  As what the restaurant name states, they must be specializing in udon and tempura items. We tried the first item listed on their menu, Sanuki Beef Egg Udon, and here is what we have reviewed. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) The open kitchen layout allowed us to see how they prepare their food, and the process looks really simple; blacnh noodles, add soup, add prepared beef slices, add prepared poached egg, add seaweed and other garnishes, serve. Way faster than fast food joints. So, what is Sanuki udon? Well, what we found out is that "Sanuki udon (讃岐うどん) has been the type of udon noodle most popular in the Kagawa prefecture in Japan, but is now easily found throughout the neighboring Kansai region and much of Japan. It is characterized by its square shape and flat edges with rather chewy texture, and in authentic sense, ingredients should be from among those local specialties as wheat flour." Good to know ^^. The...

  Nestled in the heart of Ang Mo Kio, Xi Xiang Feng is the go-to spot for a bowl of Laksa Yong Tau Foo. In this review, we'll explore their creamy laksa yong tau foo with a crispy twist. It stands out with unique flavors and textures, making it a must-try. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) The Unconventional Choice: Laksa as the Base At Xi Xiang Feng, you can choose laksa as your yong tau foo base instead of the typical soup or dry version. We went for this healthier twist, adding six delectable yong tau foo items, including the signature crispy meatball and a sprinkle of cockles. The total cost was $7.50, slightly pricier for hawker fare but worth every penny. Crafting the Perfect Bowl The laksa gravy at Xi Xiang Feng is where the magic happens. It's thick, creamy, and packed with intense flavors, featuring bits of dried shrimp for added umami. The combination of yong tau foo items, beehoon noodles, bean sprouts, and t...

  We tried out the LA Galbi at Hoodadak, Fusionopolis, and here is the review of how we find it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) First of all, what is LA Galbi? It is actually a flanken cut, features cut bones peeking out along the long edge. It was developed by Korean immigrants in Los Angeles to accommodate the thinner rib-eye cut preferred by American butchers ( We Googled this ^^ ). At $25 and with GST and service charge it was $29.42, we got a bowl of rice, seaweed soup, and a plate of beef. On the menu, it was shown as Rice with soup with Lettuce, 180g beef. We wondered where the lettuce went.... Nevertheless, the rice came mushy and not really nice, and the seaweed soup was what it was suppose to taste. The beef tasted really good. Sweet and savoury, well caramelized and lots of fats around tender flesh. The kimchi, seaweed sides that came with were decent and what you would expect in any Korean eateries. There wer...

  After doing a search, seems like Gimme Face Noodle House has a stall at Hougang, and now Ang Mo Kio. This was a visit to the Ang Mo Kio outlet and we got to try their Pork Noodles. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Looks good on their presentation, and the whiff of their concoction smells great. The noodles were cooked just right, not too soft nor undercooked. The sauce base is more to the watery version and was really flavourful yet not overtly oily. At $3.80, we got about three slices of tender fatty pork slices, some minced pork, some braised mushrooms, and ONE meatball. The meatball was obviously handmade and it was a joy to have. Tasty, nice bite to it, but sadly there was only one ( ya, why not two, why not three, why not ten :p ) ..... Well, we won't mind if there was one more at least. Nevertheless, it was yummy. The soup was not salty, but subtly tasty with hints of pork and some other pleasant herby taste. For ...

  Judging from the patrons who were eating at the tables, majority were having Shi Xian's mee siam. So it seems that mee siam is the popular choice over mee rebus? Well that seems alittle overstatement. Let's give the mee siam a taste. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) The beehoon was well blanched, not overly broken up. Sliced eggs, bean sprouts and puffy tau pok were added to give it an extra crunch to every bite. Most importantly, the main star would be the gravy and it was really unique in its own ways. Strongly flavoured with dried shrimps, it has a aroma that is hard to nail down. It was tangy with lime probably, and delicately spicy. And to add to the mix, their homemade belachan chili was a great addition to an explosion of flavour in the mouth. At $2.50 a plate and with such uniqueness, it is no wonder why their stall is always filled with long queue. Yummy! Shi Xian Open Hours and Location Monday Closed Tuesda...

  We were introduced to this stall and got the Signature Noodle from Lai Lai Heng Wanton Noodles at Ang Mo Kio, and we weren't disappointed at all. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) The noodles were chewy and tasty from their concoction of sauces. Taste was decent and nothing special, but they do get their basic noodles right. That was the first assuring point we got as we started around the busy plate. Char siew slices were slightly tough and sparsely given. The star of this signature dish comes in the form of their braised pork ribs. The size of a roughly a quarter of the plate, the flesh LITERALLY fell from the soft bones. In fact, it was braised so damn long, the bones have disintegrated and soaked up all the sauce that was used to braise. The flesh was without saying, tender, so yummy, and gives you a taste of heaven. So shiok! Not a big fan of chicken feets, but we did enjoy this particular item with the fatty/fleshy...

  At $3 a plate of wanton noodles, you get nice chewy noodles with well mixed sauce base. The char siew we got were razor thinly sliced and lots of rubbery fats. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) There were lots of fried shallots and smell of garlic oil was pleasing. However, as it is a plate of wanton noodles, their wanton doesn't seem like anywhere near worthy of representing wantons in the world of wanton noodles. There were like 3 pieces, and all were stick together, and the fillings were probably enough to feed a small family of ants. So was this wanton noodles worth it? Well, it depends on whether you are looking for nice noodles or nice wanton noodles. Because this sure ain't wanton noodles without a proper wanton to go along with the nice noodles.

  If char kuay teow taste dry, feels healthy, it certainly can't be considered good char kuay teow. If you want good tasting fried kuay teow with good wok-hey, you definitely must give Lai Heng Fried Kuay Teow a go. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) How were the cockles? The cockles were small in size and with an order of $3, there were probably about 10 pieces. Still a decent amount for a yummilicious plate of gooey goodness. How was the kway teow noodles? Not a single spot of dryness on the whole plate as every bit was covered in sauce/lard/awesomeness. There was still a slight crunch to the bean sprout, and the umami of the eggs. You cant get any better than their version of char kuay teow. $1 Meaty Otah To add on to the char kway teow, we got their otahs which were meaty and full of intense flavour. A must add-on for any char kuay teow orders. Lai Heng Fried Kuay Teow & Cooked Food Opening Hours and Location Monday ...

  There is always a snakey queue at this coffee shop within Ang Mo Kio heartlands, where everyone waits patiently for their Lor Mee or Prawn Noodles. We tried their prawn noodles and here is our review. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) The prawns were fresh and medium sized, and you get 3 of these for the standard $4 bowl. The meaty fatty chunks of pork were a delight. And together with the crunchy pork lards, every bite was an explosion of flavour in the mouth. The prawn broth was deep and intense, as if prawns were jumping around in our mouth. Adding a small slice of chili padi adds so much depth to it, you will be begging for another bowl. However, do not expect anything out of the norm for it is really traditional, or some might say "old school". But they do make a supposingly traditional prawn noodles kickass awesome. To top it off, the auntie at the front seems to know every recurring customer, speaks to them a...
