Tried this new seafood soup in the hood. Ordered their signature Seafood Soup with Batang and Crayfish.

The price is comparable to other similar seafood soup but they are much more generous with their portion. Batang fish was really fresh, and the minced meat was well marinated. The broth is on the lighter side but still tasty.

Overall a great and value for money meal.

Decided to try some rice dumplings from Joo Chiat Kim Choo as I was intrigued by their wide selections.

The rice dumplings were really delicious! Emperor’s Rice Dumpling was filled generously with premium ingredients, the Hokkien Rice Dumpling was well seasoned and flavourful, Hakka Rice Dumpling was not too bad either. My favourite was the Pulut Hitam Nonya Dumpling. A good balance of sweet and savouriness. Overall, great selections and flavours!

Decided to try One Prawn & Co after hearing raves. And they truly lived up to their name.

I ordered the Lala & Big Prawn soup with dry noodles. Soup was rich and savoury, every sip was packed with flavours. Noodles was well seasoned too with pork lard and fried shallots. Even though slightly on the pricey side, it’s worth the money with generous amount of prawns, clams, and free flow rich broth.

The ngoh hiang was a great addition too. I will recommend getting the tasting platter to go along.

And service was really good too!

Was craving for some comfort food and tried this new Fu Lin outlet at Suntec. Affordable, generous portion, and the same great selection of items.

There’s an option of either soup or dry and we chose the latter with our mountain of yong tau foo. Ingredients were well fried and drizzled with their signature gravy. The thick beehoon came in the same yummy gravy as well.

The taste was on the lighter side as compared to other outlets. Overall, great food for a comfort meal.

Decided to try this new modern Tze Char restaurant around the vicinity.

The first thing that caught my eyes was their interesting overall branding. A twist to various familiar nostalgic visual cues and this aspect of graphic expression is echoed throughout their dishes as well.

Tried their Pitan Tofu, XO Fish Soup, Nonya Curry Chicken, and Crispy Hor Fun. Dishes are on the slightly pricey side but they made up with the generous portions (More than enough for two to share).

The XO Fish Soup is great for those who enjoys a generous splash of XO in their fish soup. The flavours really come through with every sip. Curry Chicken was alright, slightly on the watery side. The Crispy Hor Fun's sauce was really flavourful and savoury, and the crispy version of the noodles is a really interesting twist to our familiar silky ones.

Lastly, the Pitan Tofu was my favourite out of all. Great flavour and good dish to kickstart the meal.
