Good porridge but wouldn't queue too much for this Finally tried this extremely famous porridge stall, with queues reaching up to an hour. Equipped with number systems and people willing to sit outside in the heat for an hour, they got to be doing something right. I had the Pork Organ Porridge ($6) and indeed it was quality porridge. It was flavourful and filled with loads of ingredients such as pork liver, pork intestines and cuttlefish. The liver was fresh and not overcooked, and the intestines were surprisingly not smelly at all. Pork balls and slices of lean meat were tender! Add in a dough fritter ($1.20), and you got yourself a complete porridge experience! It was definitely a good porridge, but I feel like I wouldn't queue for more than 15 minutes for this. I think a 1 hour wait is really quite far-fetched for a porridge 😂

Porridge Throwback post - Thick and flavorful, amazing consistency 😍😍😍 Not sure if it is only for delivery or this has become a staple, it comes with a small packet of fried youtiao which feel more like biscuits than the usual doughy and fluffy version. Having mixed it with the congee, the slightly softened crisp youtiao provide different texture. However, I cannot help but notice the used fryer oil (臭油味) aftertaste. Better off not adding it 😅😅😅 💜 Support Sin Heng Kee Porridge at 685 Hougang Street 61, #01-150, Singapore 530685

Signature Porridge ($6.50) Comes with century egg, meatballs, intestines, cuttlefish, fish, chicken, liver and pork slices. The porridge was filled with unami. Really the best i have tried. The pork slices also very tender. The only thing i dont like was the you tiao which you had to add on for $1.20. The you tiao was quite doughy.

Great pizza Prawn and chilli oil @ $26.50 Pizza crust is thin and has a very nice chewy texture. This flavour is nice but there isnt too much of chilli oil taste which is a little bit disappointing. Very nice and the place is a chill cafe at a HDB void deck, will go back again to try other flavours and the pasta as the menu is quite extensive.

Great pizza Ham and mushroom @ $23.50 Pizza crust is thin and has a very nice chewy texture, this flavour is good too. Very nice and the place is a chill cafe at a HDB void deck, will go back again to try other flavours and the pasta as the menu is quite extensive.

4/5 Preserve Lemon Chicken Saffron 4/5 Margherita Pizza 3/5

Fish & Chips $36 beer battered red snapper, tartar sauce, triple cooked chips (served with a side of leafy greens)

Chicken Liver Eclair, Date, Madeira My recent payday splurge meal at FOOL was nothing short of amazing. A stellar two-bite snack, the Chicken Liver Eclair, Date, Madeira ($16/ 2 halves) came highly recommended. Jam-packed with flavour, it was sweet (kinda caramel-like), a tad smokey, savoury, and slightly funky. The delicate offal-y taste of the creamy chicken liver mousse was distinct but not off-putting at all and was wonderfully balanced with the sweetness of the dates.

Westholme Wagyu Hanging Tender In the mood for beef, I went straight for their Westholme Wagyu Hanging Tender ($58/ 150g) which came with a side of piping hot potato scallops, leafy greens, and a saucer of fermented soy. The cut was incredibly tender (as the name suggests) but what really took the cake was the rich, decadent flavour it possessed. There was an intense yet comforting ‘beefiness’ to it which didn’t feel gamey or cloying. Prepared to a beautiful medium rare pink, the very juicy cut also had a bit of a chew - making it that much more enjoyable. And to amp up the flavour profile, the fermented soy offered a brilliant umami hit with a heady soy aroma. The deep-fried potato scallops were bangin’ too. Nicely seasoned, the battered potatoes were crisp-crunchy on the outside, soft, and almost fluffy on the inside.

Salmon Mentai Don. salmon pieces were plenty and sauce was generous too. loved it, rate 9/10 good ambience and vibes for evening drinks too

another yummy find! if you're looking for decent japanese food in chinatown! we had the truffle chirashi don ($22) and aburi salmon don ($20). the truffle flavour was v present but not overpowering. portions of fish were decent & pretty fresh. the aburi salmon had yummy mentaiko that made the dish tasty. after 1 for 1 and ++, we paid about $28. recommend! 👍🏻

Great value for money chirashi don! Nomiya Izakaya @nomiyasg offers several dons and small bites, and they are all of great quality! The Truffle Chirashi Don ($20 1 for 1 with #burpplebeyond ) came in a rather large portion, and they were very generous with the sashimi quantity too! The Chirashi don came with pieces of salmon, tuna, hamachi (I think) and they were all so fresh 😍 the rice was fantastic as well, as it had the right amount of vinegar and truffle oil without making it too surfeiting. The wasabi is also the freshly grated version. At its price point even without burpple beyond, it's definitely worth it. The portion of Brussells Sprouts ($8.90) may be small, but each piece was packed full of flavour. The pieces were very well charred, as the smoky aroma was very strong without being bitter. The kombu butter used gave so much richness and fragrance that it was too addictive! Wished that they gave more 🥹 Now this is one izakaya that I will be back again and again!

Chef’s Table Experience I had an amazing dinner at Cenzo, an Australian and Italian restaurant and bar. We opted for the Chef’s Table Experience ($88 per pax) which consists of 7 curated dishes for sharing: ✨Tigelle Pistachio and parma ham served on a fluffy bread. This is nutty, savoury and sweet. ✨Spanner Crab Salad The crabmeat, picked cucumber and apples make a tangy and refreshing appetiser. ✨Seared Scallop The plump scallops are seared to perfection and they go really well with the charred cauliflower and crispy ham. ✨Iberico Pork Belly The braised pork belly is very soft and the tangy salad helps to balance out the savouriness. This is meant to be eaten as a wrap - reminds me of Peking duck! ✨ Casarecce Zozzona The scroll-like pasta is chewy and thoroughly coated in the creamy tomato sauce. The guanciale (salt cured pork) and cheese add much flavour to the pasta - love it! ✨ Australian Grass Fed Rib Eye This is the star of the night! The medium rare steak is juicy and flavourful and it goes so well with the burnt onion sauce. The piping hot beef fat potato is crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and packed with flavour. The portion is really generous too😍 So satisfying! ✨ Drew’s Tiramisu The coffee, mascarpone and chocolate complement one another perfectly - glad that this is not too sweet! What a night - the food and service are wonderful, and the portion is generous. Worth every penny!

Cannoli 5++ (complimentary as apology) Because they didn't write the alcohol thing on the menu, which is a nice gesture I only had the lemon zest ricotta inside, which is decent but nothing special. Since I don't have cannoli at all idk what's normal, but as a filling I felt it's abit dry and abit too dense.

Drew's tiramisu 16++ There's alcohol despite the menu's wording!!! A decent version, nothing special so very overpriced

Where Yakitori Is An Art. Watching Chef-owner @chaijeffery1109 at work is captivating as he moves smoothly with an easy confident precision. And each skewered item that comes off his Wakayama Kishu Binchotan grill is so breathtakingly perfect, every first bite will leave you gasping in wonder. Before I go on, I should mention that reservations at @kaiyakitorisg are impossible to secure unless you know a regular customer who decides to invite you along (so yes, I owe Christopher @eechong and @cordeliahan a huge thank you for giving @huatkaliao and I their spare 2-pax slot). Ordering alcohol is a must here and even though I can’t drink much, I have to admit Yakitori and alcohol is a match made in gastronomic heaven. We shared a wonderful bottle of Sake but I was told they do super legit Highballs too, so those are on my wishlist now. As this was our first ever visit, I did go a bit mad with the ordering (and this was on top of the items Christopher had already chosen for us). So for the record, here’s a recap of what stretched our bellies: 1. Steamed Japanese Pumpkin - The complimentary appetiser warmed our bellies nicely with its gently sweet softness. 2. Seasonal Vegetable - Because I can never get enough of corn, it was imperative for us to have the Yellow and White Corn. No regrets - they were ridiculously juicy and sweet. 3. Japanese Tofu - Lightly grilled, the slightly firm beancurd was a lovely nibble. 4. Avocado and Smoked Chicken with Baguette ($12) - This left my jaw on the floor. I couldn’t and still can’t, fathom how much smokiness and flavour existed in the unassuming pale green mess. 5. Soriresu or Chicken Oyster ($6.50) - We each had one of the pair of oyster-shaped dark meat flanking the backbone of the chicken. Sensuously smooth, tender and oh-so-juicy, Chef Jeffrey’s grilling ensured the skin was unbelievably crisp as well. We were amply rewarded when we followed the instructions to pop the whole thing into our mouths to maximise the pleasure. 6. Chicken Thigh and Scallions - I’ve never eaten this yakitori elsewhere that can rival the exquisiteness of theirs. 7. Wings - Plump and golden-brown, the crispy-skinned mid-joints had me craving for seconds but I held back, knowing even more exciting stuff was coming. 8. Hearts - These were hands-down, the juiciest and most tenderly cooked of the chicken’s organ I’ve ever eaten. 9. Bonjiri (Tails) - How a piece of springy flesh where a chicken’s tail-feathers spring from can become so fantastically delicious in Chef @chaijeffery1109’s hands is beyond me. I fell truly, madly, deeply in love and had to get a second round later. 10. Japanese Zucchini - I do adore grilled vegetables and this turned out stellar. 11. Cherry Tomatoes - The trio gushed under the lightest pressure. Exactly how I love my tomatoes. 12. Eringi - Smoky and meaty, the King Oyster Mushrooms were yums. 13. Quail’s Eggs ($6.50) - Lava-like, these piping hot babies were luscious in the middle. 14. Tsukune - Theirs is a looser-packed but highly textural giant meatball which is so pure in tastiness, it doesn’t need the usual side of egg yolk for dipping. 15. Kawa (Skin) - Chef Roy did a little trick of fanning the skewers after they were grilled. It’s suppose to help the remaining oil and moisture to evaporate, and thus, dry the pieces of skin more and render them extra crispy. I can vouch for the effectiveness. 16. Ramen Awase ($10) - My closing carb was a special bowl of noodles in a white chicken soup so decadently rich, it left my lips sticky. I loved it with a smidgen of yuzu kosho mixed in. Christopher’s Oyako Don looked really mouthwatering too - I’ll have to get that on my next visit. 17. Sasami (Chicken Fillet) - Chef-owner Jeffrey grilled the meat until they were only about 30% cooked, so the pretty pink chunks were velvety soft and yielding. Remarkable! I am sure besides Chef Jeffery’s expert technique and experience, the very expensive Japanese Binchotan he uses at Kai Yakitori contributes significantly to the superior quality and taste of the food. When I examined it closely, it felt very clean to the touch (no reside was left anywhere) and had a metallic sound when I hit one piece against another. Thank you so much again for spoiling us with your elevated art of Yakitori, Chef. This is a dinner I will be raving about for a long time to come.

Oyako Don Incredibly hard to book yakitori joint. There’s only counter seats so not that conducive for bigger groups unless you book the entire place 😆 (didn’t really count but think there’s like 12 seats) I like their oyako don, egg is done perfectly runny. Their chicken soup is a good order to start before their sticks of well grilled arrived.

Oyako Don $10 Rice bowl with chicken and eggs Delicious... best dish of the meal.

Roast Irish Duck Super succulent and moist, the Roast Irish Duck ($22/ Quarter) was another hit. A tad fatty and heavy but the glistening skin had that lovely crackling crispiness. One to share among 3 to 4 people, the protein was really well-executed. Would go great with a steaming bowl of rice.

Wagyu Truffle Beef Hor Fun In the mood for fancy hor fun, The Dragon Chamber’s Wagyu Truffle Beef Hor Fun ($32) ticked all the right boxes for me. Doused in a copious amount of rich truffle gravy; the slurpy noodles were so moreish. The wok fried flat noodles, crispy deep-fried hor fun strips, silky poached egg and slices of premium US Wagyu short rib came together nicely offering a myriad of fun textures. Though the sauce could definitely be more earthy and “truffle-y”, the hot savoury mix was flavourful without being cloying. The beef was tender too and seasoned well.

Wagyu Truffle Beef Hor Fun (S) | $32 Flat noodles wok fried served in a bowl with short rib and a poached egg was brought to the table, before the staff poured piping hot truffle gravy into it and mixed everything up for me before my eyes. Upon serving I was already wowed by the aroma, and with everything mixed up together as it should be, the flavours all worked out very well. Loved how the truffle gave that extra kick, and how the shortrib was decently tender. But what I really enjoyed was the deep fried hor fun strips which was a fun addition to the dish, with a nice crunch that blended with all the savouriness. Rate:🌟🌟🌟🌟

Hanging Tender (180grams) $27++ With quite some liberty to live to eat on the weekends recently - it feels like we are on a “streak” to clock different les amis food group concept #1 First a dinner date with mum at KOAL that I’ve bookmarked for awhile and the food does not disappoint. The 2 mains we had were starkly a hit and a miss. The tiger prawns was the former, 2 succulent ones to be exact in white wine butter sauce that were so easy to polish we wished there was more. Then the latter cut of steak we got was decent but forgettable, probably the blame on us for getting the “cheapest” cut. I’d love to return to try other plates, and KOAL is another good place for different occasions that doesn’t exactly break the bank.

Melitzanosalata Agioritiki I'm back at this excellent place. In addition to our hummus, we tried this eggplant spread with red pepper and garlic. Not bad!

Crab cake eggs Benedict The crab cake was quite well done with decent chunks of crab meat. Portion was a little small but made up by the quality of the food.

Black Sesame Tart ($7) I just come for this dessert tbh. But then the taste like a bit weird tbh and I literally turned off by matcha and black sesame combination. :") after a few tries.

Tiramisu ($8) My friend order their tiramisu and taste not that bad.
