Golden, crispy perfection on a plate! Mum’s favourite pan-fried omelette with ample oysters that’s gloriously golden on the outside, flavoursome and oh-so-addictive. Palpably, one of the crispiest (and tastiest!) versions around.

($5.90) Ordered add-on Onsen Egg ($0.80) and pork meatball ($0.80) mee hoon kuay got dent, chewy enough like really don't feel hard to chew thru but I felt that their ingredients a bit less for big eater and u can topup with their side dish if u don't feel full.
Strawberry Souffle ($16) - Light and not overly eggy or sweet, the stack of soufflé pancakes was wonderfully fluffy. The cream was airy too and matched nicely with the sweet fresh strawberries and sauce. The popping bobas/toppings offered a fun touch as well with the added textures and flavour.
Slow Weekday Tea Break at Lantine!
[Yay, there was no queue on a late Thursday afternoon]
Rock Tea Roasted Milk Tea ($13.90) - Aromatic and deliciously balanced, the classic concoction came highly recommended and understandably so. And as one that usually orders hot milk tea, I enjoyed that their blend was none too sweet or milky. The signature roasted drink was also smooth and belly-warming.
From the braised selection, there is an option to mix and match any three braised items for $10.80, excluding specific premium options. We opted for the Bai Ye Tofu, the tender Pork Large Intestine and the Taiwanese Tempura. No overwhelming saltiness but better paired with rice as well!
Looking at the rice dishes, the Glutinous Rice with Mushroom and Pork ($8.80) and Braised Pork Rice ($6.80) also came recommended. Faring a little better in my opinion, the latter was a saucy and crowd-pleasing item. Love that there were slightly fattier bits making it super melty and satisfying. The braising liquid was a tad salty but worked nicely with the steaming pearly white grains.
Looking at the rice dishes, the Glutinous Rice with Mushroom and Pork ($8.80) and Braised Pork Rice ($6.80) also came recommended. The former was flavourful, not cloying at all and had a great texture (not too dry) but I wish there were more ingredients in the bowl.
Went a little crazy on the carbs at the Michelin-approved Taiwanese health soup brand, Moon Moon recently.
Starting with one of the restaurant’s signature dishes, I got the Chicken Soup with Clam ($23.80). Hearty, refreshingly light, comforting, subtly sweet and clean-tasting with a pleasant, lingering ginger flavour. It was also packed with a fair amount of chicken chunks, briny clams and crunchy cabbage. However, don’t expect something life-changing as it was just a homey, belly-warming soup which was kinda pricey.
For the choice of noodles, it was a hard decision between the savoury Shallot Oil Noodle ($12.80) and the Spicy Sesame Noodle but we eventually had the former which was not too heavy or rich. Think chewy, springy, slurpy (relatively thick) noodles well-coated in simple yet aromatic seasoning. The sauce wasn’t too oniony, or greasy and was all-in-all nicely balanced with an umami after-taste. (Might be back for the sesame noodle!)
Had the Ginseng Black Chicken Soup, it was so aromatic, rich but not overwhelming, balanced with the right strength of herbal taste, which in my opinion, very suitable for all ages. Chicken tigh was absolutely lovely and tender, fell right off the bones.
Shared with my friend, their popular side dishes, the Jade Toufu and Handmade Prawn Rolls. The tofu, crusty on the surface, while soft and silky on the inside. Furthermore, a layer of minced spinach on top for enhanced taste which I loved it and found it unique. The prawn rolls came with great flavours and texture, not dry and oily like many F&Bs do, instead they were juicy and flavours locked in each bite beautifully.
Unlike many soup outlets where I got thirsty after consuming them which required me to drink plenty of water, for Tan Ser Seng soup, not only I found their soup truly nourishing instead, enjoying it did not make me thirsty at all. In fact, the drink I ordered was not touched until I finished the meal.
The service staffs were friendly, quick to action. Despite a full house on a busy Friday lunch hour, our order came within 10 minutes of ordering. Totally impressive. My friend who was first time there, was so happy with the food and service, that he even tabao back for his mum.
I did a little more research this time round and decided to try this interesting dish recommended by Johorkaki on his blog.
This is essentially a stir-fry dish comprising of Chinese Leek, taro strips, dried shrimp, siu yok and jelly fish. The end result is a delicious dish full of savoury umami and wok hei flavours.
If there is one dish you have to order, this is it. Yes, over the bamboo clams!
Love this upgrade set as it comes with mushrooms and Braised eggs on the side. I love the hand pulled noodles! Chef is skillful to make the noodles thin and chewy, a blend between mee hoon kueh and Knife-cut noodles. Mala version was not too spicy. Pleasantly surprised that it's halal! Delicious!
