💯Have the Youth met the Generational expectations?😎 Personally I think @shiokhokkienmee did it! I love the generous amount of pork lard, smokey aroma of the wok hey and slurpy texture of the noodles ✨ all the key ingredients of a damn good hokkien mee💕 Been supporting them since @youfuhokkienmee days and now still as good! Looking for hokkien mee at Golden Mile Food Centre? Go up 🔝🤭!

👀 80cents Mee Jiang Kueh / Traditional Pancakes?!✨ Also one of the best i had in Singapore 🇸🇬✨ Located inside Pei Kio Hawker Centre ( one of the oldest HC) serving friendly prices to a lot of elderly in the vicinity 🏠✨ Can choose between thick or thin but i personally like the thicker one with more bite and chew - get them fresh, hot and packed with peanuts my favorite 😊

🦆 Sembawang Hills Hawker Centre’s Famous Eng Huat Duck Rice✨ served in their own flower / chicken old school plate and jn pure teochew style - the duck is done tender with the rich yet light herby sauce pairing and finally finish off with their signature sambal chilli (cannot miss this!). Can eat this all day but do eat it in the morning before the queue lengthens 😂

🆕Free range Aus Lamb Rack with Perchyk rempah, fermented garlic and kaffir lime😍 What i like bout blackgoat is you pay for quality ingredients and it shows in the meat selections they do💗 they do not overpower the meat with their in-house prep sauce but bring out the natural taste through the charcoal grill🤤 showing skills and appreciation for the ingredients 😊

🆕Szechuan Marinated Flank with chimichuri sauce and Kohirabi Slaw ($11) - another excellent culture creation marry between mediterranean and asian✨ can’t find such execution and creativity even in some award-winning restaurant 👍😛

🆕White Clams made from reduced mushroom broth and capers ($14.50) - rich unami flavour with savory fried garlic - i want to dabao the sauce back to make aglio olio will be 💯😛

🆕Squid stuffed with squid ink paired with ulam salad & gingerflowers and lemongrass broth ($9)💯 MUST GET, for $9, this quality dish can be served in restaurant👍 i can taste the effort taken to create the unique flavor and texture profile of this plate from the deconstruction of the squid elements and the asian inspired salad pairing with rarely used vegetables that has a natural spice to it 😍‼️

💡: On par with KL 海外天 Overseas Restaurant😍 - approved by family! especially for their premium char siew highly recommended 💯
📍: @roastparadise ( #oldairportroadfoodcentre )
💰: ~ $7-15

i cannot stop raving about the sweet fatty char siew 🤤 so sinful but so good!!!! i had roast paradise before but not their premium fatty char siew which exceeded expectations 💗 the chunky crunchy pork belly served fresh and hot was next to clear 🤪 followed by a close fight between the tender roasted duck and lean char siew ✨
…
For sides other than rice 🍚 which u must get to balance out all the juicy fats 😂 The cabbage soup (self service) is so addictive packed with the aromatic flavor from the duck bones and sweet cabbage 🥬 their mee pork with housemade spicy sauce really dealt a punch as well 🥵✨
…
overrall, 💯 return for the premium caramelised char siew - on par with msia top tier standards 😉💗

💯MUST TRY‼️💗Tomato Wok Hey Kway Teow ($8.80)✨ never had something like this in singapore before, now i have✨ it’s like Hor Fun but mixed with puree tomato sauce 🍅 they cooked the hor fun with a silkier finish which can be eaten with a spoon easily🥰 comfort food!

Food — I visited Blackgoat at least 5 times since their opening🤫 and their menu keeps getting better! Haven’t posted the rest (repeated meals😂) but this cheesecake truly blew my mind, ‼️It’s like a deconstructed Cacio e Pepe Cheesecake ‼️ They grate the parmesan cheese halfway for a cheesier finish🧀 Truly a Fine-Dining experience in a Hawker centre 💯‼️
…
💡: Highly recommend to check their instagram for weekly menu and also go early! Items till sold out 😉 Did I just screwed my own chances 🙃🫠😂

Closely resembles The Headless Baker at Ghim Moh Hawker Centre, @catinthehatbakes is starting out with classic bakes like lemon meringue and pecan tarts 💕 *hint* they are giving out the cutest mini experimental caneles when i was there - and omg it’s the best out of the lot! excited to get them in their final finesse ✨There is also Black Sesame Financier which is my favorite too!❤️ Looking forward to see how they find their place in Golden Mile Food Centre (a very competitive place 😂)

@blackgoatburgers is just one-month old at Jalan Batu Hawker Centre serving legit grilled burgers 🍔✨ They are opened from 5-8pm during Fasting Period / Month of Ramadan 🌙
…
Chicken Burger w Fries ($14)
the fried chicken is really well done super crispy 🔥, not oily at all, with hot grilled butter buns 😍 paired with smoked chipotle mayo sauce - better than bbq✨
