Perhaps one of their signature mains is the Hoshino Spaghetti ($14.50), a fusion of Japanese pasta that has eggplant, bacon, Shimeji mushroom and sausage in it. This is nothing mind-blowing but comfort food on a plate, something that I will order again for a simple and fuss-free meal at Hoshino. Another one of their newer dishes is the beef steak with carbonara which is a great option if you want something creamy and meaty. Round off your meal with their pot-baked souffle that is almost cloud-like texture due to the combination of beaten egg whites with the smooth and rich custard.

On the day that I was there, I noticed a long queue forming at this particular stall which pique my interest and I joined in the queue as well. As I was itching nearer to the front of the queue, I overheard the couple who’s running the stall talking to each other that the pork ribs were running low. When it was finally my turn, I was fortunate to get the final bowl of this Pork Ribs Noodle ($4) with an additional braised egg ($0.50) while the long queue behind me sighed in disappointment. After doing a bit of research, this stall actually starts its operations early in the morning and sells out by noon time, especially for their braised pork ribs.

Their signature is without a doubt, the pork ribs that has been braising in a dark and thick liquid, probably for many hours, containing a mixture of spices such as star anise, cloves, garlic, cinnamon and five spice powder as you can really savour the herbal flavour that has penetrated into the meat. All the delicious descriptions that you can associate these braised pork ribs with can be found from this stall such as fall-off-the-bone tender, umami, gelatinous and super satisfying. Even without the noodles, the braising liquid and meat is good enough with a bowl of white rice.

Café as not only they offer a variety of mains, pasta and pizza dishes, they even have a selection of local favourites and an assortment of desserts and cakes. The one dish that is iconic to PS. Café and something that most people can associate them with are their Truffle Shoestring Fries and without much surprise, the image of this dish appears frequently in their page. With a not-so-overpowering truffle oil fragrance, these fries are so enjoyable to snack on that they come in two sizes; regular and halved. If you are dining as a group or just feel super hungry, you can consider the regular portion which comes in a mountain-sized portion with generous shavings of grated parmesan. These fries are so addictive that you cannot stop eating them despite feeling full. Another default dish that I have been ordering over the past few visits is their Chicken Rossa Penne, which comes with grilled chicken, smoked bacon, spinach and mixed mushrooms. What makes this dish work is the balance of flavours as you have the cheesiness from the cheese and tanginess from the garlic-tomato cream sauce.

Who wouldn’t like a good piece of chocolate brownie and even better when it contains scotch and nuts? This Scotch Pecan Brownie is mildly sweet, which is a good sign as there are many brownies out there that are just way too sweet that you instantly feel surfeited after a few bites. Additionally, the touch of sweetness from the scotch complements well with coffee, making it a perfect afternoon snack or you can have it as a dessert with a scoop of ice cream. To balance the overall texture and flavour, pecans are added into it which give it a nice crunch and bite. At such a young age, Deon is already able to achieve such great bakes and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for him as he starts leaving his mark in the industry. Thank you once again for letting me have the honour of tasting this wonderful brownie.

As the restaurant is relatively far away from my place, the best option at this moment is to have them delivered. Pictured are their signatures Moonlight Hor Fun and Coffee Pork Ribs, both i have reviewed previously and have many fond and tasty memories of. The first time for me are the deshelled salted egg prawns and spinach with ikon billis, which are good additions to balance the overall meal to have a seafood and vegetable dish. As you have guessed, i was truly stuffed by the end of the meal with the amount of food gifted by my friends.

Gifted by both Cecil @shootandspoon and Cassie @cassakating, they are out to stuff me with food because they not only send one but two donburi from Fat Cow. Each of these dons is accompanied with a chawanmushi and miso soup as well. First up is their signature, The Fat Cow Donburi which comes with a base of seasoned rice of truffle shoyu topped with charcoal-grilled wagyu, an onset egg, alfalfa and drizzled with truffle oil. If you love beef on rice, this is definitely right up your alley as the fatty and tender-to-the-bite wagyu slices with the creaminess mixed in from the onset egg is a perfect match with the fat rice. Best of all, you will not feel overly truffled, as they don’t just spam truffle, they make sure its just the right proportion so that you will not feel surfeited. Next up is the Fat Foa-Gura Don, which is constructed over a bed of steamed Japanese short-grain rice and topped with glazed foie gras and wagyu. I am guessing there has to be a reason why the restaurant is called Fat Cow because as you might know fat = flavour, and the foie gras-wagyu combination will definitely hit your palate with all the flavourful notes like music to your ears. Thank you both once again for this meal treat!

The journey to Dhoby Ghaut is definitely not near but the satisfaction that I get from biting into a Bacon Cheeseburger is just beyond any words that can be explained. It’s just unfortunate that they are not available for islandwide delivery, only to selected locations via GrabFood, but it also makes the excitement and anticipation all that higher as you have to personally travel all the way down to the restaurant to get the burgers, just like how Harold and Kumar makes the journey to White Castle in the movie. During the entire circuit breaker, I have had food that will leave you feeling satisfied and comforted, and Five Guys definitely ranks up there at the top. No trip to Five Guys is complete if you did not order any of their iconic and customisable burgers, with a side of their freshly cut potatoes that’s cooked in 100% peanut oil. And the golden question that might be on your mind, “how are the burgers and fries after all the travelling time?”, my answer to that is that the burgers that are wrapped in foil, is still warm and though the fries might have turned slightly soggy, it is still darn addictive.

Missing the Five Guys roasted peanuts that you can self service at their outlets? Fret not if you think that they have ceased this service, as you can request for a pack of these peanuts by asking from the staff during your order collection.

However, how good it is varying from stall to stall. At Dong Dong Mixed Vegetables Rice, they do an excellent version of the curry chicken, especially with the thick lemak gravy and the potatoes in it that have been cooking in the curry sauce for quite some time, making it soft and flavourful. Even though many people might think that the chicken in the curry to be the focus; to me, the potatoes and gravy play an important role in the overall dish, which Dong Dong Mixed Vegetables Rice executes that very well. Right now, you can order and get it delivered islandwide (minimum order of $20) with a delivery fee of $6 and if you order more than $80, you get to enjoy free delivery as well. For payment, they accept PayNow or PayLah to 8606 5585.

For a family meal, you can consider ordering the Small Curry Set ($15), suitable for 2-3 pax and this comes with rice and prata and Lor Bak Set ($18), suitable for 2-3 pax too, which comes with rice and vegetables. The former is their signature curry chicken wings and potatoes while the latter comes with a mixed braised platter of pork belly, tau pok, eggs and tau kwa. There is also the Sambal Snacker Platter ($5) which is a side of fishballs and eggs in their homemade ikan billis chilli, and you can even order additional baguette/jiam tao loti ($2) for your curry dipping.

Ratchada Thai Food has got you covered with their special 5-course set menu that is available from now to 30 June. The dishes are catered for 4 pax and it will definitely not burn a hole in your wallet as it only costs $78 nett, inclusive of delivery charges.

The highlight in this curated menu has got to be the Thai Style Green Curry Fish Head, a twist from the usual green curry that you will normally order from outside. Despite it being delivered, the fish meat is very fresh and still remains tender to the bite, a perfect complement with the creamy green curry gravy that packs a slight spicy punch. Just like other curries, this come with condiments such as eggplants and napa cabbage in it. To go alongside the green curry, you will also be getting the restaurant’s signature pork skewer, a stir-fry vegetable dish of broccoli, trio of mushrooms, egg white and fresh crab meat, wok fried flower clam with garlic chilli and last but not least, slow braised glass noodle. The latter especially, stole the show for the intense wok hei aroma and flavour that you will get from each strand of the vermicelli noodle while the generous amount of fresh giant prawns definitely gives this 5-course set menu the value-for-money tag.

To enjoy this 5 course set menu, do pre-order 2 days in advanced with Mr Sandy (9003 2819) or Dexter (9736 4447) and you can get an additional crispy tom yum fish skin with it.
