Came here with some of my Singaporean and Malaysian friends, the place has been decked out with flair by the friendly owner and the nice-looking chef, who also hails from SG.My SG friend took charge of the ordering, she was quite impressed with the variety of things on offer. The owner said that their laksa was very good and they had laksa leaves in stock for the weekend, so we quickly ordered a couple of bowls to be shared between us. I was very excited to see Cereal Prawn on the menu, it's my
My SG friend took charge of the ordering, she was quite impressed with the variety of things on offer. The owner said that their laksa was very good and they had laksa leaves in stock for the weekend, so we quickly ordered a couple of bowls to be shared between us. I was very excited to see Cereal Prawn on the menu, it's my favourite SG dish, and I asked the chef to give me more oats, more oats please lol as I can just eat heaps of the stuff. The food we had, in order of yummiliciousness, was as follows:
Ngoh Hiang pork roll - this was five spices pork wrapped in a crispy tofu sheet. It was not salty enough for my taste, I guess you were supposed to dunk it in the thick soy sauce. But it was tasty and the five spices were just right.
Otak otak - this was fried and not wrapped in banana leaves, which would have kept the moisture and is my preferred version, but the taste was very good with the right amount of spices.
Chai tow kway (we ordered both the black and white versions) - I actually preferred the white one, I think purely because the small dish of chilli was next to it lol. The black one was quite nice too, but I think the actual turnip cake was a tad too mushy for my tastes.
Laksa - it was great that they had dried laksa leaves, which added a lot of fragrance to the soup. But the soup itself was not coconutty enough, and did not have cockles in it - what a scandal
Kaya toast:- the kaya was supposed to be homemade - it had the pandan taste but was too eggy and lumpy. The toast was cold as well. Hm.
Cereal prawn - this was really disappointing, with just a teeny weeny bit of oats in it - even my morning scoop of muesli has more of the stuff rofl. I think they should have just told us that they didn't have the dish that night. There was a lot of fried egg white in it too, which was a bit strange to me.
Fried morning glory and fried eggplant - I only had a bit of these and they were very forgettable dishes.
Overall, there were some hits and there were some misses. I think the place is a passable option if you have a craving for SG food - just make sure that you first check that they have oats for the Cereal Prawn!
