OG Lemak Set (Upgrade to Chicken Thigh) | $7.90 + $2 Landed my hands on a OG Lemak Set when I went to Newton food centre on a weekend evening. Although I was meaning to try their rendang sets, they were unfortunately sold out for the day. I was absolutely blown away by the sambal belachan. Nasi Lemak is admittedly not my go to meal, but when I eat it, I look out for its fragrance and more importantly, their chilli. OG Lemak serves their Nasi Lemak with two kinds of chilli — sambal Tunis and sambal belachan. The sambal Tunis is the more common chilli you’d get in your Nasi lemak, giving sweeter nodes to your meal. I did however, adore the sambal belachan because of the very well-executed sour and spicy kick it gave. Because their rice is twice steamed, the result was a soft and lightly textured plain of rice. I did not find it fragrant enough though. Upgrading my chicken to a chicken thigh, the portion was sizably decent. The chicken itself was pretty unique, because it’s unlike the fried chicken wing you’d find at your usual Nasi lemak stalls. The batter was thin and crispy, which makes the whole meal feel slightly less tad oily. Whilst unique, whether or not I’d prefer this over my usual fried chicken wing is a whole new issue. Truth is, I don’t. The chicken was huge but dry, and their take on chicken skin was not enticing enough to win me over. Let’s be real, the higher price point doesn’t make this very attractive either, especially when you can get much cheaper and more fragrant options out there. Rate:🌟🌟

For Chef Shen Tan's Take Of Nasi Lemak in Newton Vegan Set ($9.90) Time to indulge in Chef Shen Tan's signature Twice-Steamed Nasi Lemak that’s made with, get this, eleven ingredients. I chose the Vegan Set ($9.90), a first by her, and enjoyed it very much. For me, the star was undoubtedly the rice - it was as light, fluffy and aromatic as I recall. But that’s not to say I didn’t relish every bite of the beancurd, two sambal stir-fries of crunchy sambal goreng and mushy-soft brinjal, because I most certainly did. There were also the fried pieces of tempeh, fresh cucumber slices and a very appetising spicy and tangy chilli sambal that rounded off my vibrant-coloured serving. 📸 & ✍🏻 by Tastemaker Veronica Phua

OG Lemak Love the rice and the chilli sauce, all goes well with the coconutty rice. Ikan bilis serving can be more generous 😄

Stupid Queue System Takeaway queue should be different from dine in queue. Was made to wait in line for dine in and there were three people in front of us, refuse to take order for takeaway. Can’t you just allow us to put in orders for takeaway like what other restaurants do? We had to wait for 3 groups to get their seats first, before we can place our takeaway order. Doesn’t make sense.

1-1 Beef Noodles Ordered the beef balls and beef slices noodles. Soup was very flavourful and there was generous servings of meat and noodles. Sides were not part of the deal but was pretty affordable. Ice honey lemon is what it is (ok). Tried the soup options this time but will definitely be back to try to dry ones!! EXCITING!! 😋

Won’t Crave For It Tried it because of the 1-1 + heard a lot about this & it’s opened in the east but soso only leh. I only remember the beef noodles was good with the chilli

Mee siam Flavourful dry mee siam (from $6.90) with mild spiciness, and extra fiery kick from the accompanying sambal. Enjoyed the juicy and generously sized meatballs and fish cake. These ready-to-eat meals are ultra convenient (simply microwave/boil), and can be kept frozen for up to a month.

· 🍱 Cube Cube Japanese Bento 。... ~ · Sen-Ryo Special Bento - $29.80 · Revisiting Sen-Ryo, this time on a weekday to try out their lunch menu. Their Special Bento is rather iconic, which comes with chef's selection of best 9. There’s assortment of sashimi, sen-ryo's tamagoyaki and more. Served with Japanese rice, miso soup and warabi mochi. Love the salmon sashimi and pumpkin croquette. Do give it a try · Sen-Ryo @senryosg

· 🐮 Beef Don at Sen-Ryo 。... ~ · Australian Wagyu Don - $18.80 · Walk-in to Sen-Ryo during weekend is tough, as the restaurant is popular for its delicious Japanese cuisines, thus online booking is recommended. I tried the wagyu beef don, and added sen-ryo Tamagoyaki ($2.50). Beef strips are flavourful and tender, the don could use more sauce, luckily the runny egg helped. I love the sweet savoury tamagoyaki, a great addition to savoury mains. Would be back to try their popular weekday set lunch · Sen-Ryo @senryosg

Chirashi That fatty Otoro is amazing , super fresh fish . Go during lunch coz the sets are worth it

Charashi don A hidden gem

Bara Chirashi Don Haven't been here for a long while and one thing for sure is that they have taken their presentation up a notch. The Bara Chirashi Don was served in a ceramic white soup plate instead of a bowl. It was gorgeous to behold as it's plated beautifully and vibrantly coloured from the assortment of diced sashimi and topped with ikura and edible flowers. Interestingly it had blocks of steamed egg instead of tamago.

Don (Lunch) (~save $20) Looking for a fusion take on the traditional Japanese Izakaya? IPPAI should be your next go-to joint! Their menu features a wide variety of dishes ranging from dons and sashimi, to grilled meats and seafood. If you’re on a lunch break, you should most definitely opt for their Chirashi Don.

Hokkien mee 19.8+ Quite ridiculous. For this price, the noodles themselves weren't particularly good, and the stock was not even as good as some of the better hokkien mees There's squid rolls and large crystal prawns inside to justify the price Chili was very sour and spicy, that worked fine No need to try this. There wasn't even much wok hei

Signature ebi noodles 15.9+svc The soup was clear, it's not particularly good, passable depth and there's a smokiness Noodles were very average, not enough bite, ckn was not seasoned and prawns were abit overcooked Overall it's alright, no need to waste your time

ebibarsg, located at Cuppage Plaza, launched other option for carbs beside the “ramen”, and it’s Kway teow. The chef fried the Kway teow to get the char taste before served with the thick umami broth, pair of their signature charred prawns, prawn balls and gyoza. 💰$18.9 Beside this I also tried their Ebi and Vege-Crispy Fritter kway teow. The fritter crispy,I preferable to eat separately from the carbs as a side dish. 📍Ebi Bar. Cuppage plaza #B1-21.

DongBei BBQ Dongbei da gu is huge!

Mala Crayfish ($38) Ventured into this shaokao 烧烤 place round the corner as the popular one has a long wait time. Offering BBQ meat and vegetable skewers (range from $1), the adventurous can get more exotic options like pig heart, lamb kidney, even chicken head. Be careful though as they are heavily spiced that I accidentally choke on one and got teary. Recommend to get Tsing Dao Beer so you can gulp down anytime. Firecracker Chicken ($14) and Crayfish ($38) are some tantalising mains to try.

桂花酸梅汤 Osmanthus Sour Plum [$2.50] Washed our meal down with this Osmanthus Sour Plum drink. Was expecting it to be very sweet like how some Chinese drinks are, but glad it wasn’t. It was a nice sweet and sour, quite refreshing with hints of the osmanthus! 📍东北烧烤饺子馆 Dong Bei Shao Kao Jiao Zi Guan 32 Upper Cross Street Singapore 058339

Fan-fucking-tastic Indonesian grub. I’ve known about Tok Tok for years now. I can’t quite say why it took me so long to visit; but I guess it was the combination of Indonesian friends swearing by them for 10/10 authentic Indonesian grub + the complete inability to visit Bali, that finally got me there. And might I say I was disappointed in myself for not having gone there sooner? This Nasi Campur was everything I remember of Bali: fragrant hot rice, a sweet crunchy kicap manis-ridden tempeh, a rich tender rendang, and tons of other tasty af components — served with a fucking punchy sambal on the side. FYI they make a fucking solid teh susu like yo I couldn’t stop reaching for the damn straw.

Presentation Epic Fail I was looking forward to this as we miss bali a lot! Love how they serve their food on bamboo plate/brown paper. I was utterly disappointed to see the food we ordered came in disposable ware which made the food more like hawker takeout. They seriously need to do something about this and please do not use Covid as an excuse. Food was just alright but on the salty side.

Nasi Campur Bali Tok Tok is famous for their Indonesian food and they have a few outlets across the country, with one outlet at Ang Siang Hill. Nasi Campur Bali attracted me with all the colourful items on it. Expect items like sliced dried beef tossed with sambal, Balinese style beef rendang, sambal shredded chicken, beef skewers with sambal, Balinese style stir fry long bean, sweet and spicy fried tempeh and egg tossed with sambal. Yes that’s all the items on one bowl. Definitely worth it with only $9.90! Be prepared to challenge with the sambal spiciness here and also all the dry meats here.
