Wholesome Lemak Drumstick Set For those whom have been following us for quite a while, perhaps the mention or the name Husk Nasi Lemak might ring a few bells. A brand that had first started their operations within a hole-in-the-wall space at Bugis Cube, Husk Nasi Lemak is one of those establishments that had been overshadowed by the many other Nasi Lemak-centric dining establishments that have came after it. With that being said, these folks had subsequently opened another outlet in the basement of Changi Airport Terminal 3 at one point of time. Whilst being a name they had been around for be local F&B scene for quite a while, Husk Nasi Lemak is a name that had always operated somewhat as qn individually-run dining establishment; these folks had however recently opened yet another brand — Nikmat Nasi Lemak by Husk, which is situated within the Hawkers’ Street food court at Tampines 1. The food court replaces the previous outlet of Kopitiam in the mall, which is now neighbours with the iSTEAKS outlet there. The menu at Nikmat Nasi Lemak by Husk doesn’t seem to differ much from what Husk Nasi Lemak has to offer; their Nasi Lemak are primarily offered in sets where they would come with a type of meat / fish which the patron opts for — patrons can also order the meats / fish options ala-carte as an add-on as well. We recalled having the Wholesome Lemak Drumstick Set previously during our visit to Husk Nasi Lemak and it has left us being pretty impressed with them. Considering so, we found ourselves stuck to ordering the Wholesome Lemak Drumstick Set again during our visit to Nikmat Nasi Lemak since it was that comforting an item to have. Essentially a Nasi Lemak dish that comes with Ayam Masak Lemak Cili Api, the Wholesome Lemak Drumstick Set also comes with coconut-infused rice, fried crumbs, sunny side-up, anchovies and peanuts, as well as sambal chili on the side. The Wholesome Lemak Drumstick Set from Nikmat Nasi Lemak by Husk does feel like an improved version of what we have had previously at Husk Nasi Lemak when they had first opened their doors at Bugis Cube — digging into the rice, the Nasi Lemak itself was pretty well-executed; it carried a wafting fragrance of coconut milk that subtly lingers on the tastebud, itself also carrying a light note of ginger while the rice remains soft, light and fluffy. As though the rice is not easy to have on its own already, the crumbs on top of the rice provided a crispy texture that gave it a good contrast — almost similar to the crumbs that typically come with Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng Berempah, though this one definitely did not carry the notes of the spices that one would get with Ayam Goreng Berempah. Digging into the Lemak Drumstick itself, the drumstick comes with meat that separates from the bone easily; all that whilst the skin of the chicken having absorbed the flavours of the gravy that it is soaked in. The Lemak Cili Api was totally on-point; rich from the coconut milk, the gravy was also of a vibrant yellow hue from the use of turmeric in its cooking process. The gravy was also not shy of giving a spicy kick; the chili padi definitely giving that tickle to the tastebuds especially for those whom are tolerable to lower levels of spiciness. Other components like the sunny side-up weee also done well; the sunny side-up coming with fluffy whites and a runny egg yolk — also free from any undesirable stench of overused oil, while the anchovies provided a saltish note and a crisp texture. We personally felt that the sambal chili isn’t particularly needed in this setting since the other elements do seem to work well on their own, though it does provide a sweet note that would do well with the fried meat options like the chicken cutlet that they have to offer. With the prices of their Nasi Lemak Sets being priced between $5.90 and $9.90, we do find that there is a decent variety of dishes offered by Nikmat Nasi Lemak by Husk for days where one wishes to just to for something more simpler as a usual lunch / dinner affair, as well as more “luxe” offerings should one wishes to splurge a little and treat themselves to something better. Considering the quality of their Nasi Lemak offerings, the Nasi Lemak is definitely worth going for even for those whom are looking out for a good plate of Nasi Lemak around the island — definitely wishing to see more outlets of Nikmat Nasi Lemak by Husk being around, especially with more Hawkers’ Street locations in the pipeline to come in the near future!

Taiwan Braised Pork Rice with Small Chicken Chop We got to learn about the existence of Lim’s Fooditude whilst scrolling around the phone one day; Lim’s Fooditude is one of those stalls that one is unlikely to have heard about unless they are residing or working within the vicinity of where it is located. Situated within the coffeeshop within A'Posh BizHub, other notable F&B tenants that are located in the same coffeeshop in A'Posh BizHub would include the likes of IPOH CURRY MEE 怡保咖喱面 and the outlet of Hai Nan Zai 海南仔 there. Despite being one of the newer additions to the coffeeshop, Lim’s Fooditude does have quite a bit of history in the F&B scene; in fact, the brand has had it roots coming from Johor Bahru, Malaysia — these folks seemingly had become inactive on social media since 2022, but had previously operated a space along Jalan Setiah Indah in Taman Setiah Indian (reminds us of the same situation as Kinta Hainanese Chop & Rice at Balestier Food Centre). Whilst being an independently-operated establishment in Johor Bahru, the operations of Lim’s Fooditude with its move to Singapore has been reduced to that of a coffeeshop stall. Being an establishment that focuses on serving up Taiwanese cuisine, Lim’s Fooditude’s menu is spread across categories such as Rice, Ramen and Taiwanese Snack; interestingly, there is also an entirely different menu revolving around “Specialty Poke Bowls” — while the poke bowls here do not seem to involve the use of raw fish, these are basically rice bowls with a salad element that comes with meat choices such as that of Teriyaki Chicken, Fried Chicken / Pork and Taiwan Braised Pork. For those looking to try a variety of items in one single visit here, the rice and noodle dishes offered at Lim’s Fooditude would allow for one to do so at a manageable portion size — this is especially so for the rice / noodle items that comes with Small Chicken Chop / Pork Chop by the side. Considering so, we found ourselves going for the Taiwan Braised Pork Rice with Small Chicken Chop. Whilst the menu illustrates the item to have the Taiwan Braised Pork Rice being served in its own bowl separated from the Small Chicken Chop that is pictured to come on a separate wooden platter, we found that the items do come served up in the same bowl in reality — other elements that come with the Braised Pork Rice would also include half of a braised egg, braised vegetables and pickled vegetables as well. The Taiwan Braised Pork Rice comes with the braised pork being of a consistency that is almost integral with the braised sauce; the end result being somewhat of a meat sauce that is drenched above the rice. The flavours of the braised sauce was actually pretty savoury and sufficiently rich whilst at it; the meat coming with a good balance of lean and fatty parts where one can feel the fibres of the lean meat against the melt-in-the-mouth texture of fattier parts that both had absorbed much of the flavours of the braising liquid itself. We felt that there was sufficient braised meat sauce to go along with the portion of rice for flavour, though they do seem to be a little generous with the portion of rice here as well. The small chicken chop on the other hand does feel like one that comes with a rather thick deep-fried batter and at times did seem a little dry — thought thankfully, not particularly greasy. Whilst dusted with paprika powder, salt and pepper, we weren’t quite a fan of the slightly vinegary and tangy notes that inherently came with the chicken. The braised vegetables does give the dish an additional texture of a soft crunch, while the pickled vegetables were definitely more crunchy and came with a tangy note that cuts through all of the heaviness from the meats and rice. We did find it a little hilarious that the braised egg is missing of its yolk here, though is likely to have come with a fully-cooked egg yolk considering the circumstances. Another dish that we had tried during our visit to Lim’s Fooditude would be the Taiwan Scallion Ramen with Meat Ball (3 pieces); despite the menu having listed the availability of deep-fried or boiled meat balls for the dish, we were actually served the deep-fried meatballs by default — it also came with six (6) pieces of meatballs, though the meatballs are sized smaller than the usual Gong Wan that one would expect at Taiwanese establishments. Tossed with scallion oil and shallots, the Ramen does come with a good bite and was pretty flavourful being all savoury on its own; the fried meat balls felt more like a commercially-made product that had gone into the deep-fryer and came with a crisp exterior and a bouncy bite — the flavours being all savoury as well. We also had went for the Taiwan Scallion Egg Pancake with Chicken Floss; we had the impression of the scallion egg pancake being much like a commercially-made product with consistency almost similar to that of Roti Prata. Drizzled with mayonnaise and whqt seems to be Okonomiyaki sauce, it is savoury and creamy with a hint of umami notes coming from the chicken floss. Truth to be told, Lim’s Foodtitude’s offerings aren’t particularly impressive enough for one to make an out-of-the-way visit to check them out; that being said, they do seem to minimally answer to the cravings that one would develop when should one be itching for Taiwanese cuisine. With the most expensive dish being priced at $8.50, Lim’s Foodtitude’s offerings does come at a decent price range as a food stall in a coffeeshop. Considering its location and the variety of food that they are serving up, Lim’s Fooditude does end up being a rather interesting option to find at in the area around Yishun Industrial Park.

Honey Butter Wings These guys replaced Waker but might be the same folks. The chicken was fried skilfully. Such a powder is of course nice, but it's too sweet imo.

Mee Korat (Chicken) Got to hear about the new Nakhon Udon Thai Kitchen that had recently opened its doors at Tampines — these folks are pretty much a coffeeshop stall that is situated in the Happy Hawkers food court at Blk 602B Tampines Avenue 9 in the Tampines GreenRidges neighbourhood. If this address does sound familiar, this is because it is the same exact coffeeshop which The Only Burger is also situated at. Whilst being a relatively new brand that had just appeared in the local F&B scene, these folks are actually by the same people behind Nana Original Thai Food — Nana Original Thai Food having outlets in locations such as Aperia, Far East Plaza and Clementi; they also do run the Nana Thai Royale concept that is situated at Clarke Quay as well. Nakhon Udon Thai Kitchen should be a fairly obvious stall to find here — the stall is decked with a bright yellow signboard that is fairly attention grabbing. Being a Thai food stall that caters to both individual diners and those looking for communal options to share across the table, Nakhon Udon Thai Kitchen’s menu is split across sections dedicated to Mixed Thai Salad, Fried Delights, Soup, Curry, Mains, Vegetables, Rice, Noodles and Desserts. It probably could have been a case of us not paying attention much to the menus of other Thai establishments that we are visiting; that being said, it is the first time that we are coming across the dish that is named Mee Korat in Singapore. A quick Google search seemed to have suggested that the Mee Korat is a dish that is rather similar to the Pad Thai; that being said, the Mee Korat is a dish that comes without the tofu, peanuts and chili powder — the chili here for the Mee Korat is added into the noodles itself during the wok-frying process (yes; you can’t order Mee Korat non-spicy!). It is noted that Nakhon Udon Thai Kitchen serves up the Mee Korat with different meat / seafood options; one can either go for chicken, pork or seafood, which we opted for the chicken option. Flavour and texture wise, this dish doesn’t really differ too much from the Pad Thai; it still is sweet, tangy and savoury — whilst we had not have Nana Original Thai Food’s rendition of the Pad Thai to make a direct comparison on this, we did feel that all the flavours here in the Mee Korat does feel more intense than that of the Pad Thai we had tasted elsewhere. Coming with a bed of omelette strips over the top, the omelette helps to add a light and fluffy texture to the dish; compliments the heavier savouriness notes here and the spiciness that should tickle the tastebuds even for those whom are tolerable to moderate levels of spiciness. The raw beansprouts also helped to add a crunch factor, though other elements that are can be detected or observed here would include onions and garlic as well. During our visit, we had also gave their Thai Chendol a go; they were initially a little reluctant to serve it as they had ran out of ice on the day of our visit when we dropped during dinner service on the weekend. That being said, they had mentioned that the elements are still chilled and we went with ordering the item without ice anyway; this is considering how rare it is for one to come across the Thai Chendol in a coffeeshop stall setting. The coconut milk’s fragrance ran through the entire bowl; the Pandan jelly provided a hint of Pandan fragrance that goes hand-in-hand with the coconut milk — all that whilst the tapioca starch in various shapes and sizes providing for a chewiness to go along. The opening of Nakhon Udon Thai Kitchen is likely one that would excite those residing at Tampines; the opening of a new Thai establishment serving up decent Thai fare certainly adds on to the variety of dining options in the ‘hood; the fact that Nakhon Udon Thai Kitchen is a concept by the same folks behind Nana Original Thai Food would further steady those whom are familiar with the brand a further push to give it a go. Prices of the various dishes at Nakhon Udon Thai Kitchen are fairly reasonable with all dishes except the items listed in the Fish section of the menu being listed at $20 for the largest serving portions; a spot in which we would be happy to dine at if in the area.

Curry beef Highly recommend getting this dish, pretty generous with the portion and the flavour is very robust. the beef is very tender and the curry is not too spicy.

Review for toast omelette and broth Very savoury and authentic taste of Hong Kong delicates! The soup complements the omelette and toast perfectly adding a hint of warmth to the dining experience. Would go back and order it again definitely!

Value for money, authentic experience Came with a group of friends on a thursday night, almost felt like I was having dinner with my friends in Hong Kong after work, definitely gave off cha chaan teng vibes from the signage to the decor. Ordered the beef satay noodle set, not my favourite but beef was very tender. Mains are generally well-portioned and very value for money, would recommend getting the all-day set to get a taste of all they have to offer. My favourite was definitely the Peanut Butter French Toast ($5.80). Will come back for more!

Lovely Chendol and Orh Nee If you are looking for some solid Chendol or Orh Nee, I think the rendition at @hupkafoon really hits the spot. The Durian Chendol ($5.50) was incredibly rich, with aromatic sweetness coming from the Gula Melaka, and savouriness from the thick coconut milk. Because of this contrast, it is surprisingly not too sweet, but you still get a deep flavour from them! Loved the durian paste as well, as it was very aromatic too. Definitely one of the good variants. One interesting dessert to get is their Durian Infused Orh Nee ($5.50). With a powerful kick of intense durian flavour, the orh nee taste was rather subtle and instead gave a light earthy aftertaste. We actually liked this alot and would order this again! The Tang Yuan ($3) was quite standard. Felt like they cooked the dumplings a little too long. Nonetheless, I will come back here again for their Chendol and Orh Nee!

Almond with red bean This has become my latest favourite and crave because it has all my favourite ingredients- almond, red beans and orange peel! A Good kick!

Chendol Yes one of the best chendols in Sg, besides the one at Chinatown complex.

"ROYAL" Hamburg Steak ~Brown Butter Sauce~ If there is one establishment that seems to have soft launched to much hype around the island in recent times, one of such dining establishments would likely be that of Royal Host. A brand that hails from Japan, Royal Host’s very first location in Japan was opened in 1971 in Kurosaki, Kitakyushu, Fukuoka — the brand itself has expanded their operations to more than 200 locations in Japan ever since. Its first outpost in Singapore is located in Jewel Changi Airport; the establishment having taken over the former premises of the now-defunct Earle Swensen’s location there. There has been extensive works being made by Royal Host for the space; the space now features an interior that mainly features wooden furnishings and fitting all around the establishment — we did notice that most of the seats that are catered for groups of two (2) diners and bar counter seating are general located in an area that is level with the entrance of the shop; the round tables that caters to groups of four (4) are situated on a slightly raised platform after the area that sees the dine-in seatings for groups of two (2) pax. While the outlet in Singapore was opened some time around early July 2024, Royal Host is still in its soft launch phase with limited items on their menu being available until it goes into full launch from 19 July 2024 — this is to facilitate to smoothen operations in its initial phase of opening. The full menu at Royal Host that is slated to be launched from 19 July 2024 is being categorised into sections dedicated to its steak and Hamburg dishes, as well as Omelette Rice, Doria, Pasta, Salads, Starter, Appetisers, Grill & Others, Japanese Curry, French Toast, Sandwich, Parfaits & Sundae, Gelato and Dolce. Beverages available at Royal Host would include Espresso & Latte, as well as a selection of teas. Having seen a number of social media posts about Royal Host, it was needless to say that the item that caught quite a bit of our attention would have been the "ROYAL" Hamburg Steak — especially so considering how it gets served on the sizzling hotplate here . The "ROYAL" Hamburg Steak at Royal Host comes in three (3) different variants of sauces — this would include options such as the ~Brown Butter Sauce~, ~Black Pepper Sauce~ and the ~WA-FU Butter Sauce~; our choice was for the ~Brown Butter Sauce~. A signature at Royal Host, the menu describes the "ROYAL" Hamburg Steak ~Brown Butter Sauce~ to be an item that comes with 100% beef — the brown butter sauce being comprised of fresh cream, butter, white wine and black pepper into demiglace sauce. Other elements not mentioned that is being included in the "ROYAL" Hamburg Steak ~Brown Butter Sauce~ would include stalks of broccolini, as well as chunks of potato. Patrons do get asked by the service crew if they would like assistance for part of the sauce to be drizzled by them, or if patrons would like to do it entirely by themselves. We went with the option of having the staff to do it, and they were pretty liberal with the amount of sauce drizzled — this allows patrons to further add on the sauce for more flavour if they wish to do so. Digging right into the Hamburg steak, we liked how the Hamburg steak comes nicely charred on the exterior for that slightly crusted texture around the surface. As one goes into the dish with the fork and knife, the Hamburg is pretty easy to slice through; the meat being not too crumbly or fatty whilst being tender and juicy — almost melt-in-the-mouth and also sufficient brined for flavour. The brown butter sauce also went immensely well with the Hamburg steak as well — the flavours of the stock used in the demiglace sauce does make the brown butter sauce immensely savoury, though other elements such as the black pepper didn’t feel particularly strong. That being said, its buttery and savoury notes does bring loads more flavour to the Hamburg steak — and especially so when the sauce reduces whilst it sizzles on the hotplate. The other elements accompanying the dish were a good-to-have, though special mention does go out to the potatoes that seems to be roasted potatoes that have been lightly-fried to carry a slightly crusted exterior — the potatoes also carrying a bit of a sweetness of its own. Another one of Royal Host’s signature dishes that we have had was their COSMO Doria — a dish that Royal Host describes to be baked rice dish that comes with elements such as special butter rice covered with shrimp, chicken, chestnuts and cheese. The buttered rice definitely carried a softer texture than usual grains, but we especially loved the creaminess in the rice that also adds on to the flavour of the dish as it did to provide a good level of moisture to the rice that makes it so easy to have. The shrimp does come with a good bite and a hint of natural sweetness, though we did feel that the chunks of chicken could be a little more tender and less dry considering how the texture was a little off from that of the other elements. The layer of melted cheese was gooey and oozy; adds a hint of savouriness to the dish that gave it a bit of a contrast from the creaminess going on. Meanwhile, the Omurice ~Snow Crab & Chilli Sauce~ is a dish that sees the fusion of Japanese and Singaporean elements; this features omelette rice made of special butter rice, scrambled eggs, Nori sukudani (“seaweed cooked in soy sauce”) and chilli sauce. Whilst also coming with Surimi, the item also does come with a cooked crab leg that was fresh and carried a natural sweetness of crustaceans — the scrambled egg was also pretty decent overall. That being said, the chili sauce was one that seems to veer closer to being one that was more akin to a “spicy tomato sauce”; just felt like there was something missing that prevented it from being one that totally replicated that of chili crab sauce. During our visit, we had also tried the Coffee Jelly Sundae and the Cream Brulee Parfait -Mixed Berries-; the latter being yet another signature item of Royal Host featuring vanilla gelato, chocolate gelato and mixed berries (strawberry, blueberry and blackberry) whilst it is being topped with a layer of caramelized sugar that has been flame-torched to replicate that of an actual Creme Brulee. The Coffee Jelly Sundae on the other hand is yet another adaption done by Royal Host to include a local fusion; the item seeing the use of vanilla gelato and sea salt gula jawa gelato with coffee jelly. Both sundaes are pretty much crowd-pleasers, though the one likely to give a more authentic expedience and carrying more complexity is undoubtedly the Cream Brulee Parfait -Mixed Berries-. It does seem that Royal Host is an establishment that is deserving of the hype generated; they do definitely seem to serve up pretty quality fare though we did notice that they are a little weaker with dishes with a local fusion element. There is also a lot of emphasis on the service whereby it seems that the service crew must bow in front of patrons before rendering assistance to the table, and bow again before resuming their duties — whilst we do feel that Royal Host is likely trying to bring an authentic level of service to their location here, it can get a little overwhelming for patrons looking for a less fussy dining experience. Prices do seem a little steep, though we do think it is pretty worth the price if they could maintain the standards of their food in the long run — perhaps another visit would be in the works to give their full menu a try after it fully launches on 19 July 2024!

Lovely street food and desserts! If you have cravings for some street snacks and good bingsoos, this is one place to try! Owned by Koreans, their food and dessert items were quite authentic! Here are the items we've had: Rose Tteobboki ($13.90) - it may look plain, but I loved the cheesy sauce that goes well with the chewy tteok! It had the perfect amount of spice as well. Cheese Gimbab ($10.90) - this came huge! It had loads of ingredients and all of them tasted fresh. Definitely very homely and comforting. Recommended to share! Hotteok ($4.90) - although this was very different from the usual hotteok you see in Korea, it was still pretty tasty. It may abit too tough for some, but it was alright for me as I liked its chewiness. It wasn't too sweet as well! Watermelon Bingsoo ($16.90 for large size) - actually really authentic, pretty close to the ones I've had in Korea. The watermelon balls were quite sweet and juicy, and the shaved ice was very milky! The gimbab and bingsoo are really worth coming back for 😍 Thank you @foodleaguesg for inviting and @babnbingsoo9 for the delicious food and desserts! Do follow them on Facebook and Instagram for their latest updates!

Roast Pork Char Siu Noodle It has been a while since we have heard about all the news about Char Siu Lang having opened a new location around the island — these folks have been making waves across Singapore ever since they had opened their first location in a coffeeshop at Jalan Bukit Merah several years ago; they had since expanded their operations with another location at Ang Mo Kio some time back, whilst also closing down their original stall at Jalan Bukit Merah since then. With that being said, the opening of their new location is definitely one that had pretty much set some excitement for the residents at Woodlands — their newest location is in the newly-renovated Maxim Stars coffeeshop that is situated the foot of Blk 326 Woodlands Street 32; located within the same coffeeshop would also be Aw’s Signature Minced Meat Noodle that had expanded their operations — the original location being situated at Tanglin Halt, while the notable Kiang Kiang Taiwan Teppanyaki can be found at the coffeeshop located at the block across from Maxim Stars Coffeeshop. Char Siu Lang does serve up pretty much the same offerings that they do from their Ang Mo Kio location (as well as that of their original location at Jalan Bukit Merah) — being an establishment that focuses on their roasted meats, Char Siu Lang serves a variety of roasted meats such as Char Siu, Roast Pork and Roast Chicken. All these can be served either in an Ala-carte format, or to be served with rice or noodles. Given how we were pretty impressed by both their Roast Pork and Char Siu offerings the last time that we had given them a visit at their now-defunct Jalan Bukit Merah location, we decided to go for the Roast Pork Char Siu Noodle during our visit to their Woodlands location. We did not have a chance to give their Lava Egg a go the previous round since the item was unavailable back then; we found ourselves adding the Lava Egg to our order of the Roast Pork Char Siu Noodle — itself being a top-up of $1 on top of the original price of the Roast Pork Char Siu Noodle listed on the menu. It is interesting that the Roast Pork Char Siu Noodle served up at Char Siu Lang does come almost akin to the likes of a Hakka Noodle — while the use of egg noodles instead of Mee Pok deviates from what one would usually identify as Hakka Noodle, it does come with a portion of minced meat on the side that Hakka Noodles typically come with. The egg noodles do come springy; tossed in a savoury sauce that gave it sufficient flavour and a note of spiciness that should do just about fine for those whom are tolerable to moderate levels of spiciness if chili has been opted. Patrons are able to specify on their preferred level of fattiness of the roast pork and Char Siu at Char Siu Lang; that being said, we were informed that they were only left with the lean Char Siu even despite us dropping by during lunch hours on a weekend. Whilst so, the lean Char Siu here would definitely hit the spot even for those whom are into fattier cuts of Char Siu — in fact, the fibres of the lean meat for the Char Siu has been broken down so much to the point that it is rather melt-in-the-mouth; does not require much bite to even chew apart. The honey-glaze on the exterior is also adds a sticky and sweet note with a slight char that creates a bit of crunch without carrying any undesirable, burnt bitterness whilst at it — very close to the style of Char Siew that one can find at Malaysian-style establishments around. Whilst we are definitely missing of enjoying the goodness of fatty Char Siu in general, we definitely did not feel shortchanged by having to resort to the lean Char Siew here. The Roast Pork is also quite worthy of being mentioned; it definitely does come with a crackling skin on the top — the meat being tender and juicy without having felt too gelatinous nor lean, all that whilst the spice rub also did not feel particularly overwhelming nor overly salty as well. The Lava Egg in the meanwhile does seem to come with a creamy egg yolk that has soaked in the goodness of the savoury soy sauce that it was marinated in, though these definitely does not come with a flowy, molten egg yolk — still one that is worth the add for the soft whites and aptly savoury notes that it carries, providing a bit of a difference especially for those who can’t do without the braised eggs at usual Hong Kong-style roasted meat stalls. Prices of the individually-sized roast meats plus rice / noodle dishes at Char Siu Lang can be considered to be pretty competitively priced as compared to other establishments that serve similar fare at coffee shops / hawker centres / food courts — the prices start from $4.50 for Roast Chicken Rice / Noodle, while the items feature a mix of two (2) types of meats such as Char Siu Roast Pork Rice / Noodle, Char Siu Roast Chicken Rice / Noodle, and Roast Pork Chicken Rice / Noodle are all priced at $6. Considering their quality of roast meats against other stalls located in the same neighbourhood, Char Siu Lang is a spot that is definitely one that will gain popularity with the folks residing around its area in Woodlands!

Cream Spinach, Mac & Cheese, Corn Bread Bibingka We were intrigued because the chefs here come with big credentials. These are some sides. Overall there's some quality that matches the price point, but I liked the corn bread more than the rest.

Three Meats Platter We were intrigued because the chefs here come with big credentials. Order the platter if you wanna try more meats. We chose chopped brisket, St Louis pork ribs and smoked chicken leg. The beef was clearly the best but it's salty. Although the chicken was done well, it's chicken so it can't fly further. Like most American food, the sauces are just to zhng further and you don't really need them.

Platter for 3 ($110) + Beef Ribs ($68/500g) Hidden in Sembawang Hill, lies à restaurant that simply looked different from the rest. After so many restaurant trying to make the corner work, Social Smoker came and settle down to make their name as the laidback “bad boy” of meat. Juicy, tender, and falling off the bone; the meat is well seasoned & well cooked. Beef Brisket was my personal favourite; tender and meaty. And the pork ribs was my least favourite; only because I don’t think the classic American BBQ sauce did any justice go the very much flavourful meat (sauce on the side would be better).
