Normally I am a little skeptical in trying places that's been raved about online, but thought I should give this place a go considering it's actually a stone's throw away from my place and my family don't dine at the coffeeshop enough anyway. To my surprise, the Honey Milk Pork Belly was actually really quite good — the chunks of meat were actually pretty crisp without being particularly dry, whilst coated in a Honey Milk sauce which comes creamy yet sweet; the curry leaves were crisp, and the chili padi induces just a slight hint of spiciness when one bites on them. Really liked how the rice beneath was also drenched with a bit of that Honey Milk sauce — found it pretty effortless to finish the rice here. Guess I have finally found a place for decent tzechar in the neighbourhood; would probably make plans to try more of their offerings. Move aside, salted egg yolk — honey milk is gonna be on the top of my list now haha!

PS: interestingly, the coffeeshop now also houses another branch of Hua Zai H.K. Style Roasted Delight that also operates at Tampines — looking forward to trying it out at this Woodlands branch too!
