Despite passing by the kopi tiam just next to Hougang Mall numerous times, it was only recently that I discovered these โ€œpiglet bunsโ€ from the coffee stall.

Fluffy buns shaped like a pigโ€™s head with raisins for eyes, they come with three different fillings: pork chop ($3.80), chicken cutlet ($3.80), and ham & egg ($3.50). Or simply get the set (plus two eggs and a coffee/ tea) for $5.80.

The ๐—–๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—–๐˜‚๐˜๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜ ๐—•๐˜‚๐—ป, with a humongous piece of chicken that was delightfully deep fried, immediately caught my attention. Crispy and juicy, it was excellent.

I initially gave the ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธ ๐—–๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ฝ ๐—•๐˜‚๐—ป a condescending look as the slab of pork was pretty small. However it was very well-seasoned and succulent. What it lacked in size, it made up for in flavour.

The ๐—›๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—˜๐—ด๐—ด ๐—•๐˜‚๐—ป looked unassuming, but it was very tasty as well, thanks in no small part to the fried egg. All three selections proved to be stellar and you canโ€™t really go wrong with any of them.

Collinโ€™s rarely disappoints and one of the deals on Burpple Beyond this year is the 1-for-1 ๐—™๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ต & ๐—–๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—™๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜ ๐— ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฝ ($14.50).

Beautifully fried, the sizeable slab of fish was deliciously crispy and flakey. The crispy fries and crunchy salad were able accompaniments. The soup exuded enchanting earthiness and could not be faulted.

Collinโ€™s has achieved the terrific trifecta of great taste, big portions and affordability, and thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m always going back.

Emitting the fragrance of pandan while possessing the right level of sweetness, the gorgeous-looking ๐—ข๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ต ๐—ข๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ต ๐—ง๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜ ($6.90) was exceptional. I also loved the tiny cubes of ondeh ondeh perched on the tart.

Overall a very promising start and I can't wait for @firststorycafe to finalise its full menu.
