I got a long time never eat knife shaven noodle so decided to try it out with chicken flavour ($7.50). The cashier heard it wrongly that she give me beef flavour ๐ but I quickly that I told her it's chicken flavour and need to wait for another 15 mins to get another. The texture for noodle was quite thick and smooth but it's quite chewy and not that hard.

Healthier choice to choose this big bowl of wholemeal handmade noodles.
Decent upgrade from the typical U-Mian.
Not bad indeed.
From the dim sum stall. The popiah was very mushy, with considerable mushroom. I've reviewed the carrot cake previously. It's the Cantonese type - mushy, sausage, hae bee.
My second carrot cake in a day - one Western, one Eastern. More specifically, Cantonese, given it contains ingredients like sausage.
From the dim sum stall. I bought this with little expectations. Most curry baked goods are lame. But it's surprisingly good! Compact with an addictive sweet crust.
I have always liked the dimsum from Fortunate Restaurant (especially their char siew baos)! ๐ Sad to say, these bite-sized Custard Egg TARTS ($1.10 each) were quite a disappointment. ๐ฅ
.
The crust is pretty well done ๐ฏ - buttery & crunchy despite being left out for a while. ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป However, the egg custard leaned towards the sweet side & did not encompass enough of that eggy aroma. ๐
.
Overall a decent eat but sorry, my @taicheongsg still triumphs! โค
Havnt eaten ๆฟ้ข in a long while and this bowl of Handmade Noodles aka Ban Mian ($5.30) just got me wondering why it took me so long to savour it again! ๐๐๐
.
I especially liked that the noodles were springy with a firm bite without feeling too starchy or heavy! ๐๐๐ With simple ingredients such as chunks of minced meat, some chewy shimeiji mushrooms (hidden below the noodles), fresh greens & an (unfortunately overcooked) egg, this made quite a satisfying meal! ๐๐ป
.
The highlight for me has got to be the topping of crispy ikan bilis & aromatic fried shallots which instantly elevated the flavours of the soup by a few notches! ๐
.
For foodcourt standard, I guess this makes the cut. โ
Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee ($5.20)
Franchised, tastes quite standard over the different stalls. Noodles has decent amount of prawn broth taste, but prawns can be fresher. Tastes good with the lime and chilli. Served on the Opah leave, the noodles seem to smell and taste nicer!
Century egg porridge ($2.80)
Small bowl of porridge but it is very flavourful with sweetness of shredded chicken and the sesame oil. The biscuits add a nice crunch as well.
Good for people who are not that hungry.
Came by with a friendโs strong recommendation and I loved it! I canโt say for sure how authentic this is but it was addictive with a good heat and had a tingling numbness. I especially liked how it wasnโt too salty, but sufficiently savoury and flavourful! Itโs a little pricey but the portion of noodles was huge with an egg, pork chunks and vegetables. Be sure to toss them up quick to mix in the chili flakes and paste thoroughly. Think their noodles are handmade, but mine were a little soft - might be due to the takeaway. Will be back to have it again!

Food Republic, NEX
Pre-packed in banana leaf, a basic nasi lemak with fried ikan kuning, tasty chilli paste & few peanuts.
Each set bundled with hot drink $4 only.
Not bad.
The last time I ate their ha gau was many years ago at vivo but I remembered I enjoyed it. This was quite different from how I remembered it. The skin was thick and the sweetness of the prawns was missing.
1 for $2.20 and 2 for $3.80 from Fortun Ate restaurant. I got only one and I regretted it. This was really good. The paper was stuck to the chicken and was a bit difficult to remove, but it was worth all the hassle. The chicken was well seasoned and I could taste the ginger and wine used to marinate it.
But decided to have a sweet drink indulgence after a 2.5hrs long meeting this morning (with an endless list of follow-ups๐ช boooo). There is an ongoing promo between food republic and golden village now. Show ur digital gv membership card to get this sjora at $1.60 instead of $2! #sjora #foodrepublicsg #goldenvillagesg (not sponsored post. But pls feel free to sponsor ๐) #burpple #burpplesg
The secret to Li Xin's amazing fishballs lies in two things, top-grade fish meat and freshness. To maintain the highest quality, Li Xin's fishballs are made using only superior yellowtail fish and kept chilled in cold water but never frozen. This is the secret method used to keep the fishballs soft, bouncy and succulent. Besides making fishballs from scratch, thye also create their own chilli sauce and fry their own crispy lard.

This is like a mixed rice set with 4 vegetables and 1 humongous fried chicken thigh! The chicken was extremely crispy, tender and juicy inside out, it was served piping hot on my plate too.
๐ถ
The vegetables were amazingly tasty and the basmati rice was settled atop a huge chunk of cinnamon which emphasized the aromatic fragrances of the rice. This is my highly recommended dish to try at Nex Food Republic, hands (and feet) down!

Fortunate is also the big sister of Bao Today restaurant, which is why I felt that their Custard Bun reminded me of a really yummy Custard Bun I just had at Bao Today! Their Custard Buns are light and fluffy with filled to the brim with salted egg custardy goodness, grab a pair of their golden treasures at a very affordable $2.80. The bun itself had a strong and distinct pandan aroma and taste. Also try out their signature Crystal Bun $3.50 and Paper Wrap Chicken $2 per wing.

Pictured here, I had the BBQ Beef $7, don't forget to help yourself to the kimchi, my dining partners loved it and you should too! The beef was well seasoned and oozing with meaty juices. Paired with my favourite kind of seaweed soup, this makes the perfect rainy day dinner.
