gen made me a 🥤𝙎𝙤𝙮 𝙈𝙞𝙡𝙠 𝙏𝙚𝙖 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙎𝙤𝙮 𝙁𝙤𝙖𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙅𝙖𝙙𝙚 [$5.9], which i think is pretty much their most iconic option on the menu. relatively more fragrant and thicker than your average cup of soya milk, it even comes with a smooth layer of beancurd at the bottom and a creamy, airy dollop of soya milk foam, created from freshly frothed soy milk. to top it off in a way i’ve never seen before is a skewer with three chewy mochi-ish balls and a sprinkle of earthy soy bean powder. as an avid drinker of boxed soy milk, i must say that this was a real treat 😍 THANKS GENNY!!!!!!

Featured in the Michelin Bib Gourmand, I had high hopes for these beef noodles and am delighted to write that I loved them! With thin juicy beef slices and four beef balls in a clear flavourful broth, I briefly considered ordering another bowl for myself. I appreciated how the broth had a noticeable 'beefy' taste with a subtle sweetness, which is probably evidence of cooking the broth over a long period of time rather than using pre-made powdered seasoning. The chilli served with the dish has a pretty good kick and brings out the flavour of the beef beautifully. My sole (mostly negligible) gripe is that the portion of noodles was pretty tiny despite ordering the largest size, and I still felt hungry after the meal. At such an affordable price, I don't know how anyone could miss this!

from @eatkrapow, we had the 𝘾𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙥𝙮 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙞 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙣 𝙒𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 [$15] to start, which were crisp and flavourful 👌🏻 later on, we had their 𝙋𝙖𝙙 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙞 𝘿𝙤𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙀𝙜𝙜 & 𝙏𝙤𝙛𝙪 [$24], which was my favourite dish of all 🤤 texture wise, it was slightly sticky, and we all loved how it wasn’t too oily and therefore less gelat!

After queuing for quite some time during the lunch hour madness, I managed to get the 🍜 𝙎𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙚-𝙎𝙩𝙮𝙡𝙚 𝙍𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙣 [$9] in the smallest size. I would say that it was pretty good (I mean, I wouldn’t expect any less of noodles I paid this price for). The ‘ramen’ is somewhat like wanton mee: thin, springy and firm. I’m not typically a fan of chashu, but the slice that came with this bowl was really tender :) The part that Nicole and I liked the most was the potato-wrapped prawns—shrimp wrapped in a crisp, rosti-like potato. The way the potato strips coiled around the shrimp reminded me of the tornado potato sticks they sell in Korean street food markets 😍

🍲 Overall: Is it worth it? Well, it was a pretty tasty bowl of noodles. If you’re willing to spend a little more than usual on hawker food and queue for some time to see what all the hype is about, then you could give this a try. Otherwise, you could easily opt for cheaper options all around in the market. Not something I’d come back to try again but… I’m glad I did once, at the very least 🙂

looking for a place to grab a quick breakfast before school or work? this place serves one of the fluffiest kaya toasts i’ve tried 🤤 at $4.30 for a set (2 eggs, a drink and two slices of toast), you can get a bite of this pillowy bread, spread generously w dark kaya (had a strong coconut taste and a sticky texture) and a slab of butter 😍
