Reiwa Pork Soba $12 Off the beaten track(extremely) in one of the sleepiest HDB estates I’ve been to, @reiwasoba.sg is opened by a Japanese couple and they sell buckwheat soba freshly made on-site by their Thai cook(who has also left her mark on the menu with some Thai dishes). To keep costs low, they run the business out of a kopitiam in Kelantan Lane, with an idyllic view of Rochor River. I braved the journey there mostly to satisfy my curiosity for such an odd combination of location, culture and circumstance, as well as for the food of course. The noodles are decent - delicate and slightly firm, and go well dipped into the aromatic tsuyu made with chilli oil, chicken and fish broth. With only a few thin slices of Spanish pork, $12 is a little on the steep side and I left still feeling hungry, but the quality is definitely there. #BurppleTakeaways Taste: 3.5/5

Mango Salad ($4/7) 🙂 Both authentically Thai and Japanese, Reiwa Soba stands out as a very special stall located inside a quaint coffee shop at Kelantan Road. It rooted from a special partnership between the original Thai stall owner Owaran and regular customer Shinji, who introduced a spicy tsuyu soba dip inspired by soba restaurants in Tokyo. Don’t forget to order the refreshing Mango Salad ($4/$7), a great side dish to complement the soba!

Chicken Soba ($10) 😋 Both authentically Thai and Japanese, Reiwa Soba stands out as a very special stall located inside a quaint coffee shop at Kelantan Road. It rooted from a special partnership between the original Thai stall owner Owaran and regular customer Shinji, who introduced a spicy tsuyu soba dip inspired by soba restaurants in Tokyo. The flavours complemented Owaran’s Thai food well and hence it evolved into Reiwa Soba. Pictured is the Chicken Soba ($10). Soba here are made fresh from 100% buckwheat, hence giving a firm and yet slightly coarse-bitey texture, along with the subtle fragrance of the grain. The tsuyu was not very spicy, and it was quite different from regular tsuyu! Recommend to try this at least once!

Michelin Duck Rice Michelin Braised Duck stall at Ghim Moh Food Center. Really good braised duck and offals. Arrived at 12.30 and the queue was about 18 pax ahead of me. Ordered duck meat for two and added other stuff. Total damage was $18.80 for two persons and the plate came with liver, gizzard. Tau Pok, braised egg and braise pork belly. Rice was drenched with braise sauce and really so delicious that you can have it on its own. The duck meat, boneless, was very tender and when paired with their special chilli sauce, you can’t stop. Unlike others, their soup had no herbal taste but yet it was refreshing to drink. Well deserving their Michelin Bib Gourmand.

Braised Duck @ Chuan Kee Boneless Braised Duck 全记 | Ghim Moh Market & Food Centre | 20 Ghim Moh Road #01-04. Yup! We queued for an approximately 40 minutes to lay our hands on this extremely popular Hokkien braised duck at Ghim Moh. Love ❤️ their gooey, sweet-salty & savoury braised sauce drenched over the deboned duck meat and served on the side to drizzle over rice. However, it was the beautifully thin layer of fats underneath the skin that made the long wait truly worth it. 😋 #burpple #burpplesg #stfoodtrending #straitstimesfood #sgfood #sgeats #foodsg #wheretoeatsg #whattoeatsg #sghawker #hawkersg #chuankeebonelessbraisedduck

Duck Rice Set (++meat) (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) Long queues aside, Chuan Kee serves one of my favorite go-to braised duck rice in the west! I always go for the $6 set because of the generous portion of braised duck, braised tofu and half an egg stacked atop the yam rice - very value-for-money! It’s hard to pinpoint my favorite on the plate, considering everything was well-executed especially the braised duck. Every piece was succulent and scant of gamey flavor, you’d need to eat it with their tangy garlic chilli! The rice was fragrant and fluffy, and I LOVED the luscious sauce coating over it. Some places serve a sweeter variant of the braised sauce, but theirs is so packed with savory umami which elevated all the other components. Also, this is one of the few places I would eat their braised peanuts cos the softness is just right!

Salmon Sashimi (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) These insanely thick-cut slabs (or chunks, for that matter) will set you back for $16 a plate, but the rich fattiness and melt-in-the-mouth texture of the fresh salmon slices was to die for! The sweet mirin/soy sauce marinate makes it even more decadent though it can get quite surfeiting due to the thickness, so it's best shared with your friends!⁣

Chicken Curry Katsu (⭐️⭐️⭐️) The Chicken Katsu Curry is also decent with a crispy chicken cutlet and robust curry sauce, though a larger portion & more veggies other than the sad carrot smidgens would have made the dish even better.

Mentai Don (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) Can't go wrong with their Salmon Mentaiko Don either! The salmon slices were well seared on the outside while slightly raw on the underside, and the smoky char on the mentaiko sauce elevated the umami flavours.

Unagi Liver Order the donburi which include Ungai Liver. It tasted like squid to me which I would say it is not bad and something you don't see in a restaurant often. The Umaki egg is good but the Unagi is being chopped into pieces which I hope that it remain intact in a piece instead. Generally a good meal.

HITSUMABUSHI Unagi is tender with slight chewy bite; thinly coated with unagi sauce & charcoal-grilled to perfection with smoky taste & slight crisp from the sauce; sat on top a bed of soft & fluffy Japanese rice; came with chopped spring onions, freshly grated wasabi, yellow pickled radish, seaweed soup & a pot of light & flavorful broth for the rice; satisfying bowl of unagi rice worth a try..

Unagi Donburi Unagi Donburi Feature thicker sliced chunks unagi, which allows to taste the natural flavour of the eel meat more. Every bite is heaven to bite into the beautifully char smoky sweet skin & then the tender plumpness within. Highly recommended! Best. Unagi. Ever. With such a great dining experience, I am very sure I will be back again soon.

Set Meal + Salad Buffet Finally decided to go for Hamburg Steak Keisuke not only for their meats but their salad & egg buffet. Ordered the classic Hamburg Steak & Deep Fried Set (consist of 2 prawn, chicken & beef) for a total of $53.70 including gst and service charge. The deep fried item was delicious especially the prawn. Of course, the egg (especially the tamago) is really delicious and would something I can continuously go for.

Hamburg The Hamburg is not bad. Particularly liked the free flow sides bar. Convenient location too
