Ju Hao (Tiong Bahru Plaza)

I was at Tiong Bahru Plaza with my mother the other day looking for a good restaurant to have a spot of dinner when we spotted Ju Hao. Its menu looked somewhat similar to Din Tai Fung, so we thought we will give it a try.

Ju Hao was first established in Lavender Food Square in 2010. With a skilful team of Chinese chefs specializing in la mian and xiao long bao, Ju Hao quickly gained reputation and garnered good reviews from many food blogs.

Ju Hao (Tiong Bahru Plaza) - Juicy Steamed Pork Dumpling

This is Ju Hao's signature Juicy Steamed Pork Dumpling. I am really disappointed. I am quite certain that the xiao long bao has been made in advance and taking out to steam upon order, resulting in skin that is too dry at the top and breaks at the bottom. The meat filling inside is rather tasteless and the soup is probably the only thing that saves it from being a total disaster.

Ju Hao (Tiong Bahru Plaza) - Signature Noodle with Beef Brisket

Beef Brisket is one of my favourite food so I decided to have a bowl of Signature Noodle with Beef Brisket. The noodles are bouncy with a good bite, but they are a little too inform to be made by hand, I have a feeling they are machine-made. The beef briskets are totally ruined. The beef comes off in stripes and they are as hard as leather.

Ju Hao (Tiong Bahru Plaza) - Hot and Sour Noodle

Hot and Sour Noodle was equally as disappointing where the "la mian" is accompanied by a bowl of hot and sour sauce that is too salty. Don't ask me, I have no idea why a hot and sour noodle would become salty, but it tasted as if the chef mistook salt for vinegar and added it to the sauce.

If Ju Hao wanted to copy Din Tai Fung, it has definitely done a very poor job. I will go back to Din Tai Fung anytime for one of the best bowls of beef brisket noodles and it will be a very long time before I will dare to venture into Ju Hao again.

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.

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...
