold’s is set to make die-hard chicken lovers happy by opening outlets at both ends of Singapore.
Just a stone’s throw away from Tampines West MRT is 929 Desserts & Bites! The stall sells fusion Korean-Taiwanese Bingsu from $4.90.
This was an unexpectedly good find. The lor mee came with a crispy and fragrant fried yam roll and very flavourful and slightly herbal braising sauce, with quite a lot of depth.
