The obvious special thing is the blue rice which is a fragrant alternative to coconut rice, which went well with the chilli and juicy fried chicken. $4.50 for the set + extra if you add stuff.

Protip: they serve their signature rendang chicken on Tuesdays, will be back for that!

Coffee here's pretty good! It's surprisingly popular even on a weekday morning, and got crowded around lunch.

Pretty decent slice of carrot cake, definitely enjoyed it!

That hot peppery soup, that warm steaming rice, and meaty pork ribs to chew on, oh yeah.

The dish that was the least exciting sounding of the lot during New Ubin Seafood & The Drinking Partners' zi char & craft beer brunch, but believe me when I say that the flavors present in this plate was a force o' nature.

Thin, springy slivers of flat rice noodles are thoroughly infused with astonishing amounts of wok hei before it's thoroughly tossed together with some dark sauce, chye poh, omelette ribbons and exceptionally crispy chunks of pork lard that has had all the fat thoroughly rendered out of it.

The product is a plate full of kway-zy tasty kway teow. The chye poh provides the crunch, saltiness and familiar flavors of carrot cake, while the slick but not oily strands of kway teow turn up with all that wok hei goodness that they're packing along with that addictive carb hit. The shredded omelette gives a heavier feel to the dish, and the crispy pork lard just throws everything right over the top. Despite the orgy of delicious flavors and textures running riot, the dish is still surprisingly light in terms of richness. As a matter of fact, I could probably inhale the entire plate of this totally titillating dish and not even blink.

Better yet, this light yet powerful dish was paired with Rye & Pint Brewery's stellar Sunday Brew pilsner, which complemented the kway teow perfectly with its medium carbonation, light and smooth body, and pleasantly floral taste.

In short, this shit kway, yo. Every time you swing by New Ubin, get the chye poh kway teow. Don't ask so many questions, just get a plate of this. Or three.

This is how bread should be done. Especially amazing when it's freshly baked, they have many yummy flavors such as banana chocolate, basil cheese, and bacon, tomato & egg mayo. This has become an almost daily affair for breakfast. It's slightly pricier than a bun at your regular neighbourhood bakery, but it's slightly bigger and worth every cent. Give it a try!

Nestled in the basement of MyVillage, simple place for good coffee

Simple but can't go wrong! That's the good thing about these chain outlets.

A huge sphere of praline and espresso infused ball that allows to you to DIY your own iced praline latte with a side of warm steamed milk provided. Prepare for the feast to your sight as the coffee sphere slowly melts and dissolves upon contact with the warm milk! 😍Not usually a coffee drinker but one sip of it got me sold! Amidst the milky caffeine aroma, the subtle nutty flavour and aroma of praline slowly seeps through, a lingering and pleasant sensation to the palate. Though I would personally for the sweetness to be toned down slightly more for a more distinct coffee flavour .

Somewhere Only We Know uses beans from Brazil for their coffee here. The coffee was rather milky overall, lacking body somehow.
