Their signature Brown Sugar Boba Pearl Milk with Cream Mousse ($5.30) is a surprisingly refreshing blend of cold, creamy fresh milk, and thick streaks of brown sugar syrup. The resulting concoction is luscious and cloying that evenly flavours both the small and large pearls laying at the bottom of the drink.
.
Would I drink it again? Absolutely. Would I queue an hour for it? Absolutely not.

It always manages to get me excited when I see the gelatinous layer of fat under the skin of the chicken meat.
.
The meat is served cold after it’s ice bath, with firm chicken flesh that holds so much pure poultry flavour, and a very simple dressing of soy sauce and sesame oil.
.
The rice is fragrant and oily, the perfect foil for the clean and smooth chicken flesh. Paired with oodles of the ginger and chilli sauce, each bite just slides down your throat with little to no effort.
.
You also get a free flow of very flavourful chicken feet and peanut soup. Come early to ensure you manage to get the chicken feet, which have been simmering for so long, they’re one step away from complete disintegration.

However, the food I had yesterday was quite exceptional. The braised pig trotters ($12) were served sliced up for convenience, and were soft and so meltingly tender that it was near impossible to pick it up with forks. It was drowned in a thick gravy that paired excellently with rice.
.
They also offer a variety of set lunches that were very value for money. At $8.90 NETT, I got a pig trotter rice (I know, again?) that came with a fiery and creamy spicy coconut soup, a drink of your choice, and a fragrant chendol dessert.
.
I’m still a bit iffy on this owing to my bad first experience, it might have just been an off-day for them, but this second time trying left me very satisfied.

We ordered the Ma La set, and we decided to make it a carnivorous affair. Filled with multiple orders of sliced beef and pork belly, with the flavours from the meat enhancing the hot chilli oil, and only the occasional Chinese cabbage and oyster mushroom to punctuate the meat madness, this is truly a spicy, numbing pot that exuded flavour in every drop of sauce.
.
I couldn’t come here and NOT order the skewers, so I made sure to get my fill of my favourites, the pork intestines. They were as perfect as ever. The slight gaminess might be off-putting to some, but to me, it’s the colon cologne that’s what makes eating innards so wonderful.

A crispy fluffy oily youtiao dunked into a silky beancurd with a lightly sweet syrup. With cold soya milk to wash it all down with, it’s really simple, but oh so satisfying.

The grilled intestines are a definite must-try here. It’s lightly crispy on the outer rind, but the inside is incredibly juicy and melts away once it touches the tongue. It’s grilled together with slices of green chilli that’s spicy and refreshing, to cut through it’s fattiness.
.
The other must try are the beef tendons, which had the texture of a jellybean, but with a great beefy flavour that is nicely complemented by the peppercorn spice dusted over it.

I really liked the tender Chicken Jhalfrezi which was well seasoned throughout, and the Makai Palak, basically spinach with corn and cooked to a sweet, mushy, slightly gooey consistency. The Bhindi Dowpiza was also really good, it had a zing and sweetness from caramelised onions, followed by the crunchy and slimy lady fingers.
.
The roast section had a lackluster siew yok, but the OP Ribs were great. It was meltingly tender and juicy. Try and ask for the entire bone, it’s where all the most flavourful pieces are found ;)
.
The seafood section had some hits and misses. The winners were the snow crab legs which were salty, sweet, and fresh, alongside the plump, juicy oysters that went perfect with just a slight squeeze of lemon on top. Unfortunately, the lobsters didn’t have much flavour to them, and the scallops and mussels were alright at best.

I don’t have a huge sweet tooth, but the Pumpkin Agnolotti ($26) with Alba White Truffle was the perfect mix between sweet and savoury. Delicate pasta squares are filled with a pumpkin mash, and drizzled with a rich sauce that pairs perfectly with the sweet pumpkin filling.
.
The soft brioche toast was paired with a buah keluak shell, hollowed out and stuffed with a foie gras mousse. The spread was gamey, sweet and so good you could, and I did, eat it straight from the shell.
.
The main was grilled Iberico pork pressa, which we were told was a cut of the shoulder meat. It was perfectly done, with a nice seared crust on the outside, and an extremely juicy and tender middle. It also had a smoky aftertaste, not unlike bacon.
.
We ended the meal with a MIND-BLOWING Pistachio Panna Cotta, prepared by a chef that hails from Malaysia and has pretty much made this dish her own.
For me, desserts tend to be an afterthought, just a way to close off a meal, but the panna cotta here had me speechless when I took a bite. It was a playground of textures, the combination of juicy orange bits, creamy panna cotta, orange gelee, and pistachio crumble all contrasted each other, and had me looking forward to each spoonful. Before I knew it, I had polished the bowl clean. I will say this, if you can only try one thing, make it the Pistachio Panna Cotta, you will not regret it.

The warm and smooth century egg and pork ball rice congee ($4.50) full of century egg bits and handmade pork balls melded together with a half-cooked egg, and was greedily scooped up with a hot and crispy you tiao. Absolutely soothing.

I hear there’s a huge behind-the-scenes family drama that explains why there’s another Eng’s across the road, but that’s not what I was there for.
.
To me, it was all about balance. The sauce was savoury yet clean, the noodles were eggy and chewy, yet soft and easily downed. The wantons were on the smaller side, but flavourful and didn’t have any of the flour taste still on the wrapper. The char siew was tender, but I’d prefer it fattier.
.
A large serving is $5.50, comes with a nondescript bowl of soup, and is surprisingly filling.

Caught in their own kelong, the sea bass had firm, juicy flesh, without any ‘fishiness’ to it at all. Best paired with the sambal dip served on the side, for a good chilli kick to add to the flavour.

Not to say that the others were bad, the Ferrero Rocher was rich, nutty and chocolatey, while the Earl Grey flavour was sharp and intense. However, the Blue Milk was next level. It managed to somehow bring a strong milky richness, yet remained amazingly light and ethereal on the palate.
.
Eaten with a crispy and fluffy waffle, it makes for a wonderful dessert.
