Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

The fact that this joint has been in the Michelin guide for 4 years in a row is yet another confirmation that the Mich inspectors are clueless when it comes to judging non-western cuisine. The sambal is pretty unique, but otherwise the rice is not fragrant and the chicken very meh.
At the Lucky Plaza outlet, they even serve it in a paper box with plastic utensils - useless for the not-so-tender chicken.

We kicked things off with a crisp, refreshing salad — light but still satisfying with fresh greens and a zesty vinaigrette. It was a perfect palate cleanser before diving into the heartier stuff.

Next up, the Hainanese Porkchop was an absolute standout. A juicy, lightly breaded porkchop, seasoned just right, paired with fragrant rice and that signature garlicky-chili dipping sauce. It had all the comfort of the classic Hainanese chicken, but with a delicious porky twist that made every bite feel like a celebration.

Then came the Double Bacon Smash Burger. Wow. This thing is a savory, smoky masterpiece. Two juicy, crispy-edged patties, melted cheese, and crispy bacon stacked high — it was indulgence at its finest. Each bite was rich and perfectly balanced with just enough grease to make you feel like you’re treating yourself (without any regrets).

And to wrap it all up, the Churros were the perfect sweet finish. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and rolled in cinnamon sugar, they hit all the right notes. If there was a dipping sauce involved, it was just the cherry on top, making it a totally addictive experience.

Overall, this meal was a perfect blend of light, savory, and sweet. A true flavor-packed adventure from start to finish. Would happily dive into round two!

The star dish of my meal there were these tiger prawns. The juiciness, umami flavour that came from the prawns really shows the freshness of it. I really enjoyed my experience there and every dish I ordered was just such a hit, had a really good experience dining here and will definitely be back soon!
