Chinatown Treats

This place obviously has some Japanese influence! The duck rice bento set is served here in a super instagrammable setting, with round balls of rice, onsen eggs, stewed radish and a soup served in miso bowl. The entire set was really yummy. I especially loved the stewed raffish and pickled vegetables which were so soft and melt in the mouth. The soup had a slight herbal taste profile which was so slurp worthy. #BurppleChinatown

A great option at Chinatown Complex is this Japanese stall which sells $8 unagi set meals. Not sure how this unagi compares to Man Man (cause I’ve never had Man Man unagi before), but I will just say that it’s really good for a hawker centre standard.

The unagi is soft and sweet, breaking apart easily with every bite. The portion was slightly small, but that was more of an advantage for me because now I can try all the other food options here 🤣🤣

$4 for this HUGE plate of food. That’s insane. On the plate we had a fried chicken, chap chye and long beans. Every dish was generous and well cooked, especially the chap chye which was so soft and sweet. It must have been stewed for hours! We also loved the fried chicken which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Do not forget about the SUPER TOKGONG CHILLI that complements every dish so well. #BurppleChinatown

Skipped the 'cafe brunch' for this local 'hawker style' dim sum at Tak Po. I still prefer Victor's Kitchen over Tak Po but oh well... This is still passable (: Priced at $20.55 for 2 pax (includes congee that is not pictured)
