While I still prefer their mentaiyaki dumplings, these juicy pork dumplings with oozing melted cheese was so good too. Get both if you can! šŸ˜

Love the Asian inspired fusion rice bowls here. The rice bowl is packed with flavourful garlic and Chili chicken, caramelised onion, toasted cashew, grilled shimeji mushrooms, roasted cherry tomatoes and soft centered egg. I'm usually not such a big fan of rice but I actually finished the whole bowl! The chicken could have been slightly spicier (given the name), but otherwise a very satisfying rice bowl!

It's always great to have new food joints near the office! The woodfire thin-crust pizzas are great for sharing with colleagues, especially with the XXL pizza (good to share with 4 - 6 persons). You can also choose half and half of 2 different pizzas. We tried the Quartro Formaggi, Diavolo (Pepperoni), Prosciutto & Funghi, and Salmone, which were all very yummy and generous with toppings.

One of their specialty dish is Jya Jya Men - thick noodles with special miso and minced meat. They also have an interesting way of eating it - first on its own and then adding an egg and as well broth. Portion is small but just nice to be paired with their yummy gyozas.

If you're a big fan of mentaiko like me, this is AMAZEballs! You can never go wrong with aburi mentaiko; paired with the juicy pan-fried dumplings, I just couldn't get enough of it! Also available in other variations as well!

So happy to have found a new lunch place at Buona Vista area! Tried their Dos Amigos (grilled eel, cream cheese, and avocado) and Caterpillar (crab meat, cucumber, avocado) from their Signature Rolls and Crispy Shrimp (Skinny Roll) and they were all good! Especially love the Skinny Roll options for those who are watching their weight and would like less carbs! Would definitely be back to try other items in their menu.

I'm not usually a fan of hokkien mee, but this pot of goodness is awesome! Noodles fried in thick, flavorful seafood gravy and topped with crispy roasted pork and pork lard, it's one of the better ones I've tried. $10 portion is good for 3, 2 if you're really hungry; they're also pretty generous with the prawns and roasted pork!

Despite reading a lot of reviews about Koh Grill & Sushi Bar and it's conveniently located in Orchard, it was only recently that I tried it out. What have I been missing out all these while! Prices are very affordable for the food, we ordered 2 maki rolls, salmon, salmon belly, and scallop sashimi with total damage of $60+. The sashimi were generously thick and fresh, especially love the scallop sashimi. Do try the highly raved Shiok Maki, it was definitely highlight of our meal!

It has been quite some time since I last came here for lunch, and a pleasant surprise with the changes in their menu. Ordered their special of the day, creamy mushroom pasta with prawn kebab. Taste wise the pasta was not too bad as it was not too creamy and the mushroom flavor was just right, however, the dish was slightly too oily. The prawn kebab was fresh and juicy, it deserves its own pasta dish instead of the mismatch with the mushroom pasta.

Back for the 2nd time at Lee Fun Nam Kee for their soy sauce chicken. This time around we were earlier and managed to have their noodles and ngo xiang as well. The noodles were springy and tastes good as it is or with the soy sauce chicken. What I really enjoyed was the ngo xiang which had a very crispy bean curd skin and juicy stuffed minced meat and prawn. Though it was slightly crumbly as the meat did not hold well together, the burst of texture and flavor was just delicious! This place is definitely one of the hidden gems in Toa Payoh I would say.

While most food courts and hawker centers serve pretty decent bowl of fish noodle, a good one that stands out is hard to find. I tried the Novena Fish Noodle awhile back when I was working in that area and liked it a lot. They have recently moved to Toa Payoh, we decided to venture there for fish noodles. The soup was as good as I remembered (prefer the fried fish to sliced fish), flavorful and not at all bland or tastes like soup stock. It's a pity that they moved out from Novena and now located among HDB residential area and is less accessible but if you're around the area or don't mind traveling a bit, it's highly recommended!

I guess I was too quick to judge this place based on my first visit here, but I was pleasantly surprised by some of the dishes, the past few times I was here. The wagyu beef pot pie is a new addition to their menu. The beef was tender and flavorful with thick creamy stew sauce, while the potato mash was smooth and fluffy. I enjoyed the dish very much, and the pot pie itself would have suffice without the brioche bread at the side.
