Good dim sum stall to check out! Discovered a new dim sum stall to frequent - Tiong Bahru Pau & Snack ! Have walked past this stall many times, but finally deciding to try it today! The queue for this stall is always long! What I like about this dim sum stall is that the items are sold per piece, and not in a fixed set of 3 or 4 quantity. So if you are dining alone or in small groups, this is the best dim sum stall as you can order just one or two pieces instead of the standard pieces! Here is what we ordered: -Char Siew Pau ($1.30): Very soft and fluffy! Seems like the char siew pau is the popular item here -Lo Mai Gai ($2.20): This is so good!! Is not the usual frozen steamed white minced chicken lomaikai kind, but the real chicken chunks kind. Good that the lomaikai was not the dry dry kind. This is my top favourite item here! -Egg Tart ($1.40): Flaky buttery crust with smooth egg custard! -Carrot Cake ($1.40): This carrot cake has lapcheong bits in it too! -Fried Prawn Roll ($1.20) -Yam Ball ($1.40) -Char Siew Sou ($1.40): Though I will love this but it ended up being my least favourite item as it was kinda dry Location: Blk 252 Jurong East St 24, 01-107 600252. They are just beside the Yuhua Village Market and Food Centre!

Assorted Dim Sum Forgot the price but most of the dishes are reasonably priced. Too lazy to give detailed review of all Fried carrot cake: 3.8/5 Char Siew Bao: 3/5 Sesame ball (red bean paste): 2.5/5 Yam Puff: 4/5 Egg tart: 3.8/5

Honestly most of their meats are slightly dry and tough I really don't see why they're so popular, I guess dimsum is just very popular with people in this area. The dimsum stall beside joo siah bkt is also always packed for no good reason Chee Cheong fun and egg tarts were decent, I didn't eat the fried stuff.

Nan Ru Pork Belly Burger ($8.90) This was the first item on the menu that caught my attention because nan ru is a pretty rare find and I am quite a big fan of it! Just the sight of the thick nanru pork belly sandwiched between nicely done buns and coleslaw on a bed of thick chunky fries could almost whet the appetite of anyone. True enough, the buns were well buttered and the fries were seasoned just right for me. However, the porky star was a little too chewy and its nan ru flavor was almost non-existent for my liking:( Also, the dressing of the coleslaw was so watery that it kept dripping onto my fries, making them too soggy for optimal enjoyment:( Nevertheless I thought there are really efforts in finding new flavours, just that there is some room for improvement:)

Nan Ru Grilled Pork Burger From Kampung Corner at Shaw Towers — formerly Kampung Bowl and Corner Burger at East Coast Road in Brunners Coffeeshop. Still serving their signature rice bowls and burgers, Corner Kampung is now situated in a small coffeeshop beside Wild Market together that also has a Qiu Lian Ban Mian. Having tried their Fu Ru Tonkatsu Burger before, the burger seemed to have been tweaked slightly with use of Nan Ru instead and featuring a grilled party instead of a fried one. While I did enjoy the grilled pork which was tender and juicy, the Nan Ru marination wasn't as prominent as it was with the Fu Ru along with the fried version. Otherwise, the burger was still pretty value-for-money; $9.90 and coming with fries beneath were crisp and lightly seasoned for flavour, while the burger buns were light, fluffy and crisp, being lightly-toasted.

Interesting stall in a kopitiam! One half sells Peranakan food, while the other half sells burgers! Kampung Bowl has an option of 3 dishes which is either $7/8. I had the Babi Ponteng 豆酱慢炖猪五花, slow cooked fermented soy bean pork collar with potato. There's also a Ayam Merah, spicy tomato sauce with chicken confit which was very tempting, and Beef Agogo. It does have a home cooked flavour 😊

24 hour Giant pau This 24-hour opened handmade pau shop is located inside a coffee shop along Jalan Besar. It is popular for serving a variety of pau and dim sum. Decided to have a Giant Ye Zhi Mei pau, it is named as such, as the size of the pau is almost a handful. Just Google search Yi zhi mei/ Amy Yip and u will know what these pau are being compared with. The white steam bread was firm enough to contain all the "juices" within, yet it was soft enough to eat with a subtle sweetness along with it. The meat within was just a burst of Umami, it had lup cheong, mushrooms, pork belly, half a steam egg and of course, the minced pork. I would dare say, this is a better pau compared to Nam Kee. Dim sum I had was nothing special to me. But it wasn't bad. Just tasted normal.

Big Pao Among all dim sum places along Jalan Besar, this is the only one that open 24 hours daily. Famous for their bao especially the huge one. I was afraid I couldn’t finish it so just gotten my the big pao for only $1.90. Generous fillings inside that worth having in the morning.

Ye Zhi Mei Da Bao $3.50 If you know who’s Amy Yip, you will know why this bun is called Ye Zhi Mei Da Bao. The bun is as big as my whole hand. It’s packed full of well marinated meat and a hard boiled egg. Definitely worth the calories!

Went to Marine Parade Central Market & Food Centre to try Neptune Dim sum since I’m at neighbourhood. The dim sum is good and affordable. The Chee Cheong fun skin a bit thick, but the soy-based sauce is good. The porridge quite tasty, the siew mai is meaty, the chicken claw is tender and quite flavourful. If I’m around this area, will back to try others dim sum dishes. 💰$17.7 for all. 📍 Neptune Hong Kong Dim Sum. Marine Parade Central #01-26

Steamed Custard Bun From Neptune HK Snacks 流沙包 Simple pleasure in these lovelies steam salted egg yolk custard buns. Definitely will return for it.

Steamed Carrot Cake From Neptune HK Snacks 萝卜糕 Hand made steamed carrot cake flavourful each bite. Highly recommended.

Signature Baan Won-ton Mee (S$6.90nett) Nestled in the Alibabar Hawker Bar along east coast road, this stall serves up some classic Thai grub like Basil Minced Pork and Tom Yum Goong. However, what seems to be the popular dish here is their Thai Wanton Noodles (S$6.90 Nett). Each serving comes with thick slices of grilled pork collar, two plump, pork-filled fried 'wantons', a soft-boiled egg and a generous amount of veggies atop the thin, eggy noodles. The bits of fried pork lard sprinkled on top were super sinful yet delicious. Noodles were packed with flavour and the wantons were wonderfully crispy and juicy. Their pork, however, was the star of the show. Each slice was tender, juicy, fatty and had a great char. (The grilled pork collar is also available for ala-carte order, starting at S$4.90 per 100grams.) Some level of spice would have been nice to cut through all the porky goodness though. Overall, definitely would make a return visit to get my noodle fix and for that sexy pork collar. 🚫No Air-Conditioning 👋Self-Service (Order at respective stall counter) 👣Free Seating 💸Prices stated are NETT

Too Much Fats While the taste was alright and serving of noodles was big, I was disappointed with the meat. They were 95% fats. 😂 nothing much left for protein...

Thai version of wanton noodles I love the Thai twist of wanton noodles with the springy noodles and the crispy wanton skin. I enjoyed the fish cake too with the spices they use for it, reminding me of Thailand at the same time.

Little Neighborhood Gem Little Thai food gem, for S$46 two of us enjoyed belly-fulls of food. Especially loved their signature yellow seafood curry, made from scratch, and the mango sticky rice with liberal amounts of sweet and savory coconut milk on top. The Thai milk tea is perfect too, not too sweet. Worth coming to if you’re in the area, or a short trek from neighboring areas.

Awesome Thai Dinner We dine in for the first time at Soi thai (jurong west).It was a relief that we were there early, as the formation of a long queue could be seen at around 7pm. Ordered the thai style kangkong, red seafood tom yum soup, pandan chicken and pineapple rice. Our favourites got to be the kangkong and tom yum soup. The smokiness from the wok hei in the stir fried kang kong was impeccable. The tom yum soup was thick due to the addition of the coconut milk and rich in taste which comprises of the lemongrass and spiciness from the chilli.

Pineapple Fried Rice ($6) A pineapple fried rice that leaves deep impression not because of how delicious it is, but how much it doesn't even taste like one. It felt like I was eating curry fried rice instead, with the overpowering curry and turmeric powders, not even a slight taste of pineapple even though tiny pieces were spotted. There were also a handful of cashew nuts and a scoop of bland chicken floss. Pretty presentation, but looks can be deceiving.

Seafood Main Course Fulfilling seafood main course @ $16.50. Perfect combination of Char-grilled Salmon, butterfly prawns and calamari with tomato salsa and mustard cream sauce. Must try for all seafood lovers 🤩

Affordable Steak! First time to dine in here. The $15.2rib steak meal (200g) was quite nice and affordable. It reminds me of a Japanese “family restaurant “.

Chocolate Lava Cake $5.50 Hot tomato serve decent desserts as well! Love that the chocolate filling does really ooz out!

Monkey Business Monkey Business ($12.9)-toasted banana loaf was a bit dry, peanut butter poppiah was incredible paired with the sweet loaf and ice cream 4/5

Assam Fish Bowl Serving some health concious food although not lacking on the naughty stuff as well. Assam Fish Bowl ($17.9)-sour and spicy, not really a fan of the aroma, but taste wise was good 4/5

For wholesome fusion food with vegan-friendly options Believe it or not, this hole in the wall serves up pretty good and healthy dishes with vegan options! The cafe presents a quiet and comfortable ambience complemented with warm lighting and an open kitchen - perfect for a 1-to-1 meet up with your closest friends. The Assam Fish Rice Bowl ($17.90, back) gave a good first impression with its rainbow colours and an assortment of ingredients. That blob of fish pieces coated in a thick red gravy may not seem appealing, but it sure packs a punch as the nonya spice slowly infuses your palate and kicks you with the chilli. A really impressive dish! The Norway-inspired Open Sandwich ($12.90, front) comprised of a vegan patty made out of lentils, mushrooms and almonds, sitting atop one whole portebello mushroom and wholegrain toast. Once again, a good impression was given as the earthy fragrance of the mushrooms assailed my nostrils. The vegan patty and cashew mayonnaise were indeed flavourful, but I wasn't too pleased with the patty being crumbly - it kept breaking apart whenever I stick my fork and knife in. Perhaps a little binding agent to hold the patty together will be good! Also, the bread tasted a little stale and I found it hard for all the components to harmonise well together. Nonetheless, I love this cafe for its extensive menu of wholesome dishes and chill vibes. Would definitely return to try other dishes, especially their desserts!

Comfort food at it's best. Not all Han's serve the same menu. The fried rice at NTF Hospital serves turkey bacon while the one at JEM serves pork bacon. These one has beef fried rice and crispy noodles so of course we haveto try them. As per my earlier post on good wok hei fried rice, this one fares just as good with tender beef strips. #beeffriedrice #shengmian #crispynoodles #hanscafe #hanscafesg #burpple #burpplesg

A weird Western-Asian fusion meal at Hans at only SGD$13.00 for mushroom soup with garlic toast, iced lemon tea, Nanyang pork curry and plate of rice doused with a tasty sambal chilli on the side. Pork was a little tough but there was a crunch to it, the curry was sweet + sour without a hint of spiciness, it was like having pork tomato stew IMO. Thankfully there was the poolview to make up for it...

Grilled Pork Chop All Day Set Meal Served with soup of the day + main course + coffee | tea | orange | iced lemon tea. Price: $12.80

Cajun Chicken Aglio Olio ($14.90) If you're looking for a Muslim-establishment that serves up decent pasta, I am... cafe has got your back! One of the OG cafes in the area, I am... serves up simple, yet hearty dishes, ranging from pastas, to burgers and many more! With #BurppleBeyond, we were only able to select from the pasta section & went for the Cajun Chicken Aglio Olio. This dish packed a punch with their Cajun seasoning but did not overpower the entire dish. The spaghetti was lightly tossed in olive oil, and topped with a grilled Cajun chicken-a simple yet tough dish to master.

Penne Pesto Pasta ($15.90) Located at the entrance (from North Bridge Road) of Haji Lane, I am... cafe can be easily spotted from afar with it's large signage and Alfresco-like dining space. As a Muslim-owned establishment, their dishes are made accessible to more cafe-goers who enjoys visiting this area! An early lunch meant that we could grab a seat at this popular cafe and we ordered the Penne Pesto Pasta ($15.90). It comes with perfectly booked penne served with a large portion of grilled chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and pesto herbs. The chicken was pre-shredded, but still retained some moisture to ensure that it's tender. The pesto was well-balanced without being too salty and the sun-dried tomatoes added a nice sour tang to the dish. Overall, a satisfying dish to re-order when I visit! Thankfully with #BurppleBeyond, we got this at 1 for 1, so my pasta was half the price, definitely worth it!

Good For Groups! Pastas and Burgers all taste super good! I recommend Cajun Chicken and Chicken pesto if you're getting the 1-for-1deal. They have several seating for groups of 4-6.
