Brought my friend to this place as we were in the vicinity; it was quite crowded during dinner hours. They offer very affordable dishes and you can choose from a variety of combination - like fried rice with sambal squid, rice with egg, veg and prawn roll, rice with chicken and kangkong, etc etc, all priced between $3.90 - $6.90. My friend had the combination of egg, kangkong and their famous prawn roll at $6.90 - would have to recommend their prawn roll (ala carte at $6). I got the rice with garlic chicken and egg - preferred the fish but the chicken in this sauce was alright as well. We also had some garlic pork at $8; do avoid this as it is absolutely horrible, the black sauce overpowers the whole dish and it's basically diced pork (we thought it was pork chop and fried before we ordered). Do get the cucumber with apple juice, freshly made.

I was looking for a quick lunch and settled on mee pok from this stall which sells fishball noodles. There was a short queue during off peak lunch hours, and my friend has recommended this stall previously, so I decided to give it a try. It's an average bowl of fish ball noodles, and the mee pok was a little dry but still tangy. The fishballs were chewy and didn't taste too much like flour. Soup had MSG taste though.

Putien is a good place for a meal with your family, and a good alternative to crystal jade and the like. I tried the spinach with salted egg and century egg in supreme stock, which costs $12.90. The broth was very tasty and goes well with rice without being overly salty. I also tried their oyster omelette, which was rather overpriced at $16.90, was fried till crispy but nothing fantastic.

Sheng Kee is always a good place for desserts, as they have a variety of fruit based and traditional desserts. We came here after dinner, and I got the aloe vera lemon grass jelly dessert topped with strawberry bits. It was a refreshing dessert and not overly sweet and neither did it taste like syrup. My friends got the mango pomelo sago - pretty common dessert and tends to be sweeter, and the mango pudding - was quite alright, not too soggy.

We decided to drop by Fabulous BakerBoy for some cakes after brunch on a Sunday as we were nearby. We had their famous Red Velvet, which I found better than average, but I'm not really a fan of red velvet cakes; would've preferred a stronger cream cheese taste though. I really liked the other cake we had - Nutty Monkey, a banana cake with peanut butter - combination of banana, peanut butter and chocolate was great. The cakes cost $8 on average for a slice, and are huge, so it's good to share.

I noticed many people having their eggs benedict and tuna melts, which looked very appetizing, and reasonably priced at $11+ or so. Would be there to try them next.
