Overall, my experience at the Thomson outlet wasn’t the best but it also wasn’t the worst. Most importantly, I can see how hard the staff is working especially the aunties who are pushing the carts or trying to sit the customers.
In recent months, I had an insatiable craving for dim sum and thought a buffet format, with unlimited indulgence would make me swear off the...
Those of you who are familiar with the old Peach Garden at Thomson Plaza would be impressed with their new facelift.
Chicken Rice Takeaway, Char Siew and Dumplings
The good thing is I liked it more than the way I described it last time, as the broth was actually delicate and savory, and the chicken was nice and moist.
Also recommended is the Beef Fried Rice ($5.00). It's greasy, but not soggy. The rice grains are likewise distinct and isolated from one another. Here you'll find beef, egg, and crunchy bean sprouts. The beef pieces are tender and cooked thoroughly.
seafood horn was very good…wokhae quite excellent, considering tapao…and a lot of ingredients..would be better even if eating at the stall…
That being said, based on personal experience, the quality here varies greatly.
The Signature Crispy Chao Ta Bee Hoon with Seafood was really nice, crispy and dry outside, moist and flavourful inside, with serious wok hei.
Crown Prince Kitchenette is tucked away in United Square and a tad difficult to find. The JB style Fried Bee Hoon, or Chao Ta Bee Hoon, is one of its signature dishes. It wasn’t bad, crispy and wit…
Overall, the dishes are quite well done but on the salty side which we gave feedback to the chef as well. After the rebranding and revamp of the menu, I’m not sure if the dishes taste different.
Maybe one day I should come back to try their stew and colcannon instead.
Duckland serves their roast duck with raspberry jam, sriracha, and mustard, but we very much preferred just having it with the gravy made from the duck drippings.
Duckland Restaurant is a neat and practical place.

surprisingly lamb rack was very good.
Shanghai Tan specializes in 生煎包 and 小笼包, two things I love.

Actually, what impressed me more was the ginger sauce. Why? It was basically sitting in sesame oil.
So even though the brown sauce on the chicken was a little sweet, I could cover it up with that fragrant ginger and sesame oil. Plus, the chili sauce was respectable, and the rice was firm and fluffy too. The ginger is the main selling point for me either way.
It is really good to see young hawkerpreneurs who are willing to take a traditional recipe, innovate and make it even better. This 25 year old’s chicken rice can easily rival some of the best ones which has been around for longer than he has!
Overall, we had an enjoyable dinner. The Good Trio has done a commendable job in offering a good variety of creative and interesting dishes at reasonable prices.
Xing Hua is starting to open a few branches in Singpapore and is know for their Fujian cuisine, in competition with the Putiens of the world.
This visit to Curry Times was as good as before, and I'm definitely coming back for more of their quick, casual, decently tasty and affordable meals.
From the outside, this shop at Velocity @ Novena Square (238 Thomson Road #02-26, 8942-5333) looked like a boring foodcourt-quality mala xiangguo shop with a malatang option.
Overall, I enjoyed the meatballs which were bouncy and moist on the inside.
All in all, we are happy to see them venturing out of the food centre and into a bigger brand than it used to be.
Crystal Jade GO is for you — not only are the prices affordable, but we really do enjoy how accessible Crystal Jade GO is whilst offering the same quality Chinese cuisine that the Crystal Jade branding is known for.
Overall, Dumplings Cafe is a decent place for a restful escape from the stresses of life.
While Guan Dynasty is not the spot that serves the best dim sum around for its price range (which is a little pricey), it is a certainly a spot that is worth trying at least once; a spot that we would not rule out on visiting when around Novena whilst craving for dim sum.
