Welcome to Bencoolen.

Since August 2004, this street side fast casual 24-hour eatery has been a go-to in town, from when I used to work nearby.
.
Their rendition is among the more asthetically pleasing, thanks to the perfectly fried chicken egg shaped by a round mould, with eggy sweet savoury flavour.
.
The dish itself is delicious, the soft chewy yellow noodles, crisp bean sprouts, wispy chicken egg, and tender beef slices, all in a vibrant orange hue, with bold smoky grainy eggy vegetal sweet savoury salty meaty spice flavour.
.
Bits of chili give it a good fiery kick.

($7) saw some mixed reviews about it but then I wanted to try iced matcha latte. But I decided to give a try for Einspanner version instead. I would like to say that you gotta mixed well with matcha + milk + Einspanner (cream). But this taste quite nice tbh and got strong bitter taste (even without sugar level inside matcha).

($6.90) I finally tried their ramen after trying their rice and bibimnoodle since my friend always order this most of time. But I find that their ramen was quite hard a bit and still got "q" texture. Pork was quite tough texture tbh.

($8) come 2 random dish (got radish flavour pork and spinach salad) (they will be changing daily) with rice and oden soup. I really enjoy daikon flavour pork meat as it was strong taste for marinated grilled pork.

Brought the fiancee because she loves umeshu. She picked this on top of the tasting set as she likes tea too.

Brought the fiancee because she loves umeshu. I love hard tacos, but the fatal flaw here was the mediocre chicken, which spoilt everything.

Brought the fiancee because she loves umeshu. We added this because the prawns in the ramen were very good quality. The problem here was it's way too salty.

Brought the fiancee because she loves umeshu. I've always liked dry ramen so this was generally okay. Prawns were high quality. But it's spicier than we thought and the noodle was the hard kind.

Brought the fiancee because she loves umeshu. That's the dish's name. Lovely texture, featuring well-fried exterior and gooey interior, but the uni taste wasn't as strong as hoped.

Brought the fiancee because she loves umeshu. Three tasting flights. (From left) Pineapple, yuzu, blood orange. The first had the highest alcohol so it's for those who prefer that. It's not really for me. The others were nice too.

($2.50) called matcha with red bean bread. They mixed with matcha powder into the dough. The taste for matcha powder was mild bitter. Their red bean powdered into paste form. But their paste form contained with their mashed shells. At least they don't make red bean to be so sweet.
