Other items worth trying is the MAN TOU!
I think it's one of the best that I have eaten. The man tou is cut into 2 and deep fried. The outside is crunchy but the inside is soft. It goes extremely good with the saucy crabs.
Another item to recommend is the fried mee sua. At $5 per plate, it has generous ingredients and it's not any other mee sua you have eaten before!
Of course the honey-black pepper sauce pork ribs "his food blog" mentioned is a 100% must try. The combination of the sweet honey and the slightly spicy pepper goes well with the friend ribs.
Other items I have tried are the golden dragon chicken, an imitation of roast pig but it's not comparable. Fried mini sotong is good but not it's not a 100% must try.

i went to restaurant on 2 consecutive days... what do you think?

You think it's crazy? But it's true at Bai Koh Ken.
It originates from Japan and there are 2 branches over there.
It's authetic Japanese Ramen cooked and served by Japanese. Comes with a pot of free cold tea.
The ramen is very chewy and the soup is extremely tasty.
I have tried the shoyu ramen and even though the soup is rich in taste, I'm 100% sure it contains very little or even no ajinomoto. (I don't feel thirsty after the meal)
The add on egg is as good as the ramen. Even though the egg white is fully cooked, the egg yolk still remains sticky but soothing to the mouth.
If you are a ramen fanatic or a japanese food lover, you should definitely try this! Opens on weekends so you don't have to squeeze with the working crowd!
If you think that 1 bowl is too big, you can also opt for half bowl which costs slightly more than half the price!

There were about 10 of us and each of us tried to order a different dish from the rest as much as possible. The menu was comprehensive but we only manage to 6 to 7 different types of dishes.
I remember NONE of the dish tastes right. Even the most basic, the easiest to cook, FISH AND CHIP was HORRENDOUS. After the main dish, I don't even bother to order the EXPENSIVE desserts.
In fact, the cafe says for itself... changing appetite... changes your appetite... Ever since, I have never step into this cafe anymore.

For those who might be going to NUS Science faculty, never ever step into this cafe!
Cos the place is small and poorly ventilated BUT air conditioned with the kitchen outside. And it will stink your clothes with all the oil and smell!
If that is not bad enough, it takes a long time to order the food and it takes another few minutes for the food to get ready... so you will stink even more!
Finally about the food... I ordered a MEDIUM steak which costs me $5.50 (an indecent price given that it is in a university) and it took quite awhile for the food to get ready and I guessed they must have overcooked it. I gave them the benefit of doubt and took the food back to my seat.
The moment my knife lands on the beef steak, i guessed it... it's a piece of well done tooth breaking steak... Feeling damn cheated (because there is another fast food stall in the canteen which serves GOOD MEDIUM beef steak at $3 only), i went back to the counter and exposed myself to more smelly FUMES...
i asked the person to recook another piece for me and he complied (maybe this is the only good thing about this cafe)... BUT the results are the same... they gave me a well done piece....
probably you guys will say thats what you expect for a $5.50 steak... but if the $3 steak sold at the canteen can do a medium, why the $5.50 steak can't...
P.S: do not ever step into MEGABITES CAFE!

Set along the East Coast beach located at the old Big Splash (after the revamp), it lies at one corner, isolated from the rest of the restaurants.. There are 2 choices of seats, brightly lit indoors with see through glass walls or outdoors crouch with live band and outdoor bar (yet to open, official opening on 20 feb)..
It was V-day and they provided set dinners, it was a 8 course dinner that includes...
Bread and butter
Fresh Oysters (it was very bad)
Scallop with egg and truffle oil (must try)
Maguro Pasta (unique)
Soursop Sorbet
Tenderloin Beef (side dishes are special)
Dessert (interesting)
Coffee or Tea
and it costs only $120 per pax with a bottle or red or white wine!
Yah, it may sound quite expensive but the food was extremely good, every dish was unique and special.. and we went back quite full after the food!
The service was ok, it wasn't bad neither it was extremely good but that place is a definite must-try for couples to go there and enjoy the ambience and to stroll along the beach after a hefty dinner. It's also great for chill-out with a large group of friends.... if you guys have run out of ideas where to bring your partners, this would be the place!

it's not a condusive place to study due to the large crowd especially noisy kids during off-school hours.
The place is quite open so it is quite easy to get distracted by the shoppers walking around.
Definitely not a place for students to study. I have stayed in Sengkang for 5 years but I have only been to this Mcdonald's less than 10 times. It's quite inaccessible because it's located on the basement and it's a hassle to go over.

But each time you go there, your wallet goes bonkers!
I visited Imperial Treasure once last year when it was the hairy crab season.
I missed the starters as I was late and the first dish I had was Pig's Stomach Soup. It wasn't really the best of start to have such a heavy soup but it turned out that the soup was very mild but soothing for the thoart. The taste, the portion, the ingredients were in the right proportion... in short, PERFECT!
Next came the scallop in egg white. One look at it you will know it's good food. I have not tried the steam egg molemole mentioned, but the egg white looks exactly the same for this dish. It's super soft and super sweet! When you eat with the scallop, the soft sweet egg white mix together with the chewy scallop... HEAVENLY!
The third dish was fried bak kut. Which has similar taste to prawn paste chicken, just that it's pork that is being fried. What's special is the meat is still tender even though it's deep fried.
Finally is the hairy crab , I have heard many people saying about it. But it's nothing special, not because the way imperial treasure cook... generally i still prefer normal crabs. There isn't much meat inside a hairy crab and the paste (yellow) where everyone goes for is just so-so. Probably I can't appreciate hairy crab and I don't think it's worth $60 - 70 per piece. In fact, I prefer the ginger tea that comes after it to remove the coolness of the hairy crab. haha!
One thing to mention is the service provided by the waitress. It was dedicated and when we first did not order any desserts, she remembered and asked us several times to make sure she did not miss out on helping us to order. Excellent service!
At the end, when the bill came.... it's $530 for 6 people....

Well, a short review for this secluded "zi cha" store located at the outermost part of Yishun.
It has been around for at least 15 years. It used to be well know for their fresh crabs and unique dishes and attracted customers from various parts of Singapore. Some actors and actresses were seen dining there before. But nowadays, the weekends are packed with regular customers (I frequent there every weekend, so I know).
One dish I will recommend is their $20 steamboat that comes with fish slice, pork, sotong, squid, mussels, vege, 2 eggs, tofu, 2 prawns and "bao bei". The list might be very little, but all the ingredients are fresh. The soup is unique as it has herbs but the taste of the herbs is not strong. The soup is extremely rich in flavour and I'm very sure it is not due to mono sodium glutamate (because I won't feel thirsty) after the meal. For a price of $20, it's sufficient to feed 2 person to fullness.
Another dish which is unique is the pumpkin crab. I have tried it twice when it's cold, so my judgement might not be correct. Wait till I taste the crab when it comes right out of the kitchen, then I will review it.
Finally, it is their XO crab bee hoon. I suppose they are the first to serve crab bee hoon with XO sauce ($5 additional for XO sauce) and the sauce really goes well into the soup.
If you don't mind dining by the roadside, this is one place you should try if you happen to be around the area.

Ever since the price increase which happend last year. The standard dropped tremendously.
My favourite drink is honey green tea and it use to taste extremely refreshing. However, I suspect that not only they increase the price, they reduce the quality of the drinks also.
if you guys can remember, the main difference between Cup Walker and Sweet Talk is the sweetness of the pearls. After the price increase, the pearls still remain "QQ" but gone were the sweetness. The pearls are sweet because they are soaked in syrup for Cup walker. I guess that after the price increase, the management also save on the quality of the pearls.
Not only that, another decline in standard is the sweetness of the honey green tea. It used have a strong honey sweetness and I always can see some undissolved honey laying on the bottom of the cup. But nowadays, maybe due to cost cutting, the tea taste like shit (it's like this for honey, if there is insufficient honey, the drink becomes very awkward).
I try to avoid the branch at Compass Point unless I have a very big craving for it. Even if so, I will ask the auntie to make it sweeter. But whenever I do that, they always give me a kind of face making me look as if I'm very greedy.
So my advice is avoid this branch as much as possible, if not, request the drink to be made slightly sweeter.

What I like about this fish soup is
1. The EGG FLOSS, which looks damn oily and fattening BUT it does not stain the soup with oil. The soup still taste simple and soothing.
2. The SOUP BASE, one look at it you will know it's brewed with fish bones. The soup has a very nice fragrant of fish and very rich in protein!
3. The TONNES OF VEGE, as a health concious person, the healthy fish soup has lotsa crunchy vege that really compliments the soup.
Moreover, this stall offers sambal fish, prawns and sotong. These dishes are slightly unhealthy but goes well with the fish soup when you are really hungry.
Personally I only like the sotong because it's a hassle to eat the prawns when they are soaked in sambal sauce and you have to peel the skin while the fried fish becomes soggy when soakd in the sambal sauce.
Cost? $20 with change for 2 person ordering 2 fish soups and 1 sambal dish.
