Registered in June 1990 but operating since 1985, this stall was founded by Susan Koh, 3rd sister of the Koh Family behind the equally famous Ponggol Nasi Lemak and Mount Faber Nasi Lemak brands. Her stall is known for being the most artisanal and hands-on amongst the 3 brands, with unique Indonesian inspired dishes.
.
The long-grain basmati rice tends towards moist and sticky, with a fragrant but mild grainy earthy milky sweet salty flavour, light on salt and coconut milk. The crisp deep-fried ikan bilis / anchovies are the tiny version, crunching with mild salty savoury fishy flavour. The wobbly soft fried chicken egg carries eggy savoury sweet flavour. The soft otak-otak / otah / spiced mackerel fish paste has fishy savoury spice flavour. Most diners are happy with the juicy cucumbers with vegetal sweet flavour, which are free-flow and self-service.
.
There are 2 signature dishes here. The stir-fried petai / stink beans with shallots and wing beans in chili carries a bright crunch to texture, bursting with vegetal earthy bitter grassy savoury spice flavour. The ayam kicap manis / sweet and spicy soy sauce chicken wing is tender and juicy, the marinade lending a bold meaty sweet savoury salty spicy flavour. The thin sambal tumis / stir-fried chili paste has mild savoury salty spice flavour. Given their small-batch, handmade approach, no surprise they command premium pricing.

Established in June 2005 by wife-husband owners Masita Ghani and Mohammad Firuz Samuri and named after their son (Ashraff, nicknamed 'Aliff', who now helps out here), this stall is beloved for their traditional, unpretentious, everyday-comfort rendition.
.
The neatly plated dish has a bed of fragrant long-grain basmati rice, the aroma and taste of coconut milk and pandan / screwpine leaves gently perfuming the dish, carrying grainy earthy milky floral sweet flavour. The crispy crunchy deep-fried ikan bilis / anchovies is golden with a mild fishy salty savoury balanced flavour, while the juicy cucumber has vegetal sweet flavour, and the wobbly soft fried chicken egg carries eggy savoury sweet flavour.
.
The otak-otak / otah / spiced mackerel fish paste is soft with a lingering kick of fishy savoury spice flavour, while the deep-fried turmeric marinated chicken wing has a crisp exterior and a tender interior that bursts with meaty savoury salty spice flavour. Their chunky sambal tumis / stir-fried chili paste has additional red onions caramelised within, resulting in a pronounced sweet savoury spice flavour.

The prawn broth here is thick, aromatic, and sweet!
Before even entering the store, while turning around the corner, you could already smell it!
I ordered their Supereme Prawn Noodles with dry thick beehoon which was already very savoury on its own, and it goes perfectly with the heartwarming bowl of soup!
The prawn cracker was also amazingly crispy, it's definitely freshly fried.
Would come back again if I'm in the area!
The dry handmade bee hoon was springy and well-coated in a savoury sauce, topped with flavourful fried scallions. On the side, the seafood soup had a clean, light broth that carried a natural sweetness from the prawn and clams, rounded out with a gentle umami depth from the sliced pork, minced pork and meatball. The freshness of the seafood really came through, making the soup both comforting and refreshing. The green chili dip added a bright, spicy kick that tied everything together 》$11.90

Not the most economical bee hoon as I felt quite pricey compared to nearby coffeeshops offering similar plates at cheaper rates. This one came with a mix of kway teow and bee hoon, fish fillet, long beans, and bitter gourd, drizzled with curry sauce and topped with a dollop of sambal.
Looks good, but taste was rather normal or below average for me. The food leaned salty, though at least the basic flavour was there. I did like how they cooked the bitter gourd till its bitterness almost disappeared, lol. Sambal was solid. The noodles, however, need improvement as its lacking that shallot fragrance. Still, breakfast was filling thanks to the generous portion.

Had a great meal at Gu Zao Ren Taiwanese Porridge. The kampung chicken was tender, flavourful, and clearly well-prepared, while the Taiwanese porridge was smooth, comforting, and cooked just right. Simple, hearty dishes done really well, a great place for tze char too!
This was a delightful dive into classic Hainanese Zi Char. A treasure trove of comfort food, the Hainanese Pork Chop was the standout for me, succulent, with a beautifully crisp exterior and a signature tomato-based sauce that was tangy, rich, and utterly moreish. It perfectly showcased the unique heritage of Hainanese Western dishes. I paired it with the Premium Chicken Collagen Broth with Fish Maw, a deeply comforting, silky soup that felt nourishing with every spoonful. Washed down with a refreshing Iced Teh C, it was a symphony of familiar yet expertly executed flavours.
A must-visit for anyone seeking authentic, heartwarming Hainanese cuisine! Will be back!
The clear broth is light and comforting with that gentle sweetness Cheeky does so well. This set comes with generous portion of tender fish slices and minced meat, giving the bowl plenty of substance. The handmade bee hoon has a lovely springy texture that soaks up the broth beautifully, making each mouthful smooth, wholesome and hearty 》$8.80
