There is no comparable hawker at the same price point or quality:

Barramundi on Romesco Sauce - $15.90 - large fresh slice of fish, crispy skin (eat quickly), healing pile of salad and more cous cous than I knew what to do with

Special - Tenderloin Steak Frites - $20.90 - tender, perfectly rare with a nice char, tasty chimmi churri sauce, well seasoned pile of slightly spicy fries. They'll even let you have it blue if you ask, which is rare.

Skillet Cookie - $7.90 - maybe the best dessert I've had at this price in recent years. Soft chewy cookies with criap crust, fudgy melt chocolate, generous scoop of store tub vanilla ice cream.

NGL, the beers are OK and the EDM trance soundtrack the kopitiam is playing kinda slaps. On a nice breezy night like tonight, life in Singapore is is pretty sweet with very decent food.

Is this the best western hawker? Maybe. At this price point - haven't seen anything come close. Quality is better than some of the more famous steak places, with much bigger servings and better execution.

Pretty decent meal, 2 pax, 2 drinks $30

Jiaozi (Soup filled, decent chew, tasty enough) , Rou Jia Mo (tender but underwhelming seasoning), beef noodles (surprisingly good, clear herbal broth, tender fall apart meat)

Didn't get to the biang biang mian, but will go again with friends from Shaanxi.

Damn, absolute unit of a meal for $14, too much for 2 not so hungry people. So much protein, lots of veg, chilli also fire. $11 beef pita with $3 added chicken.

Only downside is that queue can take 15-45 minutes. Went near closing time, ie 9 pm, queue was still 15 minutes.

Dabba street and Stuff'd can go bakar themselves.

Ice, 3.2% fat UHT milk, coffee shot, 1 scoop protein mix, 3g psyllum husk, 1g guar gum, 1g creatine, 5g monksfruit/allulose

Texture is milk shaky and oaty if a bit bland from the bulked up psyllum husk.

Wondering what additions I can make to it tastier and up the fibre - am allergic to raw bananas :( - open to suggestions.

I was thinking of adding sweet potato or chickpeas, using a chocolate protein powder instead of vanilla.

Think my yeast is going - or needs a longer cycle. But now I have a dead loaf I'm not going to eat.

Putting it in the fridge, will air fryer and attempt to make kvass with it.

Looking for tips on

1. How to make kvass

2. What else you do with dead loafs

Stock made with beef shoulder, tendon. Sliced flank. Added pork balls and fishcake because well, we're at home.

Second go at the fermented rice ie ta peh 米酿 米老 with exotic flavours, after the first one went fairly well.

Now waiting for Tempe starter and koji starter to show up - would love to Swop starters.

I find that Singapore heat and humidity mean that we have to be a lot sharper with fermenting times/hygiene/ratios because everything grows like crazy in Singapore weather and humidity - would love to swop tips and ask about your experience with koji etc.

2 duck, sio bak rice, single serving of char siew, free peanut pork soup, and 2 bah long long juice , $30. Ate until burst.

Comes with a choice of rice (chicken rice or white rice), dang gui duck sauce for the rice on the side and a very tasty free soup that changes daily. We had peanut and pork bone.

Charsiew was standout. Close to the old Kay Lee standard. Sio bak was crunchy and tender, duck was tender with no gamy smell. Probably my top roast meat stall atm.

Worth a trip out. Google maps underrated it.

Family has been eating here for 40 years.

Order the dumpling soup, extra veg and extra tau Kee crispy bits.

Thank me later.

One of the Top 3 Lei Cha.

My other 2:

Grandma's Lei Cha, Bukit Merah View hawker center, correction: Lei popo

Love U, Fusionopolis B1

Where are your go to Lei Cha's?

Jk, just air fryered salmon with a lemon butter shallot sauce and cai.

Seriously though, Sheng siong is amazing value. We got a whole, chilled, 2.7kg salmon for $38, cleaned and filleted. Head cut nicely into 2, bones in another bag, got 8 of these fillets that will feed quite a lot of people. Think offer ends today, we bought one yesterday, asked a lady buying it about the salmon, then everyone around us bought one and all 6 remaining then it sold out around 5 pm.

Anyone got recommendations for what other fish to buy at Sheng Siong?
