Not knowing what to order, we were recommended by their friendly waitress, their hot selling item of Watashino Hayashi Rice, which was made up of a generous portion of Japanese hashed beef stew, consisting of tender sliced beef, onions, and a thick demi-glace sauce made of tomato puree and red wine. On its own, it had an elegance and depth of richness, mainly tasted of tomato, yet elevated with its reduced red wine allure, infused marvelously into their tenderlicious beef slices. Coupled with a thick patty of pork and beef meat patty, which cost an additional $1. Subtly sweet, soft yet held an intricate firmness with a well caramelized crust. Next were 3 beautifully buttered scallops for the umami aspect. These were married together with perfectly cooked short grain rice, together with refreshing greens topped with roasted sesame dressing.

For $17 as its base price, you get a cripsy chicken cutlet, or saba fish at no additional top-up. But if you fancy a pork/beef patty like us, additional $1 is needed, or $2 for a tonkatsu.

For sides, instead of buttered scallops, you can opt for crab cream croquette, a fried egg, or a crispy salmon.

Perhaps slightly pricey, but do consider it at a cafe, in the CBD area, and you are getting top notch friendly service with quality food at Japan Rail Cafe's comfortable ambience. ^^

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...

Experience Spicy and Savory Flavors with Ng Kuan’s Chilli Pan Mee Pork Cutlet Ban Mian

Looking for a tasty late night meal around Hougang Kovan area? We headed down for Ng Kuan Chilli Pan Mee for their 炸猪肉板面, spicy noodles with their delish pork cutlet for this food review. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Their noodles were amazingly springy, coupled with their awesome thick chili that was spicy and marbled with texture. Mixed together with their noodles and you get a delectable and tremendously satisfying combi. Thrown into the mix was an egg with runny yolk for the added smoothness and silky texture added to the noodles. 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. On the side, we had their deep fried pork cutlet, chopped into bite-sized chunks. They were fabulously deep in distinct flavour, crunchy and varying and superior in taste and texture. Although greasy, it was a marvelous pairi...

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...
