Welcome to Jurong West.

It’s Fri-YAY and you already know where to find me — standing in line at Boon Lay hawker centre for that legendary nasi lemak!
Freshly fried, piping hot and worth every minute of the wait. Their otah? Ultra soft and moist, with distinct chunks of meat ~ totally irresistible! 🫶🏻

Spring is upon us.

Back again for the second time; I am still amazed by their impeccable service and thoughtful menu. Na Oh’s latest 4-course prix fixe ($78) was a beautifully refined line-up. Still loving their signature starters, I enjoyed the silky Homemade Tofu with Aged Soy Sauce as well as the yummy (even better than I remembered) Buckwheat and Mugunji Jeon with their Salad of Today’s Harvested Lettuces immensely.

However, the final appetiser, which was the Ginseng Chicken Naengchae with Fresh Bamboo Shoot, and Minari was incredibly done. Think amazingly succulent poached chicken with savoury chilled pine nut sauce, crunchy sweet bamboo shoots. Charming, creamy and clean.

After which, diners can choose between three main courses from the ‘Jinjitsang’, each paired with delightful banchan (side dishes). I got the Spring Vegetable Bibimbap Cooked in Gamasot with Soup of Assorted Sprouts, served alongside Salted Pollock Roe and Sesame Leaf. And my mom got the Chilled Homemade Wheat Noodles with Crab and Brisket Beef Broth enriched with Soy Milk plated together Charcoal-Grilled Deodeok, Chonggak Kimchi.

A week’s worth of greens, the Bibimbap was so surprisingly good. Lots of textures and the spicy-sweet umami gochujang-based sauce tied everything together nicely. [Tau geh haters will not enjoy the soup with the set though.] As for the banchan, the marinated cucumber and lotus root coated in a blend of tofu, cashew nut and ‘ssuk’ Mugwort was lovely.

For dessert, the Misugaru and Cherry Ice Cream Sandwich was fragrant, nutty and tangy.

This might sound a little unexpected, but the highlight of our dinner at this popular hot pot place? The desserts! We’re completely obsessed with these golden, crispy sesame balls freshly fried to perfection [upon order], filled with the dreamiest sweet peanut 🥜 filling and made even better with a dip in creamy condensed milk. Pure. Dessert. Bliss. ❤️

FW: Macs is macs 10/10

XY: I love their curry sauce. Sometimes I get cravings for their fillet O fish or mcspicyy.

Mixed beehoon and noodles, with curry veges + taiwan sausage + chicken wing. Total $5.70. Noodles were great, but the beehoon was soaked in the curry gravy so I regret choosing the curry, though the curry vege itself was delicious. Sausage and chicken wing was normal. Quite overpriced I would say, and nothing outstanding.

Established since May 2004 by Karry Mock, this fast-casual chain has grown to over 20 outlets across Singapore.
.
Their rendition is usually consistent across stalls, with yellow noodles tossed with bean sprouts, chye sim / Chinese flowering cabbage, beef cubes, chicken egg, fish cake, and red chili.
.
Has soft chewy tender crisp textures, with robust smoky grainy salty meaty savoury vegetal sweet spice flavour.
.
Completed with a fried egg and sliced cucumbers. Their version veers towards 'wet' in style.

FW: That Keisuke hamburg experience was truly exceptional. The flavorful meat was perfectly cooked, and the accompanying rice had an irresistible gleam, making it look incredibly appetizing. It's a dish where the quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation really shine through.

XY: I think something went wrong in the kitchen, and we waited for almost 30 min for ours to reach. Yum Yum food, but I'm impatient so I'll rate it a 7.21/10.

They apologized and gave us free green tea.

Not gonna lie… the sight of this fish head is mildly terrifying. 😧 BUT — mum insists it’s the ultimate comfort food.
This red grouper is simmered in thick, flavourful curry gravy loaded with taupok [a.k.a. dried beancurd puff], ladyfingers, brinjal 🍆 and tomatoes 🍅.
The fish is fresh, meaty and perfect with a plate of fluffy white rice.

Such a gleeful sight!

Sweating it out in the hustle and bustle of a crowded coffeeshop. But wait… check out this glorious golden double egg yolk 🍳🍳 with basil pork rice 🌿 at this newly opened stall, right here in my neighborhood! Spicy level? Just a 1 — ‘cause I can’t handle the heat 🌶️🔥. 😬

A sweet treat to start the week right! 🫶🏻

Took my mum out for some quality time and we couldn’t resist this amazing 1-for-1 Senior Special on selected sundaes @SwensensSingapore! Available from 2pm to 4.30pm (Monday to Friday), it’s the perfect way to enjoy a little indulgence without breaking the bank. 🍦💕

Tried their fish ball kuay teow soup and fish ball noodle dry. The taste and portion is good.
