The best prawn noodles I had so far!
Really love the modern twist to this yummy bowl of prawn noodles. The sauce with the onsen egg made it really nice to slurp! The homemade meat ball was well marinated and was full of flavour! Pork was also nicely forced and I kept it for the last! ;) will definitely be back!
The grilled chicken was one of the more well seasoned ones out there! The salad leaves were just nicely coated with the right amount of Japanese sesame dressing. The shredded carrot added a nice touch of sweetness and texture. The avocado cannot be seen in the picture, but I was pleasantly surprised as well to find it under the egg! It was creamy and perfect, unlike many salad places where their avocado can be slightly unripe and tough. Overall I loved everything. The balance of flavour was good, and the dressing was subtle and complemented the dish rather than overpower it.
Favourite fish soup that my buddy and I always go for whenever we can spare a little time to queue. Sadly, the portion of fish seems to be smaller now. Prefer their fried fish as it's meaty and crisp from frying it on the spot. But honestly both are good - the fish used here are very fresh! Soup is tasty, accented by the milk but isn't overly milky. I believe it's also lightly spiked with a tinge of Chinese rice wine to bring out the flavours.
The only thing separating Tiong Bahru Wanton Mee and Bee Kee Wanton Mee is a flight of stairs (even their prices are similar!) but you can almost sense the rivalry between the two stalls with both stalls attracting long queues each day. So who's better?
Tiong Bahru's wanton mee is definitely the more generous of the warring duo, with a huge bowl cradling its bounty of springy, competently cooked noodles, an abundance of thick, meaty slices of sexy, smoky, savory char siew, a fishcake (wot m8?), and of course, the stars of the show, boiled and deep fried wantons. The wantons are flawlessly fried to a gorgeous golden brown, and the meaty contents within are superbly seasoned. The char siew is undoubtedly delicious, but it tended to get tough and was decidedly lacking in flavorsome fat. As for the noodles themselves, they were luscious and drenched in the delicious sauce mix.
My verdict? If you're ridiculously ravenous, Tiong Bahru strikes an exceptional equity between huge portions and huge flavors, and Bee Kee is the bee's knees when it comes to giving you a first class ticket to Flavortown.
Really liked how this is so simple but so good — the hue of the ice-cream comes naturally from Blue Pea Flowers; a rather interesting use of the ingredient that is refreshing from its usual application in colour-changing drinks (yea, I know). What is so good about this flavour — that pinch of salt which helps to add a slight touch of savouriness amidst the milkiness for just that bit of flavour contrast. Very on point. 👌🏻
Personally felt that I could smell the truffle oil... sadly couldn't taste that much when it was being tasted.
Gave this a second try but still msg loaded as I'm allergic to msg this has to go off from my list :/
Staff are very prompt and helpful! Drinks are affordable and so are the menu items! Will be back again!
Everything on the menu was done right, owner himself is super friendly and outgoing. Drinks are affordable during happy hour! It was really awesome, will definitely be back
Disagreeing with the reviews as the salmon portion is really small! Taste wise, pretty average too. For 9.90 there are other better options around 100AM too.
I cannot stress how yummy these bowls are. Had them since schooling days, when it wasn't that popular or "famous". That's a good 8-10years ago. And fast forward, the hungry office zombies on the loose during lunch time is insane.
The Thai tom yum base, packed so much punch that you will salivate before the broth touches your lips. You can smell the sour notes of the soup, wetting your already crazy appetite. The normal soup base, is clean and porky great for someone who don't do spices. Let me not get started on the crazily sinful deep fried eggs. Beaten and pour into a wok of oil, this crispy babies added more flavour to the soup! Generous portion of both noodles and ingredients the bowl is good for the hungry lunch crowd, and do take note of the impending crazy queues. Go before or after, to avoid the lack of seating space or crowd.
