Welcome to Chinatown.

[CHINATOWN, SINGAPORE] Definitely a very decent Japanese restaurant with a live yakitori stand in front of you, but they do have a few slight misses!

Their lunch menu is much more affordable as compared to their ala carte dinner menu, with the Yakitori Bento ($18.50) being one of their most popular options. I've had this bento many times and their yakitori is decently tender and is well seasoned. The bacon okra was very smoky too! However, the other sticks weren't as good as I remembered, as the tsukune or meatballs were slightly dry, and I felt like the quail eggs weren't grilled enough. I added the medium set ($6) that comes with kaarage, which was decently tender in some parts but rather dry for others.

The Aburi Mentai Salmon Don ($18.50) was surprisingly much better, as it not only had a generous portion of salmon and mentaiko sauce, the salmon was so fresh and rich as well! We opted for the largest set ($9), which came with assorted sashimi which was so thick and chunky 😍

Strange, I remembered the yakitori being really mind-blowing. Perhaps I ate too many really good ones in Japan 😂 nonetheless, this is still a pretty decent Japanese restaurant that you can try!

gelato幼滑，坚果碎中和了甜味的腻，带来脆脆的口感，和一些水果香味。用beyond获得买一送一single scoop. 蜜桃乌龙也是非常清爽的选择。

Limited menu, but pretty good Viet eatery with authentic dishes. The phở is better than at Nam Nam chain. At least,it comes with all the herbs and vegs, as in Vietnam; at the Les Amis-owned joint, you have to pay extra for it!

finally tried the og after trying the newer june franchise last year, and i can undoubtedly say... june is SO much better !!!! 🌟🌟

i feel like the black sesame latte just didn't hit as hard here or taste as creamy/yummy for some reason but the malibu refresher was not bad la

the aburi scallop udon was q yums too! the udon was cooked well with a few pieces being a little more Q than others but textural differences i guess <333 i enjoyed it 💗 they were also v generous w the tobiko & ebiko so !!!! yay

the beef ragu was also super generous w the beef but unfortunately the pasta texture & flavour kind of fell short for me ☹️ i found it q boring & soggy

total bill was q steep - $73ish for these items but ok! relatively enjoyable sundate still 💛

fav einspänner to date🫶🏼

💯Adding this to my recommended cafes list ✨
💓 Strawberry Matcha ($8.50)
💓 Yuzu Cheesecake ($7.50)
💯Avocado Classic ($9.90) is the winner item for me! For a vegetarian sandwich it hits the spot better than many other meat sandwich out there! the usd of herby foccacia bread so soft and fluffy is 👍 and they did something to the cheese that complements a subtle savory-like touch to the tomato fresh crunch texture 💯👍 so good honestly ✨

Best of all, you can use CDC here 😜!

The Chinatown Complex Market & Food Centre in Singapore is a food lover’s paradise, with a dizzying array of delicious stalls. It’s home to some of Singapore’s one-Michelin-starred affordable eats and numerous top-rated local delicacies. Each visit feels like a treasure hunt.
Cheng Ji’s Sauce Steamed Pine Fish Head is a favorite of mine, having visited over 20 times. Both my grandmother and I love it and often bring friends along. The fish head is fresh and tender, perfectly complemented by their signature sweet and sour bean sauce. Their dry-fried prawns are also a must-order.
Maria’s Virgin Chicken requires advance booking for the whole chicken due to my grandmother’s age. Zhao Ji’s Hainanese Chicken Rice is quite good, with both the yellow and white chicken being very tender. I usually go for the yellow chicken leg rice, and my friend had one of the best chicken rice experiences here.
An Zhen’s Thin Pancakes are recommended by Michelin. The pancakes are slightly sweet, but you can ask them to reduce the sugar. Their little golden cups are a must-try.
Xi Jie’s Fried Kway Teow has a 20-minute wait, and while it’s quite tasty, it’s not the best I’ve had. Jia Ji’s zongzi (rice dumplings) are quite famous, especially the mung bean and salted egg zongzi, which can rank in the top three. The regular salted egg and pork zongzi must be thoroughly steamed to be delicious.
Quan Neng Qiao Ma Ma’s Laksa has a great flavor, and their Bak Kut Teh (pork rib soup) has a very rich broth. There’s also a video from my visit in 2022. That day, I ate at Yue Lai, one of the best claypot cooking restaurants in Singapore. Mr. Jerald Chua has visited twice, and every dish there is a masterpiece.

preferred the boneless beef short prime rib in soy sauce marinade over the black pork belly. the service was incredible they kept changing our grill and helped us cut the pork belly even tho they were super busy

($65.40) it's quite creamy and milky for 🎂. Got thin lychee taste tbh as it's not strong based even though they put inside Lychee flesh in between for cake.

We love our hawker food {Part II}. Braved through the beer-drinking crowds for these plump and meaty morsels that is so worth checking out for its affordable price and legit native Chinese fare! The handmade xiao long bao with slightly thicker skin boasts an impossibly flavourful broth and juicy meat that we just can’t get enough of.
