My friend brought me there to try their Hokkien Mee and honestly, I seldom order Hokkien Mee because it’s not easy to find one that really satisfies me. But this time, I can say this is a go-to place for Hokkien Mee! 👍 The noodles were fried nicely with a good wok hei aroma and the broth used as the gravy was flavourful without being too overwhelming. The prawns were fresh and a decent amount of pork lard was provided to add that extra fragrance to the dish. Definitely a thumbs up for this! 👍👍 One piece of advice though — better to dine in than take away. Even though they separate the gravy from the noodles for takeaway, I still feel the noodles taste much better when enjoyed freshly served. Overall, a really satisfying plate of Hokkien Mee and one I would definitely return for!

If you’re a Hokkien Mee lover, this one is worth trying! Tried their Kaya Toast and Hokkien Mee at Balestier and the first thing that caught my attention was the portion - the Hokkien Mee is LEGIT MASSIVE! Definitely enough for 2 pax to share, with generous noodles, seafoods, and a satisfying wok-hei touch to it! The Kaya Toast was a nice classic, crispy toasts with a generous layer of kaya and butter. Just be prepared for a bit of a queue, especially during weekends, as their outlet is quite small with limited seating.

Super tasty hokkien mee. Prawns sweet, pork lard crispy with right amount of gravy. One of the most balanced yuan yang c siu dai I’ve tried so far. Grateful for such a satisfying meal~ Eyeing the overflowing toast n crunchy chicken wings for next visit!

We enjoyed everything we ordered. Kaya toast - cream, rich, still slightly too sweet for me, but it paired well with my Teh C Kosong. Hokkien mee - wet and saucy, just the way we like it. Overloaded with roasted pork. A little lacking on wok hey, but still considered pretty good. Prawn paste chicken - lovely batter, crunch without being too oily. Taste of prawn paste m was fair and balanced. Price is very reasonable too!

Finally made my way to Bao Er Café at Balestier Plaza after hearing so much about it, and I can honestly say the kaya toast lived up to the hype. The first thing that stood out was how generous they were with the kaya. Every bite was packed with it, and it literally oozed out from the toast. The kaya itself had a rich, creamy texture with a wonderful pandan fragrance that wasn’t overly sweet. What impressed me even more was the toast. It was toasted to perfection—thin, light and incredibly crispy. Even after it had cooled down, it stayed crisp, something that’s surprisingly hard to achieve. The contrast between the crunchy toast and the smooth kaya made every bite so satisfying. I have to mention that it is way much better than the established chains. I really enjoyed Bao Er’s kaya toast. The combination of the generous kaya, the perfectly toasted bread and the overall quality made it one of the best kaya toasts I have had. Definitely worth the trip if you’re a kaya toast lover.
