On a date with the dog and stopped by for a kopi at 190 Degrees. Spotted egg tarts fresh from the oven and was sorely tempted by the old skool snacks going for $2.7. Everytime I’m here I marvel at the chief staff’s multi tasking skills - she can do everything at the same time, even though they have staff now. Meanwhile a lady with her hair in curlers with a salon towel on shoulders walks in and nonchalantly orders 5 coffees. Gotta love this neighbourhood 🤣❤️
P.s it’s not specifically dog-friendly , doggo was leashed outside the salon next door and next to my outside table

Though I’m not in the area often, if I feel like steak I always consider this charming little place. High quality steaks at affordable price. On this visit though, the prices had gone slightly higher ( but still pretty good), but was a little disappointed that it had lost the char that I loved so much. This was the place that made me restart my burpple membership. Super duper worth it with the Burpple 1-for-1!
Here’s the classic chocolate & the banana caramel. I liked the flavor of the latter. It was a slightly denser cake, not really a fluffy sponge. Serving it cold really made it taste better!
This was indeed different from the taste of other ramen stalls. The chicken stock was a rich orange and had a strong taste, quite clearly of tomatoes. Came with a small dish of groundnuts. Didn’t quite know what to do with the lemon. These were sea prawns and though were slightly overcooked, had great umami roe (yums)! There was relatively less broth than other ramens. Interesting try indeed! Wine costs the same as canned beer, Pity they don’t have draught.
But not sure it was worth the queue. Possibly because it was the last bowl and all ingred Had run put. Maybe because they got the order wrong and added chilli which left my companion choking and unable to eat 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Uncle was so sweet, the lady in front was trying to decide if to add the last portion left to what she ordered, but uncle said to leave some for the person behind ( me, heh). That’s all they sell, these deep fried traditional carrot cakes but cut unusually in bite-sized sticks. I was a first-timer so silly me , asked if there was a sauce that went with it. Uncle says no sauce, that’s how he’s sold it for decades… need to be able to taste the carrot. It was yummy, served warm. I admire the dedication- selling this one snack for years 👍

Always a tasty plate of fried chicken. Consistently good through the years! I feel myself licking my lips every time she sprinkles the crispy bits 😜. Rice fragrant & not too oily. Today I realised they also sell fried chicken skin! Good value at $4.5 for halal fried chicken rice +$1 for fried chic skin!

Not an american burger, for sure. Definitely no fries 🤣. The burger surprised us…. Instead of buns, the huge beef patties came sandwiched in what looks like pita bread. And it was humongous! And delicious! Definitely order to share though
Hard to begrudge the cost when the pasta came in a large portion with large juicy sea-caught prawns , very tasty succulent squid and lotsa clams. Pretty yummy
It was the cantonese watery kind of porridge. Well-seasoned. Best thing is auntie is always so cheerful and accommodating. She will probably make you any combination you like. This was liver, century egg, egg
Nice indonesian beans, good service, large counter but sadly no seats! Liked that the coffee wasn’t too sweet, barista says they are applying for seating space which is great cos it’s a little awkard otherwise if you just wanna hang out long enough to enjoy a cuppa. Good size at 300 ml
You can help yourself to the fried lard! As well as spring onions, lettuce, vinegar and condiments! Don’t worry, I didn’t go all out, got self control one 🤣. The bak chor mee was ok, the coffee was, as usual , good.
