Ghim Moh market was closed today so we settled lunch at the nearby coffee shop. There was a relatively long queue at the popiah shop so I was inclined to try it. The serving size is small but at a relatively cheaper price (2 for $3). Popiah was flavourful but unbalanced to me as there was a lot of crispy bits and lesser turnip. Would be ideal for people who love the crispy bits in their popiah but I personally feel the turnips should be the bulk of it.
Nevertheless, a good meal and quick service!
Really love the fishy fragrance in the soup. Food hack: get an empty bowl, fish out the noodles and mix in the chilli! You get both the huge bowl of soup and chilli-laden noodles!!
Personally, I prefer this to the non-aircon side because the soup is less oily.
Just a simple dish but paired with the chilli it’s Magical. Definitely need the aircon to combat all that heat!! Noodles were extremely springy and thicker than the traditional wanton noodles. Wantons can be larger though.
One of the better thosai. Crispy and sufficiently sour. Daal is watery but goes well with the thosai. Lady is really nice!!! It’s in the 2nd aisle next to a Muslim shop.
Flavour is nice but less flavourful than the stall beside it (Yakadar). Rice is grainy and not too wet. The mutton is very tender with lots of tendon. I think they have the best mutton. Serving size is small.
Excited to try this because I’ve never been to soba specialty restaurants in Singapore. The soba had sort of a whole-wheat texture, which made it slightly harder. This helped to prevent it from being soggy in the hot soup! The soup base was salty but they provided a flask filled with bonito stock so you can adjust the saltiness. Price is quite steep imo but it is a place worth trying, if you want something different from the thousand ramen shops in the area.
Crispy, but lacking the sourness of a fermented dough. There’s a prata taste to it. They probably used the same oil to cook it. Daal was thick and flavourful!!
This is my go-to when Beach Road prawn mee at Marine Parade is too crowded. Although the prawn mee is slightly less flavourful than the one at Beach Road, the service (đź‘Ťđź‘Ťđź‘Ť) and ambience is awesome.
I am a very happy customer.
Plate of fried stuff you can always order at famous prawn noodle shops. Crispy and flavourful, it adds a good supplement to the delicious prawn noodles.
Good for value! Generous servings of fresh fish drizzled with sweet soy sauce. The avocado chunks added a creamy mouthfeel to the dish. Simple and comforting meal.
Was taken aback when this dish was served. Didn’t quite connect with what I thought tauhu telur was supposed to be. But interesting nonetheless. Springy to the touch and when you cut through it generous servings of tauhu spill out from this little ball. Might be worth a try if you haven’t had one of these before.
Not the typical slathered-with-kecap-manis type you’ll find in typical Indonesian restaurant chains around Singapore. But I really really enjoyed this!!! The spice blend was a harmonious mix of flavours: sweet, spicy, salty that tingled your tastebuds. The fragrances of the spices (lemongrass, chilli etc.) also came out very strongly.
I felt that this dish was an excellent embodiment of Indonesian cuisine.
