Mountain beef burger13.5nett add egg 0.8nett Always rmb to add egg The beef patty is surprisingly decent. That's rather high praise from me, for a hawker stall. Quite tender, there's some bite, and good beefiness. However the bread is bad, too dense and dry and that ruins everything even tho the rest of the ingredients were all satisfactory. Also it's difficult to eat, it's hard to get a bit of everything in one bite cos it's so high Service: asked the dude what's in a mountain burger and he didn't understand my question. It's as if he expects everyone to know that mountain means double patty??

Grilled sirloin promotion 10.5nett The first bite of the fat cap stunned me w it's flavour. However the rest is more what you would expect. For this price, I have to say this is reasonably palatable alr. Still chewy but at least it's somewhat tender and there's muscle texture. Unfortunately there's also sth like a tendon that's very very chewy Overall it's decent for what you're paying

Ckn fish combo 13.9nett add on egg 0.8nett You have a choice of both fish and ckn styles The Italian spices fish was surprising cos I didn't expect a brown sauce but it was quite good. The fish was slightly crispy too I got the Hawaiian ckn for the novelty, it's mozz with a well spiced tomato sauce(almost Cajun spices) and pineapple inside. Basically Hawaiian pizza toppings And it actually works. Somehow it's quite harmonious, but not exceptional tho Coleslaw was good and the broccoli was still v bland. Overall its decent, I had a little bit of tummy ache after so I'm quite sure if I'd recommend it

Sizzling From JWS Grille Factory Served with cheesy broccoli, corn & mashed potato. Medium grilled NZ Grassfed Prime Sirloin Steak sitting on sliced onion. Satisfying portion.

🇸🇬 JWS Grille Factory, Toa Payoh Lorong 4. JWS Grille Factory can be found in several heartland coffeeshops. I have been a fan of their affordable and good western food since discovering them at a coffeeshop in Toa Payoh Lorong 4. For their signature chicken burger ($7.50), you get a large piece of chicken chop in a bun with caramelized onions and pineapple. I like that they actually use a piece of grilled chicken meat instead of processed chicken. I usually get a double for an extra 2 bucks. The burger also comes with two generous portions of sides -- the coleslaw is decent but do get their fries and add an additional 50 cents for their cheese or yuzu mayo fries. For less than $10, you get a good satisfying meal. #andreats #burpple #singapore #singaporefood #food #foodie #foodofinstagram #foodsnap #foodiesofinstagram #foodstagram #gastrogram #sgfood #sgfoodies #sgeats #igfood #igfoodies #instayum #instafood #instafood_sg #uglydelicious #eeeeats #thisiswhyimfat #hawker #hawkerfood #sghawker #sghawkerfood #yummy #싱가폴맛집 #맛있어요 #cheapeats

🇸🇬 JWS Grille Factory, Bishan. JWS Grille Factory has opened an outlet in Bishan! I no longer have to make a trip to Toa Payoh or Ang Mo Kio for some good and affordable western fare. For their opening special, they are offering a NZ sirloin steak for only $9.90. They opened the weekend before the Circuit Breaker kicked in so the opening promotion seems to be continuing. We tried their steak and it's decent considering the price. As for the salmon spaghetti, the salmon was a little overcooked and the tomato sauce a little too watery. We tried their grilled fish cream pasta on another occasion and that was a lot better. Tip of the day: stick to their chicken and burgers and you can't go wrong! #andreats #burpple #singapore #singaporefood #food #foodie #foodofinstagram #foodsnap #foodiesofinstagram #foodstagram #gastrogram #sgfood #sgfoodies #sgeats #igfood #igfoodies #instayum #instafood #instafood_sg #uglydelicious #eeeeats #thisiswhyimfat #hawker #hawkerfood #sghawker #sghawkerfood #yummy #싱가폴맛집 #맛있어요 #cheapeats

Poultry smell / Smelly chicken Hello there. I love getting my lunch at Omnivore as I feel it’s totally value for money and more importantly they serve good quality food. But off late, I’ve experienced a disturbing poultry smell in their chicken preparations. Even when we go to their retail outlet in Raffles, the whole place smells of poultry. Not sure if it’s because of change in the source or new preparation methods.. this noticeable poultry smell affects the overall enjoyment of the meal. It seemed like the chicken might not have been as fresh as it should have been. I understand that occasional issues can arise in any kitchen, but this is a concern that needs attention. I encourage the management to ensure rigorous quality control measures are in place for their chicken procurement and storage. I wanted to give this feedback in Omnivore’s website but couldn’t find their website or feedback section. Pls take this feedback as constructive. It is only because customers like me want to encourage the improvement & help the business. Cheers!

Fav Place For DIY bowls I’ve been having omnivore for years since my bf started working at Raffles Place and I can never get over the food here. For one, portion sizes are MASSIVE and very value for money. The ingredients are so so fresh and I’ve not had one option that disappointed me. Protein-wise I love their duck and chicken thigh. Sauces are on point too, get the pesto and honey mustard. Sometimes I wish I worked at the CBD area so I can have this more often.

Biggest salad bowl The portions at this place are massive! I used to pass this restaurant daily during my lunch break but it was always super crowded. Finally, my friend ordered lunch for me from this place and saved on so much time by using this app ‘Waittr’. At 12 pm - the collection time he had put - we went to the restaurant and cut the queue to pick up our lunch 😎 The regular bowl is huge and totally worth the price - in fact worth much more than the price. Kept me full for the whole day and gave me the energy I needed for my workout after work!

Beef Bowl 😋🍚🍴 Yummy Beef Bowl from Yoshinoya. Thinly sliced beef with japanese rice and miso soup.

Double Up Beef Bowl | $9.00 Now that they’re having a promotion for double beef at $9 I think it’s so worth it. However, the beef still seems the same as their usual portion. They can do with more beef. Beef was tender and just right with their gravy. It wasn’t too salty and went well with their soft and fluffy rice.

Comfort Food Never fails to satisfy and the standard has remained all these years. Only 2 complains are they replaced miso soup with seaweed soup and the sichimi togarashi powder with this chilli powder that looks like what you have it with prawn noodles.

Standard dropped Not as delicious as years ago. Prices are also slightly high ($5 for bigger portion of the standard chicken rice) for a normal-quality chicken rice.

Chicken Rice (SGD $5.50) @ Yishun 925 Hainanese Chicken Rice. This franchise was certainly affected by the recent disruption to supply of fresh chickens, with their serving of chicken increasingly being thin sliced. . Still, be it poached or roasted, the highlight is their gravy, robust with meaty savoury salty sweet nutty flavour, infusing the tender chewy chicken meat. . The fluffy oily rice is properly decadent with grainy savoury sweet flavour, while the juicy sliced cucumbers and achar / pickled Peranakan salad carry vegetal sweet sour tangy zesty notes. . Completed with a cloudy but tasty chicken broth. Expect a short queue, though it moves quickly. . . . Chicken Rice Yishun 925 Hainanese Chicken Rice @ 925 Yishun Central 1 #01-249 .

925 Chicken Rice Some say that 925 Chicken Rice is the best chicken rice in Yishun. Do you agree? Well, read on to find out what I think. Only steamed chicken is served here. Sorry, roast chicken fans. It’s quite reasonably priced for what you get for $4 (1 person). You get to choose your chicken parts (breast, thigh, drumstick). I chose drumstick as they were still preparing the thigh meat at the time I went. And it’s served with a tiny serving of achar, a side soup (it’s translucent and not clear). The rice was reasonably fluffy and fragrant where it doesn’t clump together. But not exceptionally flavourful. The chicken itself was tender (it’s drumstick after all) but not as silky and juicy as what I would expect. I like the special sauce as it added a bit of flavour to the dish. I expected the chilli to wow me over. But it didn’t had the tangy kick or the garlicky punch. And doesn’t have the spiciness factor too. It didn’t taste the same as when I had it back at its sister outlet at Ang Mo Kio 722. Do the food at the Ang Mo Kio outlets taste better than the OG at Yishun? I feel that the standards have dropped slightly. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a good plate of chicken rice. But is it worth the detour? Probably not.

Nakhon Kitchen If you are craving for Thai food, you can go there to taste some of their dishes. I would say the dishes are not bad but not like amazing. All the dishes are around $10/pax ( pretty affordable for an authentic Thai food) Would I go back? Not really as I’m not really into Thai food :)) But if you have sudden craving for Thai food that might be the place to go!!

Pineapple Fried Rice Pineapple Fried rice for lunch in a very nice and affordable place 😌

Phad Thai Delicious and authentic phad thai around yishun. Good to share with other dishes as well..

Award Winning Mookata Highly recommended by a friend to try, the best mookata she ever had. Thai Hao Chi Mookata is just next to Springleaf MRT station exit. So convenient. Thai Hao Chi mookata uses charcoal, one of the few in Singapore that does. Tables were big and spacious. Ingredients were all fresh and I really enjoyed their marinated meats that were a burst of flavours, I enjoyed the chicken and pork more than the beef. What's rather unique here is that they serve bak hwa, which was very good and is a must try when u come here. Another must try side-dish when u are here, is the Thai style abalone. Can get very crowded on weekends, so please make reservations prior to arriving.

Suddenly craving for Mookata, so decided to go try Thai Hao Chi Mookata. They have 2 different timing for dinner, mine is 7.45. They only have one set menu, $39.9 for 2 pax , after that diners can top up other ingredients. I like the marinate pork, its tasty, the rest ingredients are pretty basic, and the soup quite robust, it will be better if the chilli more spicy. Recommended to call 8553 5581 before come down, coz they always full.

Charcoal mookata Service was fast and great. Rec the chicken the most as it was very well marinated. Should have more flavours of meat as the other ingredients were quite average. Soup was good and flavourful!

Arguably Best Prata in Singapore Went to the OG Springleaf Prata Place at Springleaf Garden on a Saturday night for a late dinner and to catch up with friends. Having discovered this gem many years ago, I've returned countless times. It's one of the most popular prata spots in Singapore, not just for their yearly specialty prata creations, but because their prata is consistently top-notch, always leaving me in awe. There's something special about their dough—it’s perfectly fragrant, with an ideal balance of chewiness and a crisp finish. The dining environment is comfortable, with air-conditioned seating inside that doesn’t compromise the authentic ambience of a local prata place. During my most recent visit, I ordered two of my all-time favorites: the Murtaburger and Roti Bomb. The Murtaburger, part of their ultimate series, is inspired by the famous Ramly burger. It features lamb patties and various sauces, all executed perfectly, with a generous portion size. The Roti Bomb is the best sweet prata choice, with perfectly melted sugar glazed over their perfect prata dough—truly a life-changing experience. Beyond these two, I highly recommend some of my other favorites. The cheese prata is excellent with a huge portion size, while their specialty series Plaster Blaster offers a unique experience with poached egg and hollandaise sauce over prata. If prata isn’t your thing, their other mains such as Mutton Briyani and Maggi goreng are seriously good too. While they used to be open until the early hours, they now close at 11 pm due to operational changes. The queue can get extremely long, especially on weekends and some weekday nights, so plan for some additional waiting time. However, the food is served relatively quite quickly once ordered. In my opinion, Springleaf Prata Place truly stands at the top. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a unique yet authentic prata and dining experience.

Shiok Shiok Ah Sausage & Cheese Prata The folks at Springleaf Prata Place really deserves a mention whenever it comes to their fusion Roti Prata offerings — with items such as the Umami-50 (i.e. a Murtabak featuring chicken luncheon, chicken floss, mozzarella and Japanese Mayo) and the Plaster Blaster (i.e. their unique take of a fusion of Roti Prata and Eggs Benedict) on their menu, we do really applaud their efforts in launching really fun and creative, modern interpretations of Roti Prata that would appeal to the masses. Being one of their latest creations, the Shiok Shiok Ah line-up was only introduced into their menu fairly recently — offering several versions that include the Original, Sausage, Cheese and the Sausage & Cheese variants, the Shiok Shiok Ah line-up is a fusion Roti Prata that sees the Shakshuka combined with the Roti Prata; all items from this line-up are served in a cast iron skillet as one would expect usually for a shakshuka, though with the Roti Prata being hidden at the bottom of the skillet rather than served on the side to be dipped into the skillet containing the other ingredients. Making our trip to their original outlet at Springleaf Gardens for the Shiok Shiok Ah Sausage & Cheese, it is noted that the Roti Prata served in the Shiok Shiok Ah line-up does seem to be sized a little smaller than their usual plain Roti Prata — perhaps due to them having to be really precise on having to fit the Roti Prata into the skillet nicely. That being said, the plain Roti Prata that is hiding beneath all the stuff that is going on the Shakshuka bears the same consistency as what one would have expected from their usual plain Roti Prata — one that is still crisp on the outside, but not totally cracker-esque crisp given how their usual plain Roti Prata tends to still carry a good tension when one attempts to pull it apart. The Roti Prata also carries a good flavour from the flour that they have used; that being said, the main part of the Shiok Shiok Ah would be where the fusion element with the Shakshuka lies — coming with a tomato sauce that comes with capsicums, we like how the sauce wasn’t too runny so as to refrain from making the Roti Prata too soggy unintentionally; a detail that they seemed to have nailed there. The tomato sauce that came with capsicums provides much of the refreshing tang that one would associate with the bell pepper sauce of the Shakshuka, while the egg came with a molten egg yolk — something which we wouldn’t really expect mamak-style restaurants to do too well; but yet another detail that they have looked into here. The sausage that came with the Shiok Shiok Ah Sausage & Cheese Prata comes with a slightly crusted casing from the grilling process — does add to the textural aspect of things here; but otherwise, the sausage used here provides a really meaty bite that is quite unlike that of chicken sausages though interestingly doesn’t carry any undesirable gamey notes. We were not served with any curries from the self-service kiosk when the Shiok Shiok Ah Sausage & Cheese Prata came to our table — though having tried, the Shiok Shiok Ah Sausage & Cheese Prata with the Fish Curry which we helped ourselves to, we do think that the Shiok Shiok Ah Sausage & Cheese Prata doesn’t really quite need the curries and does well enough on its own in terms of how it tastes. One thing for certain though — the Shiok Shiok Ah Sausage & Cheese Prata despite its innovative and unique take on a fusion Roti Prata with a modern twist, can be said as an item that is slightly on the pricier side; priced at $8.90, the slightly smaller size of the plain Roti Prata here is a little bit of a drawback of the dish though they are also probably restricted to having the Roti Prata sized in a way that the skillet would be able to contain it. However, the slightly higher price for the dish could also be justified somewhat for the use of more premium ingredients such as that of the sausage, and the overall labour on the dish such as that of the molten egg yolk for the egg which they have seemed to have executed well. For those who are also looking for something quick to have, the Shiok Shiok Ah Sausage & Cheese Prata also does involves a longer waiting time as compared to most of their simpler Roti Prata offerings due to how it is made — something which is worth considering for those who are looking to have a fast meal here. That being said, the Shiok Shiok Ah Sausage & Cheese Prata is still a novelty item that we would say that is definitely worth trying at least once to experience their take of a fusion between Roti Prata and Shakshuka. As always, we would be looking forward to what these creative folks behind Springleaf Prata Place would be coming up with next — the possibilities just seem to be endless with these folks here!

Chicken Murtabak ($7.5) & Maggi Goreng ($4.5) THE place to get your prata fix.

928 Laksa (Big) 928 Laksa is no new kid on the block, it’s been seeing a steady and long queue of customers for many years and is one of our favourite foods from Yishun. For $4.10 you get a generous bowl of laksa, filled with aromatic lemak laksa broth that’s hit with the right blend of spices that give you so so much nostalgia. We opted to switch out the crab stick and cockles and the aunty kindly gave us more beancurd puffs and egg. No doubt, it’s one of the BEST laksa’s in SG.

Takeaway Laksa (S$3.80/ large) Additional S$0.30 for takeaway container
