This has been my regular mlxg spot near work. Theirs is saucy and more heavily seasoned. Definitely make sure you opt for less oil and salt, because even though I usually do, it’s still more oily than the usuals 😂 I like that their ingredients are always fresh.

Rainy day weather calls for anything spicy (am I right)! It’s a flat $1.98/100gm for the mlxg here and was surprised by their range of ingredients to pick from. They even had my favorite veg that I’ve only seen at Gong Yuan Mala thus far. Pretty good bowl in terms of flavour, though it was really quite oily (and I actually requested for less oil). It’s much less in its numbness as well. Would get this again and specifically request for much, much less oil 😂 They also serve the zi char style dishes!

Tomato egg, assam stingray, lemon fish. An enjoyable caifan stall as always.
Quirky stall that sells white beehoon together with Korean food. It felt and looked unpromising, but it's surprisingly good. Flavourful.
I frequent here because it's one of the best caifan in the vicinity. Wide variety of dishes and many competent ones. Pork slices with garlic sprouts, hairy gourd, salted egg chicken, soy sauce chicken. I love garlic sprouts but the pork slices cmi. The girlfriend always orders salted egg chicken.
This is the popiah stall that I patronise the most due to its proximity to my home. Located at a corner of a coffee shop at Blk 407 Ang Mo Kio Ave 10, this humble stall produces decent popiahs to get my regular craving fixed.
Good:
• One of the cheapest popiahs you can find ($1.40 each)
• If you love garlic, this will be the popiah for you because the auntie puts a HEAPING teaspoon of minced garlic into each one
• Great textures - Sweet, tender turnips, crunchy cucumbers and slightly chewy skin
• Well-wrapped. The popiah slices held its shape and did not fall apart as I picked it up
Drawbacks:
• The standard of the skin is inconsistent for it sometimes lands itself on the dry side
• I would prefer the peanuts to be lined along the perimeter of the popiah rather than being concentrated in the center
Verdict: 3.5/5
