Broth and mixian were alright, beef slices were too tough, not premium at all

Add minced meat +1++, beef tendon +4.8++ and bursting meatballs +3.8++

This is my third time eating so I think I have to be honest w myself now. It's the case where the ingredients are all good, from the springy noodles to the well seasoned minced meat and the gooey century egg. But they don't work particularly well tgt because the noodles don't physically mix w the ingredients, the century egg doesnt mesh well, not contributing to the overall taste profile much and the chili was way too spicy. Nothing is particularly jarring cos they all don't have too much character

Beef tendon and bursting meatballs were both alright not impressive

Quite a good version, the pandan custard has a certain lightness and refined flavour, while the rice was slightly salted

Siobak is good. Clean tasting light airy crunchy skin, lean pork was tender enuf

Char siew is very different from their picture. The pepper glaze isn't too weird but fundamentally it's just nowhere near good enough, since it's so lean there's no melt in your mouth character, nor any crisp

Chili sauce was quite good, it's got a fruitiness to it without much heat

Verdict:
If you must come, come before 1130 and get the siobak with coffee. Otherwise don't bother travelling for this

PSA come before 12pm. During lunch rush they are completely filled, meanwhile at 1130 there's not a single person in the queue

Food:
Meh. Tender ckn w a generic sweet sour sauce. Ckn had no crisp at all

Rice was ok, very tiny grains. Achar was ok as well, egg wasn't marinated much at all

This is definitely not worth getting here

Oh wow their coffee is excellent

A very unique version, the complex and slightly acidic coffee foam was made with frothed sugar which gives it its thickness(the combination was balanced, it's not particularly sweet). It's so thick it reminded me of egg coffee in Hanoi and I tot they added eggs at first

The milk was full cream milk and it was absolutely indulgent

The combination was lovely. For an artisanal piece like this the price was more than reasonable

Must try if you're here

The meat was ok, not particularly good. But the chili is sharp and has body, and well loved

The broth is very mild, it's really a clean seafood broth with the teeniest of funk, and slightly creamy from cream rather than cheese. Not jelak at all

The prawns were snappy but too much sand. Scallops were ok, the meatballs were unique and quite good

Tender inside but the outside texture is abit hard, kind of can be anticipated from how it looks

It's okayish but really not particularly good. It's somewhat firm but too smooth and not meaty

Eh, the crisp isn't particularly strong. It's obviously decent enough tho seeing it's carving board

Combo comes with big prawns and squid and pork slices

It's thick enough but the umami wasn't strong. Big prawns were fine, nothing noteworthy but recently executed

They're very slow for some reason, the bee hoon takes time but idk why they serve all the dishes tgt restaurant style, it's really inefficient cos all their staff get clogged up at the narrow passageway and there's a huge delay in serving the rest of the customers, while at other times theyre all standing around doing absolutely nothing. Very annoying
