During my NS/ student days, @49seats has been on my to-do list but it never got checked off somehow. So recently I was invited for a meal there and tried their legendary Tom Yum Salted Egg Seafood Pasta with Chicken Cutlet among other dishes.
A pasta that I’d recommend for those who prefer something not saucy. Spaghetti that’s cooked al dente (bare minimum for any good pasta for me), pieces of smoked duck, mushrooms, garlic and chilli. I’d say the smoked duck was tender and flavourful. You can choose your level of spiciness for this dish too.
Thank you @49seats for hosting us.

A combination of spaghetti - cooked al dente - with tom yum and salted egg sauce. You’ll enjoy a generous serving of prawns, clams, mussels and breaded chicken cutlet.
I opted for standard level of spiciness although there’s the extra spicy and Level 49 spicy versions available. I found it to be extremely mild. No doubt the sauce was creamy, tangy and tasty.
As for the salted egg sauce, it’s creamy but the salted egg taste is weak. The breaded chicken cutlet was crispy and flavourful which complemented well with the dish.

Chilli mee is of the less common hawker dishes you can find. In fact, this was the first time I had it in my entire life. You can check out Chung Cheng Chilli Mee (01-59) at Golden Mile Food Centre to try this dish. If chilli mee isn’t what you fancy, get their prawn mee and laksa.
Golden Mile Food Centre will be closed from December 2020 till March 2021. So head down soon if you wanna try this.
The minimum order for a bowl of noodles is $3. If you want more ingredients and noodles, go for the $4 or $5 one.
What stands out here is the homemade chilli paste that's with sambal belachan and other spices. You can ask for as much chilli as you want.
Despite its name, the sambal isn’t incredibly spicy. But it lean towards the sweet and savoury side. As I prefer my chilli paste to be spicy, I found this to be a bit mild and bland for my taste buds.
We opted for yellow noodles mixed with bee hoon (rice vermicelli), but you can choose other type of noodles such as kway teow and mee pok.
You’ll get some prawns, pork ribs, fish cake, beancurd puffs (tau pok) and beansprouts. I found the ingredients to be decent but nothing Terryfic. Probably I was full (as we had Hokkien mee too), but I didn’t find the soup to be memorable either.
Not really my favourite noodle dish. Given that Golden Mile Food Centre has many other stalls, I’d rather try them first before returning. But do give this a try if you never had their chilli mee before.
I can’t wait to go for a weekend trip to Malaysia soon. But for now, I’ll settle for some mouth watering Malaysian delights such as Penang-style cendol, claypot chicken rice and Klang bak kut teh at @malaysiaboleh_sg - a 1960s themed attraction dining destination at Jurong Point, AMK Hub and Eastpoint Mall.
Inspired by the legendary Klang bak kut teh, the soup is boiled with pork ribs, garlic and a blend of herbs and spices. As it’s been catered to local tastes, the soup is less herbal in flavour than what you’ll get in Klang/ Klang Valley. Beancurd skin, pork belly slices and button mushrooms are added for additional nutrition.

Claypot Chicken Rice ($5). Cooked over gas stoves (not charcoal), one can’t help but to notice the aroma of sesame oil and the fragrant toppings of chicken, lup cheong, shiitake mushroom and salted fish. And absolutely love the crusty bits (soccarat) at the bottom of the claypot.

The signature dessert here. You feel like you’re at the famous Penang Road in Penang eating cendol but in an air-conditioned environment. I like the fragrant coconut milk and fresh pandan jelly. Most food courts use the factory packaged ones which can be hard. Cendol is one of my favourite desserts and I’d have this again.

Handmade noodles with dry chilli, minced pork, shiitake mushrooms, poached egg, kangkung, fried anchovies (ikan bilia) and fried onions. The noodles had a good bite. But the dry chilli could have an additional kick of spice to perfectly complement the dish.

The fried oyster/ orh jian is cooked in Penang style. The orh jian is relatively on the starchy, gooey side and isn’t crispy. The plump, juicy oysters and the fluffy, wet egg omelette are certainly worth looking forward to. Don’t forget to dip it in chilli sauce for a spicy, garlicky touch.

Penang char kway teow goes easy on the dark soy sauce and doesn’t use sweet sauce. What’s enjoyable is the wok hei (charred taste) on the slightly chewy kway teow (rice noodles) and the generous bits of pork lard. It’s fried with prawns, beansprouts and chives. But prepared to be disappointed if you love your cockles or lup cheong (Chinese sausage) as there’s none here.
How I wished duck eggs were available in Singapore and we will have the full Penang char kway teow experience.

Can you believe it’s my first time eating Sarawak Kolo Mee? Where do you go for Kolo Mee in Singapore or Kuching even? Being very curious, I joined the short queue at Sarawak Kolo Mee by Jin’s Noodle at Amoy Street Food Centre (02-110). They have opened a couple of outlets including the Kopitiam at Tampines Mall.
Let me tell you what’s inside their Kolo Mee. For $4/5, be treated to a bowl of thin and springy yellow noodles with minced pork, char siew, boiled wanton, fried wanton and cai sim/ choy sum. It’s finished off with an aromatic mixture of fried onion and lard although for some reason there’s a bit of water that’s collected at the bottom of the bowl. Help yourself to the sambal chilli and green chilli. You can opt for spinach noodles too.
There’s a good amount of meat to give you enough protein for the afternoon. It was great that the fried and boiled wantons that’s filled with a good amount of minced pork. And the char siew was meaty and not of the lean and dry variety.
It’s a pretty good bowl of kolo mee although I don’t have a benchmark to compare it against. I found the portions to be reasonably filling but not food coma inducing.

If you ever had 21 Sliders - that used to roam about at carnivals and Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar, you’d be happy to know that it has made a comeback as @cultsliders at Hermano by @theofficialsleepinggiants in Boat Quay. Choose from a range of sliders and mains. 🍔
The American Cheese ($5). You can’t go wrong with this. Good old cheeseburger with caramelised onions, gherkin and caramelised ketchup.
The Backyard ($5). Sliders with turkey bacon and smokey barbecue sauce. Turkey bacon is lean and crispy that adds a crunch to the juicy beef burger. And the barbecue sauce elevates the flavour of the slider.
The Wrangler ($5). Great for those who are afraid of gaining weight but want to satisfy their sinful cravings. A chunky, juicy piece of crispy chicken thigh, spicy buffalo sauce and purple slaw to satisfy your daily veggie intake.
The Dirty Standoff ($5). Cheeseburger slider with nacho cheese, salsa and tortilla chips. It has a Tex-Mex feel although I felt it’s a lot to put in a slider.
The 421 ($5). Grilled chicken thigh, purple slaw, pineapple and tangy mayonnaise.
The Cult’s Cutlet ($15.90). LOOK at this HUGE piece of CRISPY AND SUCCULENT CHICKEN CUTLET that ain’t too oily. Eat this during lunch only if you got a BIG appetite. And I actually enjoyed the side of Truffle Tots which is seldom served at most places.
The Mac & Cheese Miller ($12.90). Absolutely love how creamy this Mac and Cheese was. Perfect for those who are really hungry and love their carbs.
Cult Fries ($12). A massive pile of fries topped with slices of fried chicken, caramelised onions and drizzled with piquant buffalo sauce. Don’t attempt to have this on your own.
[LUNCH DEAL] Available from 11:30 am – 1:30 pm: From $7.90 – $11.90 for combos consisting of sliders, a drink and choice of a side, all mains will be available at $12.90.
Thank you @pyjemmas, Amos and @cultsliders for hosting this tasty lunch!
