Welcome to Farrer Park.

This is really crunchy and delicious paired with a tangy dip.

My partner, on the other hand, tried the Bacon & Egg Rosti ($18). This time round, the rosti came slathered with Tomato Jam, almost like a sweetened bolognaise sauce, which threw her off a little. While I didn't mind it, she quickly asked to switch with my leftover plain rosti so I guess it's not to everyone's tastes. The house-cured bacon though, was delicious. Two whole slabs of thick, crisp, sweet-savoury bacon. I don't know what they glazed them with but I wish I could have more.

Overall, their rostis deserve all the hype and more, though do try their plain ones first! Can be a little pricey but I think it's worth a visit or two.

Nestled within the cosy Old Hen Kitchen was Poonsti, our brunch choice for the weekend. Heard lots of good things about their rosti, so this was what we zeroed in on when we made our orders.

I went with the Sour Cream & Chives Rosti ($12) so I could taste the OG rosti quality. Boy, was this good. Decently thick with crisp edges, the potato shreds were seasoned well and still with a firm bite - none of that mushy business. I almost wolfed everything down before I realised there was still the sour cream. Spreading a dollop atop the rosti, the tangy creaminess lent a fresh taste to the potatoes and the enjoyment factor went up even more. This quickly became my favourite rosti in Singapore, no kidding.

𝗪𝗼𝗸 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 一品锅’𝘀 mission is to serve up authentic and premium zichars dishes all while keeping the price point affordable. We were treated to a feast of their signature dishes and were especially impressed by their 🥓 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗱 ($𝟭𝟴). On first look, it seemed rather dry but it was actually soft, flavourful and the fermented red beancurd flavours really shined through.

Good things come in pairs and we also liked their 𝗗𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗻 ($𝟮𝟲) 🍤, which had chonky prawns coated with salted egg sauce and wasabi sauce. The sauces were rich and delicious and the batter wasn’t soggy despite the sauce which we liked!

Wok master’s 𝗗𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗞𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀 ($𝟮𝟲) 🥬 played on the textures of deep fried kailan leaves and stir fried kailan stems and was a crowd favourite.

Their 🥘 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱 ($𝟯𝟮) was served in a claypot filled to the brim with half a fish head and a generous amount of fried beancurd puffs, eggplants, lady’s fingers and long beans. The curry gravy was so flavourful and not too spicy, you would definitely want to drench a bowl of rice with it. 🤤🍛

(S: $16, M: $24) Pork spare ribs coated with wok master special honey sambal sauce was an interesting sweet-spicy combination, but we weren’t the biggest fans of it.

(S: $14, M: $20) a gorgeously arranged plate of homemade tofu with mayonnaise and special chicken floss. Homemade tofu is always a must order for us at any zi char place and sets the bar for how good their zichar is. Wok Master’s one was eggy and smooth, we would re order this.

Wok Master Special Triple Dessert ($6.80)
Coffee, milk, tea pudding with red bean, cendol and attap seed. The coffee pudding was intense! And the textures very smooth and enjoyable.
Mango pomelo sago ($6.20) Could have been smoother, had a very fibrous texture

(S: $16, M: $24) Diced chicken, basil, ginger and garlic, on the saltier side.

(S: $20, M:$30) was very creamy could have been more seasoned and flavourful.
