Guess what? I’m back 1 month later, to Tangled Pasta AGAIN! 😂

If you don’t already know, .pasta offers freshly made pasta using only natural ingredients - no food colouring or preservatives!

While they are not yet Halal-certified, they assured that their products are free from pork, lard and alcohol.

Ordering is a breeze; it’s self-service - simply scan the QR code on your table to place and pay for your order. The array of pasta options is truly impressive, spoiling us for choices.

In my previous review post, I enjoyed the delightful Pesto Besto (SGD $13.90). This time, I tried the Pinky Promise and Tom Yum Yum Yum, both also priced at SGD $13.90.

Despite trying them at different outlets, the quality remains consistent. Both pastas were cooked perfectly, with an al-dente texture.

For Pinky Promise, it’s Beetroot Pasta (or pick your preferred pasta type) served in creamy Mentaiko sauce with generous portion of salmon chunks. It’s topped with Ebiko for that burst of umami flavour and a perfectly cooked sous vide egg, adding a creamy texture with its runny yolk. While the Mentaiko sauce didn’t have that intense Mentaiko flavour I anticipated, the dish overall provides a creamy, briny and savoury experience.

Tom Yum Yum Yum was equally delightful. The pasta was coated in a creamy Tomato Yum sauce, accompanied by sautéed mushrooms, charred tomatoes, and chargrilled prawns. Ingredients were infused with strong Wok Hei flavour. The sauce provided a satisfying balance of spice and tanginess, not overly spicy and suitable for those with a lower tolerance for heat.

Feeling adventurous? Build your own pasta! Pasta portions start at 110g, priced from SGD $6.90 for the base, with additional add-ons available at extra cost. You can also top up $5.90 for combo (side + drink).

While Tangled’s pasta may not be extraordinary, they are certainly above average. If you haven’t try Tangled Pasta, you absolutely must! It’s a great alternative to Tipo Pasta bar, and at a more wallet-friendly price point!

Hainanese approved!✊🏻 If you are enjoying Hokkien Mee at Swee Guan’s, you might wanna also head over to Kwong Satay, which is located to just a street away, and enjoy some lip smacking juicy Satay!

Kwong Satay has been around for more than 60 years, way back to those days where Mr Wong Chee Kwong’s grandfather peddled his trishaw and sell satay at Katong. Two decades later, Mr Wong took over and continued their family business at Geylang, with no change to their original recipe.

Kwong’s Satays are definitely more aromatic than others that I have tried elsewhere. This is my 3rd time coming back again, and their satay standard is still the same. Their satay are marinated with lot of ingredients such as Saffron (Yes you didn’t read wrongly, they are one of the rare stalls that uses Saffron), lemon grass, tumeric, candle nut, galangal, cumin, fennel, as well as cinnamon, star anise and nutmeg, while shallots and garlic are added for piquancy in the marinate mix.

For Satay gravy, in addition to peanuts; lemon grass, blue ginger, candle nuts, garlic and onions are added, brewed together with belachan, and finely grounded to a velvety blend. As this supposed to be a Hainanese recipe, they’ll usually top the satay sauce with a dollop of pineapple puree boiled with sugar, an Peranakan-inspired recipe which has a sweet yet zesty pineapple sauce blended into their peanut dip.

This time round, I ordered all pork belly satay. As always, nicely charred, juicy and succulent! Their pork belly satay is really a winner! Good fat to meat ratio, grilled to melt-in-your-mouth perfection! Pork, chicken, mutton satay are other satay options available but their pork belly satays still topped my choice. A bit more pricey but the portion is slightly bigger than the normal ones.

😋 Definitely worth a try if you haven’t!

Back again to Swee Guan Hokken Mee for dinner! IMO one of the better Hokkien Mee in Singapore!

The unique difference in Swee Guan is that they used charcoal fire to fry their Hokkien Mee. Super Gao Wok Hei! Nothing much to fault in Swee Guan’s Hokkien Mee. Considering that the price is slightly steeper than the usual Hokkien Mee at coffee shops, I only wished the portion to be bigger for $8 😁. Anyways there’s still generous amount of ingredients in this SGD$8 plate. 口口都是好料! If the portion is not enough for your big appetite, they also have $10 and $15, $20, $30 portion lah.

✓ Wok Hei!
✓ Noodles were well cooked. Not overly dry or too watery for it’s gravy.
✓ Lots of fresh ingredients
✓ Need to queue, however queue moves pretty fast. Waiting time for food to be at least 15-20mins.

Go try if you haven’t! You are welcome! 😎

[Halal food] The Min Jiang Kuehs from are always a delight to enjoy for my afternoon tea! I love that they have traditional Min Jiang Kueh and fun creative fillings pancakes. 🤤

Here's a quick guide if this is your first time trying their traditional MJK:

1. Choose skin
They have three traditional MJK crust flavours to choose from:
Original, Charcoal, and Matcha.

2. Choose your filling
Pick fillings between Peanut, Coconut, Red Bean and Sesame fillings.

I had the original pancake crust. Their MJK pancake are fluffy, warm and so yummy!

✓ 𝗖𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘁: Old school classic. Bright orangy color from the red sugar. Subtle fragrance and juicy fresh desiccated coconut fillings. Yum!

✓ 𝗥𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗻: Very smooth, creamy sweet red bean paste with slight hint of smokiness! I think pairing it with Matcha pancake crust will be perfect, and reminds us of the Japanese Matcha Azuki bean dessert.

✓ 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘂𝘁: This is the ultimate MJK classic, how can you not have? Generous chunky yet creamy peanut filling and doesn't falls apart like those dry powdery peanut ones at some other shops. So nutty, so wholesome.⭐⭐⭐

✓ 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲: It's slightly uncommon to find sesame flavoured ones at MJK stalls. Their black sesame ones are intensed and earthy. Grainy and nutty goodness, people who love anything sesame will like this! It's not bad though people with sweet tooth might like it to be slightly sweeter.

These Min Jiang Kueh snacks are tasty, filling, and affordable, priced less than SGD$2. Among all the traditional flavours, the peanut filling won my heart. I heard that their durian filling pancakes are always selling like hot cakes, I never get to try them because it's always sold out. 😂

Drop by and get a few of these freshly made MJK for you and your loved ones to try. Let me know what's your favourite! 😋

You might have come across videos circulating on social media featuring the viral Korean or Japanese pancakes shaped as a 10 won or 10 yen coin. These pancakes have gained significant popularity, with a recent emergence in Singapore – a local twist on the trend called the “10 Cent Pancake.”

🪙 The 10 Cent Pancake is priced at SGD $5 and is reminiscent of the old Singapore 10 cent coin, but much larger, around the size of my palm – quite amusing!

The pancake batter itself is surprisingly not bad, boasting a delightful toasty flavour. What makes it even more indulgent is the generous filling of warm, stretchy mozzarella cheese inside.

In addition to their cheese pancake, also offers a selection of tea and coffee, perfect for pairing to balance out the richness of the cheese.

While it’s uncertain if they’ll introduce other pancake fillings in the future, cheese enthusiasts in the vicinity might want to pay them a visit and experience the joy of that satisfying cheese puuuuuuuull. 🧀

Happy Mother’s Day to my mama and all the Super Moms out there! ❤️

Decided to bring my parents to try , it’s their first time here and I am glad that they enjoyed this Taiwanese style hotpot.

In case you haven’t been to Cou Cou, you should give it a try! Many broth to choose from, but this time round I only ordered Pig stomach broth (猪肚鸡汤), a soup which my parents are more familiar with.

For first timers to Cou Cou, you might wanna take note:

1. Suggest that you do reservation. If you walk-in, come by earlier to get your queue number and go shopping. Walk-in queue number during peak dining period, expect approx 1-1.5hrs waiting time. 😖

2. Compared to HDL which has options of half size and full size portion for hot pot dishes, Cou Cou hot pot dishes are all in full size. Also the hotpot broth contains quite a bit of ingredients in it, so unless you are very hungry, don’t over order.

3. Suggest that you don’t have to order vegetables because each dish already had some vegetables on it.

4. Free flow Lu Rou Fan (Taiwanese braised pork rice), yummy but don’t get too loaded with carbs 😂

5. Free milk tea, free dessert, free slushy. Try their slushy! Refreshing!

6. Bring along your DBS/ POSB card if you have it! There is a 1 for 1 promotion for all seasonal Ala carte menu exclusively for DBS/ POSB card members. This promotion valid from 1 May 2024 to 30 April 2025, at all Cou Cou Hotpot outlets in Singapore.

Overall it’s a great experience! Cosy ambiance, great friendly service, food was fresh and good quality, food presentation was nice. Price point similar to HDL. Definitely surpass my expectation, of course we will be back again! 😍

I’m kicking myself for not trying Tangled Pasta sooner, but I’m thrilled I finally did! Tangled Pastas offers freshly made pasta using only natural ingredients — no food coloring or preservatives!

We had the Pesto Besto (SGD $13.90), and it was delightful! They used spinach pasta which was coated in Pesto sauce, cooked to perfection with an al-dente bite.

The pesto had a delightful nutty, herby flavor, complemented by generous servings of salmon chunks, almonds, garlic, and a perfectly cooked sous vide egg, adding a creamy touch with its runny yolk.
