i grew up enjoying the idea of sushi conveyor belts - so this was a reminder of my childhood :) if only it could be a little less pricey.

FRIED YONG TAU FOO has got to be one of the most sinful yet delicious things ever 😍😍😍 used to eat this at i12 katong all the time before the stall there closed down. going to eat it again, it was a little pricier than i remember… but the quality definitely didn’t dip. love the noodles in the minced meat & mushroom sauce… idk how it can be so simple yet so so flavourful 🥲 9/10!!

got the mala beef bone soup (tip for those who have low spice tolerance: ask for ‘yuan wei’ for the original soup without any added spice - still a little spicy but a lot more tolerable!) i love mala tang so this is also a very safe and comforting option.

i was introduced to this place as the ‘more affordable din tai fung’ hahaha so had to give it a try. tomato egg noodles were pretty decent but because i got it to go, the soup wasn’t piping hot when i put the noodles in so they were a little clumpy :( but the tomato broth was still rich and had that distinct sweet-sour flavour which i liked.

most people go to zhang liang for the mala soup (which i enjoy too) but the dry mala also deserves some recognition… 🤍🤍 not overly oily or dry, but very flavourful and you can experience a shiok (yet not overly so) numbing sensation & spicy punch with every bite. special shoutout to the thick sweet potato noodles that go so well with the seasoning! 9/10

i didn’t intend to come here for dinner but saw they had a promotion so i dropped by… and it ended up BLOWING MY MIND. noodles were very springy, and i enjoyed every single thing in that bowl - the egg, the soft chashu that is so soft it practically dissolves in your mouth, the ngoh hiang, fried wanton… and the wanton soup was great to cleanse my palate at the end. they had an outlet at guoco tower but it has closed unfortunately :( but so delicious 8/10!

garlic chicken maze udon + deep fried tempura enoki. love udon and love this place, never goes wrong! 9/10

was about to order the beef pho but on the last minute i decided to order this beef stew with banh mi instead. was a very homely dish, and was perfect to dip the crispy banh mi into the thick beef stew broth.

so for some reason, 3 of us wound up ordering the same thing (rabokki). looks great but it turned out to be slightly jelak when we started eating it as the sauce was more sweet than it was spicy… which did not really fit my savoury palate. 6/10 but i don’t mind coming back to try the other dishes

so we stumbled upon this unassuming-looking cafe… and ended up realising that it made the BEST PISTACHIO GELATO. i don’t even remember what the other flavour we got was because the pistachio gelato was just life-changing 😭 it was so light, sweet, milky, and the pistachio flavour & fragrance hits you shortly after you put it in your mouth… i felt like i could eat this forever. the pistachio gelato itself is a solid 10/10 for me

salted caramel souffle pancake - was so FLUFFY and the cream just vanished the moment it entered our mouths… was so airy and light. love the salted caramel flavour too
