Mr NGFL said, “But I want to show your readers how humsum I am.”\u00a0Sorry, I have to blank him out.<\/p>\n

As you can see from Mr NGFL’s athletic wear, we hiked for 2 hours at the nearby Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and came here to replenish for our lost calories. We binge because we will have strength to diet tomorrow!<\/p>\n

The decor<\/strong> is old-skool homely style with two tables along the corridor. As a neighbourhood eatery, the boss\/server knows everyone and is very friendly<\/strong>. She recommended a few dishes to us.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ngo hiang <\/strong>($5). Wah, really quite solid. Not oily, crispy and you can really taste the home-cook-ness and hand-made-ness of this dish with slightly bigger piece of carrots to give it a sweetness and crunchiness. Very delicious – but can be less expensive?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fish head Curry<\/strong> ($20) is their specialty. I prefer more sourish assam fish head but the boss\/server told us that different people feedback-ed different things, so they adjust the curry to be half-assam, half-curry. The curry was quite robust but not very hot-spicy and the fish was fresh but not extremely fresh. Crowd-pleaser, everyone would love this. We drank up the curry and about 5000 calories.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Normally, obedient Singaporeans would stop at two<\/a>\u00a0dishes – but we don’t live in the 80s anymore and Mr NGFL said he wanted to try the lor bah<\/strong> ($8) or braised pork and beancurd. This was the only dish we weren’t very satisfied because the pork was cold and wasn’t tender. However, the sauce was very flavorful, and had a kick.<\/p>\n

Including rice ($2\/bowl) and drinks, we spent a total of $44.<\/p>\n

Overall, great unpretentious place with friendly service, serving the food at a quick pace. Delicious food that has a home-cooked quality. Definitely an eatery worth returning.<\/p>\n
