Mak's Noodles

Mak's Noodle originated from Hong Kong in 1968, specializing in wanton noodles that even the President of the Republic of China Chiang Kai-Shek has tried. It is claimed that the recipe has remained unchanged, passed down from generation to generation. 

 
I have visited both The Centrepoint and Westgate outlets and put together a post so that you know what to expect from this Michelin-starred restaurant. 
 

 

I like the design of Centrepoint's menu which takes on the shape of a bowl. The menu is decided into three main sections, Tossed Noodles, Soup Dishes, Congee and Sides. Unfortunately, the Centrepoint outlet does not offer congee. 
 
 
Condiments include soy sauce, red vinegar, red chilli sauce, pepper and cut green chilli. 
 
 
Wonton Noodle Soup is the restaurant's signature dish which can be found at both outlets. Don't be surprised by the small potions, the noodles are intentionally served in small portions to prevent sogginess and emphasize quality over quantity. The flavorful broth is made with pork bones, dried flounder and powdered shrimp boiled over long hours. The noodles are crispy but I personally feel that the yeast taste is too strong. Fret not, just add some red vinegar and it will be alright. Fresh shrimp is wrapped in silky wanton skin, every bite gives you a satisfying crunch. 

 

 
Tossed Noodle with Wanton Dumpling & Oyster Sauce is the dry version of Wanton Noodle Soup. 
 
 
Mak's An Congee is their signature congee. Silky-smooth congee is loaded with mushrooms, pork liver and tender lean pork, served with freshly-chopped spring onions and ginger. I like that it is 
not overly-salty. 
 
 
Beef Brisket & Beef Tendon is one of the Side Dishes yet it's more expensive than the main dishes, but for good reason. Look at that thick gravy, a result of long hours of braising. The beef briskets are rather hard, but the beef tendon are so soft they literally melt in the mouth. Pair this with a bowl of congee and you have a light meal perfect for breakfast or dinner. 
 
The prices are relatively cheap but the portions are rather small so there is a tendency to overorder. Given that it is a Michelin-starred restaurant, the prices are within reasonable range. Although certain alteration has been made to suit Singaporean taste, Mak's Noodles delivers authentic Hong Kong taste. 
 
Although The Centrepoint outlet is Mak's Noodle first outlet in Singapore, I would suggest you visit the Westgate outlet for more variety.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
