Beef Noodle They used to be featured on Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand previously, before taken down from the list. While you may just go with the simple sliced beef, I would recommend to go with the different part of the meat as well; such as liver and intestine.

Soup all toppings 8nett portion Tbh didn't feel like there's too much diff between 8 and 10, maybe more beef slices but no difference in eating experience The soup was pretty good on its own when we had it in a small bowl, but the soup noodles were mild, not very sure why

All toppings 10nett (8nett avail as well) The sauce was light and very sticky, there's a complex undertone but too mild to matter. Overall quite okay, nothing too special. Chili was alright We quite liked the small bowl of soup

Meesiam big portion 3.5nett The broth is quite unique, very peanutty but still texture isn't too thick. The vermicelli was nice Their sambal is unique too, it's quite different from what I tot from when I had it in laksa, it's actually somewhat sticky and there isn't too much umami, more like spices. Hard to explain but it works, esp w the laksa which alr has umami in the broth

Laksa Large 4nett Realised I've never reviewed the laksa here Not sure if it's been too long since I haven't had it, but it's even better than I rmbed? The soup has a sweetness, depth of flavour, and not too thin. Mix in the sweet sambal for even more umami and spice. Absolutely stunning, not to mention the stellar rice noodles.

Nice Laksa with Good Portion Size Laksa is one of my favorite comfort food. The laksa here has a nice gravy that's fragrant and not too spicy, which really hits the spot for me. Plus the noodles were not cut short, so you can get the hearty mouthfuls of noodles with gravy, which is really shiok! The shop is generous with hum (cockles). Even though I asked for less hum, the amount I got was still more than what I usually get from other shops, so if you love hum with your laksa, this is the place for you! For $3.50, it's worth the money and calories!

Laksa (SGD $7) @ Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa. Founded by chef-owner Daniel Soo in 2000, this stall is named in tribute to the famous laksa hawkers of old who used to frequent that specific street in their trishaws. . Their signature broth is actually less spicy and less rich than elsewhere, as they use less coconut milk and chili in preparation. . Instead, there is a greater sweet savoury flavour from the use of premium ingredients simmered for over 2 hours to create their broth, including dried shrimp, fresh sea prawns, dried scallops, dried oysters, and other spices. . There's silky smooth thick rice vermicelli noodles with grainy sweet notes, springy fish cake with sweet savoury flavour, crisp bean sprouts with vegetal sweet flavour, spongy tofu puffs with grainy sweet spicy flavour, and laksa leaves. . Also crunchy deshelled prawns with sweet savoury flavour, and juicy blood cockles with mineral briny salty flavour. . Add the chunky sambal belachan if you wish for a greater savoury salty spicy kick. . . . Laksa Famous Sungei Road Trishaw Laksa @ Hong Lim Market & Food Centre, 531A Upper Cross Street #02-67 .

Mee Siam 5nett This was literally the last bowl before the stall closed so lucky me but at the same time I can't be sure it's the normal portion. Nonetheless, it's absolutely delicious and ingenious. Mee Siam is sweet and sour, thus it makes perfect sense to add the sweetness and sourness of the fruits to it, which leveraging their aroma. It's very harmonious and not weird at all. Slurp worthy but I'm not a fan of sour food so I don't recommend adding the lime. Their chili is strongly tangy too, not very spicy.

Still had to satisfy our laksa craving despite the haze! One of our go to stalls at Hong Lim for laksa other than BCM or CKT. Masks on everyone!

Bak Chor Mee (SGD $5) @ MacPherson Minced Meat Noodle. Helmed by Yap Lye Hock since 2009, the stall itself has shifted locations at least 4 times over the years, sometimes remaining closed for up to 1 year, before restarting in a different location. . Since he announced his original retirement in 2016, his 2 disciples stepped up and now each helm their own stalls, though "Uncle Yap" eventually made his own sporadic return (these days he alternates between working and retirement). . Of note is their soup, made by stewing a combination of pork bones, chicken bones, anchovies, and soy beans, resulting in a lovely warm sweet savoury flavour. . The pork slices and minced pork are tender with meaty sweet savoury flavour, the fish cake slices are bouncy with mild savoury salty flavour, while the soy braised shiitake mushrooms are springy with vegetal salty earthy savoury flavour. . The mee pok / wide flat egg noodles are springy with a light chew, picking up the balanced gravy well, which carries savoury salty spicy sour flavours from the rich black vinegar and chili. . . .

Minced Meat Noodles Al-dente and springy noodles tossed in braised mushroom sauce, topped with generous servings of sliced mushrooms. Both the dry BCM / 小碗面 includes ingredients such as fishcake, liver slices, minced pork and pork slices while the soup version came with a drop of egg too. I preferred the soup version for its very satisfying thick and full-flavoured soup filled with porky goodness with a hint of sweetness. Minced Meat Noodle 》$5 Dish & Noodle (小碗面) 》$7

Minced Meat Noodles ($5) Noodles are springy, vinegar and chilli sauce mix is very well-balanced, pork slices are tender, and the mushrooms add that extra umami punch! The soup that comes with it is also very flavourful! Highly recommended!

Claypot rice Claypot rice Medium-sized, 15.80. As it is cook only after you placed your order, therefore waiting a bit longer is expected. If you're coming aline, you can order a small claypot.

fav san lou bee hoon i loveeeee the san lou beehoon ($10.80 - big) here. generous portion and lots of wokhey!!!!! the chilli is damn good too but might be too spicy for some

Green Dragon Vegetable I usually enjoy this, but this was not a good day. It tasted very green and raw.

Possibly the Last Food I Want to Eat Before I Die Despite moving away from the location of this stall, I can't resist from returning for this particular dish even though the ride cost me more than $20 one way. Go figure. Price has almost doubled since the days when I first started having this dish but there's no stopping me to return for this Green Chilli Chicken Rice. Item no. 1 on the menu for a good reason.

Pineapple Fried Rice Or Prawn Omelette Rice For You? Guess what? They have been offering Thai-Chinese cuisine since 2001 in Woodlands! Absolutely love their food here, as well as their chilli which elevates the flavour profile. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed😉👍

Fried Chilli Chicken Rice with Egg For those who study at Republic Polytechnic probably familiar with this hidden Thai food stall opposite the campus. A popular Thai food stall have have been going around Woodlands neighbourhood, before settling down here in this coffee shop under HDB. For something worth sweating on, you definitely must try their fried chilli chicken rice with egg.

Absolutely lovely coffee If you are looking for solid coffee in an aesthetic environment, look no further as @alchemist.sg had done it right. They have repurposed the old Khong Guan factory as their cafe, giving it a good mix of both retro and modern vibes! I ordered the Iced Latte ($7) and it was such an enjoyable cup. It was not too acidic, yet strong enough with deep hazelnut and chocolate notes. It had the perfect amount of milk for the strength of coffee. I loved that it was smooth and rich, perfectly for a long sip throughout the afternoon. If I'm around the area, I'm definitely coming back to Alchemist for a good coffee break!

Chocolate Hazelnut Danish Gotten this pastry to go with my cup of mocha. And I must say the chocolate is definitely very creamy and sticky. Fluffy danish with messy chocolate and hazelnut on the top. Just love the combination of flavour and texture.

Mocha Housed under the heritage industrial building at Tai Seng, surprisingly a very peaceful vibe on Sunday morning. Here for a cup of warm mocha to begin my day.

Secret rooftop garden cafe 🔸 Iced Chocolate SGD6.5 This was one of the first cafes that I visited when I first arrived in Singapore a month ago ☕️ I was in the buzzing Orchard area searching for a quiet place to work and randomly came across a nearby branch of @alchemist.sg on Google Maps 🗺️ Tucked away on the rooftop garden of @shopdesignorchard where you can watch the world go by, the botanical cafe offers a limited menu of coffee and pastries 🌿 There were quite a lot of people popping in and out when I came on a weekday afternoon, but the minimalist space did not feel packed with each table placed quite far apart 🌱 I got myself a cup of iced chocolate, the only non-caffeine drink on the menu, and enjoyed the milky sweetness that covered the natural cocoa bitterness that I dread 🍫 In terms of work-friendliness, there is no limited dining time and the easy-going employees even proactively poured me a cup of water every now and then 😇 The only snag was that there was no free Wi-Fi in the cafe or nearby… ✨ 𝙁𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 @𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚.𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨.𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬𝙨 📍 Alchemist Design Orchard 250 Orchard Rd, #03-01, Singapore, 238905 (Somerset MRT exit C)

Gelato & Waffle Location: 3/5 Under the neighborhood so it was slighty hard to find. Gelato & Waffle: 5/5 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼 𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗲𝘁, 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝗼𝘀 ($6) Both the gelato was great, mango sorbet was flavourful while the spectaculoos was creamy and thick. Portion of the gelato was also very generous. 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗪𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗹𝗲 ($4) Waffle was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Very flavourful waffle as well, doesn’t even require any syrup or sauce. Overall: Would definitely return Affordable gelato & waffle but unfortunately they have stop operations.

Overall G Sourdough waffles was v filling and the ice cream were flavourful! Highly recommend the blue pea lavender sea salt flavour especially if you love lavender!

Waffles With Ice Cream Used the burpple 1-for-1 for waffle and single scoop gelato. Waffle came in a large portion. Pistachio ice cream flavour is not so strong but we love the blue-pea sea salt lavender ice cream!!

Sticky Cinnamon Bun ($2.50) “Ugly Delicious” - ugly photo, of which I take full blame of but delicious sticky cinnamon bun. In fact this is (IMHO) the best cinnamon bun in Singapore because it’s simple (no cream cheese fan fare needed) yet so gratifying 🥹 Fresh soft white bun with just enough sticky cinnamon syrup ✨

Go-to breakfast place! Good sandwiches, breakfast plates and cinnamon buns.

7/10 Nothing much to shout about here but what I do like about this bakery/cafe is that they offer more affordable options compared to the other cafes in the vicinity. Coffee and pastries are decent! The ambience is lovely. Decor is simple and straightforward, there’s tons of natural lighting and it always puts me in a cheery Sunday brunch mood :~) Will return if I’m in the area!
