Lunch Haunts

This broth is brimming with the goodness of collagen. It’s creamy and best eaten hot, otherwise the top layer will start coagulating. I ordered the chicken noodle set which also comes with veg and a glorious onsen egg. Spy tip: Chili padi is also served at a nominal add on charge.

If u are at a loss what to order, just stick to the grilled squid, sambal eggplant and yellow rice. Guaranteed to induce glorious food coma thereafter. The satay also deserves special mention for its smoky charred crust. Ironically, the deep fried signature fish dish failed to excite.

Am not a big fan of beef noodles but Hock Lam serves one of the best versions in town. They are super generous with their beef balls too...I counted 8! (And I’m not complaining 😜)

At $70, you get varied course of sushi, miso soup and a small scoop of ice cream with cheesecake. The items were reasonably fresh and offered decent value but nothing spectacular. I still felt hungry after that. Pictured here is the nicest sushi in the set I had- amago.

Left or right? Either way, it’s a heyday for wanton mee fanatics like me. Naturally we made a beeline for the air conditioned one. Loved the lard perfumed noodles, the Unami dumplings and that killer chili. Beware! They don’t have tissue paper to dab those unglamorous tears away! Luckily, I came prepared with a huge box of tissue.
