Seng Heng Hainanese Boneless Chicken Rice @ Bukit Timah

 

In order to get a taste of this tasty plate of $3 chicken rice, you will need at least 30 to 40mins of spare time to join in the weekday lunch crowd. We were there at 11am on a weekday, and we only managed to place our order at 11.40am. Along the way, you tend to have thoughts of why are you wasting your time in a queue, and for just chicken rice. You WILL have your doubts.

You will start wondering why are there people who are willing to stand in queue for so long, just for a normal chicken rice.

As we got nearer to the stall, we noticed that the two guys who were taking orders for dine in or take away, packing the food, were SO diligent, they even brought the packed food to customers seated on the other side of the hawker centre. The uncle who was chopping the chicken, serving up soup, was moving so fast, we were sure he can't be caught on a speed cam. Jk ^^.

So, the reason wasn't them being slow. It was because most of the customers were ordering 8 packs of chicken rice, 7 packs, 10 packs! The minimum we heard, was 4 plates. So what exactly is their secret?? Nostalgia? Rice? Chicken? Chili sauce? Service?

We believe it is all of the above. Let's break it down.

Most of the customers were greeted and probably not their first time there, suggesting they were recurring customers. Their rice was not soggy, nicely cooked, fragrant and grainy. Their boneless chicken was SO DAMN tender even for breast meat, sligth crisp of roasted chicken skin, and the awesome gravy.

Lastly, their chili sauce was SO AWESOME! You could have at least 3 packs of rice only, just with their intense, thick, spicy savoury chili sauce. You will be blown away with these combined.

And it is really worth mentioning that even with their crazy bee line of business, they were still so polite and efficient. Truly worth the wait!

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...

Seoul Noodle Shop Bishan: Bibim Noodles and More at Junction 8

  If you’re wandering through Bishan’s Junction 8 mall wondering what to eat, Seoul Noodle Shop might just catch your eye. A cozy little restaurant stall tucked in the basement, it promises authentic Korean noodles and hearty comfort food that feels straight out of a Seoul street market. We visited over the weekend for dinner and decided to go big. Two combo sets—Combo A and Combo B—meant we could try six different dishes, including their famous bibim noodles , which definitely deserved the spotlight. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Bibim Noodles at Seoul Noodle Shop: A Textural Delight The bibim noodles came dressed in a vibrant red sauce that hinted at fire, but turned out to be pleasantly balanced. At $16.50 ala carte (but included in Combo B), it’s a hearty bowl topped with sliced beef, kimchi, and egg garnish , all nestled over freshly made noodles. What stood out immediately was the chewy, spr...
