Beauty in a pot@Jewel($101.91 for 2 ppl):
#JonApproves
8.5/10 Highlights of the experience are Fish paste, Fried Beancurd Skin & Free Flow Yuzu.
We had Twin pot of Beauty Collagen(rich) & Tomato Corn Broth(sour & refreshing), US sliced beef, Nagano Belly, Spanish Pork Collar, all the meat are nothing fantastic. The condiments and broth together with the meat is what makes the experience so much better. Assorted Balls Platter had meatballs and fishballs that were meaty. Fish paste is chewy and flavorful despite it being ringarde. Fried Beancurd Skin was so crunchy and crispy, they absorbed the broth very well, definitely cooked to perfection. Kelp was thicc and abit like rubber. Rice was meh. Watermelon could be sweeter and juicier, longan was sweet, honeydew was ok and cherry tomato was meh. Free Flow Yuzu was outstanding, it would be the one dish that I would keep asking for more as it is cold,refreshing yet sour, the ice blend was smooth, it had the ice blend texture was it tasted so seamless. There were some misses, but just whack as much fried Beancurd Skin and free Flow Yuzu,worth it.
Simon Road Hokkien Mee($5)@Kovan -
#JonNoApprove
6.5/10 Clean tasting. Lime is very light. Nothing fantastic. Maybe tabao-ing might taste much better.
Rahim Muslim Food@Chong Boon Market
It looks plentiful and appetising.

Mee soto($4.50) - 9.5/10 Bergedil is soft and crumbly, flavorful too. Taste of potato is sooooooo good. Soup flavor of chicken is stronk, can tell that they boiled for a long time to achieve this perfection. Chickenis tender. Noodles also absorbed the chicken broth flavor too. Even beansprouts give additional crunch to the dish.

Mee Reebus($3.50) - 9.5/10 Gravy is hot and can't taste the alkaline for the noodles. Egg is solid, skin is crumbly and insides are soft. Solid dish of Mee reebus, thicc. With sourness of lime, the dish is further elevated in taste. Fried shallots add umami to it.

#JonApproves 8.25/10 When u are craving for Muslim neighbour cooking,can come here to Makan.

3)Chicken - Saucy and tender.
4) Boiled Eggs - Bouncy, saucy,enjoyable to consume.
5) Tauhu - Oiliness, vegetable and toufu hits the right notes on the tongue,cooked rite. Got some element will shoot up to the nose, not the swab test kind.

#JonApproves
Rosti with egg & cheese($15.30) - 8/10 Charred flavor is good. Rosti is crispy and the sour cream sauce has the distinct sour taste,maciam like Pringles sour cream flavor. It is light tasting,not thick. Creaminess of sauce,egginess of egg and crisp of Rosti goes well together.
High Tea Buffet($34.80)@ Swatow Restaurant:
Restaurant is Chinese atas type. Really maciam rich ppl can afford oni. Pace of food arriving at tables can be quicker. 15mins for 2 types of dishes to arrive within eating time of 1h30mins is quite long. Got a large variety but lots of misses. Best would be century egg porridge, Fried Salted Egg Fish Skin, Chicken Feet,Pork ribs and Fried Banana Red Bean. #JonApproves 7.25/10

Chee Cheong Fun with Char siew is ok.

Pork Jelly is unique, meat is like bah kwa but less oily and have the jelly like texture.
Prawn is ok.
Laksa is not bad,got the curry leaf essence.
Fried Salted Egg Fish Skin is crispy and salted egg is legit. Saltiness is just rite,not too much.

Chicken Schnitzel($16.90) - 7.25/10 Smells good. Potato is good. Fried chicken with their cramberry sauce can be better,if it was a tad sweeter.
Burmese Brand($32):
#JonApproves It's a takeaway and order via number only.
1)Shan Noodle - 7.5/10 Spicy,chili pepper kind. Meat is ok. Can taste handmadeness from the noodles. Spice and the everything goes well together.
2)Coconut Curry Chicken - 7/10 Curry is flavorful. However chicken is meh,the chicken is cooked too long, some meat is hard to come off the bone. Onions are fragrant and doesn't taste like the cheap kind.
3)Fried Tofu - 8/10 Fish Tofu is Abit mushy and has spongy texture, maciam fish otah. There are those that are crunchy, refreshing to the tastebuds. Better if u airfry them I suppose.
