Yentafo Noodles - Thai yongtaufoo. You get to choose whether you want soup (only if you like sweet) or dry, and your type of noodles. Not my style.
Moo ping - a tad too sweet and needs more char. Otherwise decent.
Deep fried pork with garlic - pork itself not seasoned with garlic but comes with fried garlic bits. Good with beer.
Pad Thai - too wet for my liking but tastes good
Mango salad - yes please! The mango had some sweetness. Not overly spicy but tasted fresh and definitely better than most places .
Claypot prawn glass noodles - off-menu and a special. Special, it was.
Peanut is smunchy (smooth + crunchy) and is p thicc, the flowy smooth part sticks to ur teeth and can get a bit cloying. But pb was good! Nicely roasted, slightly salty which balances out the sweeter pancake. I like that itโs v crunchy, lots of large crunchy peanut bits.
Linguine with prawns in tomato cream sauce. The pasta was al dente and seems to be thinner than normal. The prawns were fresh. The sauce wasnt too sour or creamy. I would recommend this and prices are nett here!

An unassuming small shop space located in the Bukit Gombak neighborhood, Coconut & Fam serves coconut shakes that could easily compete with bigger brands and even taste better than some of them! For every new coconut shake brand, Iโd always give the original flavour a try for the very first time. Other than how value for money their coconut shakes are given the large was really larger than usual, the overall taste and texture were quite balanced. Creaminess was just right, and the coconut bits were generously added. You can also customise the sweetness level to your liking. They also provide 2 small tables in front of the shop space should you want to enjoy and chill over their coconut shakes.
Thanks to #burpplebeyond, we enjoyed 2 large coconut shakes at the price of just 1! Mindblowingly $5 for 2 large cups which meant that it was only $2.50 for such a quality drink! Found my new favourite coconut shake!
Indulge in the ambience of this glasshouse cafe. ๐

Popped-by the cloud kitchen for a bowl of chirashi don with loads of diced salmon, tuna, octopus, shrimp thatโs lightly torched, tossed with mentaiko sauce and topped off tobiko, ikura and spring onions. Lovingโ it. โฃ๏ธ

Though the food was not too bad, the long black isnโt to my liking. The initial taste was strong and bold however the aftertaste was a bit too acidic for me.
Linguine, fresh clams, white wine, garlic, chilli padi.
Was pleasantly surprised that the linguine was al dente and they did not over do it. Sauce was creamy, garlicky and could taste the white wine. Clams portion was not too bad however there were a few that were sandy.
Overall, it was a good plate of vongole linguine.
Don't understand estimate this humbling looking deep fry pork belly. It is crispy, gummy, flavourful for a appetizer especially to go with a glass of Singa Beer or goes with one of the dishes from this homey Thai kitchen which is specialized in Thai Street Food. They also serve awesome deep fry garlicky pork which is very good too.
We ordered the "Train" fry rice out of curiosity. The plate comes with 2 king size prawn, squid & some kai lan too. It resemble the Chinese Claypot Rice but without the susage & wax meat. Full of flavors & loaded with wok hei. Super tasty, every bite tastes heavenly, we just can't put down the spoon.
With history stretching back to 1945, this legendary stall was formerly at Hong Lim Food Centre, but relocated to the West in 2016 as the founder's 4th son took over the helm.
.
They're known for their Chinese Teochew pork dumplings, the slippery thin skin holding a juicy ball of minced pork with meaty sweet savoury flavour.
.
The gravy is intentionally strong, punchy with sour tangy salty spice flavour from the quality black vinegar, light soy sauce, and sambal chili paste.
.
The crunchy fried sole fish lends a fishy savoury salty contrast to the tender minced pork with sweet savoury flavour, and the succulent soy braised shiitake mushrooms with earthy salty vegetal flavour.
.
The soup is clear but rather light on taste. Not many come close to this BCM standard in the West, so expect queues of up to 30 minutes during peak periods as each bowl is prepared from scratch.

Location: 3.5/5
10-15 minutes walk from the nearest MRT station, otherwise bus should be available to the nearby bus stop.
Mains & Side Dish: 4/5
๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ถ & ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ($15.80)
Quite creamy but the cheese wasnโt very strong hence, lacking in flavour.
๐๐ฎ๐บ & ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ($19.80)
The online menu doesnโt do it any justice, actual food looks better than the online one. The pizza was not bad, flavourful and crust is thin as well.
๐ง๐ฟ๐๐ณ๐ณ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ($13.80)
Truffle comes from the truffle mayo itself but it felt like regular mayo with truffle flavouring, nonetheless, it tasted pretty good.
Drinks: 3/5
๐ ๐ถ๐น๐ธ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ ($10.50)
Canโt go wrong with milkshakes, but not worth the price paid. The size of the milkshake is smaller than the other drinks.
Overall: Might return since the food is actually not bad, but not on a weekend lunch since the food choices are pretty limited as the Mains are only available after 3pm on Weekends.
