This was my first time trying Hangzhou cuisine, and the dish that completely won me over was the Youbu Style Egg Cake.

I had never seen or tasted anything like it before. It's made fresh daily, and you can really tell. The outside had a light crispness, while the inside was soft, fluffy, and filled with egg and chicken. There wasn't anything overly complicated about it, yet every bite felt incredibly comforting. It reminded me that good food doesn't always need to be extravagant—sometimes, simplicity done well is what leaves the deepest impression.

I don't know if this is the traditional way it's made in Hangzhou, but if it is, I can absolutely understand why it's so well loved. It feels like the kind of breakfast that someone would lovingly prepare at home before starting the day.

Out of everything we ordered, this was easily my favourite. If I lived nearby, I could genuinely see myself dropping by just to have one for breakfast. It's warm, satisfying, wholesome, and filling without feeling too heavy. It's one of those dishes that quietly grows on you after every bite.

The rest of the meal was equally enjoyable. The Grandma's Secret Chicken & Pork Soup was comforting with a clean, naturally sweet broth, while the Shredded Pork Mixed Noodles and Old Shaoxing Steamed Soup Dumplings were both well executed. The Brown Sugar Glutinous Rice Cake made for a lovely ending, and both the Guava & Peach Drink and Lime Roselle Tea were refreshing complements to the meal.

What also stood out was the service. The waitresses were attentive throughout our meal, regularly checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. It made the dining experience feel warm and welcoming.

For everything we ordered, the pricing felt very reasonable. The portions were satisfying, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the quality easily justified the cost. It felt like excellent value for money.

This meal has definitely sparked my curiosity about Hangzhou cuisine. It was a refreshing change from the Chinese cuisines I'm more familiar with, and if there's one dish I'd recommend to anyone visiting for the first time, it's the Youbu Style Egg Cake. I'd happily return just for that alone.

The House Chung Dam offers a thoughtfully curated dining experience, with an elegant yet comfortable ambience that makes it suitable for both casual occasions and more special evenings. The service was attentive and well-paced, with staff demonstrating professionalism and a good understanding of the menu.
What stood out most were the cuts—fresh, high-quality, and prepared with care, allowing the natural flavours to come through. The makgeolli was another highlight, smooth and well-balanced, complementing the meal beautifully. Overall, the freshness of the ingredients and the attention to detail made the experience both satisfying and memorable.
It is certainly a place I would revisit, especially for its consistent quality and well-executed Korean cuisine.

My friend and I ordered the Angus ribeye, prawn aligo olio, lamb ribs, cheesecake, and soup of the day. The portion for each main dish was huge, and I personally love the prawn aligo olio the most. The pasta was flavorful, and the prawns covered 1/3 of the dish!

The service was fantastic! The waiters and waitress were attentive. They will come to check on our dining experience now and then.

Overall, I enjoyed myself and will come back to try the rest of the dishes.

It was my first time trying HEY! I AM YOGOST.

The neatness and cleanliness of the store were the reasons why I was drawn in. The service staff was also pleasant and helpful in suggesting what my friend and I could order based on our preferences.

My friends and I ordered the Purple Rice Yogurt, Strawberry Yogurt, Watermelon Yo-tea, and Mango Yogurt. All were tasty! Watermelon yo-tea is my favorite because it tastes refreshing and is ideal for a hot and humid country like Singapore.

The price of the drinks was reasonable. I will come back for more!
