Welcome to Marine Parade.

Not sweet at all so not my type.

Coffee Break with the colleagues, complete with Big Short Coffee’s current Spring 2025 menu!

No points for guessing what I got, because matcha items would always get my attention first. Hence, their Crema al Matcha ($9) was it for me. A decadent dessert in a cup with the slushie-like texture and balanced flavour of earthy matcha, sweet vanilla bean fragrance and delicate milky aroma. The crunchy coffee honeycomb toppings are the icing on the cake.

As a non-coffee drinker, I really enjoyed the Happy Harry ($8) as well. Love the gentle floral notes with the use of wildflowers rare honey, yummy red osmanthus jelly, layered with smooth blue pea flower cream and refreshing fresh coconut water as base. A thirst quencher to beat the heat~

There's always a fried chicken something, and here it is. Comes with slaw, romaine, maple syrup and chilli oil. Good!

I came quickly after seeing this new item. How to eat foie gras without torturing geese. Suggestive name too haha. Granted, the lab-grown foie gras isn't as strong as the real thing, but it's acceptable imo. Paired with beef skirt steak, cheddar, honey mustard and jalapeno relish. They went well together, but picking the All-Sorts bagel made things too complicated.

Real, large, crispy. But just a few pieces. Mouth still itchy.

One of the few places that serve both herbal and peppery BKT, and they’re good too. Always a Q at meal times, although service is very efficient so the wait is not long. Reasonable pricing for a non-hawker stall eating place.

Established since 1978 by Abdul Latiff Mohammed Kassim, this legendary stall serves what many consider to be the best rendition of its kind.

Slightly greasy, full on smoky aroma, this features yellow noodles tossed with cabbage, bean sprouts, green chili, diced potato, mutton cubes, chicken egg, and a side of cucumber glazed with tomato ketchup.

Has combined chewy tender soft crisp textures, with bold smoky meaty vegetal grainy salty savoury sweet spice flavour. The heat lingers on the palate, and the dish is balanced enough to make you crave more.

Cool aesthetic

Yong Huat Delight has earned its reputation for velvety smooth chee cheong fun, freshly steamed upon order. Each delicate rice roll is soft yet satisfyingly packed with turnip and succulent shrimp, offering a delightful contrast of textures. A generous topping of chye poh (preserved radish) adds a welcome crunch, while their signature blend of savoury sauce ties everything together in a harmony of flavours. Beyond their famed chee cheong fun, they also serve warm, comforting bowls of congee.

Auntie Peng's banana pie at Katong Mall is a must-try!
For just $3.30 a slice, you get this amazing crispy crust with a nutty umami flavour and the perfect soft banana texture.
It’s absolutely best when it’s fresh out of the oven – totally delicious!
