A main that came with the buffet. I've never loved wanton mee but picked this because the menu said roast duck and roast meat. Where are they? Conversely, the noodle wowed me. It's al dente, no trace of alkaline, and superb seasoning.

Hahaha the archetype of Lai Lai food. A simple dish that's not done properly. Too little curry for the rice, the cardinal sin for curry rice. Meat was okay but small.

I knew Lai Lai is dumb food, so I was surprised this was not bad. Tender, chunky beef, flavourful broth, and the noodles seemed imported from Taiwan.

Teochew stall. Not in a pot because I dabao. Good spices. But oily and slightly boring.

Not a stall I particularly fancy but I was looking for something heavy. Surprised to see they have la mian to add. Quite wonderful tbh. Stir-fried la mian with all the ingredients.

They do giant cookies so it caught my eye. But this flavour is smaller and also very thin. Interesting savoury taste for cookie.

Affordable chain that sells dishes at $5 or $10. The meat was done well.

I had hopes, but no, they're better at carrot cake. It's a generally unacceptable version, from the flavour to the freshness.

Not my first visit. Decent, but not memorable. Still the rather tense and curmudgeonly couple.
