The Mighty Drumstick Delight

Chili Sauce: Sweet, Spicy, and Just Right

A good Nasi Lemak is incomplete without the right chili sauce, and Market Street's version is a masterpiece. It's subtly sweet with a spicy kick that hits all the right notes. Not too runny, not too thick – it's the Goldilocks of chili sauces.

Crunchy Ikan Bilis and Nutty Companions

The crunchy ikan bilis and nuts sprinkled generously over the rice add that perfect textural contrast. They're like the supporting actors in a blockbuster movie – small but pivotal, elevating the dish to new heights. They complement the rice and chili sauce like a harmonious symphony.

The Omelette Slice That's Pure Delight

Don't overlook the thin slice of egg omelette that graces your plate. It may seem unassuming, but it adds a delicate touch to the ensemble. Soft, slightly sweet, and a tad savory – it's a delightful surprise.

Otah: The Spicy Sidekick

The otah here is spicy and nice, just the way it should be. It's like the trusty sidekick in a superhero duo, enhancing the overall flavor profile of your meal.

Fried Ikan Kuning: Simple Yet Tasty

The deep-fried ikan kuning fish is a testament to the beauty of simplicity. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, it's a delightful addition to your Nasi Lemak plate.

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...

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...
