Welcome to Bukit Batok.

📍Sheseashells
[A little embarrassed that I only got to visit their little takeaway bakeshop at HillV2 recently and am once again impressed by their selection.]

Cream Cheese Scallion & Sun-dried Tomato Madeleine ($4.90) - Didn’t enjoy this as much as I thought I would, probably because of the punchy cream cheese filling. The flavoured Madeleine was so good but I think I still lean towards the sweet filled madeleines.

Pistachio & Raspberry Madeleine ($5.20) with orange blossom glaze - Enjoyed the studded crushed nuts but wish there was a bright raspberry filling to give the bake more of an oomph.

Oolong Milk Tea Madeleine ($4.70) - Can’t go wrong with her ganache-filled Madeleine~ Rich, distinctive oolong milk tea flavour.

Lemon & Yuzu Madeleine ($4.90) - Amazingly tangy and vibrant curd in the center!

Sweet & Sour Pork was superb. Still so crisp after being drenched in the addictive sauce. Best I've ever tried. Mantou and grilled enoki mushrooms also good. The roasted lamb leg also can try. Can skip the shredded potato, cauliflower pot and grilled leeks. If possible, sit indoors in air-conditioned comfort; we sat outdoors because of the grilled lamb leg and was quite affected by the smoking and shouting and vomiting at the outdoor section.

You’ve read about the $3 fried rice in my previous posts, now let me introduce you to the Hor Fun from the same stall, which I found even tastier than their fried rice. The ingredients include fishcake, chicken, egg, and vegetables. The hor fun is first fried with soy sauce and dark sauce to achieve its distinct brown colour and infuse a bit of wok hei. It is then coated in a savoury, starchy, gooey, and eggy sauce that adds extra deliciousness and moistness to the noodles. The waiting time for them to cook this dish may be longer, but it is absolutely worth it. The portion is suitable for small eaters, although I believe even small eaters would need at least two plates because it is just that delicious.😋

That's right! Located at Pek Kio Market & Food Centre, this simple, humble, and honest stall is run by an elderly couple serving up old-school style fried rice. The ingredients are basic, consisting of chicken, fishcake, eggs, spring onions, and ikan bilis, but the proportion of rice to ingredients is generous. This plate of fried rice is suitable for small eaters. However, if you are a big eater, you should order at least two plates. It is tasty and savoury. Although it lacks wok hei, it is still a delicious and budget-friendly fried rice option.

I’ve always been a regular at Xin Yuan Ji’s Bugis branch—it’s been my favorite fish soup spot in Singapore for years. Today, I decided to try their Bukit Batok outlet.

The soup used to have a strong, distinctive charcoal aroma, which added a unique depth to its flavor. While that smokiness is barely noticeable now, the soup still holds up well.

The freshness of the fish slices remains consistently high, and even without the charcoal undertones, the broth is flavorful and satisfying. It’s still a reliable choice for a comforting bowl of fish soup.

Tze char all day everyday!

Visited @jb101firewokzflagship for the first time after bookmarking it on my map for the longest time!

They were having some promotion for fried fish at $2.90 only!!

Other dishes we ordered:
- salted egg spare ribs $15
- stir fried tanghoon $6
- charcoal claypot hokkien noodles $8.90

Loved that there was no bones in the pork ribs!
Would have preferred if the claypot hokkien noodles were the wetter kind though.

No GST and service charge here

Relatively wet, fat noodles, briny stock. It's good. But dabao where did my lard go!

Having KFC Cheezy Zinger Meltz and cheese fries 🤩😋

Established in 2006 by Andrew Khoo, this stall boasts a thick braising gravy made with pork bones and spices, including cinnamon and 5 spice, enhanced with black vinegar, minced garlic, red chili, and spring onions, carrying lovely robust savoury salty sour herbal sweet spice flavour.
.
The chewy thick flat noodles have grainy sweet notes, the crisp bean sprouts vegetal sweet notes, and the tender braised pork belly has meaty salty savoury sweet earthy herbal flavour.
.
The stars are the chunky 5 spice roll that's crisp juicy with meaty salty savoury sweet herbal earthy nutty flavour, and the super crispy fried dough fritters that crunch satisfyingly.

Have went past Licker many times, but finally trying it recently!

They have very reasonably priced waffles! The waffles only cost $5 (+GST), while each scoop of ice cream costs $3 (+GST)! For premium flavours, there is an additional 80 cents.

The waffle is crispy on the outside, and light fluffy on the inside. A side of honey sauce is also given for your own drizzling. Many unique flavours here to try! We got the watermelon passionfruit and oolong lavender! Between the two, I preferred the sourish watermelon passionfruit! Seems like I prefer sour sorbet kind of flavours nowadays! We also got the MR MAO mao shan wang durian flavour (this is SUPREME flavour, $6.50 per scoop)!

Head here for your late night dessert was they are open all the way to 2am!

(Plus u can use CDC vouchers here!)

Exploring food places in the west brought us to @laifaba 来发吧 !

Visited on a weekend a few minutes right before opening hours, and there was already 3 groups waiting to enter! (We didnt make any reservations earlier as it was an impromptu decision to head there to eat).

This place is famous for their traditional wanton noodles and woodfire-roasted meats! What is special about this place is that you can even choose your meat cut options - lean, mixed or fatty! Seriously, this is the best customisation ever, as I love lean char siew meat! (don't really love the super fatty kind).

The bowl of signature noodle is $12++ though! Kinda expensive if you compare it to coffeeshop/hawker pricing. But if you compare it to tze char restaurant / cafe pricing, this is still relatively cheaper! Springy noodles, sweet caramelised sugar, with crispy fried wanton. The soup also had boiled wantons too! Comes with half a lava egg as well! The chilli sauces are available at each table - normal chilli, extra spicy chilli, or green chilli. Also ordered the taufu meat pocket ($12++) which was quite special!

The restaurant was nicely decked in nostalgic and vintage furniture.

A nice place to come at least once to try out the food!
