Smelly Beancurd Didn’t know we have smelly Beancurd in Singapore. The beancurd was deep-fried and the exterior comes with a light crisp with the interior soft and good to go with the sauces. Though they served Hong Kong Dishes, they still manage to fix my Fermented Beancurd Cravings in Taiwan. If you are craving for Smelly Beancurd, do visit them.

Salt & Pepper Sotong Deep fried sotong coated in their homemade spicy salt and pepper seasoning, which made it super fragrant and tasty. You can’t stop chewy them.

Dry Fried Beef Hor Fun I’m actually surprised with the size of the sliced beef given, they are all consider very big and good texture. You can find many of them in it as well. Overall the wok hey was done pretty good.

CRAB BEE HOON ✨Hidden Old School Kopitam at Geylang raved by famous Foodies serving Seafood and accepts Credit Card😂✨ … 💡: For their Seafood Tze Char be prepared to wait ‼️ ordered at 630pm, crab bee hoon served at 745pm 🫣 it’s a One-Man Show 👨‍🍳 📍: 659-661 Lor 35 Geylang, Singapore 389589 💰 : ~ $112 (crab bee hoon, vege, 2 coke - not the cheapest to note😂 but cai fan items are ok!) … Visited by Anthony Bourdain and other famed local foodies + on michelin guide 👅 but most imptly it’s my husbando’s regular go-to cai fan stall since young ☺️ He insisted i have to try the crab bee boon here so this is my first time😊 the crab is cooked tender peeled off skin 💗 the bee hoon is thickly coated by the savory sweet sauce infused with the umami crab flavor 🦀

Duck Porridge I don’t always eat duck rice but when I do, I get a bit overambitious? Had all these to myself and it was $9. Probably not the most affordable around but it was at least satisfying. A good portion of juicy duck meat, and tender duck liver, generously drenched with the thick savory-sweet braised gravy! Their chili was pretty shiok too.

Turtle Soup Every other turtle soup just taste like your normal bak Kut teh herbal soup. They don’t impress me cause I might as well drink bkt instead. This is the only place I will go and I do have my cravings cause the soup is just out of this world tasty. You can taste the chinese wine and herbs, Chili is amazing & more portion of turtle meat here unlike other places. When people ask me how does turtle soup taste like? Most places just taste of your normal herbal soup & turtle meat is soft, tender & chewy! Its heaty for us but also good at the same time so drink in moderation. . 📍 : 659 Lorong 35 Geylang, 389589 💵 : $35 for this bowl that feeds 3. 👄 : Will I return? Yes! . 🌟 : Tips - Soup is refillable! Opens 9.30am – 4pm daily. Closed on alternate Wednesday. I remember that they are usually sold out by 2pm.

Pandan Roll Nice pandan fragrance with light & milky cream. Gula melaka jelly is not too sweet, overall sweetness just nice! Will purchase again👍🏻

Matcha & Strawberry ShortCake Matcha 💚 & Strawberry 🍓 ShortCake 🎂 ($8.30) (4/5) from Dulcet & Studio I saw it at taka (tampopo) & they recently opened at i12katong. So I decided to buy cake for own celebration so I bought the cake from Orchard, gr.id to Jewel. I felt that it was quite creamy as they put a lot of fresh cream with strawberry inside the cake. I really like their fresh strawberry inside the cake and top of the cake. Matcha cream was really decent and not that strong taste tbh. I didn't expected that the cake can last long ard 7 hrs without the fridge even though its melted a bit from the surface of the cake. I do never it again but i wanted to retake photo of the cake next time with proper plate (mean I will be getting the cake nxt time if I passby the area again) 🙂

Sweet Potato Cake [$5.90] and Mont Blanc [$7] Saw these cute cakes and couldn’t resist (got these for my family). They looked not bad. The left one is a sweet potato cake and the one on the right is a Mont Blanc. Kinda regret it though, it has wayyy too much cream (it’s like 80%-90% vanilla cream) and so much dairy that I feel quite ill and definitely can’t finish these. Probably wouldn’t recommend. There’s hardly any cake. It’s mostly all cream. The mont blanc doesn’t have much of a chestnut flavour. The sweet potato cake tasted like Chinese dessert (orh nee). I really feel like the cakes tasted more like Chinese dessert rather than Japanese or French desserts. The search for a good Mont Blanc continues.

Mont Blanc Delicate strands of French chestnut cream piped onto a shortcake of chantilly and sliced Japanese chestnuts. Not a fan of Mont Blanc, but this cake may just start to change me. The Chestnut cream was light & Fluffy texture, tasted Mildly flavourful and creamy. Strawberries were fresh as well.

Flor Patisserie -

A Japanese milk coffee Not your usual latte or cappuccino, more inclined to the usual though good enough for a caffeine fix, quite strong in fact. Good ambience, was a quiet, wish they open earlier in the morning.

Houjicha Shiratama Parfait ($7.50) | Houjicha Chiffon Cake Parfait ($7.80) The houjicha soft serve is easily one of my favourites with just the right amount of sweetness. Between the two, I preferred the Chiffon Cake Parfait. The matcha chiffon cake was very fluffy and light on the palate without overpowering the houjicha soft serve! The Shiramata Parfait was nice as well, with a very generous amount of mochi with kinako powder. Bought these with the one for one offer, so it was really worth it! But the portions could have been bigger for $7.50

The epitome of matcha Very well known for delivering authentic matcha dessert, who could have miss this! 👉 🥤O-matcha (medium) $5.50 🍸Tsujiri shaved ice $7.80 Both are tasty & refreshing. Perfect for matcha lovers.😍 Only 2 outlets left, do support them!

Iced Houjicha Latte Hard to get a good cuppa . However this is one of the rare ones which I adore alot as there isn't any bitter aftertaste to it unlike the one from Starbucks

Specialty Dry Mee Sua @ BK Eating House! Affordable coffeeshop food is quite a rare find in CBD! But circular road is littered with some of these pocket-friendly lunch options. This dry mee sua ($4) has a substantial amount of noodles &ingredients. The ikan bilis were extra crispy. Right amount of vinegar too! Icing on top of the cake? The uncle is really friendly &humourous. Makes queuing in the warm afternoon alot more bearable.

Dry Mee Sua ($4) Basically bak chor mee, except this stall specialises in using mee Sua instead of the usual meepok meekia etc. Quite average to me but seems to be popular with the office lunch crowd.

Bak Chor Mee Sua. Bak Chor Mee Sua. Went to try this recommendation by @jermmms and I love it! The thin noodles are a little sticky with their dressing of vinegar and chilli, and when eaten in large mouthfuls with crispy ikan bilis and minced pork, it's just damn shiok. #noodles #bcm #meesua #bakchormee #pork #sgfood #foodporn #ilovemyjob

Lunch Buffet (16) $55++ Pulut Hitam. Sweetened black glutinous rice with salted coconut milk. Oh my this was amazing. So glad I finished my gut bursting buffet with this. Thou I was filled to the brim, this was good enough that my stomach miraculously made more room and I finished the whole bowl. The only dishes I didn’t order were the Nonya Bacon Fried Rice And Burbur Cha Cha. Also, this place had complimentary parking, which I found out abt too late. But 12 lots only so first come first serve.

Lunch Buffet (15) $55++ Chendol Coconut Ice Cream. This was a really sweet dessert, thou all the essential Chendol flavors were present. Coconut ice cream was sweet but decent.

Lunch Buffet (14) $55++ Kek Lapis. I know this cake as Kueh Lapis. Not sweet. Had a salty taste actually. Not sure why.

Dim Sum Lost count of the number of times I have patronised this place for dim sum! This is the go-to place whenever I feel like eating dimsum, but sick of the dimsum near to my house (there are around 7 famous dim sum shops near my place lol), because the prices here are considered affordable (as compared to the more famous dim sum shops). Was also having sore throat during the day of the visit, hence it explains all the steamed dimsum selected here! The best find was the steamed carrot cake!! It was exceptionally good (have always been ordering the fried carrot cake previously, so happy to discover this gem)! The chee cheong fan was also smooth! The worst item here was the beancurd roll. The fillings seemed pink and sticky... I don't even know if it was cooked LOL Location: 1012 Upper Serangoon Rd, #1012, Singapore 534750 Complete your foodie trip visit by heading to Yong's Teochew Kueh to get some kueh back home! My favourite kueh here is hands down the YAM KUEH!

Rather Pricey Dim Sum Highly recommend the steamed carrot cake. Almost like beancurd texture with chinese sausage bits embedded in it. More value for money if u compare with the HarGao & SiewMai The Lo Mai Gai(steamed chicken glutinous rice) was not bad and looks very good as well. Chee cheong fan portion was quite good as well, and texture was silky smooth. Overall was quite Pricey. 1) Har gao @$4 for 3 pieces 2) Siew Mai @ $3.60 for 3 pieces 3) Steam carrot cake @ $3.20 4) Lo Mai gai @$3.20 5) Cheese Cheong Fun(prawn) @ $4

Best Steamed Carrot Cake I Have Ever Had! I have never been a huge fan of carrot cake. I had expected this dish to be unimpressively starchy and bland (as usual), but this rendition definitely proved me wrong with its rich flavour profile!!! The pudding-like carrot cake was soft yet bouncy, and contained generous pieces of Chinese cured meat (lap cheong) and fresh radish which gave the dish a very unique texture. The refreshing savoury sauce they doused all over the steamed carrot cake also was a huge flavour boost. I thought it tasted like a stronger version of the chee cheong fun sauce - which I have always been a HUGE fan of! 😂 Taste: 9/10 Price: 10/10 (This huge serving only set us back by $4. I would say most dishes at this humble dim sum eatery are extremely value for money) Ambience: 7/10

Pesto Cream Penne Very affordable pasta with satisfying portion. Lots of cheese and cream it can get pretty jelat after a while. The squid ink pasta (not pictured) is slightly salty and umami yet doesn’t have a strong squid ink smell if that’s what you are into

Crabmeat Al Granchio Combining the convenience of the location and the month long craving for pasta, I swung by quickly to have late lunch after running errands. As usual, the food is comforting and the portion is generous with chunks of crabmeat at every bite. Even when I was done with the carbs, there was enough sauce for another serving of pasta. Really generous. I have to say, over the past 5 years, the taste is consistently good and the price is still pocket friendly. Soon, we may not have the privilege of a dine in experience, but while we can, be thankful for the staff that continues to serve, the warm food that is served straight from the kitchen, the freedom to dwell outdoors.

Spaghetti Marinara from The Wicked Garlic! This dish came wrapped in baking paper. Not sure if baking it provided any more flavour than just cooking it in a pan, or if it was merely for fancy presentation. The tomato sauce was tasty, but the seafood had sand in it. Overall, didn't feel the higher price was justified compared to their more affordable pastas! Price: $19 #halfeatenblog #thewickedgarlic #pasta #seafood #burpple

Thai fried fish with mango salad It was super crisp and fresh! Best ever by far for me!

Thai Gold Gobbler’s response to this: Nah, don’t bother. Is priced affordably but only maybe if you are nearby and are craving for Thai food. The green curry fried rice was wet and lumpy :( The steamed fish with chilli and lime is fresh but not that any of the dishes we tried blew us away.

Beancurd Soup Never heard of Thai Beancurd Soup and we decided to try it and find out what it is! It looked pretty unappetizing to be honest and it's taste was rather meh. Furthermore, we felt that it was rather overpriced, because the soup contained tofu, pork, cabbage and carrots but cost upward of $6! Nonetheless, it is the only non-spicy soup on the menu and if you are with friends who cannot tahan tomyum soup, this might be an option to consider!
