Great Mazesoba and Karaage! [RAFFLES PLACE, SINGAPORE] If you are looking for another ramen spot in CBD, @ramen_matsuri is another place to consider. I tried both their soup and dry ramen and I must say, I very much prefer their dry version. The Original Taiwan Mazesoba 🍜 ($14.80) boasts quite a variety of ingredients with thick cut noodles underneath. For me I feel like the noodles and seasoning sauce are very important in a mazesoba, and their rendition was superb. It had the right amount of savoury and meaty flavour that isn't too cloying, and can be further enhanced with a dash of vinegar they give at the side. With the acidity and chewy noodles, this was very addictive. Definitely one of the best mazesoba I've had. Extra noodles is FREE too!! I also tried their Yokohama Tonkotsu Ramen 🍜 ($16.80) and I must warn you that it's REALLY thick and meaty. The broth itself can be quite salty and incredibly meaty, which may not be for everyone. They use the same thick noodles that are very al dente. I must say, as much as I like such ramen broth, it really got quite cloying as the taste is quite one-dimensional. It's still decent ramen, but definitely not one of the best I've had! Please get their Karaage 🐔 ($5.50 for 2) as well, as these were chunky, meaty, juicy and yet so flavourful. Garlic Gyoza 🥟 ($8 for 6) was decent but nothing much to shout out about. Will come back whenever I crave for mazesoba 😋

👍🏻👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻

Torikoku Ajitama Ramen I didn't know they use a chicken-pork broth. But I'm not against chicken broths lah. My only gripe is the broth was excessively thick, almost starchy.

$9.90 mini meal!! comes w a mini burrito/bowl, mini fries and soft drink! didn’t expect it to be filling even tho everyt’s small

Tacos Legit Mexican fare. Love their new layout after renovation, lots of space and very chill. The Chipotle Salsa sauce is a must add to give an extra dimension in taste to your Tacos. Soft shell or hard shell? Your preference.

Fav Affordable Mexican food! Sets are a bit pricey but the portions are great! Although it doesn't look like a lot, but we always feel superrr full after going there! Highly recommend; I always crave theirs every now and then!

Premium Wagyu Bowl Kagoshima A4 wagyu beef, foie gras, uni, truffle and onsen egg- all in a bowl. Such a dream come true for me. Substantial premium ingredients given in this donburi makes this a very belly statisfying lunch.

Uni, Ikura And Negitoro Trio Donburi When I saw that I can have uni and ikura in a bowl, I knew this is the bowl for me! They offer very large portions of ikura and negitoro. I wish the uni can be more! Ingredients given are very fresh, sweet and interesting- the yellow stuff at the top is not the usual preserved ginger slices. It has a crunchy texture with fruity and sour malic acid flavours -I think it was green apple.

Foie Gras Wagyu Truffle Donburi All my favourite in a bowl. Live changing. Update: Had my second visit and it doesn’t taste as good as the first time I tried, consistency issue.

新加坡Chinatown美食大探秘，吃货的狂欢！ The Chinatown Complex Market & Food Centre in Singapore is a food lover’s paradise, with a dizzying array of delicious stalls. It’s home to some of Singapore’s one-Michelin-starred affordable eats and numerous top-rated local delicacies. Each visit feels like a treasure hunt. Cheng Ji’s Sauce Steamed Pine Fish Head is a favorite of mine, having visited over 20 times. Both my grandmother and I love it and often bring friends along. The fish head is fresh and tender, perfectly complemented by their signature sweet and sour bean sauce. Their dry-fried prawns are also a must-order. Maria’s Virgin Chicken requires advance booking for the whole chicken due to my grandmother’s age. Zhao Ji’s Hainanese Chicken Rice is quite good, with both the yellow and white chicken being very tender. I usually go for the yellow chicken leg rice, and my friend had one of the best chicken rice experiences here. An Zhen’s Thin Pancakes are recommended by Michelin. The pancakes are slightly sweet, but you can ask them to reduce the sugar. Their little golden cups are a must-try. Xi Jie’s Fried Kway Teow has a 20-minute wait, and while it’s quite tasty, it’s not the best I’ve had. Jia Ji’s zongzi (rice dumplings) are quite famous, especially the mung bean and salted egg zongzi, which can rank in the top three. The regular salted egg and pork zongzi must be thoroughly steamed to be delicious. Quan Neng Qiao Ma Ma’s Laksa has a great flavor, and their Bak Kut Teh (pork rib soup) has a very rich broth. There’s also a video from my visit in 2022. That day, I ate at Yue Lai, one of the best claypot cooking restaurants in Singapore. Mr. Jerald Chua has visited twice, and every dish there is a masterpiece.

Nasi Padang The Peranakan food stall has long gone, which I still miss it so much till these days. And just very recently, the formers stall has been taken over by this new Nasi Padang stall. Nasi Padang Beach Road said to have another stall along Beach Road, which I couldn’t identify which one of it. But their new stall here serves pretty decent dishes with their Nasi Padang. Love their Ayam Rempah here with the prawn cracker.

Egg Benedicts It was really a very chilly atmosphere to have your brunch/dinner there. Eggs Benedicts was pretty good& Previously had a Carbonara too! And it tasted SO GOOD. Definitely worth the travel & money!

Potent Chilli Crab Pasta Chillax massage cafe is a cosy cafe/bar tucked around the corner from chomp chomp. The Chilli crab pasta is particularly unique, lacking the typical sweetness and consistency of Chilli crab sauce, the sauce is a more savoury interpretation with a kick in the spiciness department. The salmon and sweet potato fries was well cooked as well. Overall, a nice place for some affordable western fare.

Skip the starters. Much better off with the mains here, definitely didn't disappoint at all. 😋 Chillax Carbonara - Rich and Creamy Texture Pasta with tons of bacon meat added inside, mix the egg yolk around to make the whole dish even more divine. Totally worth every calories! #Foodphotography #Sgfood

A quiet, peaceful cafe with nice view Located at top level of Jem. You can catch a glimpse of sunset if you go during the evening. Great place to hangout with friends especially for a catch-up. Tried the lavender and brown butter waffles, which are pretty decent.

Rooftop eatery with a nice view! We had the Thai Basil Pesto Pasta ($16) and the Truffle Cheese Pasta ($18). Portion was just nice. The Thai Basil Pesto Pasta's chicken was spicy and tasty. The Truffle Cheese Pasta was alright, would've appreciated it with bacon or an additional ingredient. For drinks we had a Matcha Latte ($6) and a Blue Pea Honey Latte ($7). The Matcha Latte was okay but the Blue Pea Honey Latte didn't have much of a taste. That aside, the best thing we would say we had was the Fried Cookie Dough with Gelato ($7.80) (we got the Apple Pie flavoured). It was delicious and extremely worth the price. We'll definitely be back for it! Since this place was tucked away at JEM's rooftop, there wasn't a crowd and the ambience was peaceful.

Good Food And Ambience Food and drinks were very worth it with the 1 for 1 burpple deal. The place was also very cozy, a good place to chill and rest away from the crowd.

Build Your Own Did a regular - 1 base, 1 protein, 4 sides ($12) Am pleasantly surprised that i do not have to pay more for salmon? Like salmon and chicken as protein cost the same?? And they gave a really huge piece of salmon im so thankful😭 i choose the chasoba with sesame dressing but cant really taste the dressing D: Had broccoli, kimchi, wakame and sweet potato as sides! They have quite a variety of sides too choose from. Felt that this was a really filling and satisfying meal - would come back if not for the price!

Salmon Poke Bowl My first try of soba in this style. Love it, refreshing and the egg does add flavours to the soba. It’s light for taste and quite filling.

Chicken Soba waited abit Long but happy! Healthy sobs taste, avocado ripe and not dry, wouldn’t mind to have this everyday if I’m not lazy to walk further.....

Vibrant Poke Bowls Delivered To Your Home T R E A T Vannessa, the co-founder and owner of @poketheorysg had gotten in touch with me to send poke bowls and other healthy bites. That’s how me and my family ended up with a hearty and unusually healthy (by my standards anyway 😂) lunch. I found their Poke Bowls travelled well as they were still cold to the touch when I received them (this matters a great deal since raw tuna and salmon are involved). Presentation didn’t suffer either - every item retained its fresh and attractive appearance, as though it had just been prepared a couple of minutes before. Whether you opt for their Signature Poke Bowls (S: $13.40 / Regular: $16 / Large: $19) or Customise one entirely tailored to your preference (which is what I did), you will receive a bowl brimming with quality ingredients and tastiness. It is a combination that has spelled continuous success for over the last four years for this locally-grown brand created by a pair of siblings. Fancy a Poke?

Light Bowl ($9.90) Got the smallest available size ($9.90). You can select a variety of greens, and up to 2 poke. I chose the spicy mayo salmon and mentaiko salmon, which were both very delicious. Topped it off with the free garnishes of garlic chips, furikake and tobiko. There is also a variety of sauces for you to choose from e.g. shoyu, spicy mayo etc. The completed bowl tastes so flavourful and yet healthy at the same time. The place is really cozy and the lunch crowd isn’t that bad as most people opt for takeaway. The staff were really friendly as well!

Build Your Own Bowl! Love the "build-your-own-bowl" concept, managed to build a colorful and savory bowl of poke that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Not Bad The char shao came highly recommended but I felt that it was a tad dry even though the seasoning was good. Loved the wantons in XO sauce though! Delightfully crispy and the springy filling was nicely seasoned. Sauce was yummy too! Noodles were al dente but the seasoning was very light (add chilli to amp up the flavour)! The free flow soup was also a bit salty btw.

Atas wanton mee with pork belly, wanton and more. Beautifully made char siew and pork belly 😋. There are two kinds of people - those who like their wanton mee with thin noodles (you mian) and those who like it a little thicker. We are starting to see more shops serving up wanton mee with springy, chewy and thicker noodles such as Eng's and Wanton Seng. Personally, both are nice as long as the noodles is Q. Thanks @burpplebeyondfans For the 1 for 1 deal!. Where is your favourite wanton mee store?. - 📍Seng's Noodles Bar 52 Amoy Street Nearest MRT: Telok Ayer (DTL), Tanjong Pagar (EWL)

Radish Cake The menu described it to be a lot better than it tasted. The radish are hidden underneath the eggs but it was too mushy than the normal radish cake which made eating it a little gelak after a while. We had the roast pork and the Sichuan dumplings as well. The roast pork is a must have, too busy eating that no picture was taken 🙈
