The veggies were all quite savoury or otherwise delectable, as thunder tea ought to be. The tea tho, is quite pedestrian. It's quite diluted and quite powdery

💸 ：$12.50 (supposed to b $13 😅😅...)
we ordered 2 drinks + 1 tea cake + 1 scone, and the total was supp to be $13 but he heard banana cake instead of scone but ended up just giving us the cake for free 😭 hence everything in the picture. thank u for ur generosity 🙏

DRINKS 🍵 ($6.50/$7)
comments... rly nice latte art 😭
1) Matcha latte: 8.5/10 (mother's review)
she liked the latte in general but i thought it was a lil bitter 🙏 not thick but i thought the balance between milk and matcha was good bc its more matcha-y

2) Chocolate 🍫: 8/10
same ratio as matcha latte, not thick but same its ur preference. i thought it was p nice and i could finish the whole cup

DESSERT 🍰 ($5,$5.50,$6)
honestly i rly liked all THEYRE P GOOD.. all arent dry & v fragrant
1) Banana cake: 7/10
cant taste banana at all hence the rating... this doesnt taste like usual banana cake but it was q fragrant also

2) Tea cake: 9/10
First i think it depends on ur preference bc my mum said theres a weird taste to it BUT i thought it was nice 😭😭 tastes familiar IDK WHAT but they said its a light tea flavoured cake, its like weird but fragrant...i like it and also i think the portion is so big LOLL its q worth la

3) Scone: 10/10
big portion too 👍 wasnt dry nor hard (ive tried so many like this before...) & came w butter + strawbb jam. the scone itself is q moist and u can just eat it by itself without the jam coz theres alr flavour & raisin. maybe ive just never eaten good scones in my life 💀

ok thats it! i wld return to get the pastries agn more often if there was the 1 for 1 but honestly may come back for the scone even without promo LOL. drinks wldnt get if there isnt 1 for 1 just bc theres nothing unique abt it!!

Serving well before August 2014 and named after 'Nusantara (Outer Islands)', this stall attracts fast-moving queues at peak meal times.
.
Homely comfort dish, the aromatic broth is rich with lemongrass, galangal, ginger, turmeric, and coconut milk, creamy and velvety with savoury sweet earthy spice flavour.
.
The stewed vegetables (cabbage, string beans, jicama turnip) are fall-apart soft with vegetal sweet spice flavour, complementing the dense chewy compressed rice cakes with grainy sweet notes.
.
The spongy tofu bean curd absorbs the flavour profile of the broth, while heaps of serunding / fried coconut shreds lend an earthy nutty sweet spicy kick.

From Phati & Jane. I love Thai omelettes and I love their omelettes.

From Phati & Jane. It's fine.

From Phati & Jane. My favourite dish here. It looks meagre because it's for one I think.

This chain brand was established in 1953 as 'Wang Jiao', and rebranded as 'Wang Cafe' in 2006, with the halal-certified spin-off 'Heavenly Wang' established in 2012.
.
Their rendition has a homemade broth infused with coconut milk, dried shrimp, and laksa leaves, carrying savoury milky spicy flavour.
.
The crisp bean sprouts and smooth thick rice vermicelli noodles lend grainy vegetal sweet flavour, while the bouncy hard boiled chicken egg lends eggy sweet flavour.
.
The springy fish cake carries sweet savoury flavour, while the spongy tofu puffs soak up the flavours of the lovely broth. No blood cockles here, instead, there's crunchy deshelled prawns with sweet savoury notes.

Founded by Madam Ang Siew Yan in 1995, and having since handed over to nephew Zhang Ji Lin since 2006, this stall is famed for their rich creamy broth, probably the thickest around, formerly served in individual claypots.
.
The heady spice mix to create the broth comprises galangal, turmeric, fermented shrimp paste, lemongrass, bird's eye chili, and more, all slow cooked over 2 hours.
.
But the secret is the freshly squeezed coconut milk, lending a creamy texture that cannot be replicated without the painstaking effort. The result is a laksa broth that bursts with addictive savoury milky spicy flavour and freshness.
.
The silky smooth thick rice vermicelli noodles hold grainy sweet flavour, while the crisp bean sprouts lend vegetal sweet flavour.
.
The spongy tofu puffs burst with grainy savoury spicy flavour, the springy fish cake lends sweet savoury notes, and the juicy blood cockles burst with briny salty mineral flavour.
.
They've also added chewy shredded chicken, whose gentle meaty savoury sweet flavour lends good body to this comforting bowl. Fresh laksa leaves lend a beautiful aroma.

The noodles were a bit hard. The sauce wasnt salty. They had siu siu chilli at the side which customers can add freely. The ramen egg was very nice.

We happened to visit during their limited edition menu in collab Siu Siu. One of the options were Tsukemen. The noodles were cooked to slightly softer side. The sauce wasnt too thick, abit soupy. It goes very well with the noodles. The char siew were too fatty for me. But the slices were very thick.
