Eleven Fingers (Eu Kee) Scissors Curry Rice @ Bugis - Gluey Messy Delightful Ka Li Png


Venturing to Eleven Fingers (Eu Kee) Scissors Curry Rice over the weekend around 2 pm, I was greeted by a bustling queue, a testament to the popularity of this establishment. With little choice but to join the line, I found myself pleasantly surprised by the swift movement, taking only about 5 minutes despite four patrons ahead of me.


Opting for the standard fare featuring pork chop, Lor Bak, Chap Cai, and egg generously adorned with an array of gravies, I embarked on my culinary adventure.


Now, onto the review:

While the appearance of this dish may not win any beauty contests, it's a prime example of not judging a book by its cover. The medley of spice, savory, and sweet flavors harmoniously dancing on the palate is an absolute delight.


Pork Chop: Delicately seasoned, delivering a satisfying savory kick and a pleasant chewiness to the texture.


Lor Bak: Offers a hearty chewiness, lacking the melt-in-your-mouth sensation but still holding its own in terms of taste.


Chap Cai: Boasting a near-melting tenderness, it practically dissolves in the mouth with each bite.

Eggs: Deep-fried to perfection, imparting a delightful softness upon every bite.

Now, the million-dollar question: How does one tackle such a messy dish? Simply spoon a mouthful of rice and ingredients, and revel in the explosion of flavors. The subtle sweetness from one of the gravies beautifully complements the savory components.

In essence, despite its unassuming appearance, this dish is a true gem, offering a symphony of flavors that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy.

$6 version On a rainy afternoon, my mother and I found ourselves yearning for a comforting bowl of Bak Chor Mee Teng, the ultimate soul-soothing minced pork noodle soup. We made our way to Jiak, a humble kopitiam stall that beckoned with promises of warmth and flavor. Fortune smiled upon us as we joined a short queue of only two patrons, swiftly placing an order for two bowls of this delightful noodle soup. The affordability of the offering, ranging from $4 to $6 in 2024, caught our attention. We opted for a $4 portion for my mother and a heartier $6 serving for myself.

Chin Mee Chin Confectionery @ Katong - The Old-School Confectionary

After a hiatus of 5-6 years, I returned to this classic confectionary, introducing my girlfriend to the long-lost cravings of my past. Luckily, we found parking around 10 am, a potential challenge during peak hours. True to tradition, we queued for 15-20 minutes before the friendly staff ushered us to a table. The nostalgic ambiance, marked by old-school flooring tiles and furniture, still lingered. Serendipitously seated in a cozy corner, it was an Instagram-friendly spot. (Not sure GF going to kill me for putting her in the post) Approaching the cashier counter, I ordered my go-to Kaya Toast set with "Added Butter" and sought recommendations for two other buns—Laksa and Otah—suggested by the cashier. Now, onto the review: Coffee: Recalling my visit 5-6 years ago, I found their coffee average, but post-revamp, there's a noticeable improvement. The aroma is inviting, and the flavor is much more satisfying. Kaya Kuyu Bun: The recipe for the bun seems to have evolved. M

Koung's Wanton Mee @ Geylang East - The Famous WTM Shifted Location

  I've been a loyal customer of Koung's Wanton Mee for years, ever since they were situated along Geylang Road. Today marks my first visit to their new location in Geylang East. Upon arrival at the bustling coffeeshop around 12:15 PM, it was evident that many diners were eager to savor their wanton mee. After a brief wait, I managed to secure a seat and promptly ordered a bowl of the $6 version, opting for extra noodles. However, the waiting process proved to be quite challenging, as I ended up waiting a total of 45 minutes. Regrettably, this delay made me nearly 40 minutes late for my lunch break at work. Now, onto the review: Noodles: Unfortunately, the noodles fell short of my expectations. They were slightly clumped together, indicating that the water used for boiling them may not have been changed. While the texture was acceptable, the distinctive lard flavor that I remembered from previous visits seemed lacking. Char Siew: The char siew, which was previously marinat
