Freshly brewed tea poured over some sliced watermelon, green apple, lemon, calamansi lime

While the tea and fruit were definitely fresh, as someone used to sugarless tea, it did feel a tad too sweet as if the tea was doused in sugar.

Also at the end the tea was hard to drink; the fruits and lemon pulp were stuck, and it was full of lemon seeds.

Got the medium sized chicken rice ( $5.00 ) with liver. ( $1.00 )

Definitely one of the higher quality hawker stall chicken rice out there :) Notably, the soup was opaque rather than clear, reflecting the boiling of chicken bones for long hours. I could definitely taste the tonkotsu like thickness of the soup! Also, the chicken had vegtable acar with it, a nice and simple differentiation from other stalls. The chicken breast was surprisingly smooth while the liver was extremely creamy without any 'meaty' smell. While $6 might be pricey for hawker center chicken rice, I'd say it's worth your money considering the quality!

While the original price was $5.70, there was a 15% student discount so I actually got it for $4.80!

I got the "Less less sweet" option and the sugar level was just perfect for me. The tofu foam was really good; smooth, thick and creamy. It tasted like the trending cheese foams on milk teas except that the taste was more soy than cheese - kind of like a liquid tofu cream but in a pleasant way! The matcha was really good too! Rich and not astringent at all. My only pet peeve was that there were small bits of unwhiaked matcha at the bottom. Despite that, I think that overall this was a memorable drink, and that is worth the money especially with the student discount.

$2.80 for a small bowl of Laksa (Blood Cockles aka Xi Hum included)

I could taste the fresh laksa paste and coconut milk very disctinctly! The broth was perfect; rich but not too rich in a way that I could finish it without feeling it was 'jelak'! Noodles were fresh too, I opted for thick beehoon and it was slightly thinner than normal thick beehoon you get from other laksa stalls! It was topped with cockles, very fresh dried tofu and fishcakes, beansprouts and half a hard boiled egg. Laksa leaves and chili paste were self-service. Quality wise, definitely comparable with Katong Laksa and the cheap prices ($2.80 for small, $3.30 for large) definitely make this a place I'd go to again!
