Chee cheong fun (or rice noodle rolls) is a dish that needs little introduction to most Singaporeans.

We are probably used to the factory-made ones (which are available at your neighbourhood kopitiams). Other than the atas freshly made ones from crystal jade / imperial treasur, I only know of one stall at the Old Airport Road FC which serves freshly made CCF.

@chefweihkcheongfun is a new entrant to the local CCF scene. Helmed by an experienced ex-Peach Garden chef, it serves freshly made CCF made from four different types of flour — potato, chestnut, tapioca and wheat starch.

I love that their CCF are thick, chewy and smooth. Besides the plain version ($3), there is also the mushroom ($4), char siew ($4) and prawn ($5). They are very generous with their fillings --- the prawns are plump, fresh and juicy and the charsiew / stirfried mushroom are actually quite substantial. The accompanying soy sauce was really really good with a nice balance of sweet and savoury.

More importantly, their hae bee hiam was simply addictive. It is packed full of umami and I had to stop myself from going back for more.

Chef Wei HK Cheong Fun is now available at Clementi, Bukit Panjang and AMK as well. I suggest going during non-peak hours as the CCF are made to order and you can expect to wait at least 30 minutes or more during peak hours!

Opening their second outlet in Bedok Central, this beverage kiosk brings their healthy mung bean smoothies and bubble tea one step closer to Easties! Grab a pal and cool off with their refreshing Oranje Craze ($6) or indulge in their creamy 'O' Nee Taro Puree Milk ($7) and Brown Sugar Cheese Creme ($7). Don't miss out on their signature Mung Bean Smoothie ($5.80), which is known to quell body heatiness!

Saw this advertised to be open by a Japanese hawker living in Singapore and had to give it a try. All the fusion mee pok dishes had a choice between miso and shoyu; we got the shoyu and it was nice and light flavoured.

We had the nasi beef / chicken rendang with Burpple beyond 1-for-1 deals in the homely and lovely cafe. They were both tasty and hearty.

We also added on a Lapis in Wonderland ($10.90), which is a modern delightful take on a kueh lapis dessert, and some specialty coffees.

The cafe staff made us feel right at home and we will be back for more.

This fell short of expectations. Very mild flavoured cookies and cream ice cream with nothing distinct to set itself apart from those you can buy off the shelves. For a ice cream cafe claiming to specialise in gelato, the texture here was nothing like gelato — it was icy and light and taste was generally subpar.

Nonetheless, the ambience here is great, staff are polite, and I would not hesitate giving scoop of joy a second chance with their other flavours. However, they do need to elevate this quintessential flavour a bit more to set themselves apart from other places.

Another flavour which fell short of expectations. For $4.90 I was expecting a more decadent or indulgent experience when it came to strawberry cheesecake ice cream. Think thick chunks of cheesecake and stronger nodes of stawberry. But this was nothing like it. Very mildly flavoured that lacked the chewy texture as expected from a gelato scoop.

(Stall 01-73: 美珍咖啡/爷爷咖椰) while your dining companion brave the queue for the other local delicacies here, you could get this as a snack for the Kaya is made from scratch by the owner, homely tasting with a slab of butter; the delight from this local breakfast staple hits home on all fronts.

Manageable crowd on a weekend evening. Ordered the fish slice and chicken slice set, and meatball and superior pork slice set. Soup base: Tom yum and Japanese pork broth. Ingredients were so so, but quite satisfied with the soup base. Portion size is generous. Very affordable hotpot place.

On the Michelin Bib Gourmand list, I had to give this a shot. Sad to say, I was not wow-ed. But I can't deny that I had higher expectation simply because of it's title. For a hefty price of $9 — and I only say hefty because it is a hawker fare, and you're really paying for that whole Michelin star and prestige endowned to it. Don't get me wrong, I thought the noodle texture was pretty decent, and the sauce here was tangier and stronger in its vinegar flavour. And while this made the taste of bcm more unique than usual, that's pretty much all to it. The liver was on the softer side, ingredients — meatballs, dumplings, were all pretty standard, and soup was already on the blander side. Ultimately, as this was my first try, I am glad that I got the Signature Tai Wah Pork Noodle which was really an "all-in" kind of set just to get a taste of all this hype. Because I don't think I will come here for my bcm fix, considering the longer queues, pricier food, and just standard quality delivered.

Rate:🌟🌟

My first reaction to the price was like huh? $4? But the portion and quality did it justice. On top of being worth its price for the portion, the chee cheong fun itself was smooth, allowing you to slurp up every bite. The char siew made the chee cheong fun on the slightly sweeter side, but the savoury light sauce did help to kick in a bit of saltiness.

Denzy churn pretty interesting flavours but no tasting allowed because of COVID-19 😒 Decided to be safe and ordered a standard flavour of roasted green tea gelato with a creamy finish - Hojicha. It was aromatic with a strong earthy and roasted taste but the sweetness kind of overpower the fragrance and bitter taste of tea. I’d probably pay them another visit when tasting is allowed to try their interesting flavours such as the whisky & salted pecan brittle.
