Breakfast

Typically, you don’t taste much of the yam whenever you have yam cakes, because they are mostly made up of flour “cake”. However the one i tasted in this stall has a good flavour of yam in every bite, and the amount of yam cubes in the cake is generous. Good find in chinatown!

I love this peanut pancake ! The pancake itself is very soft, fluffy and mild tasting, isn’t heavy at all. With the peanuts and sugar filling, it comes together brilliantly, overall not too sweet and very satisfying! I always thought something like this will be very dense and sweet but this changes my perspective. Got to try!

In every bowl of piping hot prawn noodle soup, you will want to look for 3 things. 1, well cooked noodles. 2, fresh and well done prawns. 3, deep prawn flavoured soup. This bowl of prawn noodles has almost it all! The noodles are springy and cooked perfectly, not too soft and not too tough. The prawns are sweet and just well done too, springy as well. Lastly, the broth has a good, clean prawn-ish savoury taste although i would prefer a deeper flavoured one. Overall, i will recommend this bowl of prawn noodles for its brilliantly cooked noodles and sweet pieces of prawns, broth is not the best i have tasted but don’t get me wrong, it is still impressively flavourful. The only real down side is that this is at a slightly pricier side for a bowl.

Each ingredient is not very good on its own but together it is a wonderful bite of burger, let me explain. Egg is smooth and moist, slight creaminess from the half cooked egg on the top, however it is bland from the lack of creamy flavour to it which would have been perfect. Meat patty is salty and peppery, a bit way too salty eaten by itself. Bun has a slight toughness and bite to it; eaten on its own will have people wondering if it is a poorly baked piece of old bread.

With the slight creaminess from the egg, saltiness from the patty and slight toughness to the bread, eaten together these ingredients compliments each other brilliantly. The salty patty brings up the savoury tastes of the egg and bun, while the soft texture of the egg balances out the tougher side of bun and patty. Overall, i like it, theres a reason why Big Breakfast has always been a hit with the locals. They demonstrated how distinctively separated ingredients which lacks on its own can come together and bring out the best of each other in one bite. Don’t get me wrong its not the best burger, but it satisfies and does quite a decent job to satisfy simple breakfast burger cravings.
