Delicious prawn noodle! The prawn soup broth was served in a claypot had a hearty flavor that was enhanced by crunchy pork fat and fragrant fried shallots. The ngoh hiang platter was crispy and complements well with the sweet sauce provided.
A hearty pot of baked egg in tomato stew with pancetta, ham, chorizo and baby spinach. Topped with almond and feta. Good enough to have it all by yourself or share it among friends.
A must try for gula melaka lovers. Double espresso with perfectly steamed milk and gula melaka. The sweetness from the gula melaka balances well with the coffee, making it a very palatable drink no matter hot or iced.
Straight-forward Tex-Mex in the form of a formidable deep-fried burrito stuffed with chicken, cheese and black beans, then topped with guacamole and sour cream. A pool of tomato-ey enchilada sauce resides at the bottom but we definitely needed more for a chimichanga that size. No surprises here, just familiar tastes that satisfy.

Taste: 3/5
Established since 1979, this heritage brand serves the most pricey rendition around, being among the forerunners to transit from humble eatery to full fledged zi char restaurant.
.
Their poached chicken is the star, to the extent that roast chicken is only available by advance order. The chicken meat is certainly satisfying with a tender bouncy chew, and fresh sweet savoury flavour.
.
The rice is decadently fluffy and buttery, with a glossy sheen from the chicken fat, having bold savoury sweet grainy oily flavour.
.
The iconic trio of dark sweet soy sauce with salty sweet savoury flavour, bright garlic chili with sharp spicy herbal sweet flavour, and crushed ginger with vegetal earthy herbal sweet spice flavour, completes this.

Their food is pretty good, had no problems with it. The only comment is it took 30 mins for them to make the food to go, and they didn't text me, so I had to come over and ask if my order is ready.
Their tom yum sauce carries the aroma of lemongrass & carries just a slight spicy kick š¶! With firm linguini generously coated with the luscious creamy sauce, this plate is served with a generous portion of springy prawns š¦ & white clams š¦Ŗ.
Read an influencerās review that the sashimi were thick. Went by to try but disappointed to note that the slices were not as āthickā as claimed.
Even when the menu mentioned that the salmon sashimi were āthick cutā, saw the dish that someone ordered and they looked the same as the slices in my bowl.
Price point at $15 is a little steep for the salmon and ikura bowl for a coffeeshop setting.
While waiting, tried the yuzu chicken from the western stall. Quite disappointing as well as it lacked the yuzu oomph despite it being āa dish which many orderedā as claimed by the folks who manned the stall.
