Welcome to East, Singapore.

This eclectic Hong Kong dessert and dim sum bar was founded in June 2024, family-run by Henry Mok and his son Maverick Mok.
.
Their boiled white glutinous rice flour dough balls have a soft chewy sticky texture, with mild grainy sweet flavour. Filled with either a thick chunky peanut paste with bright nutty sweet flavour, or a creamy grainy black sesame seed paste with deep earthy nutty sweet flavour.
.
Served in a thin ginger and rock sugar broth with sweet spice flavour. Warm and calming.

Made a trip to Bedok for my Thai fix. Went with the chicken tom yum noodle this time and it’s way better than the seafood version since the prawns aren’t always fresh. Broth still packs that sour-spicy punch though.

Also got the deep-fried pork with garlic — crispy, garlicky and perfect with the sweet chili dip. The Thai vermicelli salad was fresh and punchy with a good mix of seafood and heat. Still one of my go-to spots for no-frills, flavour-packed Thai food.

Wah very indulgent.

Other than their yummy Lontong and budget-friendly hearty Mee Soto, the Nasi Lemak Set is quite decent too. I had Set B, which comes with fragrant light-green coconut rice carrying a hint of pandan flavour, topped with a greasy fried egg, flavourful chicken wing, fried fish fillet, ikan bilis, peanuts, cucumber, and sambal.

The rice was semi-moist and slightly sticky, yet still soft and fluffy with a distinct lemak taste. Best enjoyed together with the spicy sambal mixed with onion and ikan bilis for maximum shiokness. The chicken wing had a slight crisp outer, probably left on the counter for a while, but the meat inside remained succulent. Ikan bilis and peanuts were really crunchy, while the fish fillet leaned chewy.

From New Mahamoodiya Restaurant
Masala Dosa with the usual sides.
Could be a regular to this.

[BEDOK, SINGAPORE] I honestly can't remember how many times I've eaten their lava cookie & gelato combo already 😂 but it's so good each time!!

Their Chocolate Lava Cookie is still the best, with a lovely molten centre that had a satisfying viscosity when the server placed the scoop of gelato on top. The chocolate itself is rich & decadent, while the cookie has a biscuit-like crumbly texture.

For the gelato we got the Brown Sugar Tau Huay, which I believe is new. Smooth and fragrant without being too heavy, this wasn't too sweet and was a perfect match to the rich lava cookie.

I remember their waffles being subpar, so I would definitely recommend this over their waffles. 10/10 will order this again. Like right now 😂

Established in May 2019, this casual restaurant is best known for serving hearty authentic North Indian dishes.
.
Their rendition has boneless lamb marinated with freshly ground spices, including Kashmiri red chili, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and cumin. It's then immersed and finished in a rich stew of plain yoghurt and red onions.
.
Has tender chewy creamy thick textures, with robust meaty savoury sweet earthy spice flavour. Generously portioned, this is best paired with flatbreads or rice.

From Xie Bi An Vegetarian
Bitter gourd soup, Ma Po tofu, sambal kangkong & dliced bitter gourd vegan fish.
Not bad indeed.

The lychee raspberry scoop is sweet, floral and refreshing, with delicate rose notes from lychee and bright pops of raspberry all wrapped in a crisp thyme cone 》$6.80

The noodles comes with a mild spicy kick, chewy al dente noodles and savoury minced meat. Portion’s on the smaller side but it’s tasty enough to leave you wanting more.

Bonus points for the free-flow water chestnut and soya bean drinks. A refreshing touch that rounds out the meal nicely 》$5.90

Weekday lunch at LeMa came with limited choices as all prawn dumplings were unavailable. You’ll need to order at least 2 portions (5pcs each) and can’t mix pan-fried with boiled.

Went with pan fried pork & corn and pork & cabbage. The latter was the standout with natural sweetness from the cabbage. Not the widest selection but still a comforting dumpling fix and pretty affordable too, which makes it an easy go-to 》$8.90 / 2 Portions

Crunchy fruits, youtiao, tau pok and that thick shrimp paste sauce. Generous peanuts on top for extra bite. Still punchy and addictive, though the shrimp paste felt a little heavy this round 》$4
