Fresh, tender and best savoured while still steaming hot.

i liked that the chicken was moist but it was tasteless...and rice wasn't fragrant either. char siew, roast duck and achar not nice also. all charged at restaurant price really not worth😢

I decided to give this disappointing PRC stall another chance. Uncommon dish. Seasoning was slightly too rich, but overall okay.

It’s strange that the various outlets of this small chain don’t serve the same dishes. This one has an excellent peranakan fish head curry not offered elsewhere. Worth making a trip for it! No chicken feet, though.

Chunks of crayfish, deep-fried, then topped with a generous sprinkle of crunchy cereal. The perfect blend of savory and crunch! Yums. 😋

Fried sotong [a.k.a. squid] rings coated in the perfect light, crispy batter and paired with a rich, savoury, salty sauce that’s impossible for me to resist!

7 years later and we are back at this zichar place again. Oh, how I missed the delicious food here! First up, we zoomed straight to these succulent lala clams swimming in that irresistible thick eggy, savoury-spicy chilli crab sauce. What a treat it is to dive into the signature chilli crab gravy without messy hands and cracking shells tonight! 🫶🏻

I’ve always been a regular at Xin Yuan Ji’s Bugis branch—it’s been my favorite fish soup spot in Singapore for years. Today, I decided to try their Bukit Batok outlet.

The soup used to have a strong, distinctive charcoal aroma, which added a unique depth to its flavor. While that smokiness is barely noticeable now, the soup still holds up well.

The freshness of the fish slices remains consistently high, and even without the charcoal undertones, the broth is flavorful and satisfying. It’s still a reliable choice for a comforting bowl of fish soup.

One of better chicken rice joints in Singapore- tasty yellow chicken, even if the rice is not the most fragrant. Other dishes are also yummy. Great value.
