Por Kee Zi Char🍚 Went to Por Kee Eating House last week and ordered their Fried Dice Chicken with Dry Chilli, Sambal Kangkong, Hotplate Tofu, and their Yang Zhou Fried Rice! Total bill was $56 for 2 pax😇 Overall ratings 8/10! Food was good but was a little pricey... would head back again for special family occasions😁

Home-Made Beancurd Por kee is an old school zhi char restaurant located at Tiong Bahru and has been around since the 90s. There were many open air tables for dining, but there's always a worry that it may rain. Thank goodness we managed to get a small table under shelter this time around as it started to drizzle. Their signature most popular food here is their Champagne Pork Ribs, which is a must have here. Their Home-Made Beancurd was the biggest surprise for me here, its 5/5 for me, the best beancurd I ever eaten ever. A must order, once u try it, u will know why its so good. Sambal Kangkong also on point here.

Juicy Wagyu Burger Medium rare beef patty was juicy and the super orange egg yolk was runny! Served on soft broiche buns and crispy thin fries! Very enjoyable, savoury and zesty.

Roasted Kabocha Pumpkin & Spinach Salad Felt like a real white rabbit when eating this. Maybe the sauce wasn’t enough? Everything just felt very raw even if it is a salad.

Pork Stroganoff Pork was extremely tender. Pasta had a nice chew to it too. Could have more sauce though.

The Top Dog $15.90 for quite a filling meal - fries were awesome, but the burger patty was over toasted. Over all a 3/5.

Chef Shen Tan did quite a good revamp to the cafe. Slightly older and off the radar, but worth a visit. http://danielfooddiary.com/2014/12/28/arterial

Not Your Ordinary Hipster Cafe Their Hunter’s Beef Stew features tender braised offal in a tomato base sauce that was homey tasting and a nice accompaniment to the two crusty bread.  Read more: http://www.misstamchiak.com/arterial-cafe-chinatown/

Specialty Dry Mee Sua Mee sua tossed in a mixture of black vinegar and chilli accompanied with minced and sliced pork, braised mushroom, meatball then topped with crispy ikan bills and pork lard. The mee sua is done with a good bite that is neither sticky nor soggy which absorbs the sauce well. I like how generous they are with the minced meat and the braised mushroom was super soft and juicy. I felt the taste of vinegar was a little strong even after requesting less vinegar but the chilli did help to make it better 》$4.50

Late Night Delight One of the (many) thing(s) I miss most about working in the CBD is Yan Kee's dry mee sua. I can have it for lunch, dinner and supper and yet not be sick of it. It is the ultimate comfort food for me and tastes even better after a long stressful day at work. I love slurping up the thin wheat vermicelli. I also love the salty and kick-ass zesty tang of their soy sauce and vinegar based sauce. For me, extra meatballs and ikan bilis are a must because they add adds more flavour and aroma to the dish. Yan Kee's dry mee sua is probably not going to get a Michelin star any time soon but it definitely qualifies as soul food for the ordinary office workers.

Speciality Mee Sua ($4.50) One of our regular lunch spot at Circular Road. Known for their Speciality Mee Sua, each bowl of Bak Chor Mee is generously topped with minced pork, sliced pork, meatball, mushroom and crispy ikan bilis. Strong vinegar taste though it isn’t overpowering, it is one of the comfort food we go for

Prepare yourselves because queues are LONG😵‍💫 and only cash is accepted Once a hawker has mastered a dish, they don’t really need to sell anything else. Every customer can be seen devouring a bowl of 𝐁𝐀𝐊 𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐑 𝐌𝐄𝐄 ($𝟖/𝟏𝟎/𝟏𝟐/𝟏𝟓). I initially thought it was quite pricey, but portions are generoussss🙂‍↕️ The pork liver is also the softest and least pungent I've ever had. Would prefer the chilli to be spicier but I can see why this earned 1 Michelin star!🌟

Tai Hwa Pork Noodle (M)($8) 🌟🍜 Venturing into the world of Michelin-starred noodles, and yes, this is the famous one from Crawford. Slurp into a bowl filled with al dente thin yellow noodles, generously topped with chunky minced pork, succulent sliced pork, pork liver, a tad hard crunchy dried sole fish, two bouncy meatballs, two wantons, and a sprinkle of chopped spring onions. While the noodles are cooked fresh, it seems the ingredients had their prep time earlier. The sauce boasts a well-balanced mixture, heavy on vinegar, with hints of lard oil and chilli heat for that extra kick. The noodles soak up the sauce nicely, though they didn't quite reach the lip-smacking level. As for the soup, it was rich in meaty goodness, with a touch of umami from the seaweed addition, it's definitely a standout. I think it will taste better in soup than the dry version. Honestly, I'm not sure if it's worth enduring an epic queue for this bowl. If you're in a rush, head to their branch at the other end of the same coffeeshop for a quicker fix. . 🚩Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle, Crawford Lane, 466 Crawford Ln, 01-12, Singapore 190466 . . . #mehmehfoodventure #mehlicious #tastisfying #foodie #sgfoodie #sgfoodblogger #foodblogger #foodblog #foodcoma #burpple #burpplesg #sgfood #foodsg #eatmoresg #foodinsing #sgeats #bcm #mincedporknoodles #meekia #taihwaporknoodle #taihwa #大华肉胜面 #肉胜面 #bakchormee

Best bak chor mee in Singapore? You decide. Fans of One Michelin Star, Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle will swear by the al dente noodles coated with the intense black vinegar for the dry version while slurping the deep umami pork broth. At $6, $8 or $10, this is not a cheap bowl of bak chor mee but for the quality and flavour you are getting, I will say it’s worth the price. To me, this is the gold standard that is reserved for special days like this. •••••••••••••••••••• 🍽️ Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle 📍 466 Crawford Lane, Unit 01-12, Singapore 190466

Oyster Festival Back here for buffet again & it's the oyster season till 30 september 2014. Pretty refreshing and amazing to have oysters in many of their usual dishes. Some of it to name; Oyster shabu shabu, Oyster Chawanmushi, fresh oysters doused in different seasonings (the apple one is interesting!) & breaded oyster. The best I felt was the Oyster Shabu Shabu, the oysters made the broth taste sweet, also they are really fresh to boot. Available at NorthPoint, Revenue House & City Square Mall.

Japanese Buffet Recommends the above dishes in the collage if you plan to head to Momiji for buffet (I love the seafood and mini shabu shabu the most) . It cannot be compared to hotel buffets but it is decent enough if you want to fix your buffet craving. Prices varies for lunch and dinner buffet. There is also free flow of Sapporo beer (dinner buffet) for those who wants some alcohol to pair with.

Mango coco 13.4++ add on almond thins +1.9++ THEY ARE CLOSING THIS WEEK The waffles were decent. Mango was way too sour. Coconut ice cream sucks, it's way too cold and lacks flavour Almond thins were brilliant. Super aromatic from the nuts, with a really satisfying crunch. Not sure what the translucent parts are but hey if it's this good I'm not complaining The queue is insane nowadays so please come with a reservation

sunday folks the earl grey lavender waffle was a chef’s kiss… 😍 perfect dessert to end off a hike

red velvet cheesecake waffles ($11.50) as usual, the soft serve was rich in sightly salty cheese flavour!! the little cubes of red velvet cake topped w lemon custard were also a nice topping. would always recommend sunday folks for ice cream, but a little stingy with their waffles, can skip and get cones/cups instead

Wonderful food and atmosphere! [INVITED TASTING] Had such a great feast at @1345mookata and we loved so many of their meats there! All of their dishes were very fresh and their marinated meats were all tender. As a garlic lover, their garlic marinated meats really stole the show for me as the umami flavours from the garlic was strong. They do have a huge variety of marination types, so definitely there is something for everyone. Their soup base isn't too salty either and there wasn't a problem with the soup getting too cloying towards the end. To wash them all down, their Thai milk teas were perfect, as they were rich and aromatic. Loved how the whole area is very well ventilated and I didn't feel too hot and stuffy while eating. The smell from the bbq wasn't strong on my clothes either! Thank you @1345mookata for the food and @eatwithkeat for inviting! If I were to stay in the west, this should be my go-to mookata 😍

Set Platter @1345Mookata | 200 Pandan Gardens #01-12/13. When was the last time you enjoyed a good mookata with your friends and family? Mine was at least 10 years ago! 😲 This set platter at just $35.00, comes with a wide variety of meat including prawns, fish, pork belly, pork, chicken as well as assorted vegetables. We ❤️ the highly recommended a la carte add-ons such as basil 🌿 pork and garlic 🧄 beef! 👍🏻👍🏻 And what better way to celebrate the last day of school term 1 than delicious food coupled with great company @sntaysn @graceteoi @rachelkhoo and friendly service. 😘 #burpple #burpplesg #stfoodtrending #straitstimesfood #sgfood #sgeats #foodsg #wheretoeatsg #whattoeatsg #1345mookata

Mookata Thai BBQ steamboat set ($34.80). Relocating from The Elitist, @1345mookata has finally found a new home at @peopleupsg which is right opposite my parents’ place! You can probably guess how popular they are from the number of tables extending out onto the walkway, despite being forced to move out from their previous location. I don’t usually fancy mookata because of its oiliness especially the use of pork lard and letting it drip into the broth. But the homemade Chiang Mai style broth here is extremely lightly flavored, even with the pork lard dripping. In fact, the broth was tastier with the pork lard and ingredients. The Mookata Thai BBQ steamboat set is highly affordable, and serves 3-4 pax easily with its assortment of prawns, pork, pork belly, chicken, hot dog, crab meat, fish ball, sliced fish, vegetables, enoki mushroom and rice vermicelli. We also had the a la carte garlic pork which comes with heaps of chopped garlic. The robust flavor and aroma was simply addictive, one of the meats that I’d recommend. Don’t miss out on their homemade chili sauce especially the seafood sauce of a spicy punch! There’s also an ongoing promotion of 1-for-1 homemade freshly brewed Thai milk tea & Thai green milk tea. Unanimous vote for their Thai green milk tea which had a delicate jasmine aroma and decent sweetness level. Recommended for group dining.

What a pity that we came slightly late as they have sold out all of their desserts except the Mochi Donut ($12). Fortunately, this happens to be one of our favourites with the crispy exterior, chewy texture of the mochi donut with the earl grey ice cream. A perfect pairing of hot and cold. •••••••••••••••••••• 📍Brotherbird Coffeehouse 32 Bali Lane, Singapore 189868

Review: Stateland Cafe (Part 3/3) Finally knew why the Earl Grey Bursts with Softserve [$15] is highly recommended. The mochi balls are soooooo good. It’s a good pairing between the hot mochi balls and cold softserve. Have chosen cookie butter over taro softserve as recommended by the staff and it doesn’t disappoint! It’s a pity this is the last time I can enjoy this dessert since the cafe is closing down :/

Review: Stateland Cafe (Part 2/3) Wanted to try the Herbal Duck Confit Risotto but was told that the cafe is not serving this dish today BUT somehow saw another diner eating it so uhh.. Anyway, decided to try the Hainanese Chicken Rice Risotto [$19] instead since it is one of the recommended dishes and it is okay lo. A unique fusion but would appreciate if there is more rice 😅
