Wanna Eat!

Was looking forward to trying this as I was craving for dumplings. The XLB and potstickers were on-point 👌🏼However, the 炸酱面 and 酸辣汤 wasn't. The meat sauce tasted weird with not much taste and the soup was just... Spicy, I had to add my own vinegar that came with the XLB. | XLB $7, 锅贴 $6, soup $2.8, noodles $3.8 |

Back to Thomson to visit Takumi by Sushiro which opens today at the former corner that Sushiro used to have occupied — this concept replicates the success behind Sushiro by offering affordable Gyudon to the masses; prices start at $12.00 for the Tokyo Gyuniku Don, while other items such as Shizuoka Unajyu Don (unagi served atop Japanese rice served in a box) and Chicken Katsu Curry Udon as well as a few others have their place in the menu.

For $12.00 nett, the portion was pretty good considering there is a balance of rice and beef one is getting; the beef all thinly sliced and delightfully tender and juicy without any hard-to-bite and comes lightly savoury without being noticeably gamey. The entire bowl also does not feel dry even after nearing the end of it, and the in between the rice and beef comes a layer of seaweed nori to help give a little more contrast in flavours. As usual, it comes with the onsen egg that is satisfyingly runny — mix it into the entire bowl for a silkier texture. Overall, a pretty comforting Bowl that I wouldn't mind having again; it would be hard to choose between Sushiro's Barachirashi Don and Takumi by Sushiro's Gyunikun Don the next time I decide to eat at Thomson Plaza.

PS: The Mount Gyuniku Don is priced at $22 nett and is essentially the Tokyo Gyuniku Don upsized with more beef; the Tokyo Gyuniku Don and Mount Gyuniku Don is similar in concept as Sushiro's Barachirashi Don and Premium Barachirashi Don; now you know.

Formerly located at the corner coffee shop at Katong. Find it at Blk 57 New Upper Changi Rd. Tasted as good as Hill Street Fried Kway Teow but no long queue. Really happy to find this stall and have my craving satisfied! Do come and support!

From Saigon Jalan, a newly-opened coffeeshop stall at Blk 86 Whampoa Drive which sells Vietnamese fare — currently the menu only consists of Pho Ga (Shredded Kampung Chicken Noodle Soup) and Pho Bo (Australian Beef Noodle Soup); the Pho Bo comes with a choice of Beef Slice or Beef Brisket for the $5 option, or you can opt for both at $6. For the $5 option, there is already plenty of beef slices in the soup — pretty chewy but not gamey; the beef slices are actually placed into the bowl of noodles raw and cooked when the soup is poured into the bowl itself. The soup tasted simple but flavourful especially with the aroma of lemongrass within; very heart-warming and works really great on a rainy day. Rice noodles were slippery and smooth, and there were quite a bit of beansprouts to bite too. A really comforting bowl of beef noodles that is satisfying to have — perhaps one that is worth traveling down to this neighborhood for.

Cheap and good dim sum. Forget about 126! They only open on weekend. I've spent $30.60 for 10 dishes.

Damn yummy!

Salted Egg Chicken ($6)

This is a secret find I contemplated posting about. Such a rare gem at East Village! So good was the Salted Egg Chicken I found nothing to criticize about it. The chicken cubes were fried till golden brown perfection and gently tossed in salted yolk paste. I can taste the crunchy crust, juicy chicken and savoury salted egg all in 1 bite 😁! Eaten with the accompanying onion slices elevated the dish further. At $6 for such a huge portion, I fear that it is only a matter of time before this place gets packed.

Yangzhou Fried Rice Restaurant is only 2 months old but its food packs the wok hei of an old-timer tze char stall. Also in picture is the flavourful Yangzhou Fried Rice ($3) 😍 and Yu Xiang Brinjaj 🍆. This place serves truely honest and good food at exceptional prices!

i really don't get it. the menu is filled with stuff worth trying, it's gonna take forever to go through trying each item 😭 creative food made from scratch, pls let the effort of these chefs shine through 😁 tried the fried street pizza today, I like!

Fit for 3-4 pax, this pot of gold will set you back at a wallet-friendly price of $27. All the crayfish, sliced fish, clams and prawns used in this dish were bought fresh, on a daily basis and in limited quantity. Hence, to avoid disappointment, your best bet would be to head there during lunchtime.

A large amount of seafood was used to create the broth, resulting in a natural sweetness, without any MSG added into it. You can most definitely enjoy the soup without being thirsty later. Besides the nasi lemak, chicken cutlet hor fun and red tea jelly, now there's something else to indulge when at Changi Village.

Tried more of Chef Recipe's food menu. Craving for egg, so decided to give this a try. When I was asked what side dish I choose, I chose Fried Sweet Potatoes. Not knowing that Fries are already included in the meal. 😩 But anyway, both gave different level of sweetness and taste. Only that I was really full after I finished. The cashier should've warned me that there's already fries included. My fault, I didn't ask! 😂

The burger patty is moist and soft but the smokiness still can be tasted. I liked how the egg was cooked; not dry nor too runny. It was definitely worth my $7, such a steal! 😜😊👌🏻

Situated at the corner of the coffeeshop, Hua Zai HK-style Roasted Delights is one of my favourite place closer to home for good soya sauce chicken, roasted pork and charsiew! Paid only $15 for one whole, delightfully tender, silky and juicy chicken, braised with soya sauce - light yet wonderfully tasty.
