Welcome to Chinatown.

($5) my friend told me that its a shop selling omelette at Chinatown complex. I did passby once for another shop. But then I decided to try it out before leaving the area. But the omelette is not that salty and very old school taste. But the serving size was quite big compared to others. I don't like the onion and tomato inside omelette tbh but overall it really taste very nice.

[Entertainer 1-for-1 Mains Promo]
Had been eyeing this restaurant on Entertainer lately and got the chance to for a birthday celebration. Interior was beautiful and cosy, perfect ambience for a date.

We started off with their signature Olive Spheres, which was an intense burst of olive juices. Then came the Hummus Salad ($20) and Pita Bread ($12). The hummus was delicious, and the bright flavours of the tomatoes and grapes contrasted nicely with the nutty hummus. Don't forget the pita bread to mop it up with! But thought the hummus portion could have been a tad bt more generous. As for the mains, we were very taken with the Blue Shrimps Rice ($52) -- shrimps were fresh and so flavourful, and the rice was rich and creamy (but do share because it can get very cloying). However, we did not like the Duck Breast ($52) as the meat tasted too gamy and chewy; the sweet glaze also didn't quite work well with the duck, almost like an inferior chinese sweet glaze. The potato puree was so good though, so rich and buttery. Ended off the meal with the famous cheesecake which was as intense, creamy, and rich as I remembered it. All in all, a great meal!

Established in 1943 and now managed by the 3rd-generation owner, this stall uses an 80-year-old family recipe, stewing mutton bones for over 3 hours.

Their rendition features a medley of 11 herbs, including bei qi / astragalus root, gan cau / liquorice root, dang shen / codonopsis root, dang gui / angelica root, yu zhu / Solomon’s seal, goji berries / wolfberries, star anise, cloves, and more. The resulting thin and semi-clear hot soup / broth takes on a deep meaty savoury sweet bitter herbal flavour.
.
Garnished with tender deboned mutton meat and bone-in mutton ribs with meaty savoury flavour, bouncy mutton meat balls with meaty savoury salty flavour, crunchy stomach / tripe with savoury salty flavour, and fresh coriander with vegetal bitter herbal sweet flavour.

Light curry, tender chicken and tofu puffs that soak up all the flavour. Thick bee hoon slurps easy and the sambal adds just the right kick. Nothing fancy, just a comforting and familiar bowl I’d finish without thinking 》$6.50

Queued a while post-lunch but everything’s made fresh so the wait felt worth it. Tang yuan beancurd was silky and light, with chewy, black sesame and peanut balls. Brown sugar boba soya milk was creamy and refreshing, with surprisingly chewy boba. Great alternative to BBT when it’s blazing out.

✨ Special flavours to look out for:
• Pandan beancurd
• Black sesame beancurd (Saturdays only)

Tang Yuan Beancurd 》$4.40
Brown Sugar Boba Soya Milk 》$3.50

[CHINATOWN, SINGAPORE] Yet another great find at Hong Lim Market! If you are a fishball noodle lover like me, you are going to love this one 🤤 I ordered the medium size portion of $6 and it came with 7 sizable fish and meatballs!

They specialise in making handmade fishballs & meatballs, and I must say they are definitely a notch above the rest. The texture of the balls are delightfully bouncy, with the meatballs definitely much meatier. Both are well seasoned and were not too salty. The soup itself has an old school flavour, but can be a little too salty! If possible you can let them know you don't want the preserved salted vegetables.

I actually love their noodles more, as they nailed both the texture and flavour. The noodles were satisfyingly chewy, with a bite that was really inviting. It was well seasoned with chilli that isn't too spicy and the amount of vinegar used was just right as well. I really can eat alot of the noodles by itself 😍

Ate this for lunch, and I was telling my colleagues that I can eat this for the entire week without a problem 😆 Note that this original Hong Xing does not have any other outlets, and their quality would not be represented by the other "outlets" you may find online!

This was a complimentary dish from one of the lovely staff and it turned out to be a highlight. Silky poached chicken, chilled and drenched in fragrant chilli oil with crunchy peanuts, cucumber and mashed garlic. It looked fiery but wasn’t overly spicy, bold, savoury and beautifully balanced 》$10.80

These wantons looked fiery in its deep red broth but the spice was surprisingly gentle. Each wonton was plump, silky and filled with well‑seasoned meat, soaking up just enough of the fragrant chilli oil to stay flavourful without overwhelming. A dish that balances comfort. Bold in appearance, mellow in taste and easy to love 》$8.80 / 8 Pcs

Lightly crisp florets with a touch of seasoning and savoury depth. A simple, comforting side that balances out the spicier dishes, making it a quiet but essential part of the spread 》$13.80

Fried till crisp, tossed with heaps of dried chilli and Sichuan peppercorns. Crazy spicy, crunchy, aromatic and addictive. The kind of dish that keeps you reaching back even as the heat builds 》$20.80

This grilled fish was highly recommended by the staff and it didn’t disappoint. Served bubbling with onions, beansprout, green and red chillies. The fish was tender and soaked up all the flavours beautifully.

Though it looked bright red and fiery, the spice was actually well‑balanced. The mid spicy broth was drinkable, making the whole dish comforting rather than overwhelming. A dish that’s easy to enjoy and share 》$29.80 / Limbo Fish

Skewers aren’t the main draw here but they’re worth a try. Had the lamb, pork and mushroom skewers, all grilled to tender perfection with char and seasoning. It’s been a while since skewers felt this soft, tender and satisfying.

Lamb Skewers 》$5.80 / 3 Pcs
Pork Skewers 》$4.80 / 3 Pcs
Mushroom Skewers 》$4.80 / 3 Pcs
