From Phati & Jane, the seemingly more established Thai stall. Quite a big pack and not bad lah, but for dinner it'll always be underwhelming.

Follow the well received "Whale Bun" ๐Ÿณ and Nasi Kerabu, the "shark bun" has emerged PLUS Nasi Kerabu and cage-free chicken leg with spicy sauce is also now available until 30 Apr. Blue theme seems to be in for this season. What we care the most though is sambal chilli and the dark gravy generously poured on top of this dish. These are must-haves!! ๐Ÿคค๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ’ฏ

I also got the last bit of braised pork belly

PSA this place, idk why there's a lot of takeaway orders. People take away 4-6 boxes at once, and when you have a few of these people, plus the uncle slices the duck so carefully and artistically, it seems like the queue barely moves. Take heed!!!

Their braising sauce is slightly different, the herbal taste is quite mild, and there's this edge to it, but not too much.

Decent: pork belly(tender), intestines(tender and no smell), tofu

Pass: gizzard and liver didn't have the best texture, it's quite AVG. Duck meat is very expensive, plus it's tough. Definitely skip the duck, weird as that sounds for a braised duck place

Chili was sharp and has no body, but it works well here.

Aunty was very friendly

Overall, no need to visit, unless u particularly like the sauce, or the uncle's careful artistic deboning and slicing

This place has the ideal bouncy texture for liver. However it could be abit thicker, and so it's not the best I've had(from the Jurong West claypot rice stall)

The sauce is unique, but that doesn't rlly matter because it's not particularly strong and what's impt is the texture.

this is certainly worth a try if you've never had the perfect bouncy kind of liver

Huge portion, the sambal is quite aromatic. Unfortunately, the dish as a whole was very average in terms of both flavour and texture

Skip for sure

There's some wok hei, it's quite unique actl. The horfun has a sticky and slightly slippery texture, but it wasn't as slippery as you would expect from a whole raw egg. You barely taste the egg after mixing.

Original comes with pork and seafood, the fish was really fresh

Comfort food, not bad, not mindblowing

The small amount of gula melaka inside was intense, but the chewy skin was way too thick, the balance is off

My love for hokkien mee has taken a backseat for a while since I do not have any good nearby options. Glad to chance upon Chef Gooโ€™s as theirs is pretty decent

Dish is filling with its generous toppings - plump prawns though slightly overcooked are fresh, a few pork belly slices, lard, and some lala. It is on the wetter side (which I prefer), though the โ€œbrothโ€ is a bit bland

Being a lazy ass, having that big of a prawn, I abhor the peeling part lol. Added in here (second photo) their peeled version ($6) which I enjoyed too, but not as much as the full one despite not doing the deshelling myself ๐Ÿ˜‚

Head to Ikea Alexandra for Chicken horfun that won't break the bank ๐Ÿค‘ Shredded chicken, easy-to-slurp flat white noodle and decent gravy. Don't forget to ask for chilli ๐ŸŒถ๐ŸŒถ๐ŸŒถ horfun in the next level! โ˜„๏ธ

Been passing by this place for a long while but only got to try it recently, and wow, no wonder they are always a full-house

Opted for their assorted soontofu (beef, clam, crab, shrimp, and squid) served with rice in hot stone, as well as sides. Hearty dish - good spice level (can be customised), really soft homemade tofu, piping hot rice

Sides are refillable, except for the fried yellowfish (this is good also)

Enjoyed my meal, filling and really comforting

The ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ผ๐˜†๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐˜ ($12.80) was stellar as well. The expertly grilled saba was moist and tender, and did not have the fishy stench that saba fish served in food courts often do.

Each set came with a salad, chawanmushi, miso soup and fruit. These were decent and by no means spectacular, but they added to the completeness of the meal. Very satisfying and Iโ€™d love to try some other items on its menu.
