We tried a deep fried custard bun with salted egg yolk filling at Yàn and it was AWESOME! Read our full review on www.foodievstheworld.com now.

A very satisfying meal. I left feeling soo full, my stomach was going to explode.

Hamburg was juicy and delicious 😋 I liked the marinated beansprouts, pasta and mashed in the free flow salad bar. Scrambled egg was also surprisingly good. Wish I am a big eater at times like this.

Definitely a great choice for comfort food!

Finally! Tried ryo sushi which was on my wish list for the longest time. The fish was fresh and good, I savoured every piece of nigiri and the crabmeat handroll was really delectable (not in the pic).

My only complaint is the reservation process.
1) It’s hard to get someone to pick up the phone
2) The guy was unhappy when I told them i had to change from 3 ppl to 2 ppl for my reservation as sth else cropped up. Only managed to resolved it after I mentioned that i’m getting the $98 omakase set.

Great experience if you are 100% sure nothing happens and u will be able to make it for your reservation.

There are 3 choices for lunch set and I went straight for the $23.80++ to try the sashimi. Slices of mekajiki and hamachi were thick and fresh. The negitoro in the sushi was also generous. Rice was a bit too mushy in the california roll but overall a decent lunch.

Finally tried this hae mee tng at naked finn! The broth was really thick and packed with grilled prawn flavour. The somen is like a thicker version of mee sua and the two thin slices of pork left me wanting more. The prawns were fresh and sweet, but the last one I got was a tad mushy. Definitely tastes different as the hawker versions.

Most seemed to think $30 after GST for a bowl of prawn noodle is too expensive but the price is actually close to some expensive ramen places. So why the reluctance to pay more for prawn broth that’s simmered for hours? So #worthtotry for me.

Dry Ramen Style~ Kajiken’s noodle is the yellow ramen style whereas menya’s is closer to udon style (?). Kajiken is a tad spicier and comes with miso soup. But I miss menya’s extra last touch with the scope of rice.

Both are pretty good. i think i prefer menya kokoro 🤭

Skip the karaage chicken.

Ordered the Old Fashioned burger but it was not as good as expected. The patty was alright but not great as what the other reviewers raved about. My biggest complain was that the mushroom were so thinly sliced, it didn’t give the burger the extra flavour I was looking for (quite evident in this unfiltered/unedited photo). Horseradish sauce was the only redeeming factor as it goes well with the burger and fries.

Portion was really big and all of us didn’t finish the food. We didn’t order the milkshake as it’s probably going to give us diabetes.

Service was pretty good but my friend found a hair in the onion rings. 😱Perhaps not a good day in the kitchen. Luckily we went early and didn’t have to queue.

Had the grilled fish with beancurd! As all the other fish were sold out, we had the qing jiang fish which was pretty good! the texture was great and complimented the spiciness well. We ordered too much additional sides like the golden combo, luncheon meat, seaweed, rice cake, noodles, rice. and we were tooooo fullll~ so refrain from adding so much sides (though it’s tempting) if u r not big eaters.

queue was long~~ be prepared to wait. OR get a queue number, go shop around and scan the QR code to see if it’s ur turn yet :)

The dumpling fillings were great hence the 红油抄手 and 锅贴 were definitely worth ordering! I didn’t enjoy the 担担面 much probably cause it was kinda soggy by the time i reached home.

The queue was quite long when i reached at 12noon but it moved relatively quickly. I was impressed by the guy taking the order as he didn’t even bother to write down anything! but could remember all our orders fairly accurately!

Had the original mazesoba with gyoza, pork and chicken wings side!

The more accurate description should be dry thin udon in zha jiang mian style~ it’s not as jelat as I thought. Halfway through, I added the vinegar for a different flavour and I could finish the whole bowl comfortably. I prefer the original version as the spiciness from the spicy version seems to cover the taste of all the other ingredients.

The queue starts after 7pm so arrive early to beat the queue! Bonus! The staff were also really nice and friendly.

Octopus Galician Style - Grilled octopus with crushed potatoes were pretty good. Croquettes were decent but seafood paella was kinda underwhelming. Quite pricey but i guess you pay for the service.
