A lil gem along Circuit Road.
Heavenly Snacks 天下小吃 serves delectable fun-sized pieces of muah chee. I find these dollops of glutinous rice dough more refined than typical muah chee stalls because it's way less oily.
100g of the brown sugar white muah chee (peanut) goes for $2.50 and the brown sugar black muah chee (black sesame) goes for $2.80!
The ideal tummy-warming soup for the recent afternoon showers, Seng Kee Mushroom Minced Meat Noodle’s Fish Maw Soup Noodles ($10) didn’t disappoint at all. Sending me to umami heaven with a single sip, the incredible stock was robust, savoury and layered with an amazing sweetness. And be prepared to brave the constant slow-moving queue, as ours took a good half-hour wait on a weekend morning but was rewarded with a well-simmered and well-executed bowl at the end of it! Derived from boiling a chock-full of ingredients, the full-bodied broth also contained a generous amount of sliced lean meat, minced meat, liver, braised mushrooms, and the star of the show - tender fish maw. Yum!

Came by with a friend who's been here and has had almost everything on their menu. You'd might be surprised that instead of the usual sweet Japanese brown curry that we're all familiar with, Tengawa serves up a savoury white version! They have 5 items on the menu currently - Premium Ebi Fry, Juicy Hamburg, Crunchy Chicken Katsu, White Curry Seafood Udon and Iberiko Katsu, with another dish (Mayo Salmon Katsu) launching soon. Thought it was quite pricey at first but every set comes with their Tengawa Special Chawanmushi (had a very smooth texture with hints of truffle), plus FREE FLOW clear clam soup, pickled vegetables and rice!
The white curry has its color due to the addition of Hokkaido milk. Wasn't really a fan at first but I've got to say it grew on me! It's more creamy, not as sweet and slightly peppery with hints of the cheesy sort of flavour, with its consistency like a thick stew. The chicken katsu wasn't the most juicy (gimme some fats please) but still fried relatively well and tender. I really liked that they serve clam soup (I would have had more bowls if I wasn't so full) instead of the usual miso, and thumbs up to the prompt service!
I don’t usually opt for chili in my ramen as I always like to first try the original. But going for the ‘half-portion’ red sauce was the right decision to help cut through that rich, creamy and milky Tonkotsu broth! Thought the egg (¥130, S$1.60) was just decent and although the noodles were thinner than the kind I prefer, they were done well springy and smooth! To be very honest, I wouldn’t say I’m that huge of a fan (still worth the moolah) but I can definitely see why it has accumulated such a huge fan base!

Checking out Ah Lock Tofu from the new Yishun Park Hawker Centre that is managed by Timbre+; the stall specializes in Hakka Tofu that was a recipe passed down to the stall owner by his grandparents — the stall is run by a pair of brothers and they stall was also featured on the Chinese newspapers pretty recently prior to the opening of the Hawker Centre.
Despite my love for meats, I actually enjoyed the entire bowl even considering that there isn't much of a meaty element in here save for the Tofu stuffed with meat. I loved how silken and smooth the Tofu were; those that were stuffed with meat were exceptionally juicy yet with meat so tender — a clear star amidst what was going on in the whole bowl. The entire bowl was also pretty flavourful from the seaweed providing a umami finish amidst the zing (yet not spicy) chili and the light savouriness provided by the tofu, what stood out most to me was the chili sauce — a little sweet if tasted by its own, yet punchy and compliments the entire bowl so well when had together with the other components. There was also quite a bit of texture in here, with a bit of crunch provided by certain elements in the dish. While the entire idea of the Hakka Tofu Bowl might sound a little too plain for some due to the lack of meat, this was really hits well for me, not to mention it's filling at the right point — would go for this again.

Just found this place that serves good steaks at great prices, and it's certified halal.
🔸
According to Joy the owner, this steak was only lightly dabbed with salt before grilling, and I think it was the skills of the chef that made this steak good - the exterior was nicely charred while retaining a juicy red centre. Even though they don't use fanciful aged meats, I actually enjoyed the steaks here more than some of the other fine dining steakhouses in Singapore, and at only one-third the price.
