I ordered a meesua (small) which cost $7.90 if im not wrong. Fairly cheap considering their other dishes, but portions were for a single person so don’t expect a big bowl. I absolutely love their meesua. Its ‘dry’ meesua which means no soup but the noodles are still swimming in some sort of sauce (which is very nice to drink by the way). The toppings include prawns (fresh and taste great with their homemade chili), shellfish (2 types, one of which I felt wasn’t very fresh), tau pok, egg, vegetables and a sprinkle of seaweed.

Ps: their homemade chili is absolutely not to be missed. It’s the highlight of going to putien.

In search of cheap and good prata? Try ghim moh market. Nearest MRT: buena vista, Bus: 100. In the mornings, theres normally a relatively long queue at this stall, but the queue moves fairly quickly. Im a big fan of their prata (i have it at least once a month) because its not too oily like many of the pratas nowadays, sometimes if you're lucky you get ones with crispy edges, otherwise the normal ones are also great because they do not become soggy if you da bao them back home. And they are always willing to give you more curry upon request. Oh talking about their curry - its really thick and fragrant, i never waste a drop of it.
It is not opened at night though, so no prata supper fix here.

As the title says, Karu's really does have the best fish head curry in town in my opinion. Its curry is not too spicy yet not too bland, it serves a generous portion of vegetables in its curry and i have never found their fish to be unfresh.

They also sell pappadam (indian cracker) in packages of 18-20 uncooked pieces for $1. All you have to do is deep fry them before starting on the fish head curry and you will get fresh crispy pappadam to go with the curry.

One reason why i always take away is because your clothes and hair will smell of the curry after a meal there. Do remember to bring your own pot there if you are taking away because it will save you the extra money for the extra large container necessary to house the gigantic fish head.

I can’t for the life of me remember what the name of the dessert I ate at pique nique last week, but it was fantastic. It’s a cup of mostly thick cheesy cream with a layer of jam in between, strawberries and cubes of biscuit that taste like digestive biscuits and blueberries sprinkled on top. It was absolutely heaven and I will definitely recommend this to everyone.

Pique nique was rather crowded when we visited it on a Saturday afternoon. Expect to wait at least 20-30 minutes as it is a rather small outlet and most patrons stay for quite some time.

Yoshinoya at 313 was rather quiet when we visited it during dinner time on a weekday. There was no queue and the food was served almost instantly (i was impressed). I ordered a student meal: Beef with vegetables bowl. The vegetables were a little undercooked thus they tasted raw and blend, and i was disappointed with the miserable amount of sauce in the beef bowl compared to the previous time i patronised yoshinoya. The meal came with a bowl of miso soup as well.
