Moonchild (Jalan Besar)

The Messy ‘Nicoise’ Salad ($21.50) came with smashed potatoes and salmon, hard boiled egg, romaine, red onion, long beans, dill and caper sauce, toasted buckwheat and sour cream. I’m not a salad person so I only tried the potato and salmon - I’m pleasantly surprised that the smashed potato is crisp on the outside and the salmon is not overcooked. The dressing is light and nice.

This is my first visit to Moonchild and I think I might have hit jackpot: The Pork Dan Dan Scallion Noodles ($21) was sooo good!

I was immediately greeted by the fragrance of the scallion green sauce once the noodle was served, even before I dug into it. The knife cut noodles came with mala crisp pork, braised shiitake, grilled mushrooms, long bean, cucumber and onsen egg. This was absolutely delicious - definitely something I will return for.

WAH idk why i need to experience things for myself to believe but fr as all posts on lemon8 said, the scallop rose pasta rly abit overhyped.... 🫣 it's legit what u see is what u get. also the scallop abit fishy imo but i'm also not a seafood fan so maybe less reliable LOL. but it looks pretty la & it's not say not nice, the pasta wasn't soggy & the sauce was creamy & sour (tomatoey) enough. it's just like that lor, unimpressionable.

the beef don q yummy! i think abit stupid that they served the beef don v early then the pasta like a good 25 mins later only, like abit poor kitchen planning & the restaurant wasn't v crowded also

but anws service was rlyyy good! think people recco-ed the stock chicken pot & scallion oil pork dandan noodles. might be back to try that!

otherwise i think this wouldn't rly be somewhere i'd revisit 🤍

BANANA BREAD W MASCARPONE ($12.80) was a whole brick :o V moist and i loved the topping combi - espresso mascarpone, seed brittles and dried cranberries! I always get the ICE TEA W MILK-STACHE ($7.50) when I visit any of the cafes from the Atlas group, and yall shld too.

too sour and i preferred if it leaned less towards the tomato side

good but I felt that I can get the exact same satisfaction from McWings at a cheaper price🥴
