Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

I recently visited Zhup Zhup and had a wonderful meal that left me feeling truly satisfied. I decided to try their prawn noodles (dry with soup on the side), prawn 泡饭, and ngoh hiong, and I’m so excited to share my experience.

Prawn Noodles (Dry)
The dry prawn noodles were a treat. The noodles had a lovely bounce to them, and they were perfectly coated in the sauce—just the right amount, not overly oily. The fried shallots on top added a delightful crunch, and the bean sprouts were fresh and crisp, balancing the richness of the noodles beautifully. I also appreciated the little kick of spiciness from the chilli, which gave the dish an exciting twist. The soup was light yet flavorful, with the prawn essence really shining through. It was comforting and warm, especially on the side of the more intense dry noodles.

Prawn 泡饭
If you’re looking for comfort food, this is it! The prawn 泡饭 came bubbling in a claypot, and the aroma was heavenly. The prawns were plump and juicy, and the soup had such a deep, rich flavor that you could tell it had been simmered to perfection. The rice soaked up the broth beautifully, creating a soft, comforting dish that warms you from the inside out. It’s the kind of dish that makes you feel cozy and happy with each spoonful.

Ngoh Hiong Platter
The ngoh hiong was an enjoyable side dish to complement the prawn-focused meal. Each piece was crispy and golden brown on the outside with a lovely, flavorful filling. My favorite was the prawn paste—it had the perfect balance of texture and taste. Paired with the dipping sauces, each bite was so satisfying and indulgent without feeling too heavy.

Final Thoughts: Zhup Zhup was such a pleasant discovery. Their prawn dishes were comforting, flavorful, and full of heart. Whether you're craving the hearty prawn noodles or the soothing prawn 泡饭, both dishes will leave you with that warm, fuzzy feeling. And the ngoh hiong was the perfect side to add some extra texture and variety. Definitely a place I’ll return to when I want a comforting, prawn-filled meal!

As with most stalls at Tampines Round Market, the food here is average. There're 2 places selling lor mee in this hawker centre (the other being Botak Lor Mee), and this has the heavier sauce, and less variety of ingredients. It comes with lots of battered fish (mostly batter), and half a braised egg. The lor is agreeably garlicky and vinegary, but otherwise unremarkable.

Lamb, chicken skin, pig skin. Their lamb skewers have failed us for the first time. Theirs were the best but this time the meat's rubbery. The chicken skin was oily. Remember to eat the pig skin fast before it hardens.

Good flavour and fried well, but the meat could be more tender.

I recently dined at Meadesmoore steakhouse and had a great experience. The meal began with a beer tartar that was fresh and flavorful, a unique start to the evening. For the main course, I enjoyed a perfectly cooked medium rare beef, juicy and tender, paired with broccolini that was crisp and well-seasoned. For dessert, the home made tiramisu was creamy and left me wanting for more.

I've been overseas for 2 months and yk what I really miss? A darn good kopi peng🥹 like this 𝐀𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐊𝐨𝐩𝐢 ($𝟑). But if you prefer lattes, get them unflavoured because the 𝐏𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐨 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞 ($𝟒.𝟓𝟎) and 𝐌𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞 ($𝟒.𝟓𝟎) were mild tasting but smooth.

We were intrigued by their innovative toasts so we got some to try🍞🍞 𝐑𝐮𝐦 & 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 ($𝟑.𝟓𝟎) reminded me of Japanese cream sandos! The cream was fresh🍼 and had a strong rum taste. However, the v hyped 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 ($𝟑.𝟓𝟎) was too heavy on the butter and I found the 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐲 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 ($𝟑.𝟓𝟎) too perfumed😣

I had the pleasure of dining at Paradise Pizza, and the highlight of my meal was definitely the Mentaiko Pasta with Tobiko. The creamy sauce paired with the popping tobiko added such a fun, textured twist—every bite was a creamy, popping delight!

The pizzas were equally indulgent. The crispy sourdough base was the perfect canvas for the rich, cohesive flavours, making each slice irresistibly satisfying. Definitely a spot worth revisiting!
