My wife and I finally decided to try this prawn noodle restaurant after noticing the long queues forming outside on several occasions. Curiosity got the better of us, and we arrived around 7pm. As expected, there was already a line, and we waited for about 15 minutes before being seated at a table for two.
As we settled in, the rich, fragrant aroma of prawn broth filled the air, an appetising welcome that set the tone for what was to come.
I ordered the Zhup Zhup Supreme Prawn Noodle, which came with a generous medley of ingredients: prawns, pork ribs, prawn balls, pork shabu, and lala (clams). You have the option to choose between spicy dry or soup-based versions, followed by your preferred type of noodles.
My wife opted for the Seafood Paofan, which featured prawns and lala served with rice soaked in broth. We also decided to share a serving of their signature Ngoh Hiang on the side.
Both the prawn noodle soup and paofan were served in claypots, arriving at our table bubbling hot. The soup continued to boil within the pot as it was placed in front of us, adding to the anticipation. I must say this was hands down one of the best prawn soups I’ve ever had. The broth was incredibly rich and packed with umami, and the prawns were fresh and succulent. The paofan, made with the same flavourful broth, was equally impressive and comforting.
The Ngoh Hiang was a pleasant surprise because it was so crispy, not greasy, and paired wonderfully with their prawn crackers, which were light and delightfully crunchy. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite.
In short, this spot truly lives up to the hype. If you're a fan of prawn-based dishes, it's definitely worth a visit.
Just be prepared for a short wait because it's popular for a reason.
Tip of the day: they do accept reservations, so it’s worth booking in advance to skip the queue.

We decided to celebrate our anniversary tonight at Meadesmoore, having heard great things about their steaks, and we weren’t disappointed. Located on the second level, the restaurant has a lovely ambiance, with soothing music creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

The staff were exceptionally attentive from the moment we arrived. I had made reservations in advance, and the restaurant manager recognized me immediately upon mentioning my name. He graciously escorted us to a cozy corner table, just as I had requested.

For starters, we opted for the Chicharones, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. They were incredibly crispy and light, with no greasiness, and paired perfectly with the tangy pickle and chili sauce.

Of course, we came for the steak, and after the manager’s recommendation, I chose the Grass-fed Ribeye, while my wife went for the Wagyu Strip Loin. Both steaks were flawlessly charred over charcoal, delivering a perfect balance of tenderness, juiciness, and rich flavor. Chef Victor made a special effort to visit our table despite his busy kitchen, ensuring we were enjoying our meal.

We wrapped up the evening with the Pavlova Flotante for dessert—a delightful mix of fresh fruits, sorbet, and whipped cream, with the perfect touch of sweetness to finish the meal on a high note.

Our experience at Meadesmoore was nothing short of wonderful, and we look forward to returning soon to explore more of their signature dishes.

My daughter decided to celebrate an early Father's Day with me, and she took me to Hopscotch at Capitol Arcade, a charming restaurant offering a variety of Western dishes.

To mark this special occasion, we decided to try some of their signature cocktails. I opted for the “A Decade in Time,” which was served in an elegant hourglass glass, beautifully paired with an infinity mirror display showcasing light paintings of memorable moments. My daughter chose the “Wish Upon a Lantern,” inspired by the traditional Chinese sky lantern. The cocktail came with a paper lantern for us to write our wishes on before the staff set it on fire in front of us, revealing the drink inside. It was an incredibly unique and memorable presentation that added a special touch to our celebration.

We also ordered a selection of appetizers, including mushroom and lobster bisque soup, which was rich and flavorful, accompanied by crab cakes served with fried mautou and a spicy chili crab sauce. The sambal grilled octopus confit was another highlight, bursting with flavor.

For the main course, my daughter had the duck confit with foie gras, which was expertly prepared, the meat was tender and perfectly cooked. I went for the signature black garlic ribeye steak which was served with bone marrow butter. The steak was juicy and tender and I savored every bite.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the food, and the staff were exceptional attentive and thoughtful, making us feel pampered from the moment we walked in until the end of our meal.

Hopscotch is a fantastic spot to create lasting memories with its unique cocktails and great food. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a special dining occasion.

I enjoyed an unforgettable lunch at Tan Ser Seng Herbs Restaurant, savoring their signature Turtle Soup and Ginseng Black Chicken Soup. Both broths were rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced, highlighting the natural sweetness of the meats. The turtle meat was especially tender with a prized gelatinous texture, while the black chicken was equally flavorful.
I also highly recommend their side dishes and I have ordered the Jade Tofu and Homemade Prawn Roll which was served piping hot with fresh ingredients and outstanding textures. A complimentary ice cream for dine-in customers was a thoughtful bonus and the refreshing drinks helped beat the afternoon heat.
Service was warm, knowledgeable, and attentive which enhancing the overall experience. If you're looking for traditional, soul-warming herbal soups prepared with care and authenticity, this is the place to visit.
