[Jalan Besar, Singapore 🇸🇬]

Mini Buns Double Cheese 迷你包-双芝士 (cream cheese & Parmesan 奶油乳酪 & 帕尔马干酪 (S$4)

The red and green rubies were fine but the coconut milk has turned abit sour alr

They did offer to waive the price of this tho

This wasn't too good. Too sweet, not much body, and the fish was very cheap

Quite a good version. Abit sweet but the noodles were chewy in a good way. There's wok hei as well

Overall pretty good

This is a very unique version. It's tender and gelatinous, but not in the same way as the normal good pork knuckles. Similarly the braised was very interesting as well, it's almost more meaty than sweet or savoury like most

Wtv the case it's a good version

Way too sweet, can't rlly taste much else

toast was buttery and came with 3 kinds of kaya: pandan, taro & thai milk tea! pls share this because dips are milky so will be jelat.

mango was super juicy and sweet🥭🥭 there's also mango sticky rice inside!

Now this is one hidden gem in town you need to go to! Despite being located just a stone throw away from orchard central, the prices, quality and portions were all really good 😍 Here were some of my favourites:

Deep Fried Chicken with Garlic ($8.50) - this is one of the best renditions I've had from a Thai restaurant. The batter was light and crispy, and the chicken inside stayed really moist and flavourful. This was extremely addictive 😍

Deep Fried Sliced Fish with Sweet and Sour Sauce ($16) - the fish slices were flaky and super crispy 😍 absolutely loved the sauce as it was tangy, making it not too surfeiting. A very good dish to order to share!

Olive Fried Rice ($8.50) - I loved how the rice was not clumpy and filled with savoury fermented olive flavour and some smokiness. The portion was pretty huge so you can order this to share!

All the dishes ordered were hits 🥹 I can't believe I only know of this place now! Definitely coming back to try other dishes 😍

Finally tried Korat Thai cafe, well known for being taken over by the Muttons just last year and their dedication to keep the menu as delicious as it was previously. I was pretty satisfied with this fun bowl of Tom Yum Mama that’s a simple crowd pleaser. Because who doesn’t like gathering around a hot pot and slurping up instant noodles? The sauce was on the creamier and tangy side, and it was not as spicy as I wish it could’ve been. The ingredients were pretty good - thick and meaty roast pork, bouncy meat balls, fresh prawns, sotong, and a dash of crab meat. If you’re sharing between 2, this is guaranteed to fill you, but if among 3, you would probably have some space to get other sides to share😛 Ambience is exactly what you’d expect from Orchard towers, literally just a space with plastic chairs and foldable tables that can allow for more flexible group arrangements. Staff are all pretty attentive!
