West Co'z Cafe @ Yew Tee Point

0 comments
Located at Level 1 of Yew Tee Point @ Choa Chu Kang North 6. Yew Tee Point is very near the Yew Tee MRT. Where's Yew Tee? All the way towards the north-west area of Singapore, next to Choa Chu Kang. This place serves halal zhichar (煮炒).

Service was patchy, but earnest. Patience is welcomed.

Signature dish? Ok, let's try one

Ordered some mains to share. Food arrived fairly quickly.

Curry Fish Head @$20+
had to dig quite a bit to find the fish
stir fried kangkong @$9+
bittergourd omelette @$8+

Ordered all small portions for the dishes.

saucy dinner

The curry fish head sauce was thick, tasty, lemak and quite spicy. However, the fish was abit of a letdown as its flesh not as firm as anticipated.

The best dish, was actually the stir-fried kangkong. Thumbs up for this plate of well-fried vegetable.

Drinks prices varies between $1.50+ to $2.50+, and a plate of white rice goes for a dollar each.

Total cost was $60 inclusive of drinks, and enough food to feed 4 to 5 pax.

Old School Delights @ Upper Thomsom Road

Read about this place from a popular local magazine some months back, and we used to pass by it when we were seeking food nearby, so finally decided to drop in recently on a weekday night for dinner.

We ordered mee siam, laksa, nasi lemak and deep fried chicken wings. Top up $3 to get 1 drink (eg. barley, lime juice) and a small basket of fries.

For drinks I had iced lime tea. It looked like regular iced lemon tea due to its colour, but with lime taste. I think I still prefer iced lemon tea, thank you.

The place exudes old-schoolness in the utensils as well. Check out the container that holds the chopsticks and spoons.

I had mee siam, and it was pretty decent. Much sweeter than I expected, and not spicy at all! The ingredients were pretty simple, just taupok, tauhu and half an egg.

The fries arrived piping hot, and has curry powder sprinkled on it. Hmmm.. it was a curious taste. But I liked the tartar sauce dip. Goes well, with the fries.

The deep fried chicken winglets (about 6 small winglets per order) were nicely browned, juicy and tasty. Yummy and recommended.

In total, we spent $30+ for the meal and it was enough to feed all three of us, with no room for cakes.
