Quite a brisk queue during lunch.
Home style cooked vegetarian for choices.
Will definitely go visit whenever nearby.

Tender chicken, potatoes, carrots and red chillies all simmered in a savoury soy-based gravy in a claypot. The sauce had that comforting balance of salty-sweet with a gentle herbal depth, perfect for spooning over fluffy white rice. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the chillies gave just enough heat to keep things lively. Everything’s well-cooked and soaked in flavour, though it leans more homestyle than punchy 》$7.80 + $1 Rice

Tried the preserved radish (菜脯) steamed golden Pomfret and bean sauce steamed sea bass. The pomfret came as a half fish but still generous. It’s flaky, fresh and topped with savoury cai pu that added crunch. Light soy base, not too salty, just clean and comforting.

The sea bass had a deeper, punchier bean sauce that clung nicely to the tender flesh. Topped up $1.50 for the tail and it was worth it for more meat. Fish was fresh, no muddy taste and steamed just right.

Each set comes with rice and a side. I went with beansprouts and steamed egg. Other choices includes baby kailan or cai pu beancurd if you’re feeling veggie.

Other than their yummy Lontong and budget-friendly hearty Mee Soto, the Nasi Lemak Set is quite decent too. I had Set B, which comes with fragrant light-green coconut rice carrying a hint of pandan flavour, topped with a greasy fried egg, flavourful chicken wing, fried fish fillet, ikan bilis, peanuts, cucumber, and sambal.

The rice was semi-moist and slightly sticky, yet still soft and fluffy with a distinct lemak taste. Best enjoyed together with the spicy sambal mixed with onion and ikan bilis for maximum shiokness. The chicken wing had a slight crisp outer, probably left on the counter for a while, but the meat inside remained succulent. Ikan bilis and peanuts were really crunchy, while the fish fillet leaned chewy.

From the YTF stall.
Great value for a quick lunch.

I gave this stall a chance and, like the shaola, the portion wowed me. The plate is stuffed. The cutlet was juicy and crispy. Though the pasta and salad were slightly poor, that's okay because portion matters!

From the Japanese stall. Average lah. The cutlet had to lead the way but was underwhelming.

Excited by this, but not great. Normal nia.

Breakfast from the same spot where I had lontong last time. Tried their Mee Soto this round. Bowl came packed with mee kuning, shredded chicken, hard-boiled egg, beansprouts, shallot, parsley, and sambal in hearty chicken soup.

Yellow noodles didn’t have that strong alkaline taste, which is good. Soup was savoury and comforting, and the chicken soaked up the flavour nicely. Sambal gave the morning spicy kick I needed to wake up well. Slurp! A good budget meal to have.

Established in May 2022, this stall attracts a queue throughout the day for their well-executed plates of fried noodles.
.
Their version is smoky with wok hei / breath of the wok, with long cylindrical yellow egg noodles and thin bee hoon / rice vermicelli noodles tossed with chicken egg, a stock of pork bones and prawn shells, and crunchy pork lard. Garnished with deshelled prawns, sotong / squid, pork belly slices, bean sprouts, and spring onions.
.
Has a slippery silky chewy crunchy bouncy tender texture with smoky grainy eggy sweet savoury salty vegetal herbal flavour. A splash of lime juice lends zesty sour tangy flavour. Best eaten quickly when served hot!.

Breakfast was never the same again ever since this stall opened weeks ago. I had a bowl of Lontong made fresh on the spot by the makcik. For just $4.50, it came loaded with ingredients: carrot, cabbage, hard-boiled egg, rice cake, serundeng, long bean, tau pok, and sambal.

Don’t let that pale-looking curry fool you, the spiciness is real. It made me sweat my head off and cry a tear. Despite the heat, it was really good. Is this what they call suffering from deliciousness? Haha. The curry was quite watery, but the flavour was thick and lemaky, smooth and comforting. The vegetables were stewed till soft and melted easily with each bite. That extra sambal was very spicy, and I think it had onions and ikan bilis in it, which helped elevate the whole dish.

It’s a real yum yum. Who needs a workout when breakfast makes you sweat this much?

($7.50) I felt that their sauce was mild spicy. Bibimbap got a lot of vegtables such as bean sprout, cucumber, carrot, lettuce, chicken and seaweed. Chicken was being stir-fried before putting into bibimbap.
