Located within the SUTD Building along Somapah Road, find this spot for affordable western dishes and signature Croffles -— a cross between a croissant and waffle! Start off your mornings with the D'Star Brek O'Croffles ($14), which comes with a side of sunny egg, bacon and cherry tomatoes, or crowd favourite Fish & Chips ($12) and Messy Chicken Burger ($14). End off the meal with a roast cuppa of Flat White ($4), Earl Grey Blue Flower ($3) tea or homemade Iced Honey Lemon ($4).

Congee was smooth and fragrant with abundance of ingredients for $6.90. 2 large deshelled prawns, 2 scallops, salmon flakes, Japanese imitation crabstick and clams. Tea-smokes salmon wasn't available on the date of visit due to smoker machine being unserviceable. Got the UFO fried wonton at $4.90 for 4 pieces. It's huge and STUFFED with small prawns. Will visit again to try the salmon.

The price is reasoning and the ingredients are fresh. The owner is very kind. Customers can help to donate for the Low income to have a meal during this covid period.

PRICE: $6.50 (or $6.90?) + $2.20 for curly fries and soup combo

WAITING TIME: 11 mins on a weekday after 1pm

REMARKS:
- The tomato pasta serving is so generous!
- Hamburg was tasty and of a good size, but could be juicier, and I'll prefer to have it with some kind of sauce
- Curly fries maintained their crispness throughout the meal
- Soup was a bit of a letdown - too gooey, clumpy, no sight of the ingredients, no clue what soup is it actually (potato? mushroom?)
- Will order the pork belly hotplate again but probably not this one

@tipsypenguinsg menu is an odd mishmash of East meets West, and the KL Seafood ($16++) Hokkien Mee is definitely Eastside Gang. Sure, there’s no getting over the oddity of having hawker dishes alongside your buddy who’s busy consuming chicken cordon bleu, but it’s a good kind of oddity.⠀
⠀
The menu may be more worldwide than Pitbull, but each dish is decently done. This plate of Hokkien Mee ain’t gonna win any pretty food contests, but it’s a pretty good representation of #uglydelicious. The tremendously T H I C C noodles are braised in that gravy, whose only fault is being a touch too sweet for my tastes, and tossed in a smattering of seafood.⠀
⠀
The sapid & sweet soy-based sauce lends luscious life to the otherwise bland seafood. The squid is cooked to perfection, possessing the right balance of chew & suppleness. The duo of prawns, however, weren’t fresh and had gone a little mushy. Bit of a shame, as the prawns were the thing that dragged the dish down with their lack of freshness.⠀
⠀
Aside from the prawns, the KL Hokkien Mee is a decent dish, and I could see myself ordering it again on a return trip.

Addictive and savoury on its own.
Moments ago chosen this braised pork ribs, with baby potato & cherry tomato.
Looking forward on next visit.

Deep fried battered prawns, over fluffy Japanese rice, then blanket by the egg.
Satisfying meal.
Served with miso soup and diced pickled radish.

Tasty seafood platter ($45) and calamari ($14) - seafood platter comes with scallops, prawns, fish, etc and my fav part is their bowl of hearty and spicy clam soup 😋

A fusion prawn noodle with crispy char siew. You get to choose either dry or soup and also the choice of your noodle. I like the crispy char siew which was juicy enough but unfortunately the prawn itself taste like undercooked. $7.50
