Hotplate spicy pork!

Tze char all day everyday!

Visited @jb101firewokzflagship for the first time after bookmarking it on my map for the longest time!

They were having some promotion for fried fish at $2.90 only!!

Other dishes we ordered:
- salted egg spare ribs $15
- stir fried tanghoon $6
- charcoal claypot hokkien noodles $8.90

Loved that there was no bones in the pork ribs!
Would have preferred if the claypot hokkien noodles were the wetter kind though.

No GST and service charge here

Was at Taman Jurong Food House and chanced upon a long queue for Fong Hup Koka Noodle, so we decided to try it!

Luckily we were not rushing for time, because it took 30minutes from the long queue to order, and the long wait to wait for food to be prepared!

Got the Koka Noodle with seafood soup ($6) and Mee Hoon Kueh Noodle Soup ($4.50). This outlet reminds me of the famous kekoumian stall in Bukit Panjang (but the queue wait for that is even more insane)!

Between the seafood and non-seafood version, I preferred the non-seafood version! The minced meat was nicely marinated! On the other hand, the seafood items all tasted bland to me. Soup was comforting!

They seem to have many outlets all over Singapore! Head to the nearest Fong Hup Koka Noodle near to your home to try now!

Have went past Licker many times, but finally trying it recently!

They have very reasonably priced waffles! The waffles only cost $5 (+GST), while each scoop of ice cream costs $3 (+GST)! For premium flavours, there is an additional 80 cents.

The waffle is crispy on the outside, and light fluffy on the inside. A side of honey sauce is also given for your own drizzling. Many unique flavours here to try! We got the watermelon passionfruit and oolong lavender! Between the two, I preferred the sourish watermelon passionfruit! Seems like I prefer sour sorbet kind of flavours nowadays! We also got the MR MAO mao shan wang durian flavour (this is SUPREME flavour, $6.50 per scoop)!

Head here for your late night dessert was they are open all the way to 2am!

(Plus u can use CDC vouchers here!)

If you stay in the west, you will be happy to know that DAN LAO has opened a new outlet at Tengah Plantation Plaza!

I have visited the original Maxwell outlet years ago to try it! Tried the Char Siew Rice the previous time. But as I was ordering, we noticed so many customers infront of us getting the luncheon meat / chicken cutlet bowl, so we decided to try the chicken cutlet bowl this time round!

I love the silky scrambled eggs! Best to dine in, else the eggs will become cooked eggs if you take it away. Will be better if more sauce is given for the whie rice! Super love their chilli though, very savoury and got kick one! Fried chicken cutlet was nicely marinated. But if you are trying to avoid fried food in your diet, may be better to try their char siew or prawn bowl instead!

Exploring food places in the west brought us to @laifaba 来发吧 !

Visited on a weekend a few minutes right before opening hours, and there was already 3 groups waiting to enter! (We didnt make any reservations earlier as it was an impromptu decision to head there to eat).

This place is famous for their traditional wanton noodles and woodfire-roasted meats! What is special about this place is that you can even choose your meat cut options - lean, mixed or fatty! Seriously, this is the best customisation ever, as I love lean char siew meat! (don't really love the super fatty kind).

The bowl of signature noodle is $12++ though! Kinda expensive if you compare it to coffeeshop/hawker pricing. But if you compare it to tze char restaurant / cafe pricing, this is still relatively cheaper! Springy noodles, sweet caramelised sugar, with crispy fried wanton. The soup also had boiled wantons too! Comes with half a lava egg as well! The chilli sauces are available at each table - normal chilli, extra spicy chilli, or green chilli. Also ordered the taufu meat pocket ($12++) which was quite special!

The restaurant was nicely decked in nostalgic and vintage furniture.

A nice place to come at least once to try out the food!

Who else loves claypot chicken rice!

On the search for nice claypot chicken rice in the west. Today, our search brought us to Bao Fa Traditional Food 宝发传统小食 at Bukit Batok!

We called 45mins in advance to place our order for takeaway, so there was no waiting time required! This was the medium size portion ($16) which is enough for 2 -3 pax! The chicken meat was tender and well seasoned! However, as it was a takeaway order, the rice seemed to lack some charcoal claypot wok hei taste. The chilli used here reminds me of those used for chicken rice chilli, spicy and with kick!

Ban Mian/ Mee Hoon Kway with Wok Hei Taste!

The most unique ban mian stall in Singapore is this! Their soup has a wok hei taste (slightly burnt flavour). It is a love or hate relationship with this unique soup! I super love their chewy banmian and mee hoon kway! Have since came to eat it 3 times already!

They have various outlets in Singapore!

I visited the one at 177 Bukit Batok West Ave. 8, Singapore 650177!

Hokkien Mee at THE NEIGHBOURWOK!

We tried to eat this on two attempts before we finally could! Because their operating hours are quite limited, for lunch it is 11am-2.30pm! But somehow, we always happen to reach at around 2-2.30pm timing, where they are either sold out or closed taking orders for lunch!

So finally able to eat this recently!

We got the $5 small portion, and it was quite a substantial portion! There are two prawns, some squid and sliced pork in it! The hokkien mee is the wet kind! For taste, I thought it resembled the white beehoon in terms of the starchy sauce and the citrusy spicy chilli sauce! The ingredients are also almost the same!

Recommend to try! But waiting time is usually at least 15mins, not a food to order if you are rushing for time!

Location: 177 Bukit Batok West Ave. 8, Get Together Coffeeshop, Singapore 650177
