Been coming to Hatter Street for years! The decor is really cute and its a nice place to chill with friends over good ice cream! I personally love their dark chocolate (premium flavour) and their cookies and cream, and I would come here just for these 2 flavours. Their earl grey is not bad, and I’m not a fan of lavender so i didn’t like that flavour. We used burpple beyond for the 1-for-1 double scoop ice cream and its so worth it!

Lola’s has been around for many years, I remember coming here during my secondary school days, just chilling with friends and having some of their wings (which is STILL good!). I absolutely love their truffle fries - shoe string fries topped with lots of parmesan cheese! I ordered their basil pesto chicken sandwich, which i felt was average (chicken was a little dry). I enjoyed their big breakfast more though, which is really hearty, definitely will keep you full! Would recommend this place if you’re looking for a place to hang out and if you’re in the area! It can get crowded on the weekends though, so come early! :)

I must say, this place has one of the best Italian food in Singapore! Albeit a little cramped, the ambience of the restaurant gives off a wholesome vibe. We were so blown away by their starters and appetizers that their mains became quite underwhelming! Some appetizer must orders are - stuffed roman schiacciata, baked pork belly w/ wild fennel, and assorted pizzas. Trust me, they’re enough to fill your tummy up, you won’t need to order the mains anymore! Every time we go there, no matter how full we are, we’ll always order a lemon meringue tart. It’s not on the menu, but is displayed in the restaurant, so do ask for it if you feel like having a tangy and sweet dessert! Also, remember to reserve a table as it can get quite crowded. :)

We first tried this at Suntec City and to be honest, it actually works for us HAHAHA so if you’re having problems pulling a number 2, this might help! The drink is a little gassy (which I don’t like), but I guess that could help with letting out the gas if you feel bloated. We ordered the apple and pineapple (fermentate; there are 2 different types) flavoured drinks this time round! I find that the pineapple drink tastes a little wonky, but he orders the same thing every single time and loves it! The lychee flavoured drink is good too. This is definitely a healthier alternative to bubble teas and even B**st, because of the many health benefits :)

Compared to their neighbour/competitor(haha) Authentic Mun Chee Kee (AMCK), this place serves a relatively clear and hearty soup. The porky taste is not as strong as AMCK though. They give generous amounts of offal and their meatballs are made in house too. They do serve other dishes such as vegetables and vinegar pig trotters. I’d give this a 6.5/10 for the pig organ soup! You can give it a go if you happen to be around the area :)

This place is our go-to for affordable and delicious claypot dishes. We ordered the sesame oil chicken (with chilli), the sambal sotong with lady fingers and homemade ngoh hiang. They are generous with their portions (there was a lot of sotong and chicken!!!) and the sauces are not too salty. In my opinion, the ngoh hiang was only average tasting. But we would definitely go back for their sesame chicken, which is their signature dish. :)

It’s my first time trying the Thai food here and it was quite good! We ordered the garlic fried pork, tom yam soup, plain egg omelette and basil pork. They are generous with the portions, which makes the dishes really value for money! The tom yam soup was tangy and not too spicy. We opted for the seafood version, and there was a good amount of seafood in there. The soup is enough to feed 3-4 people. Overall, this place is affordable given the portion size and the food is pretty authentic! Will definitely come here again :)

I’ve never been a fan of Singapore-style BKT as it can get a bit too peppery for my liking, but I think this BKT has a really good balance, not too much pepper (though you can still see the pepper sediments at the bottom of the bowl) and not too herbal-y! The broth isn’t porky as well, for people who are sensitive to the smell/taste, the garlic in the soup helps to cut any gaminess. We had the ribs, which was fall-off-the-bone tender! The large portion gives you a generous serving of 4 ribs (with a good amount of meat on the bone). Really good comfort food, especially after you’ve been overseas for awhile. :)
