Review: Shoyu always make for a nice salty base with a hint of zingy sweetness. Soup base here was decent and you can top up for set meals with their fantastic gyozas. They use the thin yellow noodles which isn't my preferred choice but it still made for a hearty meal. Do check them out when you're in town for an affordable and definitely filling meal.

Paid: $5.50. Tastes like: $5.50. Review: This bowl of noodles is cleverly hidden amongst the piggy stuff (bak kut teh). But don't be fooled! The noodles here are springy and smooth, and that generous portion of minced meat and pig organs pack a formidable punch to any seasoned noodlers. Not exactly the cheapest but I'd say it's definitely one of the better alternatives in Hougang central. Give them a try if you drop by (maybe at the next WP rally when we get visitors ;D)

Review: They call it 太空包! I don't quite see where's the semblance except for the fact it's really airy and fluffeh! Careful with these extra 'taste'-restrial babies cause you literally can't stop with just one Kaya butter bun. Drinks were above sea level but nothing stratospheric (lol). For the regular citizen of Hougang, I must say these buns definitely help to make your morning sun shine a little brighter. Go try them out!

叉烧烧肉饭 was its name. Just like the picture, it was a dark and delicious mess of roasted meat laid on a bed of rice and a careless splash of sauce. I would call this a simple plate of goodness. Unpretentious, tasty, simple. The soups here are pretty good too, I had salted veg duck soup and the flavours contrasted against each other very well. Highly recommended if you're around the area looking for a meaty fix.

It looks just like your regular sushi platter but don't be mistaken by its less than average looks. I really liked the salmon aburi and salmon belly slices. It had a nice sweet freshness and that fatty fragrance. Yum. Just imagine what this will taste like with some quality wasabi and soy sauce.
