Welcome to West, Singapore.

Eighteen Chefs have consistently fed me for over a decade, and once in a while, they will come up with some new menu items.

And this time, it's a national day special chilli crab sauce cheese baked rice.

Damn solid chilli crab sauce. And seafood is fresh also.

Cheese + chilli crab sauce is such an awesome combo. Whose gonna start a chilli cheese crab?

Long queues during weekend breakfast, justified by this solid bowl of fishball noodles. I will be queuing weekly for my Sunday breakfast.

Fishballs were bouncy.

Tomato+chilli sauce base gives off the old school vibe

Having KFC Cheezy Zinger Meltz and cheese fries 🤩😋

Founded in 1997 by Madam Teo Siew Tin, this popular stall is now run by her children, sons Du Han Zhong and Du Han Chuan, daughter Jaycee Du.
.
The braising gravy has a nice starchy thickness, and enhanced with black vinegar, sambal belacan, and minced garlic, has a deep savoury salty herbal sweet spice flavour.
.
The thick flat noodles, bean sprouts, and fish cake, are fairly standard, chewy crisp springy in texture respectively, with combined grainy sweet savoury flavour.
.
But the stars are their hand made items, from the tender braised pork belly with meaty salty savoury herbal flavour, the bouncy braised egg with eggy salty sweet flavour, and the addictive crunchy fried yam / taro fritters with savoury earthy salty flavour.

Was researching on what food stalls to try at West Coast Food Centre and quite a few people recommended this Braised Duck Rice Stall (01-162)! Reached around 30 mins aft it opened on a saturday morning and there was already at 15+ people long queue! In total, we waited for around 30-40mins to get our food!

Got the set ($4) which comes with taukwa and braised egg, and a $4.50 ala carte. The item featured here is the $4.50 braised duck rice plate! Everything about this plate was so good! Duck was good, rice was good, soup was good, chilli was good! Love that there was no gamey duck smell at all. Sauce for the rice was also just nice, not overly sweet nor overly salt. The rice also kinda taste slightly like chicken rice to me, which was a good thing, very fragrant! Chilli was spicy and shiok! Soup was not overly herbal-ish taste.

Everything here is so good, except the long queue wait LOL

Come here to try it for yourself!

Order This prawn pasta and had a fusion taste like Jap-Italian with Angus beef burger for Burpple one for one deal. Both dishes are great!
Carbonara is creamy, generous portion. Their satay is good too. It’s non-aircon place but there is enough fans and coolers around. Full house by 7pm on Saturday night. We walked in without reservations at 6.30pm and was given a seat.
Love the live band

Will come back for the live band and chill out with friends.

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.

Was at Taman Jurong Food House and chanced upon a long queue for Fong Hup Koka Noodle, so we decided to try it!

Luckily we were not rushing for time, because it took 30minutes from the long queue to order, and the long wait to wait for food to be prepared!

Got the Koka Noodle with seafood soup ($6) and Mee Hoon Kueh Noodle Soup ($4.50). This outlet reminds me of the famous kekoumian stall in Bukit Panjang (but the queue wait for that is even more insane)!

Between the seafood and non-seafood version, I preferred the non-seafood version! The minced meat was nicely marinated! On the other hand, the seafood items all tasted bland to me. Soup was comforting!

They seem to have many outlets all over Singapore! Head to the nearest Fong Hup Koka Noodle near to your home to try now!

Idk what happened to the lamb curry the previous time but this was bomb as usual

The beef was ABIT stringy tho

Established in March 2020, this brand serves up oddles of noodles. Supposedly named after someone's grandmother to evoke familial bonds.
.
Their braising gravy is thick and dark, bold with spices. The thick flat noodles have a gentle chew with grainy sweet flavour, contrasted by the crisp bean sprouts with vegetal sweet flavour.
.
The 5 spice roll is bite sized, tender and crunchy with meaty salty savoury flavour. There's chunky slices of braised pork belly, tender with meaty salty savoury herbal flavour.
.
A bouncy hard boiled chicken egg with eggy salty sweet flavour completes. Portion size is slightly smaller than elsewhere.
