Cowan Street Ayam Tauge & Koitiao

This is the tauge chicken i would give a shoutout for. Best bean sprout chicken and flat rice noodles. It tastes fabulous and scrumptious! Till now i’m still craving for it. Their flat rice noodles was so smooth and the soup was really da bomb! Tauge chicken was really delectable especially pairing up with the rice noodles. 

Loke Wooi Kee Cafe

The caramel egg custard is smooth and nice but a lil too sweet for my liking. The caramel in the creme caramel had a delicate bitter hint.
