Makan Lah! 🇲🇾 🇸🇬

Good wanton mee with really notable individual components

The springy noodles are likely cooked/soaked in lard before serving as it’s very rich in pork taste, not that I’m complaining 😋

Topped with crunchy kailan, 2 types of wanton - steamed & fried (I prefer the former one, really good and with generous filling), and their char siew (can be customized). Opted for the fatty char siew - too fatty but I still enjoyed it; will try half lean/half fat next time. Not to forget their lava egg which has a slight sweet hint :)

To note: got queue even if quite ulu!

Good value meal for the price with their generous amount of flavourful chicken (though sometimes served cold), grainy and flavourful rice, served with achar. Usually order with their chicken liver (+0.50), no metallic taste so I enjoy this a lot

Always one of my go-tos in Alexandra Village despite their snaking queue

They are back with their claypoooots (only on weekdays)! But that said, the taste seems subpar than how it used to be

Still creamy but lacking on the spice punch (chili sauce is readily available tho) and gravy is a bit watered down

Queue can still get long, while service is tad bit slow

First time in the far West, and would not miss the chance to have this bang for the buck loklok

Priced at $1 per stick, you are presented with a wide variety of choices. Each stick is glazed lightly, which works for me as taste is not too overpowering. Each item is deep fried but not overly oily as well

Comes with some sauces, including chili and condensed milk. Heard their salted egg sauce is nice, but yet to try

Woke up and decided to try a different variety (only on size lol) of kaya toast today

Not sandwiched and presented differently, this bread has kaya spread on top. Despite being thick, the bread is still nicely toasted yet still soft. Enjoyed the generous spread of kaya, though can be quite jelak after a few bites. Pair with teh or kopi!

I have missed Aspirasi! Used to have this few times a month when I was still staying in Hougang (and had to take Harbourfront MRT every night 💤)

Serving is still generous, and the grease is still how I remember it 😂 sambal has a slight nice kick (not too spicy). You get a free flow of crispy batter as well which pairs well with the rest

Clearly craving for this dish while stuck in my room today. Who would’ve thought I will still catch this virus after being immune for 3 friggin years 🙃

First time trying this and it didn’t disappoint! Served with generous seafood toppings. The sauce is creamy and gives a good slurpy feel. Very comforting dish

So cheap but good! This stall was recommended by a colleague, and with so much delay due to their long queue (always), finally got time to try it and it didn’t disappoint

We ordered a mix of white & black. Each has its own expected distinct flavor. Black has a more sweet profile, while the radish taste is really apparent with the white. Both are screaming wok hei 💯

Loved the black one more with its caramelised bits giving extra crispy texture to the dish

Got this twin set of steamed chicken, rice, bok choy and braised egg. Actually a decent choice despite being a very touristy food stop before they head off to Sentosa 😅 Generous serving of Hainanese chicken and fragrant (sometimes dry tho) rice

Love that they have dark soy sauce + ginger available on the side, unlike the usual chili sauce only

Tried their prata telur for a change. Quality is subpar compared to their prata kosong, imo - less fluff, less crisp, more oil absorption

Felt like the eggs have overpowered the taste as well and made it a bit bland

And yup, that’s another plate of plain prata behind - back to the OG 😅

Can’t get enough of Lye Bo’s revamped menu - I always have any of their dishes at least once a week lol. Latest addition to their menu is their noodles top with this big piece of pan fried pork belly. Melt-in-your-mouth goodness for the fat portion (mind the cholesterol), with the surprisingly really soft meat as well!

Onsen and noodles are 👌🏻

My love for hokkien mee has taken a backseat for a while since I do not have any good nearby options. Glad to chance upon Chef Goo’s as theirs is pretty decent

Dish is filling with its generous toppings - plump prawns though slightly overcooked are fresh, a few pork belly slices, lard, and some lala. It is on the wetter side (which I prefer), though the “broth” is a bit bland

Being a lazy ass, having that big of a prawn, I abhor the peeling part lol. Added in here (second photo) their peeled version ($6) which I enjoyed too, but not as much as the full one despite not doing the deshelling myself 😂
