This was the kovan outlet near my house but I can't seem to find it here. Food at Hansik restaurant is always consistently good and I esp love the lunch sets which come w free flow banchan!! at really affordable prices too!! I've been going w my family since young n seen how theyve really grown from a much smaller and less crowded space and I think they rlly deserve the love!!

Loved the congee, Japanese style 红油抄手 and XO carrot cake. Wasn't a fan of the bolo bun-ish liushabao bcos it was really SO jelak given sweet exterior + interior but I know I'm the exception!! All in all almost everything we ordered was of exceptional quality so I'd say go here and skip the other v well known place down the road (why do people go there again? Sorry to my mind it just reminds me of NSFs exhausted after a night out at zouk's old JIAK KIM Street premises).

So good. Nearly comparable to the one I had in hua ting!!

Haven't come across a stall like this in a mainstream-ish food court like Koufu! Pretty interesting, they have skewers like those for satay lok lok and you can mix and match as many as you'd like (3 meat and 3 veg for $5.50) if I remember correctly. I went for another fixed item 招牌捞渔粉, which sounded dodgy but tasted really good! Came with super fresh fish, veg, tofu and buckwheat noodles in a rather milky sesame broth - kinda like pork collagen broth from BIAP but less salty and way healthier. Reminded me of a cold winter day in Beijing some months back :-)

Got the tofu bibim salad which had a rather heavy sweet chilli sauce (so maybe not health in a bowl after all?) and really fresh ingredients. Tofu was so firm and meaty that I didn't regret choosing this over the options w meat. Yummy!!!

Fishballs were exceptionally good! The noodles were not bad either esp with the generous serving of red chilli, which went really well with the dish.

This was your usual kopitiam dessert bowl size, and for $8.90. I was highly confused, as it was nowhere stated in the menu that there were kids' meals available.

$4 (cheapest option)
Errrrr I don't get the hype over this. It was super average, queue was ridiculously long, noodles were mediocre at best and had 0 wok hei???

This was really good! Came with lots of fresh fruits and granola.

The udon was okay but the service was a real turn off. Basically, the staff were super unclear (might even say deliberately so) as to the T&Cs of the burpple beyond deal here. First, we were told that we could get the dinner set though it was only 2.30pm, and that it applied to all udon dishes on the menu. on that basis I proceeded to order a kitsune oden udon. The guy who put together my bowl of udon didn't serve the oden, but I thought it would be served later. Alas this was not to be. After taking the tempura and proceeding to the cashier, I was told that firstly, we could not get the dinner set (ie that there was no 1 for 1 tempura); second, the 1 for 1 was only for kitsune udon and not kitsune oden udon. This in itself was super suspect because kitsune udon as an ala carte dish is not even on the menu?? Anyway we then put our tempura back and requested to have the kitsune udon changed to egg udon instead (the whole point of me ordering it was for the oden) but were declined on the basis that the egg udon would take 18 min to prepare??? I'm not sure even an ostrich egg takes the same amount of time to cook, so the lack of effort in coming up with a believable excuse and cold service really spoils this place for me. Will not be back.

Black pepper beef and rice $5
Even if you are desperate, you can do better.

Tell your stomach to chill a little so your mouth doesn't suffer on its behalf. Maybe it was bc I had this at 5am while frustrated and running on severe sleep deprivation, but no one should ever have to eat this. Give me an onigiri from 7-11 any other day.

Wow this surprised me. Thought it was gna be just another boring old avocado toast but the NORI JAM, cleverly hidden beneath the blanket of crispy kale, made this a clear winner in my books. Its that kind of brunch food you order when you want to feel relatively guiltless yet not have a salad..... all in all, I really enjoyed a good catch up with a friend over brunch here. Staff are obv new and might require a little patience though - - sometimes they appeared hurried and flustered, but I foresee myself coming back often if have the $$$ to spare :-)
