Old school flavors from old school bakeries. You just can't get the same flavors from breadtalk or any other not so traditional bakeries. 6 for $8.50 much cheaper than breadtalk as well!

After the son took over the business, they expanded to many other branches even to Singapore. More opportunities to taste them but sadly the sons didn't master the skills from their dad. (Regret that I didn't use flash)

This Yong Tau Foo has a perpetual queue and its not hard to decipher. Of course all the items are prepare fresh in house, replenished frequent and stacked sky high in the display area. I have tried the laksa today but usually i will go for their infamous clear soup broth. The clear soup base resonant a combination of high quality ikan bilis, soy bean. The ikan bilis and soy bran combo is even available along with fried chopped garlic oil at the collection area for you to add to your soup. Besides all that, you definitely have to try the chee cheong fun. It's fresh and only very limited quantity each day.

If no one informed me, I would have never know that this curry is made with mock meat. It has that lard-y smell and taste of lamb curry that is so distinctive. The pooratha is prepared fresh to order. It comes to your table hot and most important of all, crispy! Pardon me, cause in my books it is detrimental when pooratha is served soggy!

This is not your run of the mill lontong. Its prepared by a local Chinese family. Yes. You heard me right. Their menu include Lontong, Mee Siam and Mee Rebus. First of all, the coconut broth is creamy and robust yet not over powering. The stewed trio of vegetable (cabbage, carrot and long beans) is cooked till tender but not mushed up. Tau kwa is fried perfectly. Rice cake and hard boiled egg is prepared fresh. Last but not least, the gem is the sambal that sits on top it all. When mixed into the coconut broth it renders that oh-so-subtle sweetness besides the spicy kick. Must try!

I heart thosai!!!! What is it about this crisp simpleton creation so inviting? Is it the tri-color sides? Which do you prefer? Take your pick from cool coconut chutney, Sweet tomato chutney, or savoury satisfying sambar that comes in a bowl so cutsie teeny. Oh. Did i mention that eating anything with your fingers makes us more innocent?

Have you ever tried this local creation? Stir fried ikan bilis tossed in fresh chilli and onion and a light drizzle of lime. How's that for ultimate beer bits?

Black or white? Who doesn't like this childhood titbit that had slowly masquerade into a pasar malam staple. If my picture hasn't entice you yet, it's because of my amateur photo taking skills doesn't do this little plate of peanut/sesame coated softies justice.

Eggplant, ladies fingers, long beans, snap peas stir fry in a dry sambal sauce. Divine!!!!
