Not bad, but not terribly memorable and a bit too heavy with the thicker skin all throughout.
Apart from their specialty fried Teochew kuehs, people also return for their classic black and white carrot cake, starting from $2.50.
Yong Xiang Carrot Cake is one of at least three fried carrot cake stalls at Bendemeer Food Centre.
I like their house made sambal chili sauce as it has a sharp hot sting and there was plenty of lard which gave the sauce a distinct lardy flavour and some sweetness.
In a nutshell, if you’re feeling nostalgic and want an old school bowl of prawn noodles, do check out No Name Prawn Mee!
When it comes to which prawn mee is the best in Singapore, I’m sure we’re all ready to “throw hands” at anyone who dares contend against our favourite. Nowadays, it’s not uncommon for a bowl of prawn mee to cost a hefty S$8 or more. The fault lies in the novelty of jumbo prawns — people don’t […]
The laksa gravy was light yet so flavourful with a strong coconut fragrance. Once you start slurping the noodles with the laksa gravy, you cannot stop. That is how good it was.
I ordered the $3.50 portion, it was served with a good portion of thick bee hoon together with fresh-tasting ingredients a piece of half-boiled egg, cockles, slices of fish cake and tau pok with a handful of beansprouts. The gravy was light with a hint of dried shrimps and coconut milk. This homely taste is quite enjoyable.
there could be another reason my laksa did not taste great
We tried the crispy roasted chicken ($26 for half). The skin of this chicken was amazingly crisp. It must have been subjected to really temperatures. The meat was slightly dry. If only it was more moist this would have been perfect.

I’m also in love with how flawless each one of them looked.
Lor Mee loaded with fried pork belly.
I will definitely be back to try the fried fish lor mee, but you have to try the deep fried pork belly lor mee first!!
All at an affordable, competitive price.
Indonesia Curry Rice states its prices clearly for every item. I appreciate this as a patron because I know how much I will be paying without the need to clarify.
Not the most delicious bowl of noodles but there’s something about its flavours that make it comforting.
Chef Petrina describes the braised duck here as very Teochew and very traditional. It’s a favourite of her mother’s and keeping things in the culinary family, Ah Xiao Teochew Braised Duck at Bendeemer happens to be run by one of her former Morsels chefs, so the connection is strong! Personal relationship aside though, this is braised duck with really high standards.
we will be back the next time.
Would love to be back soon! Maybe with one basket of otah and another basket of curry siew mai. And maybe more deep fried items. Plus, of course, the yummy lava buns!
I like what I had; consistency was smooth although flavor was on the bland side. What I enjoyed most was that there were plenty of ingredients inside, and the generous amount of century eggs definitely enhanced the flavor of the congee! Only thing I regretted, not adding an egg!

What a good meal we had indeed. I do not mind return to either of their restaurant for more delicious food!
The hotel was re-opened in 2012 with a re-design done by Tiah Nan Chyuan and his team from local design firm, FARM.
We are not a big fan of the decor and atmosphere of Enjoy Eating House and Bar @ Jalan Besar. However, the food we tried were enjoyable. The menu is fairly extensive and prices are reasonable.
If I do go back, I would just go for the Mushroom Bak Chor Mee which is supposedly their signature.
A stall that caught my eyes is Toa Payoh 93 Soon Kueh with their handmade traditional kueh.
The mutton meat and ribs were just slightly gamey, fragrant and seriously fall off the bone tender, but with that bit of nice chewiness. The ribs had that slight bit of fattiness for additional flavour and texture. Good stuff, just a bit gentler and probably less oily than the sup kambing I remember from Commonwealth Drive.

Michelle pledged to drive over with more makan kaki when she returns from her Scandinavian tour. Driving, feasting and feeding her wanderlust – the line between work and play is enviably fuzzy for her. I remarked to Michelle that her passions have truly taken her the delicious distance.
A decent plate of Malaysian-style Nasi Lemak to try in McNair Road within a modern looking coffeeshop. It is more expensive than what you get at hawker centres, but it makes up for its finer presentation and portion. You also get to try old school flavour laksa from Laksa Labo within the same coffeeshop.
The ayam berempah quite fragrant, tender inside and crispy outside, but the leg was slightly unmeaty and pink. The rice was lightly fragrant of coconut and pandan, fluffy and moist, and the sambal was really spicy and had a real kick. The eggs, ikan bilis and nuts was average. Overall above average, but I won’t crave it.
For someone who is not a Ban Mian eater, I am genuinely impressed by the delicious Ban Mian at Hui Wei Chilli Ban Mian. Head here for your Ban Mian craving, no regrets!
The Mee Hoon Kueh is, dare I say, one of my favourites in Singapore. I would recommend ordering their dry noodles, just so you can try their famous chilli.

The kueh lapis sagu had a very restrained and balanced sweetness, as well as a refined coconut milk fragrance. The lemper ayam was very nice, having a very wholesome savouriness with perfectly sticky and savoury glutinous rice and chicken. Takeaway only.
Great place to find some authentic Indonesian kuehs and dishes made with a lot of passion!
Makan House by Ollella is a good hangout with good espresso coffee and authentic Indonesian fare.
88 Hong Kong Roast Meat Specialist Lavender Street Review with pictures of menu with prices char siew, roast pork, roast duck, noodles ...
A mixed bag on the Char Siew, but the Siew Yoke is a must though!
Let’s just say 88 Hong Kong Roast Meat Specialist is worth trying without the horrendous queue and if you happen to be in the vicinity. Overall, I still prefer Roast Paradise for a similar comparison.
