Welcome to Bartley.

From Pura Vida Cocina. Uncommon Mexican food stall in a hawker centre. Their servings have always looked strange because the rice quite little. But it's good food. The slab of meat was tender and fleshy, and the taste was unique.

Encik Tan's hawker branch. I was previously turned off by the stallholder, but stupidly returned. Every component of this meal was mediocre. It's not a responsible replica of Encik Tan. And I didn't want the fully cooked sunny side up but she didn't allow changing to sambal hard-boiled egg zzz.

The youtiao stall redeemed themselves with these. They previously caught my eye but they're not available every day. I loved the orh nee version. The crispy and creamy contrast was the magic, while the yam wasn't diluted. The other version is more like the savoury version. It was good too.

From M+ Fried Rice Paradise. I found out they're known for their prawn paste chicken so I revisited. It's good, but small, and so was the overall meal. Hangry.

Nett price. Prefer the honey lemon aiyu as there’s ice below so making the dessert cold. Love the black pearl & white pearls as toppings. The dessert is v refreshing. Wanted to try the milk shake but oos

I was expecting capellini but it tasted more like spaghetti. The pasta tasted sour, probably due to vinegar. It was abit dry too. The truffle was generous. The ebiko roe gave it a good texture. I would recommend to try the duck confit rather than this.

The skin was crispy. The meat was tender and comes off the bone easily. The mashed potato is smooth as well. Although the price is affordable, the portion is slightly small.

They ran out of fried chicken. A big plate, although not cheap for hawker centre. Almost $10 with egg. The chicken was passable, while runny yolk and sambal always make rice shiok. The rice is gimmicky since blue pea has no taste. So are the shredded coconut and raw greens.

From M+ Fried Rice Paradise. Initially I thought they're ordinary halal fried rice. Then I noticed some interesting flavours. Then fried chicken as specialty. Then a Malay-Chinese couple. See how they served a hae bee hiam sauce with the rice. The latter tasted okay, but seemed unusually dry. The chicken was top, just that a bit little.

From the youtiao stall. I expected them to be hard, but not so hard lah. Some pieces were like rock. Good idea but bad execution.

I haven't returned in years! Meals that come with sides are always enjoyable, because I get more food and more variety. Take their Brussels sprouts as they're the most worthwhile. And in there was broccoli too. Roasting these veggies is heavenly. The rice was relatively ordinary but hey it's substantial.

I haven't returned in years! I'm so glad I ordered this. Shiok af. Filled with chopped mushroom puree and duck bits.
