Welcome to Bukit Merah.

This coffee shop located is not so obvious from the outside and you need to find your way to get here, if you never been here before.

But on the weekend, you still see this place still occupied by many diners. Most of the stalls open and I’m here particularly to try this stall.

Opened by ex–MasterChef Singapore finalist Aaron Wong. Go for their signature dry wanton mee and you would love the texture of their pork belly char siew. So tender and lean, I ordered extra portion to savour it.

The wontons are handmade and filled with pork meat inside also.

The front door is access by the bigger road

Pastries are sold from 830am-230pm only, not available for sale for dinner

It was generous amount of Uncle Penyet fish fillet. It’s pretty good even for group order for seminars and office functions.

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.

Aaron Wong continues to be a prick. He talked up his wanton mee by contrasting with others. Then he named it "legend". Anyway, he said he wants every component of his version to be good, so my expectations were high. The fatty char siew and tasty wantons he obviously delivered, but there are better noodles out there and his soup was standard issue.

Quite authentic, broth is almost like what I had in my childhood in Kuching. Noodles were plentiful, and there was substantial egg strips, shredded chicken, and taugeh. The bowl also came with THREE juicy and sweet whole prawns wow! Mix in the chilli and lime and you've got yourself a fantastic meal. Highly recommend.

One of my favourite claypot rice.

Chicken meat were tender and their salted fish infused rice smells and tasted damn good.

$15 portion is actually rather small for 2 pax. 2 pax must go for $20 & above man.

Yuan yuan at ABC is rather elusive, they only opened from Fridays to Mondays, and only during dinner time.

With 2 Gelato shops that are almost side by side, and a craving for ice cream overcoming my sweet tooth, we walked over after our dinner at ABC.

Carrara not only serves gelato, they have a wide menu of hot and savoury food on their menu, from pasta to rosti, etc.

But what is the must have here at Carrara, is definitely their waffle and ice cream.

Waffles were freshly made, smell so buttery & Aromatic even. The texture so crispy and tasted buttery.

Their Gelato had many varieties to choose from and I was really spoilt for choices.

Hidden gem under old school hdb in lengkok bahru. Full house, with queue, cos the place is small. Really tasty food! They specialise in bao bun, the fried chicken one was really well-seasoned & tasty! The beef short ribs fried rice was tender & tasty! The mee sua was the surprise, so fragrant you could smell it from a distance!
