Welcome to North Bridge Road.

It was the height of Taytay mania when we were invited to @fattchoyeatinghouse, and of course they had something Swiftie themed. Yup, they created three cocktails and cheekily called the trio (Taylor’s Version). First up is a variation on Taylor’s fave cocktail, the French Blonde, which is the Tropical Blonde at Fatt Choy ($20++ a glass). ⠀
⠀
The other Swiftie cocktail that was more my Style is the I Knew You Were Trouble ($20++). A simple blend of whisky, soda water & sour plum, this sour & salty concoction was unexpectedly delicious. The sour & salty qualities of the sour plum heightened the notes of honey & grain from the whisky, while the whisky supplied most of the weight of the body. This charming cocktail definitely Enchanted me, and I’m glad this cocktail was Mine for the night.⠀

A mix of gin, Lillet Blanc, St Germain Elderflower Liqueur, pineapple and lemon juice, I know All Too Well how easy this fragrant & fruity number is to consume Swiftly. It’s citrusy, sour and rather refreshing, but the St Germain was definitely threatening to become overpowering, and the pineapple was mostly anonymous. Still, it’s a light little tipple, and maybe this is how Swift keeps her pipes in prime condition to perform sold out tours.⠀

Ordered their seasalt caramel chocolate cake. Was nice, very nice in fact. Cake was super fudgy and who don't like a sweet and savoury concoction...

It’s a tale of two noods here at @fattchoyeatinghouse, and the second nood was the Fatt Choy Dry Laksa ($20++), which is the new dry version of the Roxy Laksa that I’ve raved about back when The Kongsee was still in operation. The same incendiary yet indulgent laksa broth has been reduced in volume by way of stir frying the laksa with all the other ingredients, and the flavours are concentrated and made even more intense. The spice is a lurker, instead of hitting you in the face, it stays in the back of your throat before jumping you with its surprising spiciness.⠀
⠀
The tiger prawns were just as fresh as the ones from the Hokkien mee, and there some slices of tau pok to really make it feel like a laksa. The noodles were unfortunately overcooked, and if left for a few more moments they would’ve turned to mush. Still, I ain’t worried about that, because I believe that Fatt Choy will rapidly remedy this shortcoming.⠀

For the final time for now, thank you for the delicious hospitality @kevin._.ngan & @fattchoyeatinghouse!

It’s a tale of two noods here at @fattchoyeatinghouse, and we’re kicking things off with their Singapore Fried Hokkien Mee ($18++). A mouthwatering mess of egg, pork belly cubes, tiger prawns, squid and noodles are simmered together in a savoury stock and then fried in the same wok for that desired smoky sensation. ⠀
⠀
This Hokkien Mee was pretty delicious, with the stock sufficiently seasoning everything present on this plate. The prawns & squid were sufficiently fresh & cooked just right, while the natural odour of the pork belly was kept on the down low. The noodles were on the softer side, but they did absorb a lot of the savoury stock and that turns this noodle plate into a pretty palatable one. The sambal was fabulously fiery & salty, and I wish there was more of it.⠀

Chili crabcakes & mala kaarage are great, but what if I told you that they could be even better? Order a couple of carb dishes off @fattchoyeatinghouse Specials section to savour along with those small bites, and always get the Signature Pork Lard Fried Rice ($12++).

As for the Egg Fried Rice ($10++), it simply couldn’t compete against the hedonistic high of the sinful Signature Pork Lard Fried Rice, but it was excellent in its own right. Slick, fluffy grains of Taiwanese pearl rice are wok fried with lots of egg and fire, and the wok hei was certainly palpable with every grain of rice & bit of egg. That’s all there is to it and it’s really that simple, but in this case simplicity is sumptuous.⠀
⠀
Truth be told, I think Fatt Choy Eating House is missing out on big time by not offering smaller add on portions of either the kaarage or pork collar to both fried rices, making them individual meals. I fully understand & embrace the sharing plate concept that Fatt Choy is doing, but sometimes a man needs his own space. You feel me?⠀

Order a couple of carb dishes off @fattchoyeatinghouse Specials section to savour along with those small bites, and always get the Signature Pork Lard Fried Rice ($12++). This fried rice is surprisingly egg free, and is rice that’s been fried in a wok with an unholy amount of pork lard. The result is a super slick and sufficiently salty rice that’s smoky and studded with enough fried pork lard cubes to give an every nutritionist & dietitian in Singapore a heart attack. Top that off with a flow-y fried egg, and you have the REAL heart attack fried rice. Now, all I need with this Signature Pork Lard Fried Rice is some of that majestic mala sauce that went on the Sichuan dumplings.⠀

my dad was OBSESSED with how thin and crispy the tortilla chips were😂 first time finding nachos not surfeiting!

BIRRIA BEEF QUESADILLAS ($18) had generous amounts of shredded short rib & brisket. v flavourful and juicy too!!

BARBACOA LAMB TACOS ($14 - 2pc)
one of the rare times i like lamb!!! so friggin yummy

For something equally scintillating that is on the menu, look no further than Fatt Choy’s Mala Kaarage ($12++). They took the Sichuan staple of La Zi Ji (deep fried chicken bits in mala seasoning & peppercorns) and made it better by making it meatier. They took har jeong kai (prawn paste chicken) and deep fried it, then tossed it in mala chili crisp and some Sichuan peppers. The juicy chicken thigh chunks are delightfully sapid from the shrimp paste that permeated every last bit of chicken, and the savoury spice of the mala in conjunction with the already succulent chicken sets off all the fabulous flavour fireworks. And the crunch from the batter-oh this Mala Karaage was truly phenomenal. Especially when consumed with a cold pint from its sister establishment @goodluckbeerhouse right next door. It was perfect.⠀

This here Chili Crab Cake isn’t on @fattchoyeatinghouse regular menu but it should be. A pair of absolutely stuffed crab cakes are doused in an eggy chili gravy and topped with a sizeable spoonful of ikura (salmon roe). The crab cake is stuffed full of shredded crabmeat that smelled and tasted clean, and all that mildly seasoned crab flesh was wrapped in a tastefully thin layer of breading. However, the crab cakes were a little too close to getting burnt and it started to taste a little like it. ⠀
⠀
Fortunately, the chili gravy was there to salvage the situation with its egg-cellent egginess. This eggy chili gravy was more vinegary than usual, and it’s one of the sharper renditions of chili crab I’ve tried. It’s also subtly spicy & sweet with a decent dash of saltiness, and the thickness on the gravy ensures that it sticks to whatever you spread it on. The ikura provides delectable pops of briny savouriness, and enhances the flavours of the crab cake & gravy with its umami.⠀

Found at the corner of the first floor, surprisingly manned by a bunch of young dudes. Waited about 20min for the food, says alot about their popularity. Food-wise, I liked the sogginess and wokhey of the noodles, and there were substantial squids, pork belly, and eggs as well. Remember to add on the lard! The only thing I was disappointed by was the chilli - was a rather weak punch and I would have preferred more spice and sourness.
