Seems to be an Old Name OK Sep 30, 2013

Chanced upon this place when i wanted to visit CAN restaurant next door. CAN was closed and i saw a queue forming at this Luk Lu coffeeshop. This coffeeshop is pretty old with just 3 other stalls selling food (claypot rice, duck rice). Its self service here with both the fried fish and raw version for selection. I opted for the fried version to go with rice and requested for more shredded egg slices. I was surprised when the dish was ready. The surprize was with the vegetable which i was actually given water cress (i think its water cress smile ) instead of the normal chye sim. Not sure if its got to do with the egg slices (50cents extra to get more slices). Taste-wise i thought it was pretty average with the Whampoa Beach Road version a lot more tasty than this. But it was refreshing to taste the different vegetable offered. Overall not a bad eat but if i would to return again, i'll probably try the claypot rice instead. My bowl of soup with rice and additional egg cost $5.50.

Don't like the Wasabi OK Sep 26, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Fast Food | Halal

This is quite a quiet outlet within the driving range itself. Yes car park charges applies, paid around $1.20 for 30min stay. Parking is available just infringing of the driving range. Only a few patrons on a wed night, I ordered the ultimate box with Fish Ole Burger, 1 piece of chicken, 1 whipped potato and 1 shots mango peach juice. Didn't really like the fish ole as I think the tartar or mayonnaise has abit of wasabi added. But the size of the burger was good, being longish in nature and not round. The sjora juice is a good alternative to soft drinks though. The chicken breast which I had was a little off form as well, the skin is good but the breast meat itself reminiscent of being "chemical frozen" despite its hot, yes that's how I felt. tongue

Sauce is the same OK Aug 26, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Teochew | Coffeeshop

First thing you observe is you no longer see the crowd and the servers dun seem that familiar. I recall always seeing the uncle with black frame specs taking my orders. Anyway at this new location, they are just meters away from mustafa centre. Human traffic is there but parking may still be a concern. Tip will be to park at mustafa and leave within an hour, i remember mustafa is free parking for 1st hour or something. They occupied 2 units at this kim san leng coffee shop. From the signage i can see usual kang kong and toufu, but there's also dishes like sambal sotong and prawn. Initially they were also offering noodles and yam rice as an option but have since removed it from the menu. I ordered 1 person portion with porridge. I first tasted the sauce, glad the sauce quality was still good, sweet and slightly starchy. But the meat seems to have dropped in quality, i no longer taste the smooth and soft duck meat, this time it was slightly tougher and dry. Chilli is still the same, mixture of belachan and light chiili sauce. For the 1 pax portion and 1 porridge , it cost $5.50. Certainly hope the quality improves else at this kind of pricing in this area, they may struggle soon IMO. By the way, its self service now instead of being served.

No Memory of Tokyo OK Aug 23, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Japanese | Restaurant | Ramen

Still not convinced that the Tokyo version is better, I decided to make a return to Menya Musashi. I ordered the ala carte Cha Shu Ramen Special which comes with the Black Tora Soup and also Dokko Octopus. This costs $15.90 before GST and the set lunch one cost $14.90, for a merely $1 more, you get one more cha shu and also the fried beancurd skin instead of the seaweed. It made me wonder if the set lunch is not value for money. Was hoping the server give some recommendations but no. Took around 10min for the food to arrive. Presentation wise not impressed, with the meat shielded by the beancurd skin. You get 2 round sized cha shu and half a tamago egg. Soup was nice, deeply flavoured but i find it a tad oily and most importantly could not bring back my memory of tokyo. The octopus is nice but pretty much many other places can match the quality. Overall just an average eat but if you would like a quiet ramen joint to eat on your own in the afternoon after peak hour, this is the place.

Its not herbal but pepper OK Aug 14, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Singaporean Chinese | Restaurant | Bak Kut Teh

Have always wanted to try this bak kut teh joint after seeing it always buzzling with people. There are 2 units for this joint along the shop huse, one is aircon setting while the other is not, prices wise they are the same. I always had the impression that this place serves the herbal version instead of the peppery one but i was wrong, they serve the pepper version as well. Ordered premium loin ribs which has more meat and also lean, braised pig trotters, groundnuts, kai lan and one you tiao. Wet tissue are at 20 cents each, also add 7% gst on top of your bill. I wouldn't say i'm entirely satisfied with this meal, maybe i had too much expectation, most of the dishes taste normal to me and i could not understand the reason behind the crowd. The soup is darker than most pepper version but it did not impress me enough.

But it does still hv the buzz of a old coffee house with option of drinking kungfu tea though i hardly see people doing it as most are younger working crowds diners.
