Unatoto has opened a new outlet at Velocity@Novena Square! Feast on thick & plump slices of unagi laid atop Jap rice 🍚 with their Unajyu Large ($21++) - super shiok! 💯 Their Unadon Double ($15.50++) was equally satisfying!
.
Added $5++ for Value Set A (Soup 🥣 + Side dish) & we had their red miso soup, okra & kimchi.
.
For appetisers, I had their Umaki ($8++) 💛 & Ebi Tempura ($13++), the former being a moist rolled omelette 🍳 with unagi while the latter featured springy prawns 🍤 fried to the perfect crisp. I liked that the tempura didn't feel oily! Quench your thirst with their Hot Green Tea 🍵.

I thought it was my mistake for patronising Changi Famous Nasi Lemak at an off peak hour, but after having a rather dissatisfying meal, I checked google reviews and alas, there have really been some issues with standard. Firstly, the whole plate was stale and ingredients were cold. Granted the rice had a decent flavour and the sambal was just right (not perfectly spicy enough though), the entire plate was just lacklustre. Not forgetting how unpleasant the vibe of the whole stall was, I should’ve thought twice and went for the many other options there.

Har Cheong Gai (or shrimp paste chicken) is a standard dish in the local tzichar scene.

My usual qualm is that most stalls merely pay lip service and do not bring out the shrimp paste taste in the dish. There is no such complaint at HK Star though as the savoury rich and pungent shrimp paste literally permeates the entire dish. The distinctive fermented notes of the shrimp paste is prominent in both the batter and meat without being overwhelming.

This is a delectable dish that is good as a starter, main or as a side dish with alcohol.

This humble stall has been operating even before 2012, with locals returning time and again for their tasty desserts, friendly service, and affordable pricing.

Quite firm, almost tofu texture, and not too sweet

Not crispy, the fermented shrimp paste wasn't umami enough either even tho it's salty, and after adding fish they didn't add the noodles proportionally

However, it seems they're still the best cha ca la vong in Singapore?

The banh mi was quite decent, with the crackle. However too much bread inside, it's not hollowed out as it should be, so it's abit dry overall. The caramel pork had decent flavour but abit tough

Not many Chinese are familiar w this dish, it's basically chopped up and stir fried prata. In fact I rarely even see this on the menu normally, so I'm glad I found it here

Their mutton is good as ever. It's abit unfortunate that their prata texture isn't the best for kothu prata, it's somewhat soggy when stir fried. However the combination of eggs and spices still made this quite enjoyable

Operating since the early 1990s, this long-serving stall is known for their generous portions and wide variety of desserts.
