Crispy Mala Chicken Burger @ Shiok Burger, Lot One Shoppers' Mall

Shiok Burger has just opened its latest outlet at Lot One Shoppers' Mall, so I went to check them out on their opening day.

Browsing through the menu on the self-service kiosk, I decided upon the crispy mala chicken burger. I could not believe my eyes when I look at the price.

For $5, I could get myself a mala chicken burger... with a drink included!

River Valley Nasi Lemak @ Lucky Food Centre, Lucky Plaza

It has been a while since I last visited Orchard Road.

Since I am in the vicinity of Lucky Plaza, I decided to seek out lunch at the basement where Lucky Food Centre is. 

It is an old haunt of mine where I had my lunch several times each week when I worked nearby decades ago. I would usually have the nasi lemak from River Valley Nasi Lemak as pricing was affordable.

I am not even sure if the stall is still there after all these years, but guess what? It is.

I ordered Set 1 like I always do because it is the most value for money (to me). The set comes with a chicken drumstick, fried fish, otah and egg on top of coconut rice with cucumber and sambal.

Har Burger with Har Soup @ MOS Burger, Jem

In a blink of the eye, 2025 has already crept into August which happens to be Singapore's birthday month. 

To celebrate 60 years of independence, the various fast-food giants here have jumped on the chili crab bandwagon to launch their respective menu inspired by our iconic national dish. 

McDonald's has collaborated with JUMBO to create the chili crab sauce prawn burger while KFC and Long John Silver's have their versions of the chili crab mantou burger.

MOS Burger, on the other hand, launched the har burger instead. This creation is MOS Burger's take on the classic prawn noodle reimagined between two buns. 

"Har" means prawn in Cantonese so, this is actually a prawn burger. 

Lao San Prawn Noodles @ 279 Bukit Batok East Ave 3

I am back in the neighborhood of Bukit Batok East Point today, and the plan was to try the mee hoon kway from Gui Hua Ban Mian at Mei De Coffee Shop. 

Although there is only one customer in front of me, the lady cooking was taking such a long time that I grew impatient and decided to look elsewhere for alternatives.

Lao San Prawn Noodles from two stalls away happened to catch my attention with its photos of prawn noodles on the signboard. 

I promptly switched queue.

Aunty Noodle Shop - Signature Fried Meatball Noodle @ 273 Bukit Batok East Ave 4

Instead of Aunty Huang (黄阿姨) herself, it was a young lad running the show when I turn up at 黄阿姨面店, a noodle stall located inside Mei De Coffee Shop at 273 Bukit Batok East Ave 4.

I admit that it was the eye-catching signboard with its brilliant colors that caught my attention.

The stall serves noodle dishes such as "aunty special noodle", "Malaysia-style noodle", signature fried meatball noodle, laksa, fishball noodle, minced meat noodle, and dual egg & minced meat soup.

Ru Yi Yuan Vegetarian @ 273 Bukit Batok East Ave 4

I have long heard about the notoriety of the lady boss from Ru Yi Yuan Vegetarian at Bukit Batok East Point. 

Since I am checking out Mei De Coffee Shop in this area, I finally had the chance to try this stall at 273 Bukit Batok East Ave 4.

Well, do correct me if I am wrong but this Ru Yi Yuan is unrelated with the one at Margaret Drive Hawker Centre (previously from Tanglin Halt) and the one at Redhill.

Hello Western Food & Fried Chicken - Mee Siam, Lontong and Chicken Curry Puff @ 279 Bukit Batok East Ave 3

There are two Mei De Coffee Shops located in the neighborhood of Bukit Batok East Point. 

In the previous post, I went to the one at 273 Bukit Batok East Ave 4 while in this post, I visited the other one at 279 Bukit Batok East Ave 3.

Despite the addresses suggesting that they are some distances apart, both coffee shops are literally a stone's throw away from each other. 

I walked up to this western food stall named Hello Western Food & Fried Chicken to order their mee siam for breakfast.

Yes, you heard me right. 

I ordered a mee siam from the western food stall.
