($6.90) I finally tried their ramen after trying their rice and bibimnoodle since my friend always order this most of time. But I find that their ramen was quite hard a bit and still got "q" texture. Pork was quite tough texture tbh.

The Pad See Ew Moo from Thai Gold Food at Bencoolen delivers a delightful experience with its wok-fired flat rice noodles perfectly coated in soy sauce.
Each bite is savoury, featuring tender slices of pork and a generous portion of fresh vegetables, making it both satisfying and flavourful.

The special bean curd from YY Kafei Dian offers a delightful culinary experience with its flavourful taste and unique texture.
Accompanied by a generous serving of vegetables, it's not only delicious but also great value for money at just $9.
Highly recommended for those seeking a satisfying dish to go with fluffy rice!

The fluffy doughnut from YY Kafei Dian is delightfully light and airy, with a perfect touch of sweetness, making it an irresistible treat.
Meanwhile, the plain croissant stands out with its wonderful layers and hint of buttery flavour.
Both are excellently crafted and highlight the cafe's commitment to quality baked goods.
Loved the iced milo and iced milk tea.

($6.90) I finally tried their ramen after trying their rice and bibimnoodle since my friend always order this most of time. But I find that their ramen was quite hard a bit and still got "q" texture. Chicken was quite tough texture tbh 😅

($7.50) I felt that their sauce was mild spicy but a sweet note aftertaste. I alr tried their different food since last year. The bibmabab got a lot of vegtables such as bean sprout, cucumber, carrot, lettuce, pork and seaweed. It come with side dish (kimchi & anchovies) and free flow miso soup with purchase of any mains.

Pad See Ew or Thai stir fried soy sauce noodles is an extremely popular Thai street food dish. Whereas pad thai has a sweet and nutty flavour, pad see ew is meant to be salty and packed full of wok hei.

Thai God's rendition of this dish is less salty than our versions. However, it makes up for this with a strong and bold wokhei flavour. Interestingly, they seem to use slightly larger pieces of flat rice noodles or kway teow which maximises the surface area for charring.

The portion is on the small side but considering the price and location, I would consider as a great option for a quick and light lunch or dinner!

Mention Sunshine Plaza and most people would think of Victor's Kitchen and their liushabaos. For those in the know though, Sunshine Plaza is actually a little food enclave with a eclectic collection of eateries.

Thai Gold Food has been around for quite some time and attracts a dedicated clientale with good affordable Thai food in the city area.

Their green curry chicken was decent. The green curry was creamy and aromatic and it came with loads of green. I did wish though that they used more substantial chunks of chicken rather than the scrappy bits.

($2.20) Decided to order for trying their side dish beside their kaya bread. I felt that their egg tart custard was not that bad and not that hard (decent level) but their outer pastry crust was slightly hard to chew thru.

($10) tbh I did enjoy their Hainanese Pork Chop compared to another store beside them. It's much crispy and also crunchy texture for pork chop. The sauce for Hainanese Pork Chop was quite mild spicy and not that spicy that I thought of.

($1.60) Finally tried their best selling kaya bun even though they got a variety of dessert and snacks on the counter. The kaya jam got strong gula melaka taste and also got mild brown colour for jam.

Ichitei has been serving Japanese cuisine since 2009, but it’s only in 2024 that I finally decided to sample their food. The nice thing about this long standing institution is that all prices are net priced with no tax or service charge, so it already has a head-start on most other Japanese restaurants.⠀

Ichitei’s main attraction are their sashimi dons, and I got a bowl of their best selling Hokkaido Scallop & Salmon Mentaiko Aburi ($17.50). Don’t let the deceptively diminutive size of this dish fool you; it can fill up most people with ease. Lots of salmon sashimi is laid on top of a mound of sushi rice, crowned by a couple of slices of Hokkaido scallop, and then the entire shebang gets dressed with mentaiko before it all gets lit with a blowtorch.⠀

The plethora of fresh salmon sashimi was quite fresh, and the thinly sliced Hokkaido scallops were subtly sweet. However, the amount of mentaiko was slightly lacking, as it didn’t really make much of an impact on this dish. Ichitei did, however, thoroughly torch the mentaiko as well as the seafood, making this the smokiest aburi rice bowl in Singapore.⠀

With all that said, Ichitei is a decent place for a no-frills Japanese fare fix, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to have the food here.
