Another popular stall at Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre — The white beehoon [a.k.a. rice vermicelli] dish is served in a flavourful and tasty, soupier broth that comes with a nice variety of ingredients including crayfish, clams, Chinese cabbage and bits of fried egg. 🫶🏻

We made our way to our much beloved Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre, in view that it is set to demolish in the second half of 2024. Thanks for the wonderful memories for the past 30 years! 🫶🏻

We ordered some satay from this popular stall ‘cause my mum is enamoured with its peanut sauce that comes with a huge dollop of pineapple 🍍 puree. The skewered meat has a nicely charred piece of fat in the middle and extra chew on the meat.

Sizzling steak on a hot plate at a hawker centre! Price is friendly on a budget and portion is sizable too.

Love the medium-rare steak with a robust beefy flavour, strip of fat and a prominent chew that requires a bit more bite. The truffle fries on the side is super crispy and unexplainably addictive! 🫶🏻

I am probably not the only one confused but there is actually not one but two Korean restaurants by the name of "Myung Ga" in the Bukit Timah area. I usually frequent Myung Ga II at Bukit Timah Plaza but it was closed the night I visited so I decided to check out Myung Ga III at Beauty World instead.

According to the wait staff, Myung Ga II and III are separate restaurants whose owners are friends. They aren't related but have similar (if not the same) menu.

The good is rather similar. The tonkatsu is huuuuuuge as with all Korean style tonkatsus with a nice sweet sauce. I ordered a takeaway which was probably why the pork cutlet came in pieces instead of one huge slab. The meat was well marinated and the crust shattering crisp. I do prefer Myung Ga II's version because it was a little more tender and juicy but it might just be because I had their tonkatsu fresh instead of sitting in a box for the 45 minutes drive home.

I do want to know though... Is there a Myung Ga I?!?

The classic fish & chips at the hawker center were crispy and satisfying.
The broccoli and fries on the side were a tasty addition to the meal.
Satisfying portion!

The fried kway teow at the hawker center boasts a distinctive sweet black sauce flavor.
The noodles are consistently cooked to perfection, making it a delicious and satisfying dish.
Overall, this is a drier type yet addictive version.
Highly recommended!

i’m a convert. my photo may be lacklustre but this dish is not. It’s INCREDIBLE.

not a huge cold noodle fan because i always feel noodles should be hot then it’ll be shiok…. but today the weather really damn hot so i decided to go for it. i’m a convert. i’m ordering cold noodles every time i go to a korean place from now on.

the soup is so good, i couldn’t believe how refreshing it was! there were fresh pear slices in addition to the vinegar, chilli seeds, and cucumber slices to provide a zesty, complex profile to it. masterfully done! kudos to the chef!

Incredible seafood pancake… i’ve eaten quite a few from different korean places but this takes the cake. we ordered one to share in addition to our mains and it was so good!

crisp and not too oily. the thickness of the pancake was JUST RIGHT. some places overdo it and it’s too thick and gelat, some places are too thin and not worth the money, but this one really hit the spot. seafood was fresh and provided a depth to the pancakes.

recommend dipping it into the sauce! will definitely come back again

Salted Caramel is an establishment that has been around for quite a long while — the scene may have seen many entrants in the past number of years focusing on gelato and ice-cream, but Salted Caramel has always been a mainstay in the scene serving up intriguing flavours without being too over-the-top. Its Thomson outlet might perhaps be the most known location, though their Beauty World location has also been around for quite a long while as well. One thing that we have noted about Salted Caramel over the years is how they seem to be always incrementally improving themselves to keep the brand up-to-date to the business environment — the Beauty World outlet is their first expansion since their establishment at Thomson, and sports a minimalist interior that is a refreshing change from the Thomson outlet back then. Since then, the Thomson outlet has also seen some renovation works that helped to spruce up the space a little — interestingly, both outlet also do serve up a line-up of danishes now with the Beauty World outlet serving up a wider variety than the Thomson location.

Salted Caramel’s ice-cream needs no introduction at this stage; whilst we are not frequent customers of the brand, we have had their ice-cream and also written about several flavours that we have had over the years. What made us feel compelled to make a return to Salted Caramel was their danishes — it is interesting to note how the range of danishes at Salted Caramel comprises of both savoury and sweet danishes, though the sweet danishes do make up for quite a large selection nonetheless. We were actually rather intrigued by the Yuzu Calamansi Meringue when we skimmed through the danishes on display — almost like a croissant that got a fancy, punk-style hairdo from the spiky meringue. The description card placed in the cabinet describes the Yuzu Calamansi Meringue to come with elements such as Yuzu Calamansi curd and Italian Meringue; the Danish was also interestingly warmed up upon order — something which we never quite had expected these folks to do considering how much they are a dessert establishment and that the Yuzu Calamansi Meringue is a sweet danish to begin with. Slicing down the Yuzu Calamansi Meringue, the croissant was crisp, light, airy and flaky — surprisingly buttery without feeling particularly greasy; definitely better than what we had expected. The slicing action also meant that the Yuzu Calamansi curd filled within would ooze out of the croissant as well; there was actually a good portion of Yuzu Calamansi curd within the croissant that gives zippy and sour-ish tang that helped opened the tastebuds. The torched meringue on the top comes slightly hardened on the exterior, yet still light and fluffy within with just a bit of sweetness to cut through the tang — quite on point. Overall, quite a satisfying treat that definitely hits the spot for us; looking forward to try the others that they have to offer some other time!

They have several flavours for their puffs that I've forgotten what I bought.

Taking some time out of my busy CNY shopping and preparation, to indulge in my favourite pastime — eating🍴.

An unexpected discovery of this delightful fried Hokkien noodles infused with rich and sweet prawn stock as well as ample wok hei [a.k.a. breath of wok] @ a Hainanese chicken rice eatery today! 🫶🏻

We also ordered plates of their signature steamed chicken. The chicken meat was tender and moist, however the jiggly gelatin-like texture layer under the skin was lacking.
