Enaq Prata at Jurong - prata with more backbone than my middle manager

This isn’t the typical oily, doughy “sleepy” prata that we get from void deck coffeeshops. Enaq's prata has an extreme crunch that gives me the same satisfaction as stepping on dry leaves while walking my toddlers.

The exterior is a golden crispy fried dough, while the inside remains pillowy and soft. It’s almost like a croissant and a prata had a beautiful, buttery baby. And I absolutely love the ikan bilis sambal. I always dunk the prata into curry before scooping some sambal onto it. Perfection.

Enaq is one of the reasons why I can believe the central thesis of that Go West song - everytime I eat this prata I do feel like life is better!

Btw here's a tip - always order plaster, because the prata will always come hot!

Zhi Xiang Special lor mee (TPY) - Honest, decadent breakfast

It's getting tougher to find good lor mee nowadays - many of their gravies are a bit watered down, almost like tea sometimes.

But Zhi Xiang's gravy is not one of those - the gravy is so clingy the noodles is trying to get a personal protection order from it lol.

But the highlight for me is the crispy fried yam balls. They are only included when you order the bigger portions, but they're super worth it because they add a nice salty crunch to the lor mee. Everytime I eat this decadent breakfast I want to cancel all my afternoon meetings and just lean into the food coma!

You can find them at Blk 93 Lor 4 Toa Payoh, #01-49 :)

Yuan Cheng Fried Carrot Cake at Telok Blangah. Once you go black...

The only thing darker than my sense of humour is my preference for chai tow kway.

If you're team white, sorry but I think you're wrong. IMO black is always > white, and Yuan Cheng serves up a good plate with the right amount of sweetness and smokiness. I especially like that the carrot cake were cut irregularly, which makes every mouthful an interesting mix of soft carrot cake and slightly crispy edges/bits. They're super generous with the egg and chai po as well.

Messy, unapologetic breakfast for the soul!

Yunos N Family mee rebus - gravy so rich it needs its own financial advisor!

Some mee rebus looks like diluted tea, but I definitely can't say that about the mee rebus at Yunos N Family in Ang Mo Kio. The gravy here is so rich it should probably have its own financial advisor!

This to me is a liquid hug. The sauce balances savory and sweet, and clings to every strand of yellow mee like it’s found its soulmate. But the real game-changer? The toppings. There's chicken, satay or begedil. And on days where you need it - get all three.

It’s honest, it’s decadent, and it’s always been my go-to when I crave mee rebus!
