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.
We returned to Tunglok Teahouse to try some Dim Sum and enjoy ourselves. It’s not Dim Sum without Har Gow, Siew Mai, Xiao Long Bao and Spinach Dumplings. All fresh and well done.
My son loves automated serving, like a robot or the conveyors at Sushiro, so we took him to Tung Lok Teahouse in Novena – he loved it. Crispy Roll with Prawn Chang Fun was nice and crispy and…
The price is very reasonable for what you get. It’s just $26.80++ per adult, and $16.80++ per child from Mondays to Thursdays, and $28.80++ per adult, and $18.80++ per child from Fridays to Sundays, as well as public holidays.
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.
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.

Our final dish was a less uniquely Teochew dish. The fried noodles with seafood ($22) was a simple but well executed dish with of seafood and vegetables.
Overall the food was below the standard of frangrant gardens where HC bought 9pax OPS dinner on 30.12.2016.
This is still one of the better choices for Lor Mee, my kind of comfort food.
A great alternative to the OAR stall where the waiting time is considerably shorter. Prices are slightly higher for this casual restaurant as compared to the hawker stall, with a pleasant air-conditioned dining environment which I am not complaining.
It’s almost no surprise given its Michelin plate accolade as well as storied history—it being run by a second-generation owner who started assisting in running the business since he was 13 years old.

surprisingly lamb rack was very good.
Shanghai Tan specializes in 生煎包 and 小笼包, two things I love.
So if you’re craving for the nostalgia and taste of charcoal steamboat, check out this stall at Whampoa Market.
There's always a queue and they do fish head steamboat at night which I've gathered is pretty popular.
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!
What should appeal to customers, other than the tasty soups and prompt service, is the contemporary design with a 270 degree full urban view (quick book the window seats).
This one was kinda like a cross between yesterday's waxiangji (especially with those potent green tengjiao peppercorns on the vine again) and their usual bridge crossing guoqiao mixian (or even their xiaoguo mixian), especially with not just the broth and noodles, but also those long cuts of garlic chives. Yep, it was potent yet light at the same time, which was exactly what I wanted tonight.

I'm liking these guys more and more; they separately also have an awesome red chili oil with a tasty roasted aroma; I wish I could buy a jar of it to bring home.
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.
Yeah, it was good, with delicately fried piping hot pieces of fish, quality noodles, and a broth that was savory enough for me to drink to the last drop.
This is certainly one of, if not the best, fish soup that I’ve tried.
Recommended by ieatishootipost. Greasy, soft and slippery char kway teow, full of garlic and wok hei. A bit old school – less sweet, and more savoury and a bit chao ta. Steady stream of customers immediately after it opened. Not bad, although I felt the taste was bit one dimensional. I probably missed the sweetness.
It might not be the best Fried Kway Teow but it definitely has got a certain standard.
Overall, Cafe De Hong Kong is here to bring your traditional Hong Kong cuisine. The food is delicious and comforting, but don't expect five-star restaurant standard. Definitely, a must try place if you are looking for Authentic Hong Kong Cuisine. Cheers!!
On the menu, there are several singular dishes perfect for lunch.
While I am not totally convinced with all the raves that they are getting, Cafe De Hong Kong is probably an option to consider for dinner if you are in the Balestier area.
Hi Leskmi Nasi Lemak, nasi lemak, sgfood, review
This is definitely one good nasi lemak that will put all other nasi lemak-inspired dishes to shame.
Hong Kong Street Chun Tat Kee is famed for its fish head beehoon. They not only just sell fish head beehoon but also other tze char dishes.
