Tian Tian is a well-known stall for a reason – their Hainanese chicken rice is flavorful and satisfying. The chicken is perfectly cooked, and the rice is fragrant and fluffy.
However, as a local, I have to mention the queue. It can get quite long, especially during peak hours.
Overall: If you’re a tourist or haven’t tried Tian Tian before, and you don’t mind the wait, it’s worth checking out. But for locals, there might be other Hainanese chicken rice options in the area with shorter lines.
Highly impressed by the chef’s meticulous attention to detail! The food presentation was intricate and visually stunning, but the taste truly lived up to the artistry. Each dish offered a unique and exciting flavor profile. The wine pairing was expertly curated, perfectly complementing each course. And to top it off, the price for the degustation menu was very reasonable. A truly memorable dining experience
Hidden Gem for Affordable HK-Style Noodles! This stall offers a delicious and affordable option for those craving Hong Kong-style beef noodles. For just $4, you get a generous portion of perfectly cooked noodles in a flavorful broth. The star of the show is definitely the melt-in-your-mouth pork knuckle – a real crowd-pleaser! The portion size is just right, leaving you satisfied but not overstuffed.
This stall reminds me of classic Hong Kong eateries with their old-school cooking style. They also offer a variety of other roasted meats and pig trotters, but honestly, the HK beef noodles are so good, they’re hard to resist! It’s a welcome surprise to find such an affordable option with a good amount of greens included.
Nasi Lemak with a Modern Touch! This stall offers a unique twist on the classic Nasi Lemak, and it works! I especially loved the sambal, crispy ikan billis, and incredibly flavorful coconut rice.
A big shoutout for their bold choice to include an onsen egg – it adds a luxurious and delicious element to the dish. The fried chicken was perfectly seasoned and juicy, rounding out the entire experience.
This long-standing stall remains a popular choice, and for good reason. I recently revisited for a late breakfast and tried their Wantan Noodles again.
As always, I was impressed by the roasted meats, especially the char siew. It continues to be perfectly tender and moist, with a delicious balance of sweet and savory flavors. The only minor downside was that the portion of roasted meat seemed a bit smaller than I remember.
This stall offers delicious char siew, served on a bed of fluffy chicken rice. You can even customize your char siew – choose lean, fatty, or a mix of both! The char siew itself is a standout – beautifully caramelized with a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors. Each bite is tender and bursting with flavor. I opted for the half fat-to-lean ratio, which was perfect for me. The accompanying sauce on the chicken rice was light and complemented the char siew perfectly, without overpowering the dish
Highly recommend the dry prawn noodle! Living up to the positive buzz, this dish delivered excellent flavor. The best part? The prawns are already deshelled – no need to worry about messy peeling while you eat!
This makes it a truly “shiok” experience, especially when paired with their house-made sambal and crispy fried lard. The prawns themselves were fresh and had a satisfying firm bite. I always appreciate the convenience and ease of having them fully peeled!
Delicious Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang! I recently tried the Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang here, and while it’s priced a bit higher than some other options, I found it to be quite good value for money. The grilled chicken was particularly flavorful and well-cooked
Exquisite Chinese Fine Dining at Summer Palace! This restaurant offers a truly elegant and sophisticated take on Chinese cuisine.
Our meal itself was a delightful journey through various dishes. We particularly enjoyed the stewed kurobuta pork ribs and the dim sum. Each course was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The wok fried Angus beef was a standout, and the chilled snow pear dessert provided a delightful ending to the evening.
This restaurant offers a truly unique take on classic Singaporean dishes, with innovative presentations and mind-blowing flavors.
The staff were both professional and friendly, providing clear explanations for each dish. As Singaporeans ourselves, we were initially unsure how our favorite dishes might be reinterpreted. However, we were quickly impressed by the creativity and respect shown to the original flavors. Each dish retained its Singaporean essence while being elevated to a whole new level.
Highly recommended for all diners, especially those seeking a unique and modern take on Singaporean cuisine!
