The otah is fragrant with a soft, almost creamy texture that pairs well with the mee siam. A generous dollop of sambal ties everything together, adding just the right amount of heat. While the flavours hit the mark, a bigger portion of otah would have made the balance even better. Still, it’s a comforting and satisfying meal 》RM12.90

This is a bold fusion that delivers on both flavour and texture. The tangy, slightly spicy mee siam is brightened with a squeeze of calamansi, while the crispy, golden-brown chicken chop adds a satisfying crunch. A fried egg, cucumber slices, and sambal complete the dish, making it a comforting twist on tradition 》RM15.90

This bowl of laksa is rich and comforting, but don’t expect the usual SG-style broth. This one brings its own character — creamy yet distinct, packing a different balance of flavours. The bee hoon soaks up the fragrant broth perfectly, while toppings like crispy fried beancurd skin, tau pok bursting with flavour, springy fish cake, and a perfectly boiled egg round out the dish. It’s a satisfying twist on a classic that is worth trying 》RM13. 90

Dropped by for a super satisfying lunch! Love how we can build our own bowl with fresh, house-made ingredients.

Went with a mix of favourites — plump herh keow (fish dumpling), stuffed beancurd, bitter gourd, chilli, scallops, fishballs, yee wat (fish paste) and some fresh greens. The broth was light yet flavourful, with crispy seaweed adding that extra bit of texture.

For noodles, we had mee tai mak and carb-free fish noodles, both well-coated in savoury dark sauce. The mee tai mak had a nice chew, while the fish noodles were smooth, bouncy, and a rare find. Also grabbed the fried fish cake with sweet chilli dip on the side — simple but seriously addictive.

A solid spot for a comforting, fuss-free meal. Will definitely be back to mix and match more combos!

The pork and chicken satay have a nice smoky char, and while the marinade is decent, they don’t quite steal the show.

The peanut sauce helps round things out, delivering a rich, nutty kick that pairs well with the tender meat. Not mind-blowing, but good enough for a casual satay fix 》RM1.50 / Piece

📍Tampoi Satay

This had all the right ingredients — chicken, Chinese sausage, dark soy sauce, and a bit of salted fish — but it just didn’t hit the claypot sweet spot. Missing that smoky aroma and those crispy, charred rice bits, it felt more like a regular bowl than the slow-cooked, deeply satisfying dish I was hoping for. Decent but not the claypot comfort I was craving 》RM12 / Small

📍吴記腊味瓦煲雞飯

The Osmanthus Matcha Latte was an unexpected delight. Its floral-earthy fusion refreshes rather than overwhelms. The subtle osmanthus aroma pairs beautifully with the smooth, grounded matcha. Not too sweet, super refreshing and perfectly balanced. Would definitely get this again 》RM16

The tamago is delicately crisp on the outside, tender inside, and infused with dashi for subtle flavour. A layer of torched mentaiko adds smoky depth and a salty edge, balanced by soft, fluffy white bread. It’s a simple combination done right. Don’t leave without trying this coz it’s well worth the wait 》RM20

A soothing and elegantly balanced dish that brings together the richness of baked salmon and the earthy depth of matcha-infused dashi broth.

The salmon is moist, flavourful and not overpowering. The matcha dashi lends a subtle herbal complexity, offering a refined counterpoint to the gentle sweetness of the onigiri-style rice.

It’s a comforting, well-executed bowl that satisfies, though it doesn’t quite cross into memorable territory. Worth a casual revisit but not something I’d queue long for 》RM30

Fa Ge Lok Lok offers a no-frills lok lok experience with prices starting from RM1.50 per stick. Many visitors, like myself, find their way here thanks to the popular beancurd next door. While the selection of food and sauces is somewhat limited and might not stand out as the best lok lok around, it's still a convenient spot to grab a quick bite. I wouldn’t go out of my way for it, but for the price and convenience, I wouldn’t mind coming back again.

Yamada Beancurd is a go-to spot if you’re craving a comforting dessert at night, served from a food truck.

They offer beancurd in both original and pandan flavors, paired with your choice of white or brown sugar (Gula Melaka) syrup. I went for the Set C, which came with a delightful mix of toppings like taro balls, peach gum, and brown sugar pearls that’s freshly cooked on the spot. The pandan beancurd (available only on Friday and Saturday) is another must-try. I got it separately and it was silky, smooth, and subtly sweet. Their cold soya milk is pretty refreshing too.

Heads up, the queue here can get really long, but honestly, it’s worth the wait.

Toast over here are served in two variations, wholemeal or white bread and here’s what I thought of each.

This wholemeal version is a great option if you’re seeking for a fiber-rich alternative. However, the wholemeal toast diminishes the crispiness as compared to the usual white toast. The kaya was generous and had a rich, fragrant sweetness that compliments the butter, adding a creamy richness that rounds out every bite.

In contrast, the white crispy peanut kaya butter toast unapologetically embraces its decadence. The white bread toasts up to a golden perfection, delivering a delightful crunch that resonates with every bite. This crispness forms the perfect canvas for the kaya and salted peanut combination, blending textures in a way that’s immensely satisfying.

I'm in a relationship with food. Why can't we just declare our never ending love and vows towards some food item? I'm sure that would not result in divorces.
