Hong Lim Hawker is one of my favourite to-go hawker, as they have so many nice food here! (But also, most of the popular food stalls have extremely long queues on both weekdays and Saturdays)!

Always making it a point to try something new each time I am here! This trip, we tried the noodles from The Noodle Memories (Unit 02-27)! Got the specialty dry chilli noodle ($5.50) at xiao la chilli level. It comes with you mian noodles, black fungus, poached egg, minced meat sauce and a crispy taukee! Their noodles are made fresh on-site! Their xiao la chilli spice level is also quite spicy already, so be careful if you cant take spice well!

Pistachio was the premium flavour. This time there's this strong bitter aftertaste which was very unpleasant

Meanwhile, the despicable stunned with the banana ice cream, it's so full bodied and well executed. Brownies and walnuts only added to the excellence

Despicable is not to be missed.

Choice of sauce: bisque sauce
Choice of side: potatoes a la provencale
Additional side grilled zucchini +6++

The zucchini was grilled perfectly, it's really lovely. For a zucchini, the flavours were intense and the bite meaty

Potatoes had good flavour but the crunch vanished rapidly

Secreto was nowhere near as good as my first time. It's a bit tough and not v crispy on the outside

The flavour rlly was good, the filling's mild umami complemented the squid's natural taste. However the squid was a little bit chewy, and the two sauces didn't pair particularly well

For the quality this is too expensive

Not too bad, slightly hard at the edges esp if you let it rest

Butter didn't have much body

Finally trying 大豆小豆 at Hong Lim!

They have pretty interesting and unique tauhuey flavours! You can also customise the sugar syrup for your tauhuey bowl and choose your preferred additional toppings!

Here is what we had:
💙one blue beancurd + tang yuan
🖤black sesame sauce beancurd + tang yuan
🧡soya milk

Smooth silky tauhuey! The soya milk drink also tastes slightly different from usual hawker stall! There was a nutty fragrant taste to it!

I was very perplexed at a Chinese place with 4.9stars on Google reviews lmao

The blue cheese layer is strong, it tastes a lot like Roquefort. Then there's the milk chocolate exterior escapsulating rather mild cream

Again it's more experimental than anything you really will naturally love. Without the blue cheese piece it's really just a mildly salty hardly sweet cheese cream which wasn't too special honestly, but again the jam worked well

It's a strawberry jam and it's sweeter than the overly tart nonsense I had the first time around, no wonder it pairs much better

Overall it's alright, but too ex

For dessert, I was eyeing their creamy Biscoff gelato ($5.50/ scoop) though the others (will get the Hojicha next time) on display tasted great as well. Milky but not overly so, the kind of buttery, caramelised flavour really came through. Studded with bits of cookie crumbs, it was also not too sweet and was wonderfully smooth. Loving their selection of house-made gelato, I found their Charcoal Matcha Waffle ($3.50) to be even more enjoyable as the texture was a nice in-between of dense and airy. The areas with the matcha batter were slightly softer while the charcoal batter seemed to yield a crisper crunch. And I was most impressed by the fact that the mixed batter had a pleasant sweet aroma with the green edges offering a pronounced roasted tea flavour.

What a great hidden find it turned out to be, The Shelter located in Fook Hai Building boasts quite a unique blend of localised bites and cafe fare. Here for dinner, their Curry Chicken with Rice (S$7) was affordable and of a good portion size. With a rich spiced and well-balanced gravy, the bowl also came with a substantial amount of potato chunks and tender fall-off-the-bones meat. Best post-workout comfort food.

This was intense. It's just basically cheese cream inside, and again it's hardly a dessert. There's barely any sweetness, just intense funk without much body. The rather light, creamy texture was a joy, and then the brilliance of the jam shows. I hated the jam before but its sharpness counters the funk perfectly and creates a lovely overall dish. On top of the strong funk, there's a bit of sourness

Worth a try if you have money to throw.

This ain't some highbrow creation. This is really basic yet really good, the apple jam layer was pleasant and it combined well w the mild cheese, and the cereal? crust was absolutely lovely

Recommended, if you've tried their signatures already
