Personally, I thought it was a great meal overall. Loved the bak chor mee &#8211; 10\/10 would have again, and will defo be back to try the chilli crab next time! WE LOVED: &#8211; LAKSA was lovely imo! It wasn\u2019t too spicy despite looking so. The broth was creamy and rich, and quite coconutty which I love because I love anything coconut. The mouse tail noodles were a great texture and there were lots of prawns and tofu in the bowl. Strong comfort food vibes. &#8211; BAK CHOR MEE. A dish I\u2019ve never had before and I\u2019m sad I only just discovered it!! The sauce was full of flavour and the noodle texture was perfect. Again, I love a bowl full of toppings and this was our fave dish of the meal. &#8211; CUTTLEFISH YOUTIAO. I loved the crunchiness of these. Similar to a prawn toast but instead of bread it\u2019s fried dough sticks (youtiao) filled with cuttlefish. Defo try it if you\u2019re visiting. &#8211; CHILLI CRAB BAOS. As we weren\u2019t in the mood to tackle a whole chilli crab, we opted for these little buns and they were really nice! Lightly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Probably could\u2019ve done with a little more filling but flavour-wise it was delicious. &#8211; CEREAL KILLER PRAWNS. Never had prawns coated in cereal before and I gotta say it works! The only thing I will say that it\u2019s a bit on the drier side so best paired with a soupy or saucy dish. DIDN\u2019T LOVE AS MUCH: Cuttlefish skewers (not mentioned in video as I ran out of time) but thought it was quite meh. Defo get the youtiao version instead! OTHER NOTES: We only tried on of their kuehs (traditional Singaporean dessert as we were SO FULL). I love all things chewy and pandan so you love mochi, definitely order a kueh to finish your meal.  There were loads of drinks on the menu too. I got the milo dinosaur but would\u2019ve also gotten the coconut shake as that also sounded really nice.
