Red Bean Crêpe

The red bean paste is wrapped in a thin blanket of crisp-fried crepes, not only are they delicious, but also everyone's favorite, last to be on the table, but gone in seconds.

Sheng Jian Bao (Pan Fried Pork Bun)

This time, the name suggests exactly what it is, it's a bun, it's small, and very juicy inside, it's pan fried so you'll get a crispy bottom, but moist on top, same as the Xiao Long Bao (Little Dragon Bun), it's a must to have both as a snack or part of a lunch.

For this image to work, I had to waste the juice from within

Xiao Long Bao (Little Dragon Bun)


Although the name suggests it as a bun, a bread type of food, but it's more like a dumpling, usually steamed in bamboo containers, these little deluxe treats are a perfect starter for a meal, as you can see, the dish came out from steaming right onto the table.

You should also take notes that they produce juice inside after steamed, so when eating, don't just eat half, try having the whole thing in your mouth if you can, or the juice will escape and it won't taste as good, since the juice is the best part.

It is very important in setting up these little buns so they turn out perfect, other wise, the juice inside the bun will spill which spoils the whole enjoyment of devouring it and it looks like this place achieved it.
  1. to avoid the bun from sticking to the container, a layer of material is needed, alot of places uses sliced carrot, or lettuce, but it just ruins the taste if it was sticking to the bun, this place, they used wax paper, and it didn't stick at all, not one ruined bun
  2. space the bun so when they expand, the buns won't become attached twins

Fried Chicken w/ Coconut Rice


In Singapore, my GF told me the chicken rice here is the best of the best, no other chicken can beat this place, and it's extremely cheap!!! for more the 2 weeks that I stayed in Chinatown, I've had this as breakfast for more then 7 days, just can't get enough of it.

This dish comes with deep fried chicken wing, fried egg, a slice of cucumber, and coconut rice, plus an added taste with the semi spicy sauce, it's just delicious.

Hot Taro Paste


Nice little dish if you love taro, this yummy dessert is best served hot, and eaten hot, it's thick as a nice bowl of porridge, tastes sweet, and with the lotus seed, this is the best dish to end the meal.

Dry Noodles w/ Meat Mixture


If you're a meat lover, you've got to try this, the amount of meat on there seems of equal proportion with the noodles, there's also a bowl of soup on the side.

Noodles in Beef Stew

This is definitely one of the best beef stew I've had, and I eat this many many times whenever I get the chance to. The soup is not overly oily, the beef brisket is moist and not chewy, as an added bonus, there's beef tendons, but as always, it's the rich flavor of the soup that makes this bowl my no.1 choice.
