I'm gonna say it, the bee hoon from Jia Ji Mai Shi is not great.

Black Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen Premium Special from Keisuke's Tonkotsu King
I didn't realize that Keisuke's Tonkotsu King has a Tonkotsu Ramen Premium Special which was an upgrade from their regular "special" bowl with a pork rib. This bowl's nicely done, much like a tonkotsu-ized bak kut teh with tender meat on said rib that easily slid off the bone. I like this better than their attempt at bak kut teh ramen but I don't think I'll get it again.
That wasabi ginger ale doesn't have any wasabi flavour at all. I'd take the spicy ginger ale from Marks & Spencers over this any day.

Mushroom burgers and star potatoes from McD
Some recent burgers from McD. The left was the Creamy Mushroom Triple Cheeseburger and the one on the middle was the Creamy Mushroom Double Deluxe. We kinda got confused thinking that the triple would be bigger than the double but that Double Deluxe had bigger patties. Obviously, we had overlooked the "deluxe" in the name.
Think of them as the quarter pounder versions. The ingredients were pretty much the same except for sesame seed buns and larger patties which also appeared to be more moist. Those star potatoes were star shaped hash browns.

Black sesame cheesecake from Queic
Back at Queic. Pleasantly surprised at how light their black sesame cheesecake was. Black sesame flavour's pretty robust.

Ah Qing Traditional Lor Mee (阿慶古早味滷面), Smith Street Food Centre
So we succumbed to curiosity and tried Ah Qing Traditional Lor Mee (Red Zone, #02-094 Chinatown Complex Market and Food Centre, 335 Smith Street) because of the queues we've noticed about their stall. They're just next door to Jiakali.
This was the bowl with fried fish and fried chicken. Not a fan of how both fried meats were processed into small bits that they were textually similar, robbed of any intrinsic mouthfeel. That and the measly amount of protein for a $6 bowl. It was otherwise not bad once the sliced chilli, minced garlic and vinegar came into play.

Meatballs from the Norddeutsche Spezialitäten menu and some vegetarian rosti at Brotzeit
Back at Brotzeit. We wanted to get some of those beef meatballs with creamy caper sauce from their Norddeutsche Spezialitäten menu that we noticed the last time.
Meatballs were of coarse grind and meaty tasting with a good beefy flavour that's layered with tanginess from that delicious caper sauce. 👍🏼 Love the potatoes too.
Enjoyed the rosti from the vegetarian section of the menu - topped with olives, spinach, some feta crumbs, a fried egg and cherry tomatoes. Liked this more than we thought we would.
