‌‌The Best Thing We Ate ⭐️

The Waffle Slaps

We spoke about The Waffle Slaps sometime last month when we dined at Suzie's Makan Place. Last week we finally were able to try it out!

Paige and I shared a Nutella and kaya pandan waffle. It didn't disappoint. Edges were nice and crispy, adding texture to each bite.

It is, however, probably not a combo we'd get again given the richness. Half of the waffle each was enough for us to each get enough of a taste. Next time we'll try the kaya and butter combo 🤩

What We Ate 🍴

Mr King Beef Noodles

During our second visit to Mr King Beef Noodles we tried a couple new dishes.

The first new dish was their dry noodle with soybean sauce and minced beef. Noodle width on this is fixed. The soybean sauce and slightly wide noodles eventually got a little too rich for our liking, so probably not something we'd order again.

Next, the lamb cutlets. These came with a couple condiments on the side to season to your liking. Thinking back, we prefer their lamb skewers over the cutlets.

Lastly, the beef burger. This is something I'd grab again. The savoury beef contrasted nicely against the slightly sweet bao.

Suzie's Makan Place

Redemption mee goreng! Can never go wrong.

Uncle 6 Nanyang Hawker

Wrapping up a week of eating, we have Uncle 6 Nanyang Hawker. This marked our second visit.

We've visited the restaurants previously ran by the owners of Uncle 6 Nanyang Hawker for the past decade. All of them pumped out consistent food, and Uncle 6 Nanyang Hawker is no exception. And all of them, have also been in the exact same spot.

The roast pork rice and ginger scallion steam chicken rice are reminiscent of what we used to have back when it was Sarawak Hawker / 2020 Street Eats.

The chicken was silky smooth. Personally I probably would've preferred the ginger scallion oil (A.K.A. crack sauce) served on the side, but that's personal preference.

Paige's pan mee serve was enough to last her two meals.

To date, Uncle 6 Nanyang Hawker serves up one of Paige and I's favourite iced teh tarik. I also had lots of fun composing more "macro" style photos.
