Spicy Mee from The Refinery – pulled pork, homemade sambal, pork balls, sesame seeds, pork lard, signature 72 degree onsen tamago. Essentially hipster Myojo Ramen Char Mee 100, with bak chor mee pork balls and sweet but viciously mauled Narcissus spiced pork cubes. The relatively vacuous noodles required vigorous mixing – otherwise…
Lala Bee Hoon from Spicy Thai-Thai Cafe. The very wet bee hoon strides in with an unabashedly fiesty and peppery sass, taking absolutely no prisoners and instantly triggering ooohs of ardourous appreciation and approval from my dining companions. But for the fact that prawns beat clams any day, this would…
King Prawns on Vermicelli Claypot with bacon and white pepper from The Prawn Star. Essentially an indulgent, regal morning economic beehoon but with king prawns instead of the usual oily and unhealthy suspects, and my favourite item from my meal at The Prawn Star. While the bacon played hide and…
Soup Teochew kway teow mee from Ah Hor Teochew Kway Teow Mee, situated in a coffeeshop on Verdun Road near City Square Mall. The main dish itself is comforting and good on its own but damn, that chilli is so unbelievably magical it was likely to have been concocted by…
Fish soup noodles from Ka Soh (Swee Kee Fishhead Noodle House). The fish stock boasts to have high levels of protein, calcium and collagen. It supposedly includes no milk, its whiteness stemming from all the boiled fish bone goodness. All I know is that the stock tastes wondrously comforting and rich,…
Chicken karaage ramen burger. Essentially the love child of a female Singaporean-Japanese ramen and a male American hairy-legged burger who goes for spin classes at the gym. The ramen patties tasted like an interesting crossover between mee goreng and eggy carrot cake, while the chicken karaage was tender and juicy,…
Wanton Mee ($5.50). The famous wanton mee from Kok Kee hasn’t changed one bit since it shifted a short distance to its new home at 27 Foch Road. The char siew and wantons are still mere concubines to the Majesty that is the killer combination of Kok Kee’s secret sauce,…
Spicy prawn guksu set, with deep fried spicy drumstick. So it was a cold windy day and I stepped into this Korean joint, expecting the noodles to be all annyeonghaseyo and I got bloody prawn mee with chilli paste. Warmed me up good, though. 3.6/5 Guksu Noodle House 3 Temasek…
My Aromatic Prawn Noodle, dry with Tom Yum base and added mushrooms. Essentially springy instant noodle meets prawn cracker fries, annoyingly-shelled prawns and shrimpy chilli paste in a dimly lit Thai massage parlour. I piled on the green and red sliced chilli, mixed the chilli paste real nice with the…
