ordered their popiah
taste & flavour is good, however it came quite soggy.
I suspect the staff had made extra and left it out in the open because out dish came within seconds.
barley and milo ice is ready made and placed in a refrigerator for us to take & make payment
milo ice is too sweet. and not enough milo taste .. I still prefer freshly made drinks.
service can be improved.

found this neat looking place at upper thomson road known as "old school delights"
love the decor inside which really looks like a classroom - chalk scribblings on blackboards, wooden desks and chairs and candy-filled glass containers at a corner like a miniature tuckshop.
There is also a stationery set on each desk. ours had 5 stones - the game which I used to play as a kid & erasers which can be used to play an eraser snatching game

tried their chendol. Its very rich in coconut milk & gula melaka. . sweet, refreshing and absolutely delicious!.
will come back next time to try their main dishes

Love crystal jade bread & buns

char siew pau - love that the skin is tender and not too floury or thick, barbeque meat inside is not too fatty or sweet.
tastes best when steamed

po luo pao / pineapple bun for it resembles a pineapple. - love the crispy crust outside, crystal has 2 variants, one which char siew inside/ plain.. i love both , but sometimes I'll buy a plain one home, slab butter on it, stuff it with a canned pineapple slice & microwave it.. butter oozes out from the bread with the heat. a cheap alternative to a good tea snack!

takoyakis in a boat-shaped container looks really huge and appetising.
aromatic and flavourful, its crispy on the outside, moist and warm on the inside, its saltier and much more flavourful than the other takoyakis i have tried. flour is not too thick and the filling is generous
also love the seasoning and generous amounts of shaved fish flakes.
really worth the queue!

my favourite bubble tea stall for now is "shiny tea"
it has a range of teas from osmanthus, tie guan yin to pu erh.. there are also milk variants should you prefer something milky
their white pearls are different from other bubble tea stalls around. its smaller and tadpole like and goes really well with non-milk teas.
shiny tea is from taiwan and its claimed that their bubble tea is approved by the original make of bubble pearls.

tried their osmanthus tie guan yin tea with 20% sugar and white pearls - really refreshing and smooth
had a free upsize with their current promotion
love it!
