Hey, fellow food adventurers! Have you ever braved a two-hour wait for a bowl of mutton soup that's rumored to be the stuff of legends? Well, we did! We embarked on a flavorful escapade to 老吴記 Mutton Soup stall nestled in the heart of Ang Mo Kio, and boy, was it worth every minute of anticipation.

The Call of Mutton

Ang Mo Kio is no stranger to good food, but if you're a mutton enthusiast, 老吴記 is your holy grail. Here's the catch – securing a bowl of their aromatic herbal mutton soup isn't a walk in the park. It's like getting a golden ticket to a carnivore's paradise. The preordering process is no joke, and even when we thought we were being early birds by calling at 10:30 AM, we were still behind 15 other eager foodies. The aroma wafting through the hawker center was already setting our taste buds on a joyride.

The Anticipation Builds

After the two-hour rollercoaster of anticipation and saliva-inducing scents, we finally got our hands on the prized bowls. And guess what? Our taste buds did the happy dance from the first sip.

Flavor Explosion in a Bowl

The herbal mutton soup is the star of the show here. It's the kind of soup that warms your soul, soothes your senses, and instantly makes you forget about the long wait. The herbal notes weren't overpowering; they were more like a gentle embrace of flavor. The addition of chopped Chinese celery and sliced ginger didn't just add a pop of color; it balanced out any gamey essence beautifully.

Meat Nirvana

Now, let's talk about the mutton slices. These weren't just slices; they were pieces of art. The meticulous uncle at the stall took his job seriously – every slice was a lean, tender, melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece. The meat danced between intense and mellow, treating our taste buds to a symphony of flavors.

The Perfect Partners

But wait, there's more! The saucers on the side brought their A-game too. A dab of spicy chili and a splash of vinegar-based chili were like the supporting actors that stole the show. They elevated the mutton experience, making every bite an explosion of taste.

Is It Worth It?

At $5.50 for the soul-soothing bowl of mutton soup and an additional $0.50 for rice, 老吴記 Mutton Soup might not exactly be a 2-hour wait worthy, but it's definitely a treasure trove of flavors. The rich, hearty broth and the delicate mutton slices made us forget about time altogether.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

For the crunchy department comes in the form of savoury crunchy ikan bilis, as well as crispy deep fried shallots and garlic for the uplifting flavour and aromatics.

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...
