Welcome to Kovan.

($10.60) I choose kochi yuzu and chrysanthemum (seasonal flavour). It's a been while that I went to bugis outlet. I never thought I passby their new branch at kovan. hmmm just nice that I passby there for dessert. I felt that it's quite disappointed for me tbh especially giving kochi yuzu used to be sorbet one at shaw towers but then turned to dairy version instead. chrysanthemum was quite milky and creamy but strong hint of flower.

($13.90) I choose different three flavour such as Awesomely Chocolate (best selling) got thick texture for chocolate flavour but at least got strong taste, Baileys & Bourbon got strong alcoholics taste to cover up some light flavour and Salted Speculoos I felt that it's quite sad that I didn't get to taste it out.

($5.50) I felt that it's quite comforting and not that filling dish. consisted decent fishball, fish cake, minced meat filling.

($4.30) I decided to add on buckwheat chew chew ($1.30) its quite refreshing tea but got strong roasted tea aftertaste.

love their variety of flavours, especially the yuzu. Their waffles are good too!

[KOVAN, SINGAPORE] Why did it take me so long to try this place??? Recently me and my friends decided to try out some peranakan food and the food here slaps hard 😍

There is one dish you MUST order, and that is their Honey Pork 🍯 ($12.80 for small). This dish was the ultimate flavour bomb. Sweet and savoury, the pork slices were very well executed due to its tender meat and the amount of sauce that is coated around it. It was incredibly smoky as well, without being bitter at all. Such an additive dish I can eat with rice alone!

The Bakwan Kepeting 🍗 ($12.80 for small) will be my next recommendation. Yes the soup might look plain, but it had a good comforting flavour that will make you go for seconds! This soup came with 5 HUGE meatballs that were tender, flavourful and of course, meaty.

Ayam Buah Keluak 🍫 ($15.80 for small) is another rice stealer, with a very thick, flavourful sauce that is just slightly spicy and sour. The earthy flavour comes deep from the buak keluak, and it's actually my first time trying this! Little did I know that it tastes like chocolate by itself??? However, I do have a gripe though... The chicken wasn't marinated long enough for the flavour to penetrate all the way in.

The Nyonya Chap Chye ($16.20 for large) was decent, nothing to shout out about. Do get their Nasi Kuning 🍚 ($1.40) to accompany all the dishes for that extra coconut kick!

With their comforting dishes and warm service, I'm definitely coming back for more 😍

Every time McGriddles comes back, it’s like a mini celebration. I always look forward to that sweet maple griddle cake and this stack version is pure breakfast chaos — two maple griddle cake, two crispy chicken bacon, egg, melty cheese and two chicken sausage patty all in one messy, glorious bite. Not something I’d eat daily but when McGriddles returns, it’s game on!

The Spanish Iberico pork is beautifully tender. Chinese sausage lends a fragrant sweetness, while a hint of salted fish delivers a bold, savoury contrast that elevates the dish’s complexity.

Cooked in a traditional claypot, the rice develops irresistible crispy bits at the bottom, adding a delightful crunch to each spoonful. Fresh greens on top offer a light, refreshing balance.

Feeling extra hungry? You can top up with more rice for just $1. This dish comfortably fed the three of us. A hearty, well-balanced and wholly satisfying meal 》$17.90 + $1 Rice

Ultra-crispy tau pok that shatters with every bite, holding a juicy, flavourful minced pork filling. The contrast between the airy crunch and tender pork makes for an unexpectedly delightful combination 》$7.90
