To go place for tonkatsu sets! The batter is light and not so oily. The pork does not stick to your teeth. The set meal is really value for money with free flow of crunchy and freshhhhh cabbage!
Deck's laksa Yung Tau Foo's hype just won't go away! π¬ it's cheap and good. Love it!
Green Curry is a must order. It was flavourful, with just the right amount of basil and spices. Just eating it with plain rice is already quite tasty. Mmm yummy, already making me want to go back for more. Nakhon Thai is probably one of the few reasons why the Thai food niche is booming in Singapore. Three thumbs up! Did I mention that it is pretty value for money too?
Golden egg fried rice with sweet crunchy prawns with a side of Shanghai Style Drunkard Chicken. Served with a side of Juicy Xiao Long Bao. What more could you ask for! Presenting to you my best choice to go to for Chinese food!
Pictured foreground is the big prawn hor fun cooked in sambal-ish sauce. It's spiciness is exciting and somewhat challenging for me in the hot and humid weather (read: sweating buckets). Is it too spicy? Not really. Think of it like your sambal fried rice. The Hor Fun was extremely delectable, with a good amount of fragrance and 'wok hey'. The gravy itself is kinda on the saltier side though (quite generous on the MSG, I think). Ingredients are also quite substantial, the fresh prawns are so satisfying. A great dish! Perfect for a cool weather day.
Pictured at the background is the ιιθδΈηθ θ (Various eggs in broth and spinach). Safe choice, generous serving, but somewhat on the salty side too (I don't have a high tolerance for saltiness).
Just want to insert a comment on the waiting time. The Hor Fun came almost 20 minutes after the veggie came. The service staff seemed to have a tendency to also mix up orders, as the trio seated opposite us kept receiving dishes not meant for them. Oh well, just an observation. Anyhow, good crowd, good atmosphere, friendly staff.
Value: 2.8/5 (Two dishes, $27)
Pardon the image quality (it was a screenshot of a snapchat video π ). Oh well, good food no need no high quality photo taking to prove itself~ Anyhow, this Claypot rice stall is really worth a try. It's really value for money (
Wasn't really going for a full meal then so my friend recommended that we go for their sides. We had the wings, as well as mashed potatoes with sausage. Surprisingly, the portions were substantial, and the taste was superb.
It's a nice place for students like me to chill at with a youthful vibe, and just hanging around here discussing on our projects can be quite an experience too.
The staff were friendly and accommodating. I think they also expanded, which means more seats (yay)!
Give this food outlet a try the next time you're in Hougang/Kovan.
Ambience: 4/5
Student-wallet friendliness: 3.5/5
The duck rice stall is definitely a treat at Zion Road Food Centre. Don't miss this one out when you're there!
Had the Kani Tama Ramen, which essentially comes with a "Japanese" style omelette laid atop savoury crab broth ramen. Broth is on the salty side so 'strong' broth is definitely not recommended (give your kidneys a break please). The servings are substantial and price wise, still quite reasonable. Give it a try if you'd like some really savoury (and salty) ramen.
Had the Unadon (eel rice bowl) and my Friend had the sashimi set. Unagi was done to perfection. Sashimi was really fresh. No complains!
Regular waffles with Sea salt soft serve. Eat it fast before it melts! Super instagrammable place, but not so much a student wallet friendly place.
