Welcome to Balestier.

The set comes with toast, 2 eggs and 1 drink. The toasts are very crispy. They are very generous with the butter and kaya. The kaya has more coconutty taste. It was really good. The eggs are slightly overcooked for me.

From a stall that looks like fish head steamboat, which Whampoa hawker centre is known for, but run by PRC nationals. Although the soup underwhelmed a little, it's a heartening bowl, with old-school ingredients like yam.

The kolo mee and the Hakka in the name misled me, given I love both styles of noodles. It's a rather ordinary bowl. The cutlet was the supermarket type and the seasoning tasted instant and cheap. Adding the basic fish sticks also made the bowl overly expensive.

Founded in April 2022 by Chew Kim Hwee, King Grouper Fish Soup specialises in premium giant grouper fish, prized for its collagen-rich skin and delicate flesh.
.
While they also offer regular Spanish mackerel fish, the giant grouper fish is the star; only those weighing 10-kilogrammes and above are used. This results in a tender chewy firm texture to their sliced fresh fish and battered fried fish, both with meaty sweet savoury salty flavour.
.
Their soup is robust with sweet salty savoury herbal flavour, made by simmering giant grouper fish heads, mackerel fish bones, and assorted vegetables for over 3 hours. Garnished with crisp cabbage, juicy tomato, crunchy salted mustard greens, and fresh wispy coriander, lending a vegetal earthy herbal salty sweet flavour.
.
Further garnished with tender minced pork, which lends meaty sweet savoury flavour and good depth of body to their soup.

There has been load of (much deserved) rave about Bao Er Cafe's kaya toast and hokkien mee that the majority of their other offerings gets cast aside!

They also serve a good bowl of prawn noodles (or prawn mee or hei mee depending on what you call it). I had their dry version and their noodles were spot-on al dente and topped with good portions of sliced pork, prawns and lard! The sauce was well balanced and their chilli tasty. The soup was umami filled and flavourful.

My favourite prawn mee remains One Prawn & Co for their luxuriously cream bisque-like prawn stock. This is not in the same class but definitely better than most versions which are way too salty and MSG-laden!

Tried the vegan manhattan meatball linguine and the stuffed portobello mushroom.
Both portions are on the smaller side
Pasta was decent — the meatballs tasted like meat

We had two pizzas, the two mains + one vegan laksa and some drinks for around $70 so very worth with the burpple deal

Wild mushroom and truffle pizza — it’s thin crust
The truffle hit was nice, a good pizza that feels quite clean.
We also tried the rendang pizza which was also not bad. Good option for people who want pizza but not a greasy and cheesy option

$6 for this generous hearty bowl of goodness , digging the fried yam pieces n 2 types of chilli for pairing

Chuan Kee Char Kway Teow is a must-try!

Even on a weekday lunch, the queue was snaking long—a clear sign of its popularity. For just $3, the portion was generous and packed with flavor. The dish had a strong, smoky wok hei that was incredibly satisfying, and it was loaded with fresh bean sprouts.

What really stood out were the generous bits of Chinese sausage (Lup Cheong), which added a delicious savory-sweet touch to every bite.

A fantastic and affordable plate of char kway teow!

After a wonderful walk at Whampoa park, it was time for the best ever carrot cake. Yes long queue as expected and worth queueing! It has a little sweet note overall if you don’t mind it but well accepted.

Every time I wanna eat the darker pork ba zhang, I taste this and I'm won over.
