Eggslut sandwich for brunch at Overeasy: streaky bacon, creamy scrambled eggs, red cheddar, caramelised onions, chipotle mayo served with fries.
$7.90 for regular size. Felt like glass noodles so I requested to have the usual flat rice noodles replaced. It’s a lovely hole in the wall place run by a friendly family. Broth so flavourful I ended up drinking from the bowl. Got the youtiao and Vietnamese spring rolls too. Yum...
Dry ramen - with Spicy Minced Pork, Soft Boiled Egg, Seaweed Source Vegetables served with soup on side. At $12.90, it’s one of the most value for money quality ramen I’ve had in town. Love how the onsen egg in the middle adds to the texture of the dish when you break and mix it up. Come to think of it, the dish does have a bibimbap feel to it...
One of my favourite places for food yong tau foo, remember to request for fried pieces to be separated from the rest.
Available on the dinner menu for $23, this was aromatic and filling. The generous helping of mushrooms were delightfully crispy, as they had been dehydrated rather than cooked. This gave a nice texture to the dish, since mushroom risotto tends to be one big mush usually. The dill also gave a nice mouthfeel and a light fragrance that balanced out the slight heaviness of the grana padano in the risotto.

Har Cheong Gai means prawn paste batter fried chicken. This set was $6 for public, $5.50 for students (my friend got me the discount - it’s always good to have uni friends!). I got the achar, ikan bilis and long bean. Order was quick and food was filling though chicken pretty average. Will try the other menu items when I’m in the area.
Light and subtle flavours. I really like ginger so I would have preferred a stronger taste, but my friend who usually doesn’t actually enjoyed it so I guess it’s a good balance. The earl grey creme anglaise was light. Overall delightful...
Giant Xiao Long Bao! $4.80 per piece, Min order 2 pieces. Bear in mind there is no stuffing / meat in this dumpling. Flavourful subtle soup and the trembling dumpling is very boomerangable but I probably wouldn’t order it again. Fun experience to suck the hot soup through the straw though!
Olive fried rice /w truffle oil // kaki udon 🍥 // green tea soba noodles // fried yam rolls (soooo good) // mozzarella sushi 🍣 // avo tempura. Pretty satisfying spread even without the meat!! 💚💚💚 #burpple #vesakday

good friends I have huh 😊😊
So money I’d throw my money at it, the cheekily named Fwah! is a splendorous marriage of the common and the elevated. A sublimely seared slab of foie gras sits comfy on a cushion of plush toast spread thinly with house-made kaya so good that I wish there were more of it. A creamy scrambled egg – almost sauce-like in its consistency – tops everything for a languorous, luxurious finish. Ting bare bouff, you get me?
