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.

Shi Nian Pig Trotter Rice @ Chai Chee - Meat That's Tender and Fats Melt in Mouth!

Formerly known as Ling Ji and now rebranded as Shi Nian, this stall is a go-to spot for delicious pig trotter rice. Located in a food court presumably owned by the "Bai Nian" brand, I always find myself torn between two favorite dishes here, Bai Nian Yong Tau Foo and Shi Niang Pig Trotter Rice. Arriving around 7:40 PM, I was pleased to find no queue and promptly ordered two bowls, one with more fatty meat for my girlfriend's preference and one with lean meat for myself. **Fatty Meat Bowl** The lady serving us was friendly and generously accommodated our request for extra chili. Our order arrived in less than 2 minutes, allowing us to dig in swiftly after snapping a quick photo. **Lean Meat Bowl** Now, onto the review: Pork Trotter: Cooked to perfection, the meat was tender, and the fats melted in the mouth. The dish strikes a balance, avoiding an overly salty taste. It's truly some of the best-braised pork available at such an affordable price in a hawker setting. P...

Dian Xiao Er @ Downtown East - Herbalicious Roasted Duck

Encountered some chefs from Dian Xiao Er at a pub who passionately recommended their dishes, prompting a visit to their Whitesand outlet. Full transparency: I paid for the meal, and here's an honest review. Arriving on a Thursday evening, we were promptly seated with no queue. The waiter directed us to order by ticking the set menu manually or opting for ala carte through a QR scan. Caught off guard by the lack of a set price indication, both my girlfriend and I resorted to googling their website for details. Images download from Dian Xiao Er Website. We settled on the "Healthier Set," and the dishes arrived swiftly, served with a smile. Now, onto the review: Angelica Herb Roasted Duck: A highlight among all the dishes. Tender meat (Drum & Thigh area) with a mild herbal aroma. The sauce, when drizzled over the rice, is heavenly. Personally felt the skin lacked crispiness but the herbal and tender meat make up for it. Soup of the Day: Fish maw soup that stood out for...

L32 Handmade Noodles @ Tampines 1 - QQ Noodles with Super Spicy Chilli Ban Mian

In the midst of a rainy January day in Singapore, my girlfriend and I found ourselves yearning for a warm, comforting meal. Since we were in Tampines Central, she suggested the renowned Ban Mian at Tampines 1, a subsidiary of the legendary L32 Ban Mian in Geylang. Upon arrival, we were met with the familiar sight of a lengthy queue. Patiently, we waited for about 20 minutes before finally collecting our dishes. We ordered the pork balls noodles and Ban Mian dried version with an added chicken cutlet. For the soup version, we were treated to a delectably savory and slightly sweet broth, complemented by a touch of raw fresh egg. In the dried version, my girlfriend noted that the sauce leaned towards the sweet side for her taste. The Ban Mian noodles, thicker than those at regular stalls, maintained a satisfying texture. The unique feature of almost raw egg drew mixed opinions, as I found it acceptable with its 20% cooked consistency, while my girlfriend wasn't a fan. The chicken cu...
