Asian Food!

The best ramen I've had so far outside of Japan... I will have the non spicy flavour next time because the pepper started becoming a little too much near the end of the bowl - I really wanted to drink the soup! Come here with an empty stomach, otherwise it will seem too heavy.

Mooi chin serves hainanese food as well as other western dishes. It's an old fashioned hotel restaurant setting, with surprisingly good food! Don't be fooled by the lack of diners in the restaurant - it's definitely worth a visit! (the restaurant is 80 years old!) The highlight for me was the Fried Chicken with Soya Bean Sauce, which was crunchy but not too salty/sweet with the dark soya sauce. Come here if you're in Bugis and are looking for a quieter place to eat with no queue! (Price: ~$50 for 3 pax)

Aptly named "Biang Biang" noodles (presumably after the sound of hitting the strip of noodle against the table), this dish was super yummy! It came with a small dish of meat sauce which I decided to pour into the bowl and mix it together with the noodle, and was slightly spicy due to the chili that was already mixed with the noodles. The noodle was chewy and thick, and last but not least the egg was soft boiled, with the yolk still slightly soft and runny. I would also recommend the pan fried dumplings and the noodles with onion oil and pan-fried shredded duck. Super appetizing and definitely affordable for a restaurant on Orchard road ($33 for 2 pax - 3 dishes + drinks). Don't forget to check out their deal on pickatSG!

The sweet and sour fish at 黑社會 was delicious! There were chopped melons instead of the usual pineapple as garnishes, and there was not an overwhelming amount of red and green peppers as is normally found in sweet and sour dishes. The fish is deep fried with batter but is not too oily. Last but not least, if you visit this restaurant on sun-thurs after 5:30 pm, they have a menu featuring dishes that cost only s$8.80 (including this dish!)
