Looking for Cheap & Good places?

It's been some time since I've been to Chomp Chomp Food Centre, and I feel like the prices have risen quite a bit since 🫠 wonder if it's because it has become much more touristy that before 😂 Nonetheless, the food here is still pretty good! Here's what I've got:

Hokkien Mee ($5 medium portion) from Chia Keng Fried Hokkien Mee - many people don't seem to stand by this, but this portion we had was delicious! The portion may be smaller than usual, but it was packed with seafood flavour with every bite. There wasn't much alkaline flavour and it was starchy in a nice way. Prawns were a miss but the pork lard pieces were just glorious with the noodles 😍

Sambal Stingray ($20 medium portion) from Hai Wei Yuan - may be expensive, but they did give quite meaty pieces. There was little fishy odour and the meat was flaky, juicy and smoky! Sambal was not really spicy, but flavourful. Good enough to share among 3!

Oyster Omelette ($9 medium portion) from Ang Sa Lee - quite decent, the oysters were plump and fresh and there was alot more egg than flour in this rendition! Chilli was okay, just wished it was more savoury.

Pork and Chicken Satay and Chicken Wings from Traditional Hai Nam Fang - now these stole our hearts 😍 the satay meat were so smoky, flavourful and tender 🥹 perfect with the peanut pineapple satay sauce given. The chicken wings were also well flavourful and smoky too! Definitely a good sharing dish here!

Somehow drinks are in enormous portions 😂 this can be a place to consider having a good dinner with friends! Although it can be abit inconvenient to get to 😂

If you have not heard of YY Kafei Dian, then I will recommend you try out their kaya butter toast that they make in house and if you are lucky you will be able to order their sugared doughnuts which is unlike your neighbourhood kind. The doughnut has a nice bite to it, and it is neither dry nor dense. The sugar coating gives it a nice sweet finish but it’s all about the texture. The wifey also loves the claypot ee-mian while it’s the first time for me to try their dry hor fun which is at best decent.

(M - $3.90) I opt out for 0% sugar and less ice to reduce dilute for milk tea. I decided to want trying it out for their boba pearl ($1.20) for experience. But their milk tea taste not that bad tbh and got that tea strong aftertaste but boba pearl was quite chewy and not that hard.

Finally visited this recently famous ramen restaurant, @ramenya0103 that really makes you feel like you're in Japan! With just 8 seats in a tight space, expect long queues and waiting times. I queued for 1.5 hours at about 7.30pm on a weekday afternoon 🫠

I got the Tonkotsu Ramen Black ($12.80) which I felt was quite affordable with quite a few pieces of char siu. The main star of the show got to be the broth, as it was extremely thick (almost like a sauce) and it had so much umami flavours while not being too salty. We all agreed that we can definitely drink alot of the soup! Love that the garlic oil added extra umami as well. The noodles were alright, quite al dente. Char Siu was very tender and flavourful!

Definitely a great bowl of ramen, but really does not warrant the 1.5 hour wait. 30 minutes is the maximum I will wait for this!

Crisp still disappears after awhile, the onion was quite fragrant

affordable and actually filling. topped up $2 for sauteed veggies & miso soup. there was free barley tea too! but beef was aight.

one of my comfort HK meals! soup was a little too salty

massive portion and i loved the crispy batter! i liked that they gave sufficient sauce to coat each grain of rice. so many varieties of vege too. service was warm & space was small & homey :")

Henry's is a pretty popular chicken rice stall here at commonwealth, and with their the sheer overpowering % of roasted chicken hanging on display, u just know that the roasted chicken is more popular than the white steamed chicken

The roasted chicken here is rather good. Meat was tender and juicy.

The rice was flavourful and fragrant.

The chilli was rather Solid too.

Went to BLWH Seafood 3 weeks ago and ordered their Sambal Kang Kong ($10), Dry Ee Mee Small ($8), Claypot Tofu ($10), and their Prawn Paste Chicken ($12)!😇

Overall ratings 9/10! Food was good as I remembered, and it was super filling for 2 pax😁 Claypot Tofu was mid but the other dishes were 🔥 What's even better is that you can pay by CDC vouchers so + points for that😍 Would definitely head back again!

From Saizeriya
The BBQ sauce pork ribs were tender and flavorful, perfectly complemented by the sides of corn, spinach, and potato wedges.
The seasonal promotion offered a delicious and satisfying meal.

Another renowned store in Golden Mile, this time serving a dry beehoon with chilli sauce. Think Satay Beehoon but instead of satay sauce it's a chilli mixture sauce. Taste was pretty good, but for $4.50 i thought the ingredients could be more generous. Would eat this if I had the craving and queue was short, but this isn't a store I would travel all the way to Golden Mile for.
