Had the yuzu rosu set, meat was tender and juicy. Love the free flow rice and cabbage.

Kagoshima Rosu Katsu Kuro Kare Set (S$20++)
Deep-fried crispy Kagoshima pork loin katsu with charcoal black curry set. Served with Japanese white rice, cabbage & arugula, pickles, tonjiru (pork miso soup)

The soup was kind of porky. Free flow of rice, cabbage & arugula, pickles. Complimentary pickled radish and sesame seeds to grind. Help yourself to condiments such sesame dressing, shoyu dressing, tonkotsu sauce, and chilli powder.

The search for unique Roti Prata has never quite stopped for us here; after all, it does seem that we are lacking a few of the more unique interpretations of Roti Prata in Singapore when comparing against the varieties of Roti Canai in Malaysia. One variant that we had been searching pretty much high and low for apart from the Prata Tsunami is the Roti Canai Sarang Burung — a rendition that is also dubbed the “Bird Nest” Roti Canai which seemed to have become viral in Malaysia a while ago; and aptly named so as well, considering how the Roti Canai is shaped much like bird nest and holds two sunny side-ups in between. While finding this dish around Singapore has proven to be rather difficult, we finally chanced upon An-Nur Shenton Way Famous that actually serves up the Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema whilst walking past the Broadway coffeeshop at Blk 19 Marsiling Lane — placed at the acrylic shield surrounding the prata-making areas was a poster indicating the availability of Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema and Prata Tsunami. Turns out, An-Nur Shenton Way Famous isn’t particularly an indie establishment; the brand is more of a chain that operates out of coffee shops with three locations in operation — the other two outlets being located at Blk 198 Punggol Field and 36 Chai Chee Avenue.

Some information worth noting about the Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema from An-Nur Shenton Way Famous is that it is not available within a specific timeframe within the day; for the outlets at Marsiling and Punggol, the Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema is unavailable between 12 noon to 4pm, while the item is unavailable at the Chai Chee outlet from 1pm to 4pm. It is priced at $6.50 per piece, and that the preparation time required for the item sits around thereabouts of 5mins if there is space for them to prepare it on the grill (this is especially given that the Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema is sized larger than the usual-sized Roti Prata. Noticing how the Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema is being prepared, the Prata is first shaped into a ring-like form with a hole in the middle; somewhere in between, the folks will crack the eggs that would eventually become the sunny side-up at the centre. Once done, the Mutton Keema will be plated on one side of the Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema with green chillies that adds a tinge of spiciness and a visual contrast. The Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema also comes with a mutton curry that comes with a consistency almost similar to Dhal as well.

Digging into the Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema, we really liked how they seemed to have aced the doneness of the sunny side-up just about right here; the egg yolks being all molten and flowy as one pokes them with a fork. The consistency of the Roti Prata is pretty similar to that of plain Roti Prata, though the Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema comes with Roti Prata that is heftier than the usual plain ones out there; there is definitely some tension as one pulls the Roti Prata with the fork and spoon — all that with a slightly crisp texture especially around the edges and comes with a fragrance of the dough used. We had initially thought the Mutton Keema to be the most intimidating component here; we were impressed with how they have diced them into small cubes that are almost equally-sized providing a good, consistent bite which was surprisingly not too gamey. In fact, it was the mutton curry that was served on the side which upped the gaminess of the dish for us — perhaps something which was included for those whom would like a stronger note of mutton than what the Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema originally comes with. Considering its price at $6.50, we reckon that it might have been more economical to travel into JB for it; this is especially considering that we had given their outlet at Marsiling Lane a go which is almost as near as to the checkpoint that one can get. That being said, if going overseas just isn’t quite your thing or if one resides around Bedok and Punggol and develops huge cravings for the Bird Nest Roti Canai, the Roti Sarang Burung Mutton Keema from An-Nur Shenton Way Famous is as close as it gets to the viral Roti Canai Sarang Burung here!

Woodlands is a neighbourhood that isn’t particularly remarkable especially when one takes a look at the variety of food options that are being served in the neighbourhood; that being said, it does seem that there are little surprises hidden in the neighbourhood every now and then. Arabica isn’t a particularly new stall that operates out of a stall at Marsiling Mall Hawker Centre; the oldest Google reviews in existence for the stall having been dated to a time period of about a year ago. That being said, this seems to be one of the few — if not the only stall that serves up Middle Eastern / Arabic / Turkish fare in the neighbourhood. The stall itself should be relatively easy to locate; the stall bearing a brown and white checkered aesthetic that is likely to grab one’s attention when they walking down the area of the hawker centre that is populated with Halal food stalls. The items served up at Arabica are dishes that one would typically find at such food stalls — think Kebab that is served with different types of starches / carbs (rice, fries, wrap etc.), Lamb / Chicken Mandi, Pide, Baked Rice and more; the only dessert being listed on the menu of Arabica would be the Kunafa.

Since we were visiting Arabica for the very first time, we decided to give their Kebab with Fries a go so that we can focus much on the kebabs that they have to offer. There is some language barrier to be expected when making the order here — there was a slight misunderstanding during ordering where they had thought we either wanted the Kebab with Rice or the Quesadillas when we had made our order specifically for the Kebab with Fries; we also noted that we were served with and charged for the chicken variant of the dish despite us mentioning we wanted the Mix that consists of beef and chicken. That being said, we also subsequently noted that they only had one kebab machine that is loaded with only chicken; they probably only had a single type of meat to offer during the day and time we made our visit. On first look, the Kebab with Fries (Chicken) comes in a portion that is slightly smaller than what one would expect from stalls like that — that being said, we were also glad that the portion wasn’t too enormous and hence was slightly easier to finish. Apart from the chicken kebab and the fries, the Kebab with Fries (Chicken) also came with mayonnaise and chili drizzled atop, as well as tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber and onions to balance everything out.

Thought they were a little heavy-handed on the sauces though it was also worth mentioning that it did not feel particularly overwhelming; the fries were at best decent being crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, though were nothing much to comment about otherwise. The star here would be the Chicken Kebab though; the Chicken Kebab was moist and juicy — no doubt it does lack some of the smokiness that kebabs from other establishments may come with, but there was never a moment that they felt dry. We also liked the flavours from the marination of the meat as well; tangy and a little sweet — very satisfying. The mix of vegetables provided a good crunch and a refreshing zing that makes a good break between all the fries and meat. Overall, a pretty satisfying affair — we have definitely had less tasty kebabs and this pretty much surpassed those for sure; quite a good find within a neighbourhood that is known for not having particularly impressive food options as well. Even the Kunafa was satisfying — the pastry wasn’t oily and we liked how they had given sufficient syrup and cream to douse it in for more flavours; also came with crushed pistachio for a slight nuttiness. We paid $7 for the Kebab with Fries (Chicken) and $10 for the Kunafa — the prices of the Kunafa especially would not be what one would consider having on a regular basis, though it does serve as a good option to have for a bit of change from the usual hawker fare indeed.

Was just going around Marsiling Mall deciding on what to grab for dinner there when we found a relatively unfamiliar sight in one of the middle rows of the hawker centre — we were initially wanting to give the new Western food stall a go but we just could not find ourselves giving Joy Pan Authentic Yam Abacus a go after passing by it. Occupying a stall that is right beside the outlet of 石年 at Marsiling Mall Hawker Centre, Joy Pan Authentic Yam Abacus is a new addition to the food centre that seems to be especially distinct considering its choice of a brown signboard — rather atypical of hawker stalls around the island. As the namesake of the stall suggests, Joy Pan Authentic Yam Abacus does seem to be a stall that is primarily focused on their Yam abacus seed offerings — the menu offers both a Prawn Yam Abacus (also listed as a signature item) and a Yam Abacus as dishes available at Joy Pan Authentic Yam Abacus. For those whom are looking for something apart from Yam Abacus Seeds, Joy Pan Authentic Yam Abacus also does offer other dishes such as Hong Kong Style Braised Beef, Pork Noodles, Beef Brisket Noodles and Tom Yum Noodles — just so if one is liking to have a more standard sort of carb for their meal.

Joy Pan Authentic Yam Abacus actually offers two portion sizes of their Yam Abacus Seed dishes here — a small and a large portion, while patrons can also opt for their Yam Abacus seeds to come in either Dark Sauce, Tom Yum or Sambal variants. We found ourselves going for the Yam Abacus with Tom Yum in the small portion size. The Yam Abacus comes with all the usual suspects that one would expect to be served with the dish — think black fungus, scraps of mushrooms, minced pork etc., while elements such as fried shallots, coriander and sambal chili are all optional. We hadn’t quite had Yam Abacus for quite a while — the dish being difficult to find around the island but the Tom Yum variant definitely did sounded like an innovation somewhere that is pretty much their own unique take. No doubt the dish tasted like how it was intended to be; the earthiness and bouncy chew from the mushrooms and black fungus, as well as the meatiness and the firm bite from the minced pork — all these went well with the savouriness and crispness of the fried shallots and that unique hint of flavour from the coriander. What really surprised us was how the Tom Yum sauce gave the Yam Abacus such a good spin of flavours however — there was underlying hint of sour-ish tang that went so well with the savoury sambal, with both elements lending a hand to provide a hint of spiciness to the dish that should do fine for those tolerable to moderate levels of spiciness; the Yam abacus seeds being well-sized to chew in a single mouthful whilst carrying a good bouncy chew with it. Yam Abacus Seeds are quite a rare find across the island; glad that the ones from Joy Pan Authentic Yam Abacus were pretty decent — all that with their own twist that makes them all the more interesting. A spot that fans of yam abacus should add to the list to check out!

I thought nice idea, one-pax army stew. But it's a scam. Not only was it just kimchi soup with more ingredients, it's an insult to call this Korean. The soup was bland and the ingredients were bland, a twisted achievement when you can make luncheon meat and hotdog bland. 20km drive from my residence and both stalls I patronised were horrible.

I liked the crisp coating of batter. The batter on bf's fried fish was nicer (like vietnamese netting fried spring roll). Fish itself is average, like what u get at normal western stalls. the seasonal veg was nice, but a bit too oily. Overall decent, we came bc we realised we haven’t eaten it in like 10 years. But I think it was nicer last time. It’s not not nice, but I won’t crave for this.
