A sudden craving for Laksa had me travelling quite a distance from my comfort zone in Chai Chee to Mukmin Restaurant at Blk 129 Bedok North Avenue 2. This nondescript stall tucked at a corner came highly recommended among the few Laksa sellers in Bedok. Truth be told it was a tad too salty for my liking. It could be better with more santan (coconut milk). The lack of enough santan brought out the fishiness of the gravy which rendered the dish overall salty. I reckon the stall is much better off with its Kacang Pool which quite a number of customers were ordering on this rainy day, Friday 8th January 2020. At $3, the Laksa was alright but the salty aftertaste lingered.

Mee Rebus @ Blk 131 Marsiling Road
Review: Mee Rebus Nur Muslim Delight
This is probably the cheapest Mee Rebus. The reason why I said that is because this serving of Mee Rebus bowl can actually feed 2 pax and it is only $3 (add 50 cents if you want the Bagedil). The gravy is even nice to be eaten on its own, sambal is great, more than enough mee put in, egg and a good sprinkle of friend onions. Not the best I have tasted in Singapore and presentation could have been better but overall a really good Mee Rebus that if you are in Marsiling, you should not give it a miss.

Nasi Goreng Kampung @ Causeway Point Bagus
Review: Nasi Goreng Kampung – Noticing the signage promoting a new item – Nasi Goreng Kampung at $5.50 I decided to give it a try. Probably because I happened to be the only person making an order, the Nasi Goreng Kampung was prepared faster than I could cook a maggie. I was quite surprised almost like warming up a pre-cooked meal timing. Nonetheless the food taste freshly cooked. With egg topping, the price of $5.50 (cheaper if you have the Kopitiam cashcard) seems decent. Taste wise, I have tasted better elsewhere before. I would say the quality and quantity to be good for the value you paid for. No regret i trying it in fact, I finish the entire meal. Just that the experience wouldn’t be sufficient to find myself craving for a return.
Roti Kirai Mel Cuisine
Review: Roti Kirai Mel Cuisine
My family’s favourite. We have ordered this set several times for ourselves as well as a meal gift for others. This is a great choice for many reasons. Firstly, for only $50 you are getting a lot to go around eg 50 pcs of Roti Kirai (also known as Roti Jala), 1 tub of curry chicken, egg salad with peanut sauce. Second, the taste is simply wonderful especially the curry. It will get you coming back for me as you got both quantity and quality. As mentioned our first time order resulted in repeated subsequent orders. The serving can cater for the entire family of 6 so it is a great dish to have during celebrations and gatherings. And finally, how about getting great tasting food delivered to your doorstep?

Chilli Crab @ Chai Chee Seafood
Review: Chiili Crab@ Chai Chee Seafood 359 Changi Road.
We had several dishes but principally we were there for the Chilli Crab. A mid-sized Chilli Crab serving will cost you about $72 but it can cater to between 4 to 6 pax no problem. While the portion remains good as we remember it, the taste is not as it used to be. The Chilli Crab back then was more ‘authentically Chai Chee Seafood’.
Ayam Penyet Chicken Rice
Rice not oily as most chicken rice and the chicken not that fresh. Sambal, not the usual chicken rice type. But because it was a cold wet Saturday afternoon it looks attractive on the billboard and I am sold. Or perhaps, It is really actually an ayam penyet rice and not chicken rice…
King’s Surf and Turf
Review: Extra Large Tomahawk (1.4 to 1.6kg) Fish and Chips x2 (Good for 4 – 6 pax) @ 324F Changi Road.
Get ready for a ride as this is truly for 6 pax enjoyment. I was there with my family given a treat for my 53rd birthday and it was a great venue choice. We chose the C meal package on the menu – Extra Large Tomahawk Fish and Chips at a price tag of a whooping $189.90. That set comes with everything that is mouth watering and photoshoot-ready presentation.
