Another #supportlocal is their tom yum mussels ($24) it’s a MUST GET✨ using @ahhuakelong mussels they did a twist away from their curry signature with this tom yum with a touch of nyonya local touch - sweet sour spicy + slurpable😉‼️

My favorite is their flower crab sandwich ($23) with is packed with umami fresh flower crab 🦀 sandwiched by @singhonloongbakery thick toast 👍 an ode to oldie local brands (so apt for a joo chiat cafe 😍)

𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐛 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐡 (4⭐️; $23) - Crisp on the outside and pillowy soft toast packed full of flower crab with sweet mayo, tangy pickled-shallots, juicy umami pops of ikura, and refreshing herb salad.

𝐓𝐨𝐦 𝐲𝐮𝐦 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐬 (4⭐️; $24) - Delicious sharing plate of fresh, plump, and juicy @ahhuakelong mussels. The homemade Tom yum rempah hit all the right sweet, tangy, savory, and spicy notes. If nitpicking, did wish for the mussels to be better cleaned as several had the beard still attached.

𝐁𝐮𝐚𝐡 𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐤 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐨 (3.5⭐️; $18) - Distinct earthiness and deep buah keluak notes with well-rendered pork belly sandwiched in a crisp bao. Did find it to lean on the richer side and would have preferred for pairing of tangier achar (over the current nuttier rendition) for better balance.

𝐃𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐟𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 (4⭐️; $15) - Delectable sharing bites of moist and buttery financiers paired with creamy and umami chicken liver mousse. Personally found the zesty orange peel to be polarizing, adding a refreshing touch yet detracting from the richer stars.
