Cheap & Good

I love how the soup soaks up the noodles and slightly thickens as a result of all the excess flour. The flavour of the soup also takes on the other ingredients and ends up being such a wonderful mix of flavours that makes each mouthful a dream!

Heard so much about this famous stall and finally got a chance to try this. I went with the meatball combination and added the sze chuan vegetables to that extra texture and flavour. The noodles are cooked perfectly and the sauce that goes with the dry version gives it this super glossy coating! The soup provided on the side is super good too! All in all... a great dish to enjoy on a rainy day!

You’ll find this dish on every table at JB Ah Meng, and for good reason. Only recently discovered this style of dish and am loving it.

It’s not easy to make this ingredient work, but I’m sure this dish will silence the harshest brussel sprout critic. The pickled onions help cut through the rich coating that worked so well with the perfectly cooked sprouts. It wasn’t overly bitter, and was helped by the sweet glaze that made me wanting more!

I’ve not been the biggest fan for Mexican food, but this meal might have just made me one! If you’re heading down on Tuesdays, enjoy their Taco Tuesday promotion of $3.50 per taco and choose from their wide selection. I’ll recommend the Fried Chicken for sure, and the Slow Braised Pork Belly!!

I’m a big fan of this dish, the prawns were fresh and the toufu was silky smooth. Let’s not forget the sauce which was super tasty with bits of spring onions that goes perfectly with your claypot rice!

Tucked away in the middle of Geylang, is this no frills shop that warns you of a 30mins and upwards wait if you do not preorder your claypot rice. There are no menus, other than the signboard along the walls. They are really generous with the toppings and the rice is cooked really well! Definitely check it out when you can!

A great place to come and get your late night BCM fix if you’re around the Bugis area. Love how they have the bits of fried pork lard and make sure you get a good serving of vinegar to go with the noodles! Very satisfying!

Super fragrant with the batter, curry leaves, and chilli. You can really taste the butter and I believe some milk powder too... however the squid was a little too thin for the batter which resulted in a hard chewy texture. Perhaps ordering this with some pork or chicken would’ve been better...

One of the better dishes we ordered, this dish was full of the prawn flavour and came freshly fried! Definitely order this when you are here!

Nothing like a good hot plate of toufu with your zi char dinner. This dish came all bubbly with the egg all fluffed up, and it went perfect with the rice.

I’m not the biggest fan of pig kidneys and livers, but you can easily see why this dish is Super popular and the broth is really quite something! I’ll probably order a less adventurous version of just the pork slices the next time round, cause it was nice and tender that goes so well with the broth and soft mee sua!
