I had mentioned previously about trying their fried lemon chicken thinking that their's was probably like any other lemon chicken rice, with a lemon-y syrup/sauce drizzled over the breaded deep fried meat. There wasn't any of that. It was just fried chicken. Since I got this in the early part of the day, it was still pleasantly crispy. And yes, I added 白鸡尾 and a hard boiled egg to that.
Authenticity seems more a matter of ranges and limitations than of outright prescriptions. - Jeffrey Steingarten, The Man Who Ate Everything

The Jolly Spaghetti from Jollibee
We've had fried chicken from Jollibee numerous times but have never ordered their Jolly Spaghetti because it never looked appealing to me. I've also heard comments about how it was sweet and that didn't help endear them to me. For some reasons, we ordered and tried recently and it didn't taste half as bad as I had imagined. There was a light beefy flavour to the slight sweet sauce and the noodles weren't as soggy as I thought they might have been.

Food from Don Don Donki
Bought food from Don Don Donki recently. We've seen them every time we were there and have been tempted almost every single time. Most of the time, we just walk away. Not this time.
This packed sukiyaki gyudon was actually tasty. It wasn't excessively sweet as I imagined and those thinly sliced beef had sufficient fat for that beefy flavour. Will definitely get this again.
These beans were quite nice. Lots of crushed sesame in it.
Have previously mentioned their aburi-ed kanikama.
These cream filled rolls below were much talked about in the local social media group for Don Don Donki. Because of what killed the cat, we bought one to try. Not bad. Pretty light. The cream wasn't as milky flavoured or sweet so the former is room for improvement and the latter is a good thing. Don't thaw these completely from the the freezer so that there's still some frozen parts of the cream for the "crunch".

Sambal prawn fried rice from Chef Wang Fried rice
The queue at Chef Wang Fried Rice (王厨) hasn't abated. On an off peak hour during the weekday, in and out was still 30 minutes. Tried their sambal prawn fried rice this time. It's edible. Not much heat nor aroma to the sambal which was a little disappointing. What added to the disappointment was that I had to pay additional 50 cents for the sambal. Not worth that 50 cents. Wouldn't bother again even if it was free of charge.
Today's regular fried rice tasted different (opined from another box of pork rib fried rice). No longer getting the Din Tai Fung feel from the flavour. Which was kinda strange because the first time I had it, Din Tai Fung was the first thing that came to mind. If this was the first time I was having Chef Wang's, I wouldn't have even put them together in the same sentence as Din Tai Fung. I gotta stop talking about Din Tai Fung. So erm, I don't think I would rank today's above Wok Hey's even.

Takeaway seafood congee from Reimondo
There's an ex convict to millionaire to hawker tale behind the proprietor of this stall (#02-07 Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre, 110 Pasir Ris Central). Anyways, they were written about recently for their seafood porridge which was suppose to be good. It's a not bad congee with seafood flavour (mostly smokiness from the bits of smoked salmon I believe) but it's just that. Not bad.
Heard of mention of prawn head infused oil but the flavours from the congee didn't taste as complex as all the ingredients might have suggested. Also not feeling the wok hei people are saying. There're small clams, a couple of scallops, a crab stick, a couple of prawns and some nice soggy you tiao inside. If we're talking about creaminess in texture, Mun Zuk did it better.

Mrs Reuben with egg in rainbow bagel from Two Men Bagel House
There's a rainbow bagel for Pride month in June from our neighbourhood friendly bagel folks. Here's Mrs Reuben serenaded into one. Plus an egg. My first repeat order from TMBH. Also my first rainbow bagel. New achievements accomplished. Dill pickles and spicy dressing responsibly cutting through the meatiness from the beef and richness from the egg and cheese. Smell the rest of the bagels here (一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 九 十 十一 十二 十三 十四 十五).
