It is food outing like this that make me feel reviews platforms are important as it allows everyone including the restaurant owners to know about how well things are running at the shop. Pop by after lunch for a milk tea and kaya toast (heehee had a craving despite finishing lunch). The place is slightly dim abut is nicely decorated with cubicle seats and normal rectangular tables as well. The shock came when i was pulling out the green arm chair and saw strains of hair and paper bits on it. On closer look, i realized all the chairs were in similar condition, oldish and slightly stained but to have rubbish on it is quite a turn off. But i did not make a big fuss out of it, hesitated for 2 secs then decided to just sweep the hair and paper bits onto the floor. It took a while for my kaya toast to arrive as it was left at the counter and i had to signal one of the staff to send it to me, it was left there for more than 2 minutes actually. From far the toast bread already look weird and was further confirmed when served to me. Not the usual xin wang standard i was telling myself. Anyway proceeded to cut the toast up with fork and knife, that's where the disappointment happened, the bread apparently had a charred section, so bad that when i cut it up, the charred portion was also seen on the inner sides. it was obvious that kaya was spread over it to cover it. i wouldn't mind that its well done but at least scrap away the charred portion before adding the kaya etc. I immediately alerted the restaurant manager about it and told him to just charge me for the drink. I must applaud him for remaining calm and waiving off my milk tea charges. I do hope the kitchen staff work with him to prevent this from happening again. As for the interior and condition of the chairs, i certainly hope the management will do something about it. Having gripe so much, i must still say i love xin wang for its ambiance and food variety but if the quality is to continue to go south, its seriously going to lose more customers. Nevertheless thumbs-up for the nice milk tea.

have always wondered the difference between this stall and the race course road one so decided to pop by for lunch today. coupon parking is just beside lor 34. Guan's noodle is the shop beside tiong bahru bao. The place is like a coffeeshop style but with simple and nicely furnished wooden tables and chairs. both round and rectangle tables are available. Yr orders will be taken at your table. First look at the menu, pretty similar to Ah nan but they do have some very interesting side dishes like eggplant, baby abalones, fried fish skin etc. I proceeded to order the signature abalone noodle which cost around $6.50. drinks i ordered the ready paced chrysanthemum ginseng. When i saw the other table ordered fish skin, i decided to get this $4 side dish as well.

when the noodles were delivered, 1st impression it looks pretty much the same with the stick of 3 pieces of abalone on a satay stick skewer. on closer observation it seems to beat ah nan in its ingredients mixed. The 3 abalone were nicely cut meaty portion. there was one prawn, one yu jiao, bah chor, lean meat, fried pork lard, green lettuce and 1 fried fish ball. i like it that the noodles were not over cook and the sauce mix was not too oily. The ingredients went well with the mee pok as well. it was above average for me. The chilli offered is the soy sauce infused red cut chilli. i like this type that has been infused for long as it will not be too spicy. But the soup was the one that is surprising...it was flavorful and sweet, almost wanted to order another bowl, hopefully they did not use too much msg. The soup is definitely 1 level up most other stalls i've been too. maybe i will try the dumpling soup next time with rice, should be a nice eat. The fried fish skin was also delightful, fried on the spot as i can taste the crunchy and crispiness in it. too bad they do not offer mayonnaise as a dip, but it still taste good eating i standalone or dipping onto the noodle sauce.

i'm happy i had a good lunch.

Was here hoping to try the ayam penyet but it was not opened. so tried the chicken briyani set here instead. also added 2 of the ala carte vege, that cost me around $6 for this set. As usual generous serving of rice, cucumber. I would say in terms of quantity this stall is not stingy at all. I aso asked afor a searate plate of curry gravy and was gladly obliged. The tandoori chicken was a little cold though but the curry mix made up for it. i was lucky the vegetables were just out of the work so it was still hot.

Brought mum here for breakfast, was lucky to get a carpark lot coz its usually jammed pack on Saturday and Sunday mornings. You order at the counter area which also displays a full range of fried items from poh piah to egg tart to fried dumpling etc. There is also the steamed items like har gao, siew mai, chicken leg etc. I ordered the chee cheong fun (standard comes with bbq pork), har gao, chicken feet and spare ribs, and century egg porridge. I would say food wise its slightly above average, but the spare ribs is one of the meatier ones that i've tried before. Chicken feet fortunately wasn't too oily as well. Overall you will feel its made fresh on the spot. My bill adds up to $11 + $1.80 for 2 cups of coffee (buy it next stall beside dim sum but also from TBP).

I came by to utilize my online voucher. The set includes Ramen Santouka's Signature Special Mixed Soup Ramen (Awase-Aji) Set - Includes Char Siu, Tamago, Menma, Rice & Hojicha Tea. The mixed soup means combination of salt, soy sauce and soybean soup base. Really like it, its like a all in one taste, leaving you feeling that the soup is thick and full of goodness. Meat though it loses out to their signature pork cheek, is still a good companion to the soup. The ramen was nicely cooked, leaving a chewy bite. The bamboo shoots were not too salty and to have 1 full tamago is such a blessing. This set cost $15.90 before taxes.

We sat outdoors, which is still sheltered and you get to listen to the live band of the mexican restaurant next door. But not so much to my liking
