My Father's Minced Meat Noodle @ Tampines - Tasty Soupy Bak Chor Mee in Tampines

$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. Impressively, our wait was brief, with the efficient kitchen staff delivering our steaming bowls in less than 8 minutes.

Let's delve into the review:

Soup: A delectably savory pork broth that worked wonders to thaw my cold, rainy afternoon blues.

Noodles: Masterfully cooked, boasting a delightful al dente texture that added to the overall satisfaction of the dish.

Meatballs: Standard fare, typical of factory-supplied meatballs.

Wantons: A delightful surprise considering the $4 price point. The generously sized wantons, filled with a fragrant blend of pork and Pian Yu (Dried Flat Fish), elevated the overall experience. These wantons stand out as some of the most flavorful I've encountered in Singapore.

$4 version

Value: The $4 portion was ample, while the $6 version bordered on the colossal. Undoubtedly, this offering provides excellent value for money.

$6 version with more wantons, meatballs, and noodles served in a bigger bowl

Overall Verdict: Without a shadow of a doubt, I would gladly revisit whenever the Bak Chor Mee Tng cravings strike. The combination of affordability, generous portions, and delightful flavors makes it a top contender in the heartwarming noodle soup arena.

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
