I ate here in the day when it was a kopitiam, and had the famous yong tau foo and vegetarian beehoon. The yong tau foo was not bad but the tau kee was a tad bit salty. The vegetarian beehoon was nice and tasty. However, the vegetarian sides contrary to popular sentiments, I found was overly fried and very oily. The zai er was not bad but the beancurd skin with mushrooms inside was overly starchy.

I would safely, say Barcook Bakery has one of the most creative flavors and best-tasting buns in Singapore. My personal favorite is the liu sha bun- a soft bun with lava- like salted egg yolk, which we normally see in baos at dim sum. I love this especially much as there is lotsa liu sha filling, which is not oily, and goes perfectly well with the soft bun! It is best eaten hot. Other recommended buns from Barcook, is the Nacho Potato bun, and the Cream Cheese with Raisin bun.

Perfect for a light lunch is the Wagyu Beef Salad with Warm Mushrooms at Dome. It comes with lettuce tomatoes, avocado, beetroot, carrot, and of course, wagyu beef and warm mushrooms! The wagyu beef hot from the over, is tender and tasty, and it together with the warm mushrooms, which brings out a nice truffle taste, makes a originally cold salad nice and warm.

The indian food at Satay by the Bay is not fantastic. While the portion of the cheese tosai was very generous, it was not evenly cooked, with some parts a bit burnt, and the tosai itself leaning on the thick side. The dips were also very diluted. The tandoori chicken was even worse. It was served cold, and the portion was pathetic, where a tiny piece of chicken cost me $7.

The handmade noodles, i.e. ban mian at Qiu Rong Hand made Noodles, are fantastic. The soup is savory with generous share of ingredients, and the noodles has great texture. However, what I like even more than the ban mian from this stall, is their guo tie, which is fried chinese dumplings stuffed with pork and chives fillings. While one might find the skin slightly thick in the beginning, its crispy texture, makes the dumpling taste great with the vinegar dip.
