Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

We ordered the XXL Mookata Platter ($53.80) means around $13 per pax.
Ideal for groups of four of us, the plate is decked with 10 various flavours of chicken or pork, accompanied by a smaller vegetable platter consisting of corn, enoki mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, spinach, raw egg, and rice vermicelli noodles for your soup base I think. The Thai chilli sauces are great too! Definitely highly recommended to visit with your friends

Checked out this affordable Chinese la mian noodle place that’s even more worth it when 1-1 with Burpple beyond! Texture-wise, the hand pulled noodles were springy and of good firmness. While the taste is not the most memorable, the simple and comforting flavours of both the mushroom sauce and tomato soup made for an enjoyable meal. Especially loved pairing them with their homemade mala chilli for added kick and fragrance.

The tomato soup base was light and natural tasting, with a good balance of sweet and sour acidity. It came with four tender prawn paste balls that had added pops of brininess from the ebiko. The dry noodles had a earthy light sauce and tender thinly cut beef shank plus a well-marinated onsen egg. Not sure if it was because we added noodles ($1) but some of it had dried up and clumped together; The bowl could have done with more generous portion of and richer mushroom sauce.

Decided to check out the latest Korean-Chinese restaurant entrant that people have touted as Obba’s competitor. While some reviews have praised it for being ‘authentic’, we personally found it to fall short. Still a good place to satisfy Korean food cravings but not worth the 30-45min wait and would rather opt to queue 30+ mins more at nearby Obba. We appreciated the accompanying sides of kimchi, preserved vegetables and radish. While not particularly memorable on their own, they provided a refreshing sour/spicy balance to the main dishes. We also completed the meal with 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢 ($20) which made for an enjoyable sweet-tangy-milky pairing.

We enjoyed the 𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐮𝐲𝐮𝐤 that was crisp deep fried pork paired with sweet-sour sticky sauce. While the meat could have been more tender, the fragrant potato starch batter was nicely crispy, making for addictive bites. P.s we always choose to leave the sauce on the side for dipping so that the meat stays crispier for much longer!

The 𝐉𝐣𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐠 while rich in seafood flavour, felt somewhat watered down and lacking spice and depth beyond the predominant prawn taste. While quite generous in ingredients with mussels, squid, mushrooms, bell peppers, felt that they could have been fresher and less cooked for better texture and taste.

In general, their wheat noodles were soft, lacking the springy and al-dente texture we enjoy. Their 𝐉𝐣𝐚𝐣𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐦𝐲𝐞𝐨𝐧 had distinct savory black bean flavour but leaned towards the sweeter side, was highly stingy with meat, and lacked the wokhei that we love in Obba’s version.

We also tried the 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐛𝐬 ($18/M), 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐠𝐠 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 ($14/S), and 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐆𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐝 𝐎𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞 ($12/S) (all 4 ⭐️) which were well-executed but not particularly memorable. The kind of dishes that we wouldn’t mind ordering again, but might prefer to try others amidst its vast menu.
