Chee cheong fun is one of my favourite dishes! The chee cheong fun served here are thin and soft, similar to the HK style (instead of the thick ones in SG). They had several options such as curry, red/black sweet sauce, ‘yam cake’ which is their specialty, and you can also choose deep-fried yong tau foo sides to go along with it. The portions were very substantial.
We opted for:
- Scallion oil: this was your scallion oil noodle but in cheong fun style. Very light and delicious!
- Black sweet sauce: of course you have to compare the traditional! This was a bit too sweet for my liking, but the sauce was more thin compared to the thick sauce you get in SG
Spent total RM12 for these two + 2 cups of kopi-C kosong
For the veggies out there, there is also a vegetarian restaurant that serves dim sum next door!
10/10 would recommend for the food, ambience and service! Would definitely come back again!
Opted for 1-for-1 on the mains: Dal Makhani and Palak Paneer ($14.90). Great flavour and definitely did not scrimp on the ingredients as every scoop had a heap of lentils / paneer and you could taste the spices as well.
The dishes went really well with just the plain basmati rice and naan (we chose the garlic naan).
Lastly definitely need to commend the server (didn’t manage to get his name) who was very attentive and prompt in serving us, and even when the restaurant got a bit crowded. He was doing everything single-handedly from explaining the burpple deal, ordering, serving (+ topping up our water) and payment. The food came really fast as well.
A good meat-free option, this was dry noodles with eggplant and tofu. Taste was good but may get a bit jelak from the sweetness.
This dish shouldn’t make sense but it does! Chanced upon this place which is a step down from Din Tai Fung quality but what an interesting and delicious dish. The egg had a strong wok hey flavour too!
Costed ~RM12
Can’t remember the name of this dish but the good thing about this place is that they have a whole vegetarian page! Nothing to rave about if you’re there for the local food but at least the meat-free friends have options. This tasted like Lu Rou (made with mock meat and tofu). If anyone knows what type of cooking method this interesting egg is pls let me know!!
Nasi lemak with Chicken Meat ~RM18
This was their specialty. Decent nasi lemak but of course cannot compare to road side stalls in terms of taste and price. Chose the chicken meat (breast meat) instead of the whole thigh which was slightly cheaper.
Dry Mee Siam with Chicken Meat ~RM17
Huge portion that lasted over 2 meals. Mee siam was spicy and went well with the sambal. Chose the chicken meat (breast meat) instead of the whole thigh which was slightly cheaper. A bit pricier than street food but food was decent.
Dropped by this cafe in JB for great iced coffee to battle the heat. No extra charge for iced drinks and paid total RM16 for an iced latte and an iced americano. Staff were super friendly as well and offered us free wifi! Can expect it to get busy on weekends tho
The famous Hiap Joo bakery was crowded and sold out but we managed to find this less hyped place which had a variety of pastries and bread. Bought the kaya buns which had a good bun-to-filling ratio (at least for me) and bread loaf which tastes exactly like kopitiam toast bread. Highly recommend!!
Came here without reservation on Friday night and it was packed - lucky that we managed to get a seat! Burpple discount is only available with minimum spend of $60. Quick service despite the full house and the staff were still quite attentive.
Veggie burrito bowl ($16)
Decent portion but nothing outstanding, the rice was quite oily especially at the bottom.
Shakshouka ($16)
We chose both vegetarian (with mushrooms) and non-vegetarian (with beef kofta). Such a huge and filling portion, very worth even without the 20% burpple deal! There were two large eggs, pesto and feta cheese as well, plus fresh sourdough bread on the side. Definitely would recommend!
Iced coffee ($5)
Nice and refreshing on a hot day!
Overall I’ve been to Bread Yard a few times now and have not been disappointed with the food and price point! Very good to hang out and stop by even for a small with fresh bread and pastries.
$7 after adding a fried egg. BEST salted egg chicken I’ve had in Singapore. This portion is good enough to feed 2 because it was just never ending. The chicken came hot and crispy which was drenched in the creamy sauce.
