This plate of Fu Jian Mian is not your typical white fried hokkien mee. This Fu Jian Mian at $4, is stirred fried yellow noodles (flat kind) with dark sauce, pork slices, vegetable, fish cake and prawns. Since I was craving for prawns, I specially ordered one with only vegetables and prawns. The dark sauce was slightly salty, but that’s usually the case when it comes to the gravy for noodles. Prawns were not overcooked and it has already been peeled for you.

I had wanted to visit Paul during one of the lunch hours but after looking at the menu, my friends decided that it was too expensive to dine there during meal times so we said to head back for desserts instead! We went after our movie and it was quite late already, around 9plus. However there were still some people queuing, but I saw that there were quite a lot of empty seats outside. So we took the seats outside. Because we came rather late, most of the signature cakes and pastries were sold out. We asked for some recommendations and we got Pomme-Cassis ($8.50) and a chocolate tart (Tartelette chocolat, $6.50). GST and service charge prevails but plain water is complimentary.

The first bite down on Pomme-Cassis was just sour. It has caramelised apple slices in between the two layer of sponge cakes. I wasn't very impressed by it due to the first bite. Cakes are supposed to be sweet! Maybe this dessert requires more than just one bite to fully appreciate the taste. I wonder why it was recommended though. The chocolate tart was great! I enjoy my chocolate to be slightly more bitter and thus this suits my taste. Not recommended for people who dislike bitter chocolate though. The crust of this tart was awesome! I don't think it was baked hours prior to us eating it but the crustiness of the crust was maintained quite well.

I walked past there at around 6pm and surprisingly there was no one at all. So my friend and I were the first customers. I didn't like it that the lights were so dimly lit (around that time) and it sort of affected my mood for dinner already.

I shared the mushroom soup with my friend and it tasted not too bad! I love the garlic bread though, it's nicely toasted I ordered the creamy smoked duck spaghetti ($10.50) and as a person who does not like/eat creamy based pasta frequently, I must say this one at 49 seats is really not bad. I didn't feel sick of it after a few mouthfuls, which is a good sign that this is a good cream-based pasta. The only grip I had about this dish was that the amount of duck meat was too little and my pasta was too much.The interior of the café wasn't too bad, but as I mentioned earlier, there wasn't much lighting when I was there and I didn't like the metal chairs also. But we had friendly service from the staff!

*Note that this stall is not closed yet! But it will probably not be operating during SP's upcoming school holidays*

This is probably the cheapest mixed vegetable rice store within Singapore Polytechnic itself. I ordered 1 luncheon meat, 1 vegetable, 1 steam egg, fried fish with tomato gravy, rice and soup of the day (corn with carrot soup) at S$2.30. You are allow to scoop the soup of the day for free (they offer different soup everyday). Personally I loves their luncheon meat, steam egg and the soup of the day. The thickness of the luncheon meat was just right and it’s crispy outside. The steam egg was smooth and simple. I have never fail to finish up their soup of the day (they have corn soup, watercress soup, seaweed with egg and more), example for their corn with carrot soup, the taste was just right and the carrots were soft. As for their vegetable and fried fish, I would say it’s pretty normal.

I've previously tried their curry chicken, and I would say it's not bad. For curry chicken and one other veg, it only costs $1.70, with rice. But do take note of the long queue during lunch hours.

After my language lesson nearby, my friends suggested eating here for dinner. Surprisingly, there's not much people at around 6.30pm and it was great because we want to avoid the crowd. I supposed its location is not very near to the mrt station, which is why there's not much people despite it being dinner time. Head to the counter to order your food and it will be sent to you shortly!

I ordered the toast ($2, $1 for 1 toast) to share with my friend. I supposed by 1 toast, they mean one slice of the thick bread. It may look little but it's actually quite filling. At first I thought I've eaten French toast because there's quite a strong smell and taste of egg in the bread, but it's actually the kaya! One of the better toasts I've eaten so far. The bread is toasted to "not-too-dry" which is exactly what I like!! It leaves behind some softness of the bread after some toasting. Do give the toast a try! It left quite a deep impression on me. Ordered the curry chicken with prata ($6.50) as well. The curry chicken was a little spicy for me (I don't take much spicy food). It has 3 chicken parts, and 2 halves of a potato. I think the portion was quite big, probably because I had the toast before this. I suggest sharing with your friend if you're having this not as a meal. The potato was slightly hard, the meat was probably cooked for too long. The curry was not bad, but it lacked freshness. I still think the toast was the best!
