An unassuming place that sells prawn noodles with a light yet flavourful broth. Nothing too “jerlat”. They have both soup and dry options, as well as 3 levels of 大虾，thus the name of this place. Perfect for a relaxed dinner without a queue and the heat.

Their lattes are made with their in-house cashew MYLK. The creamy texture and light taste of earl grey complimented each other. Those who like their teas strong might find this a tad too light for their palette.

Being lactose intolerant myself, latte choices are very limiting. Adding on the fact that consuming too much soy milk can cause hormonal imbalances, I’d rather not. This cafe came as a form of life saver. Love the chill vibes this place brings too.

One of the latest dessert creations at Old Hen Kitchen — featuring elements such as Koicha, Vanilla Bean Ice-Cream and Speculoos Crumb, the Koicha (which itself is a thick matcha) is served on the side to be poured in before eating.

As Koicha is also known as thick tea, the matcha flavours are likely to appeal to those who love matcha at its purest — it's bitter aroma shines through here, occasionally turning a little bit umami with a hint of lingering saltiness around. The vanilla ice-cream carries the neutral flavours and a creaminess to help counter against the Koicha, with the speculoos cookie crumbs adding a sweet crunch to the dessert. Thought the dessert was a little off balance, being slightly heavy on the Koicha — probably could be better with a slightly larger scoop of ice-cream and more speculoos cookie crumbles provided.

I liked the pumpkin and spinach filling, though I wish they stuffed more. There were also a few ravioli stuck to each other, but it was still an enjoyable dish.

If you prefer something heartier, go for the super meaty beef ragu fettuccine instead. I would have preferred a dash or two more of salt to fully bring out the savoury flavours, but the pasta was well made and overall, this was a comforting plate.

Hard to go wrong with salami pizza – their freshly rolled and baked crust (not too thin) topped with tomato sauce, spicy salami and mozzarella. Some found this a little too salty, but I thought it was just nice.

In comparison with the Salami Pizza, the Truffle fared better and was something I found enjoyable. The Truffle Pizza is twice-baked; once before the egg is added in and baked again after — this resulted in a more crisp crust as compared to the Salami Pizza. This pizza sees a white sauce base with black truffle (there's traces of the real stuff in there!), mozzarella and egg (ours came flowy and nothing short of all your #eggporn fantasies) — a cheesy, savory delight a hint of truffle and eggy goodness.

They pretty much nailed it on every aspect. The tenderness of the chicken breast could be improved tho. Mushrooms are well seasoned and I can taste some cumin in that quinoa. A wholesome and flavourful bowl. Good to note that the portion's a tad small. Will be going back to try the rest of the menu!

Soft tender lamb chunks topped with crispy bacon bits and melted cheese. This warm skillet of comfort is legit. High in protein from 3 sous vide eggs and complex carbs from sweet potato cubes for the bodybuilder. Speaking of gains.

Ramen was mediocre tbh...
Go for the beef. Pink in tenderness. Salmon doesn't suit the hebi chilli, better off in a poke bowl :)
Went for the 4$ upgrade.

Good but not great.
Could've done better with the chocolate by using chocolate sauce instead of cream as part of the s'mores element.
I'd say, you're better off with their regular buttermilk waffles with 2 scoops of ice cream you'd really love, than this :^)

Had the 2 recommended items and while they are all pretty good, the grain bowl had me wanting more. A taste reminiscent of Mediterranean food and makes me miss exchange days in Europe ^^

This place will convince you to ditch that no-carb diet with its amazing grain bowls! Take your pick from soba noodles, to wild rice and a 3-grain mix, and top it with a meat from the selection. The toppings made me spoilt for choice, though I don't quite understand why they have to split the selection into 4 categories (just makes things more difficult!). But everything we chose was delicious, from the carrot & herb salad, sautéed cherry tomatoes, spiced cashews (the best!!!), zucchini & herb salad, onsen egg and the list goes on. I'll be back, definitely!

Located just below the Golden Shoe hawker centre lies a diner that sells an excellent Spanish rice bowl. For $16.50, you get to create your own bowl which I got the vegetable paella, beef striploin, roasted sweet carrots, bell peppers, asparagus, almond toppings and a truffle hummus dip. A fast food that gets you to eat healthily.
