What's For Lunch? 🍴☀️

Good portion of pasta & crab meat! Well flavored sauce with super pocket friendly pricing. Add more Tabasco if you want more heat! 🔥🦀

Add on $3 to make your meal a set that comes w a choice of side & drink. The cold tofu & century egg side was really refreshing, savory & yummy! The noodles however, was a big disappointment. At first glance, the broth looked really light & blend. Not their usual rich & reddish broth. Although it was the authentic 红烧 flavor, it tasted really blend & one dimensional — more like soy sauce diluted in water. Noodles texture & ingredients were great but as everyone knows, the broth is the true star of every bowl of noodle & this fell really flat. A far cry from their younger days where the broth was rich & packed w flavor. Not sure if the recipe was tweaked after being under the Paradise Group wing, but I think they should tweak it back.

Shout-out to fans of Spicy/Mala food! 🌶 This new spot in town, basement of Far East Plaza serves up amazing, value for money, china dishes! This plate of perfectly crunchy fried nuggets of chicken, rolled in numbingly fragrant peppercorns & dried chili w flavor so addictive, you can't stop till it's all gone! ❤️ So hawt yet so guud! Pro tip: Bring more friends along so u can order more dishes! 3 mains: 4 friends is the golden ratio. The perfect food coma inducing lunch 😌

A pocket-friendly lunch option in the heart of orchard! If you love vinegar/sour stuff, this is a great choice! I love how the springy noodles goes so well w the vinegar & they are definitely not shy w the vinegar which gives you a great kick! Paired w the soft, chewy, mochi-like beef tendons ❤️❤️ the soup served on the side also packs full of flavor! Just look at that rich brown color, unlike the usual faint chicken wanton soup, you know there's extra love in there!

Juicy, crunchy ebi fry that was plump & not oily! 🍤 A very satisfying add-on to my alrdy ingredient-packed udon... but I couldn't resist! #noregrets 😎

A common street dish in Korea but uncommon in Singapore. Steamed blood sausage stuffed w glass noodles & slices of liver. I'm a big fan of sundae & this was pretty yummy! Would have loved it more if the sausages & liver was freshly steamed & piping hot. Felt like they were left sitting for awhile as they weren't steaming & had cooled that resulted in the liver being dry & hard. Have the sundae w the pink salt! 💖

A big hearty bowl that's perfect for lunch! ❤️ This is like an open-face burrito sans the burrito. Absolutely love the cauliflower rice, grilled eggplant slices, sautéed mushrooms, roasted cherry tomatoes, peppery baked beans, mashed avo & of cuz the star of this dish, the steak! Portion was generous including with the meat. Steak was done perfectly, seasoned well & still a lil pink on the inside. A very satisfying meal that's packed full of flavors & textures 👅💦✨

Ginger & Miso braised Chicken guts & vegetables served w rice & pickles. A savory dish that went well with warm rice. The menu said chicken guts, but it was more of just chicken skin & liver. Was expecting more variety of innards like giblets that would have provided a different texture. There were cubes of konnyaku jelly which was really bouncy & yummy! Makes a simple, home-cooked meal 🍲

Newly opened Motsu-ya, sister counterpart of Nobu-ya, serves lunch! This chirashi don is pretty big & worth the price tag with it's generous serving of raw sashimi. Sadly tho, the rice was not seasoned like sushi rice & served warm which led to all the raw fish being warm as well & some even par-cooked. What a pity. Would've made a pretty smashing meal 🙁

Fresh, succulent & sweet oysters! I'd choose the tangy ponzu sauce over the mentaiko any day, just because I love the sour flavors of the ponzu. Yums! 👅💦❤️

Stewed beef so tender, it almost melts in your mouth 😍❤️ This is definitely a must-order on their menu. Very flavorful & umami. Would recommend ordering a bowl of rice to go w it & soak up all that amazing sauce. Yummeh!

A really generous serving of tako! 🐙🐙 Has a good kick of wasabi w crunchy, fresh tako. The mixture is abit on the watery side but doesn't affect flavor at all. Makes a great appetizer before your meal.
