Bukit Batok (NS2)

The Charcoaled Fired Fish Steamboat was what I was craving for! Drinking down the warm soup definitely keep the stomach comfortable in such a cold day.

If you are ordering Fish Head Steamboat, it will cost $28 instead. We had the fish meat version by topping up $10. The pot was filled with generous amount of vegetables, cabbages, tomato, yam and pieces of fish meat.

There were a handful of fish meat chunks among the soup and the portion is more than enough for 2 pax.

One of the essential ingredients will be the blocks of yam included in the steamboat soup. No doubt that the soup is already flavorful, I still prefer the yam blocks to be fried a little before including them into the soup.

The soup is refillable at the service of the servers. Soup tasted sweet and a tad on the sour side, I guess they have included plums in it too which make the soup appetizing and addictive to me.

Visiting Xin Yuan Ji can never be completed without ordering their Fish Soup. Therefore, we ordered a double fish soup Bee Hoon. It tasted familiar with Chinese wine, eggs, fish and vegetables as their ingredient.

The sliced fish was tender and the Belacan chilli gave an additional spicy kick to it.

The fried fish chunks were not too bad. The fish meat was firm and did not disintegrate easily despite soaking in the soup for some time. The batter had held them together well enough.

The texture of the Liver was skillfully cooked to perfection whereby the boiling timing must be accurate so that the liver will not be overcooked. The texture is just of the right chewiness and was not hardened.

The intestines and noodles tasted as good as enjoying a bowl of noodles right in the coffee shop.

I still enjoy this style of noodles tossed in black sauce coupled with fried crispy onions and some leafy greens.

The Loin Ribs or better known as Dragon Ribs when translated from Mandarin 龙骨 is the largest rib bones from the pig. The bone is longer and the texture of the meat is firmer. The soup was something out of my expectation as they were not as peppery that what I had thought initially. Instead, it was traditionally light flavoured with the natural taste of the pork with the use of both garlic and pepper to bring the taste out.

From the first sip of soup, it gives me a good reminiscent of Cantonese Soup from Hong Kong Noodles Char Chan Teng, clear, simple and flavourful.
The ingredients in the dumplings are different compared to the usual ones we had. Besides the usual pork and shrimp meat, the black fungus strips and bamboo shoots gave the dumplings a unique texture.The size of the dumplings is no doubt bigger and more filling than those in the Wantons.

ordered their recommended Signature All-In Combo Mee Hoon Kway. Their Signature with All-In basically comprises all the ingredients of other items on the menu. It comprises of Minced Pork, Pork Slices, Pork Ball as well as Shrimp Ball, served in either dry or soup version.

I opt for the soup version and it came with fried ikan billis to complement the taste. The Mee Hoon Kueh slices were velvetly smooth and not too doughy with some charred taste.

The pork slices were tender and went well with the chilli. Though the meatball was well marinated and contains a distinctive flavour, dipping them into the garlicky and piquant chilli definitely enhances its taste.

Though it is said to be of quality made and each component in the bowl was done well, making up a comforting bowl of Mee Hoon Kway, my heart on Mee Hoon Kway still goes to L32 Handmade Noodles for their broth and chilli are packed with my childhood memories, closer to my taste buds.

The chicken was well seasoned, succulent and the skin was crispy. The dish has everything I like on the plate including the mushroom gravy. For big eaters, this main may not be filling for your stomach.

All char Siew are Bu Jian Tian 不见天 meat and they are really good. If you are adventurous enough, do try the fatty meat. If not u can also have the choice to order the mix version whereby you can see the distinct layer of fat and lean meat

Probably the best Kolo Mee in the West of Singapore. Comes with plain/black/red sauce. They are also selling Sarawak Laksa. Worth the calories :)

Kway Teow Tng is my comfort food here. Very nice and great ambience.

If you want both carbs as well as proteins, pasta and Chicken Chop will be a good choice. The meal comes with an egg as well as a choice of sauce. The Aglio Olio texture was Al Dente and the cripsy skin layer of the chicken chop goes well with the savoury brown sauce.
