Beach Road Prawn Noodle House @ East Coast Road - Tasty Broth Packed with Flavours

"Beach Road Prawn Noodle House" boasts a renowned reputation in Singapore, particularly for its delectable prawn broth.

Parking proves to be a challenge, given the limited space available. Arriving on a bustling Saturday afternoon around 11:45 a.m., I was greeted by a daunting queue snaking outside the shophouse. With no alternative but to wait, I was fortunate to secure a table for two within a mere 20 minutes, thanks to the efficient ushering by the staff. However, the journey didn't end there, after settling in, another queue awaited at the cashier's counter for placing orders.

After a brief wait, our orders arrived.

Now, onto the review:

Soup Version: The broth exuded a rich, seafood-infused flavor with a delightful peppery and savory essence. The addition of pork lard and shallot/garlic oil elevated the taste profile to extraordinary heights. The noodles were expertly cooked, complementing the flavors perfectly. While the prawns in the $6.50 soup version were reasonably sized, a minor gripe emerged as a few shells clung to the meat, an issue likely attributed to overcooking rather than freshness.

Dried Version: Accompanied by a small bowl of flavorful soup, the dried version impressed with its briny chili and ample portions of lard and shallot/garlic oil. The noodles maintained their ideal texture. Opting for the $9.50 version treated us to generous servings of large halved prawns, two more pieces compared to the $6.50 variant.

However, similar to the soup version, encountering difficulty in deshelling the prawns proved to be a drawback.

Overall: The star of the show undoubtedly lies in the broth, making the soup version a personal favorite for future visits. A noteworthy tip, I later discovered that soup refills are available, a detail I'll certainly take advantage of in subsequent visits.

And let's not forget the additional perk of having another famous Wu Xiang Stall nearby, a tempting prospect for future culinary adventures! Beach Road Prawn Noodle House

We made our way to Jiak, a humble kopitiam stall that beckoned with promises of warmth and flavor.

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
