Had a very hearty meal. We ordered a table full of zi char dishes for dinner, and every dish was flavorful. The porridge texture is perfect.
Plenty of variety on the table from crisp bites to smoky skewers and garlicky veg, the lineup was hearty and satisfying. The spice and smokiness carried through most dishes nicely, making it a lively meal to share. The only miss for me was the mouthwatering chicken but everything else came together as a flavour-packed spread that felt balanced and fun. A spot that delivers on bold flavours and makes group dining feel like a proper feast.
Silky-smooth rice base, tender pork and earthy century egg. What really lifts it are the crispy youtiao bits scattered on top. It’s airy, golden and extra crunchy, giving every spoonful a satisfying bite 》$4 + $0.60 Minced Century Egg
The spicy chicken cubes (辣子鸡) never fails. It’s crunchy, fiery with chilies, peanuts and sweet onions that round out the heat. The shredded potato (土豆丝)is my other staple, crisp and tangy with that addictive bite.
First time adding mapo tofu to the mix . It’s silky smooth and savoury, though lighter on the numbing spice than expected. Still, it’s a gentle balance to the bolder dishes.

Tender chicken, potatoes, carrots and red chillies all simmered in a savoury soy-based gravy in a claypot. The sauce had that comforting balance of salty-sweet with a gentle herbal depth, perfect for spooning over fluffy white rice. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the chillies gave just enough heat to keep things lively. Everything’s well-cooked and soaked in flavour, though it leans more homestyle than punchy 》$7.80 + $1 Rice

FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS
Items we got: Lampino Iberico Chuletero, Tajima MBS 6-7 Wagyu Picanha, lemon ginger spritz and 1 sourdough
We ordered medium rare for both meats. The highlight was definitely the Wagyu – it had a really, really deep and intense beef flavour and also quite literally melted in your mouth.
The Iberico was not as soft as the Wagyu but still really flavourful and a definiterecommend. It was served with a lot of supporting elements (charred corn, a marsala sauce and mushrooms) that also perfectly balanced the Iberico's rich flavours and made it less heavy and "jelat".
Quite liked the sourdough, but the star has to be the seasonal fermented butter that came with it – they really need to start selling it in a jar!
The ginger lemon spritz came in a glass rimmed with salt and was refreshing! Perhaps a minor nitpick would be that I wish the ginger flavour could be a bit stronger, but anyone ordering it would definitely like it nonetheless.
Lastly, really appreciated the staff's tour of the dry-ageing and fermentation processes that Ingleside clearly is proud of. Also thought that the concept of using wood as just another ingredient was really unique.
Definitely would be coming back again during special occasions!
Pork set was extremely tender and filling!
Great food at The House Chungdam! Really enjoyed the Kimchi Soup here and great service as well!
[JOO CHIAT, SINGAPORE] can I just say that I don't really eat much teochew kuehs, but @ahyeessoonkueh's rendition made me a convert 😍 they have a variety of traditional kuehs to get and my family and I loved all of them!
One thing is constant among all of the kuehs that they whip up, and is that they are generous with their ingredients. All of their savoury kuehs are bursting with filling, and even their glutinous rice is full of dried shrimp which made it so flavourful!
As their yam and pumpkin cakes are full of dried shrimp and various ingredients, there were many layers of flavour and it's even nicer if you can pan fry pieces of them to get a crispy crust 🤤
Their prices are affordable as well, with their savoury kuehs mostly at $1.80 each and sweet kuehs at $1.30 each. You can get most of the items here online via pickup or delivery, which makes things much more convenient 😍 if you are craving for such kuehs, do consider them as your option!
Both dishes were good! Pesto sauce is thick & prawns were fresh. Skin of seabass was crispy.
