The double double double Egg McMuffin and Samyang buldak hot sauce

Another zhng up the muffin with hot sauce for breakfast. I tried something similar previously with the Sausage Egg McMuffin.

This time round, it's the Egg McMuffin. All the add ons are kinda expensive.

Using the black bottle Samyang sauce this time.

Looks good already. And hell yeah it was satisfying. I kinda knew what to expect from the last round. Spikes of salt and heat that I was looking forward to.

Samyang's hot sauce is definitely the a way to go to elevate that breakfast muffin.

Between Ramen Dining Keisuke Tokyo's Jiro style ramen and Brothers Ramen's megamen......

I'm gonna go with Brothers Ramen's megamen. Especially that dry megamen. This Jiro style bowl bowl didn't even live up itself not a couple years back. Something has changed. I said I liked the megamen a bit more then. Now I think I prefer the megamen quite a bit more.

While I wouldn't claim that the bowl as fallen into the realm of mediocrity, it just didn't taste as satisfying as the first time I had it.

What was outright disappointing was the charshu which I left mostly untouched because it was dry and hard. This was just no good. I expected better out of this.

Re-revisiting A2B Veg Restaurant

A2B Veg Restaurant has renovated their interior. The shop used to have almost half their space for the display of sweets/confectionary with the rest of the area used as seating for the restaurant. The place is now mostly dine in seating. 

Under the breakfast section of the menu, one can get their ghee pongal with a vada. Both of which happens to be carb-y and tasty.

Some hot sweet badam milk keeps the soul warm in a chilly morning. 

Masala poori - came with curried potatoes instead of chana masala. Pretty decent fried bread.

Nicely browned tomato onion uttapam which was great with their chutneys.

There's so many variations on the menu. We need to come back here more often. 

Negi shio rosu katsu with soft boiled egg teishoku from Katsu An

I was half hoping that negi shio rosu katsu from Katsu An would feature Japanese negi. Half because the other half kinda already expected local spring onions. The other half was right. I wasn't disappointed though. 😏

Because this wasn't half bad - those chopped spring onions paired pretty well together with the mustard, layering a sharp savoury saltiness on the fried pork. Pity the cheese sauce katsu isn't available on the menu anymore.

Dan Lao, Kopitiam @ Changi Airport Terminal 3

Dan Lao was started by some folks that used to be chefs at Eggslut. Tried their scrambled egg rice with luncheon meat at the food court in T3 (B2-03 Terminal 3 Singapore Changi Airport, 65 Airport Boulevard). Not impressed by those eggs. Visually, it's kinda obvious that they're loose and a little watery with appearances similar to curdled milk. They also didn't taste particularly eggy. Generous with the portion of luncheon meat though.
