Le Smoked Salmon ($23)
Umami Pasta ($21)
Crispy Fish Fillet Tacos ($23)
Pork Belly Salad ($15)

Came during one of the weekdays so the place is not too crowded. Nice ambience to chill and to catch up with friends. Food wise, fish fillet tacos and umami pasta r very good. Burpple 1for1 deal is available at this cafe too so it’s really worth it🙌🏼

Xiao Long Bao ($4.5)
Fried Dumpling ($6)
Avocado Juice from Mr. Avocado ($4) - not in the picture

One of my favourite hawker centres in Singapore!!! The dumplings and xiao long bao do not need any more introduction as you will see a long queue forming in front of the stall. I also love the food from the Thai stall located at the most corner. Ordered their pad thai and they are yummy. Carrot cake and Oyster Omelette r kinda disappointing; ordered the biggest portion but their portion were quite small and tasted quite salty. Luckily, good old avocado juice from Mr. Avocado never disappoints👍🏼

Mentaiko Salmon Don (Regular) $23.90

Using my burpple beyond and got this 1for1 so it’s only around $12 per bowl. Very worth it and salmon mentaiko is yum! You would expect that the salmon is slightly torched when paired with mentaiko but instead they are sashimi cubes covered with mentaiko sauce so it is something different. The sashimi is very fresh and they give u the fatty pieces so they r even more juicy. Portion is also quite generous and they have 2 sizes: small around $16 and regular size. We didn’t bother to order the small size as we love our salmon a bit too much.

Char Siew and Roasted Pork Rice Bowl ($9.8)

I never thought char siew could be this good until I tried it at Fook Kin.

Ordered a combo of char siew and roasted pork but I prefer the char siew so much more. There is a crisp to the char siew and there is a layer of fat inside the meat, making it the perfect piece of char siew. It comes with hainan rice and lava egg making it the ‘atas’ version of roasted meat rice bowl. My friends who ordered 3 combo: char siew, roasted pork and duck also agreed that char siew is the most special and the duck is worth to try.

While the roasted pork is good, it is nothing special and you can find it at a normal hawker stall.

Must order the char siew if u do come by this restaurant.

Crispy Wings ($10)
Crab Cake Benedict ($18)
Pork & Avocado Eggs Benedict ($15)
Basil Pesto Mushroom Toast + Pork Sausage ($17)

Baileys Affogato ($6)
Iced Latte ($5.2)

We came here on Saturday afternoon and this place is packed with people. We reached around 12:30pm and queued about 30 mins before we could get in. So, make sure to come early if you decide to go to this cafe.

Generally, all their food is good but our favourites are their crispy wings, pork avocado & eggs ben and baileys affogato (coffee with bits of chocolate topped with ice cream, yumz).

After lunch, we also ordered some tarts (not shown on the photo): Lemon Meringue ($5.6) and Chocolate Seasalt Tart ($5.6). Their lemon tart is just what I like, not the sweet kind and more towards the sour type and the crust has just the right amount of thickness. Chocolate tart has the perfect balance of sweet, bitter and a hint of saltiness. Recommended to try 👍🏼

The Populus Scramble ($17)
Big Breakfast ($21)

Went to this small cafe for a brunch on weekend and it was quite packed. Highlight is The Populus Scramble: creamy, fluffy egg combined with savoury bacon👌🏼. Big brekkie was pretty normal. Would definitely recommend The Populus Scramble if you come here!

Mentaiko Mac & Cheese ($21)
Crab Linguine ($19)
Pork Burger ($19)

The cafe has a very nice ambience and suitable for group of friends. We came on weekdays’ night so it wasn’t too crowded. My fav food is the Mentaiko Mac and Cheese: not too surfeiting and it has just the right amount of mentaiko.

Crab Linguine has so much crab to it and the sauce is not too sweet. Personally, i do not like sauce that is too sweet. Pork burger is normal but the meat is very soft and tender.

All their portions are relatively huge and prices are reasonable considering their location (no service charges🙌🏼) Worth to try if u pass by the area👌🏼
