The dish that gave me the deepest impression was the chicken liver waffles. It was a harmonious mixture of flavours in your palette. Savoury from the chicken liver parfait, sweet from the date jam, and salty from the waffle crust. Certainly delightful!

The lamb steak was cooked to perfection, very tasty! Beware though, it can be a little too fatty or oily for some of us.

All in all, the food in this place was great. Wine selection was wholesome, and service was immaculate! Well done!

Unassuming wanton mee perfectly done by the guys at Chef Kang’s! Costing just $5, and with just the right amount of portion, this bowl of wanton mee is one of the best, if not the best, I have ever eaten. The queue has died down now but the standard is still at its tip top. Go support!

Aburi Salmon Don, priced at $13, was very value for money. It came with thick chunks of lightly seared marinated salmon. Rice was okay, though a little bit hard. Beyond promo was a steal!

New cafe in the hood, taking over the awfully chocolate cafe. Friendly staff, chill atmosphere. I ordered the Thus Breakfast. The eggs were poached and muffins nicely toasted. There were sides of baked beans, yoghurt, veggies, bacon and sausage. Distance is a little remote from the usual Upp Thomson stretch. A hidden gem, I would say.

The tuna belly is perfectly sliced, with a tinge of sweetness. As you chew on the tuna slice, close your eyes, appreciate it gradually dissolving in your mouth, sliding to the back of your throat. Close your eyes, the $5-a-piece tuna belly slice is now in your stomach. Yummy, as you showed off a huge grin on your face.

Oh I digressed. The wasabi pairs really well with the tuna belly. Strongly suspect that the wasabi is the real deal (i.e. Not horseradish; can someone verify?). The rice was really tasty, its temperature was perfect. Highly recommended!

Good food don't need no HQ pictures. For real, for real. The moment you know it's good food, you don't even take time to take a decent photo and actually get down as soon as possible to savour this bowl of sweet wholesomeness.

The prawn broth was thick and very sweet. The crayfish noodles was great, and the quantity was generous. They give 3 WHOLE crayfish cut into halves, and the meat was well cooked and fresh! It costs $13, which is quite a luxurious food item in a hawker centre.

If you'd like the best of the stall but still be a little more thrifty, I'll recommend you try the big prawn noodles instead. It costs $8, and though you'll need to peel the prawns yourselves, you'll find your effort has paid off as the prawns are really big, fresh, and sweet!

All their noodles come with a generous serving of clams, which definitely makes you feel like you get lots of bang for your buck. No complains there!

One observation is that the Fried Hokkien Mee stall opposite was also wearing the Sumo Big Prawn's tee shirts (go check it out if you're there). My friend and I wonder if they are affiliated in any sense, parents and son(s) maybe? Maybe one of y'all can be courageous enough to ask them for me! ;)

Overall, Sumo Big Prawn serves great dishes, with a prawn broth that is to-die-for. If you have any friends who aren't believers of prawn noodles, bring them here and you'll make him/her a worshipper.
Overall: quite impressed

Contrary to my friend's belief, it takes a lot to move me, but I always believe in giving credit where credit is due.

This new food outlet I believe, excelled in almost all aspect of their business. The restaurant decor was elegant, with large open glass windows that you could see what the chefs are making in the kitchen. The restaurant was spacious, offering indoor and outdoor seatings. The service crew has an amazing and pleasant attitude. It was always a nice moment interacting with them.

As for the food, we had their rainbow burger, called the Handsum Burg, their Between Two Buns (essentially cheeseburger - $12) and their battered Mushrooms.

Their rainbow burger ($20) was 10/10 instagrammable, and not just that, it was surprisingly good! I mean, the patty was juicy, the bun had a nice chew to it, and the spicy peanut butter sauce complemented the whole burger quite well, resulting in a well rounded, and while hearty, still not as jelak burger. Price wise, it is a little on the expensive side though.

The other dish worth mentioning is the fried mushrooms ($10 for 5). The fried skin on the outside was nice, and the mushroom was so juicy at every bite. Loved it.

I give credit to the crew for putting in tremendous effort in making the customers happy and occupied. They would go round asking if you needed anything, and are responsive to cues and requests.

While the area is a little out of the way and I've seen cafes come and go in a short time there, I truly wish them the best and continue to keep up the spirit!

Was I moved? You bet!

PS: don't stand outside while waiting. Got bitten by mosquitoes just now. >

Highly recommended.

I was intrigued by the open kitchen concept where everyone can see the Chef (Micah) preparing their food. The food was really good. I had the carbonara, and my Friend had the prawn pasta. The pasta was really fresh with a good bite. The carbonara came with fresh pork bits (not ham/bacon!) and the sauce was really savoury! The prawn pasta was equally impressive. :D

Don't miss this place out for a good dinner! Will definitely be back. ;)

Nice atmosphere, nice food. Staff was friendly, though feeling a little rushed from them. The food was great. Portions were huge, so I'd say it's quite worth the price. Ate till we dropped. 😅 total price for the meal was $50 for those items in the photo.
Value: 3.5/5
Taste: 3/5

This small little shop tucked at the back of Thomson Plaza serves value for money Japanese dishes. Their chirashi don is priced at an affordable rate of ~$12 with generous serving of fresh fish cuts and roe. The portion is slightly smaller than what is offered outside, but enough to fill your stomach. Their sushi platter looks amazing too! If you're not a sashimi fan, their smoked duck don is recommended.

Overall, the food here is value-for-money, and, albeit not amazing, does not disappoint. Do give this place a visit the next time you happen to be at Upp Thomson!

Had the omelette rice (plain) with a spinach, corn, bacon combo topping (~$17.60). Staff was friendly, they reminded us of waiting time, and helped us with clearing utensils and giving us small plates for our mini birthday celebration there for a friend.

The rice was not too bad. I must comment that the texture mixes well with the curry, ensuring the rice is well coated with their savoury curry; not too dry, not too soft. As for the egg, my Friend thought it will be wrapping the rice like an omurice, but it's just an omelette laid over a pile of rice. Nevertheless, the egg was well cooked.

Things are a little bit on the expensive side here though, despite the portions being quite small.

Salted egg everything here. Their salted egg yolk sauce is the best. No doubt about it. Everything about it is just so good. The right amount of saltiness, spiciness and sweetness. Super yummy!

This place is closed for renovation in the month of September. Do check it's Facebook for updates!
