Welcome to Lorong Kilat.

I’ve only been to 2 okonomiyaki specialty stores in sg - ajiya and seiwaa, and I much preferred ajiya.

The okonomiyaki here has a nice crispy base (formed mostly by the pork belly), and as it’s left on the heated countertop it remains piping hot throughout your meal. It’s creamy but not in a cloying manner, and flavourful - there’s sweet, savoury, and tangy. Wouldn’t be complete without okonomiyaki sauce and bonito flakes! I find it a little pricey given the ingredients (only 3-4 thin slices of pork belly, some tako and the various veggies in the eggy batter) but it was very enjoyable.

I looove this bowl of noodles. I’ve had it twice and I still think I will order this each time we’re here. The ramen could be have more of a bite, it’s rather soft. The yellow noodles made me worried that it would be alkaline-tasting, but it’s really not and the flavour comes mostly from the light soy+citrus (?) sauce. The sauce is savoury, tangy, and very refreshing because it’s cold. I don’t like ham and fake crabmeat so I would rather they replaced it, but I like the addition of the tobiko and crunchy cucumber, which further added to the refreshing taste of the dish.

I think this is a perfect dish to balance out the heavier flavours of the okonomiyaki and sides.

I’m not someone who loves mentai, I like it when I have it, but I wouldn’t actively want to order it, not sure why. But this was pretty good, I would order again! It’s very flavourful without being too salty or cheesy. And the slices of potato are thin enough such that it’s a nice snack, not too filling, yet not too thin that you feel ridiculous paying $12 for a plate of potatoes. The potatoes were soft but not mushy, save for a single piece that was a bit too crunchy (raw ish) for my liking. Served on a hot plate so your food is warm/hot even till the last piece.

I actually thought the Prime Rib could be more tender, but otherwise I very much enjoyed the broth. It has a good heat without being too peppery.

There are many other options to go for apart from the Prime Cut Rib, such as Sliced Pork, Liver & Kidney, Intestine & Stomach, Sliced Fish, etc. The friendly staff come around for fresh refills of the broth!

Apart from Rice ($1), diners can opt for Mee Sua to pair with the bak kut teh! The portion comes quite substantial and they offer soup refills for it too.

If you prefer convenience, Ya Hua offers the option of sliced pork instead of the boned ones. Pretty tender pieces here! They also offer Sliced Fish Soup ($9).

A simple dish done well, the steamed egg was done smooth and silky as its name! It was seasoned with light soy sauce.

Just had an ultra comforting dinner in the neighbourhood at Ya Hua Bak Kut Teh. It recently relocated to 7th Mile Coffeeshop at Toh Yi Drive, while its previous space was across the road alongside Micasa and Flagwhite Cafe.

I like that their Teochew-style clear BKT gives substantial heat but is also not done overly peppery. The soup comes with every option you can think of - Prime Cut Rib, Sliced Pork (which are what we had), Liver & Kidney, Intestine & Stomach, Sliced Fish, etc. & yes, they come around for fresh refills of the broth!

Sides you must try are their freshly fried crunchy You Tiao and Chilled Cucumber Salad. We wiped the latter quickly cause it was super refreshing, a little spicy and not oily!

Latte was nicely brewed with beautiful latte art! One of the must try coffee deal in Burpple! :)

Patronised c&c thanks to Burpple 1 for 1 beverages. Undeniably the cups are huge but not something I would pay full price for. Pictured above are the hojicha and matcha lattes at approx $8 each at regular price. However, it’s worth considering if you are looking for a place to hang out as it is really peaceful.
