- Kway Chap 粿汁🥣
Long queue during dinner time but quite worth the wait
Nicely braised and no gamely smell, at affordable price too!
($4.90) opt out for less ice and sweet. I didn't have chance to try it out when they comeback. Got strong jasmine milk tea flavour as I know why the reason is one of their best selling flavour.
($5.50) But I felt that signature pork bun was not that bad in terms of moistness and also got meat gravy tbh.
($6.50) opt out for la mian; no spicy. The sauce was quite nice to complement well with la mian. I didn't eat finish la mian as quite filling for me.
Was scrolling around the phone on social media and got to learn about the opening of yet another new cafe that is situated within the neighbourhood around the Chung Ling Wet Market area — located at the foot of of Blk 152 Bishan Street 11 would be Wad Coffee. Wad Coffee is pretty much a hole-in-the-wall establishment, though there are some two (2) tables suitable for groups visiting the cafe of four (4) pax each situated along the walkways of the HDB block that allows one to have their offerings on the spot. With its simple operations, the menu at Wad Coffee is kept relatively slim with its only food offerings being the range of Wad Waffles that they have to offer. The main highlight at Wad Coffee would be their beverage offerings however; these are segmented into sections dedicated to Specialty Coffee, Non-Coffee and Local Brews.
Considering how we were also in need of a light bite, we found ourselves going for the Plain Boring Wad Waffles that is listed on the Wad Waffles section of the menu. The Wad Waffles is essentially the same sort of Pandan-infused waffles that one would be able to find at old-school neighbourhood bakeries around the island; the Plain Boring Wad Waffles being the variant that comes as-is without any fillings, though other variants offered by Wad Coffee included the Chocolate Hazelnut, Kaya, Peanut, as well as the OG / Strawberry Cream Cheese. Sinking our teeth into the waffles, we did feel that the Plain Boring Wad Waffles was actually quite light and fluffy, making it a fairly easy eat whilst still carrying a bit of tension to chew apart. It also does come with a bit of crispness in some parts; all that whilst coming with a noticeable hint of Pandan fragrance at the same time.
The churros mochi waffle was everything I remembered. Warm and crisp, with chewy mochi slabs tucked inside. I loved that texture contrast. Cinnamon sugar gave it a churro-like vibe without going overboard on sweetness.
Paired it with soya bean milk with dough fritters gelato which tasted like tau huay. The brownies n cream was rich, chocolatey and packed with cookie bits. Both held up well against the warm waffle.
Tried this back when it was at ORTO and now it’s even better with the second outlet closer to home.

Great value for a quick lunch.
[BISHAN, SINGAPORE] If you are living around the area and you need a good solid Thai food fix, @galangal.sg is an amazing option. Big portions and quality food is what you will get 😍
We had many dishes, but the one that stuck with me most is their Thai Prawn Cakes 🦐($10.90 for 5). These prawn cakes were hefty and meaty and fried really well! It didn't feel too oily and it was so aromatic.
Their Clear Tom Yum Soup Seafood 🦑($17.90) is also a must get, due to its spicy kick and aromatic seafood sweetness. It was packed with loads of seafood which were really fresh! Do get their Honey Garlic Fried Chicken 🐔 ($16.90) too, as it was really well executed, with a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
As for carbs, both their Pineapple Fried Rice 🍍($15.90) and Prawn Pad Thai 🦐 ($15.90) were great choices, as the former had a slight smoky flavour and was flavourful, while the latter was still al dente with a spicy tangy flavour! Definitely executed well too.
You can't miss their desserts here as well, as their Thai Grilled Pineapple with Ice Cream 🍍🍨($12.90) was so unique! The pineapple was sweet, juicy and just slightly savoury. Paired well with the ice cream hehe.
Now this is an option to consider if you stay nearby! All portions ordered were upsized ones, and it was worth it given the price charged. Thank you @galangal.sg for the invite!
New item
This is seriously good. Proper Japanese standard for pudding, woddly and creamy soft. Flavour was excellent, the strong egginess comes through with hardly any stench.
On the sweet side but still balanced
Must try
The re-opening of the revamped Food Junction at Junction 8 had certainly got quite a fair bit of talk around social media — the food court itself having seen quite a bit of a refresh considering how it is now a themed food court that sees not only the use of a design theme that follows closely to that of a retro American-style diner, but also a separate zone that is dedicated to Japanese / Korean fare that attempts to target the more hipster audiences. The food court also had seen a refreshed tenant list, with highlights including that of stalls such as Zhang Ji Yun Jiao 张记云饺 (operating its own individually-run dine-in establishments at Grantral Mall @ Clementi and Holland Village) and Myung Ga Il Minipress; an offshoot of Myung Ga Il in Beauty World / Tanjong Pagar. Another stall that is mentioned quite a fair bit on social media that is making its first appearance in the F&B scene is Cha Han; a concept by the folks behind the Akashi Group that has also brought us other brands like Akashi. Cha Han is a stall that is relatively easy to spot around the food court; numbered Stall 18 in the food court, the stall is situated beside the outlet of Lobster King Pao Fan • La Mian there. For those whom can understand Japanese, the namesake of the stall translates into English as Japanese fried rice; the menu lists out a number of fried rice dishes, egg fried rice dishes and fried rice with scrambled eggs — patrons also get to choose to go with Egg Fried Rice, Garlic Fried Rice, Spicy Miso Fried Rice and Truffle Fried Rice.
The mention of Garlic Fried Rice and the Akashi Group does remind us quite a fair bit of the now-defunct Gyoza-Ya concept that Akashi Group used to run that first originated being an individually-run dining establishment in the basement of the-then Robinsons The Heeren (now Courts Nojima) — that was our first experience of Garlic Fried Rice from an Akashi Group establishment early on in the days of writing. There were a number of dishes already sold out during our visit made to the establishment on a weekday dinner service and we ultimately went with the Wagyu Fried Rice whilst opting for the Garlic Fried Rice as the variant of the fried rice to come with our order. This was quite a decent rendition of the Japanese-style Garlic Fried Rice that sees the use of short-grain rice that comes all pearly with its grains distinguishable from one another — all that whilst being glistening having been lacquered with oil that gives it sufficient texture as a fried rice dish. The garlic fried rice does come with a distinct hint of savouriness coming from the garlic, though does feel lacking of a smoky hint of flavours that some might be expecting out of Japanese-style Garlic Fried Rice. One can observe that there are chunks of egg that are wok-fried with the garlic fried rice which provides a fluffy yet firm bite amidst the grains; meanwhile, the Wagyu takes a form that is similar to the beef found in Gyudon. These do seem to be prepared ahead in advance and definitely had a temperature contrast with the garlic fried rice; something that we were not quite a fan of. That being said, the Wagyu beef was tender and came stir-fried with a sweet sauce that does provide a flavour contrast with the garlic fried rice and elevated the flavours of the dish further.
