Mixed beehoon and noodles, with curry veges + taiwan sausage + chicken wing. Total $5.70. Noodles were great, but the beehoon was soaked in the curry gravy so I regret choosing the curry, though the curry vege itself was delicious. Sausage and chicken wing was normal. Quite overpriced I would say, and nothing outstanding.

Was fortunate enough to come by back when they were having their opening promotion in Feb - 50% off their dishes! We had the Curry Chicken ($8.90) and the Steamed Egg ($6.90). Both dishes were hearty and yummy, and we would return to try the other zichar-style claypot offerings next time we're back at T2! Even without the discount, they are still super affordable and value-for-money.

Grew up pestering my parents for this every other week. Cost might have increased and taste might have changed but this was still comfort soup for the soul. This was the medium bowl for $10.30 - prawns were fresh, minced meat still had that unique bite, and they are still so stingy with their rich broth. Love it!

Bustling on a Saturday lunchtime period, but the place quickly empties out at a certain time (I'm guessing it's when the kids' afternoon enrichment classes start). They do a variety of local SG favourites - we tried the curry chicken cutlet rice, fried beehoon, prawn mee, and prawn mee sua. Prawn mee broth was delicious, with tons of ingredients within, although i preferred the beehoon instead of the mee sua. The 2 bowls of prawn mee plus a hot milo and teh c ice only came up to $18.40. Pretty worth it. Ambience was also clean and bright, perfect for weekend chat sessions.

One of the few stores open on a Monday night. Got the Mixed Beef Noodles (Soup) at the $6 portion, and was pleasantly surprised by the generous servings of meat. The rice noodles were also springy with a firm bite, couldn't help but slurp it up until I finished the noodles before the meat! Broth leans towards Chinese-style, might try the dry version next time.

$6 bowl of Mixed Mutton soup, filled with (boneless) mutton ribs and stomach. Warm, herbal goodness, and the coriander lent a fresh touch to every spoonful. Don't forget the chilli for a tangy kick. A great meal for a cold day, but be prepared to queue for about 30min or even longer.

Newly opened at United Square Mall! They have an interesting concept of 'zhng-ed' up instant noodles from around Asia, with selections from Japan, Korea, Thai and many others. Can choose the instant noodle base, and it will come with a choice of 3 ingredients, a protein, and a drink. You can also choose to add on additional ingredients, upgrade your drink, and even opt for the store's signature soup bases! Very customisable for people with different preferences.

We chose the MAMA Creamy Tomyum ($11.90) and the Nissin Kyushu Red Spicy Creamy Broth ($13.90). While the prices might seem high, they do give a healthy serving of the ingredients such that you're guaranteed to be satiated. Taste-wise, it's the familiar flavours of the instant noodles, but you can tweak it to your liking with the free-flow condiments bar - add on as much fried shallots, garlic, chilli oil, and spring onions to your hearts desire!

Overall, although there were some things I could nitpick about, it was still a satisfying meal for us. Would return for their daily bowl weekday specials where the prices are more affordable, and for the signature soups which I heard are pretty good!

Heard the buzz and of course I had to try it for myself. There are two soup options - clear and spicy - so we got both to try, in the pork variation and the prawn variation. Right off the bat, the spicy soup looked so much more delectable and enticing, and on first sip the spiciness and underlying sweetness of the broth really blew me away. The 'gao'-ness of the broth was quite addictive and paired quite nicely with the noodles. Special shoutout to the minced meat which had that bite to it, not like the flavourless minced meat balls from elsewhere. On the other hand, I think the clear broth can be passed, as there was nothing outstanding to it, especially comparing side by side with the spicy option. Only get it if you can't take spicy, but otherwise it just tasted like the maggi chicken seasoning.

Curry broth was rich, savory, and delicious. Big pieces of chicken which had bones in but the meat was tender. I slurped this up in no time.

Price increased over the years, taste dipped slightly but still delicious. Don't forget to add the chilli, it makes a world of difference to the curry.

A farily popular store at this food centre, and for good reason. Their dry noodles come in a very unique sauce that has a distinct smokey character to it - no where else have I tasted noodles like this before! The noodles themselves are chewy and has a nice bite, and the chilli has a spicy-sour kick that overall just gives this dish much more oomph. Their soup is also not your average run-of-the-mill soup either, it's almost like egg drop soup here. And best of all, all this for just $4.50...woo!

The 'Noodle Specialist' in their stall name is real - I'm not really a fan of wanton mee, but their rendition really left my eyes open wide at the first bite. The $4.50 version was already chock full of minced pork, char siew, and crisp wantons and veges. But the magic was in the sauce - deliciously umami and flavourful, it left me wanting more and more. All in all, a store well-deserving of its various merits and accolades.

Adventurous and always looking for new flavours on my tongue!
