Yes, it's that same Eddy's which has shifted from the previous location to the current space (#02-13 Hong Lim Food Centre, 531A Upper Cross Street). Their duck confit was mentioned often so I thought I'd give it a go. Meat's tender, nicely browned and pretty decent tasting with that brown sauce. Not as salty as I had imagined. I thought I tasted rosemary. That aglio olio it was resting on was garlicky with a nice bit of heat.
Authenticity seems more a matter of ranges and limitations than of outright prescriptions. - Jeffrey Steingarten, The Man Who Ate Everything

Dong Dong Hainanese Chicken Rice (東東海南雞飯), People's Park Food Centre
Came across Dong Dong Hainanese Chicken Rice (#01-1110 People’s Park Food Centre, 32 New Market Road) in a recent trip to People's Park. They're apparently a small chain run by the group with brands like Koo Kee Yong Tow Foo and Steamed Society/Gourmet under their umbrella.
There's a pretty distinctive sesame oil flavour in their saucing for the chicken. Bird was slurp off the bone tender. Rice was a little light on the salt which meant that it's easier pairing with their garlicky lime-y chilli. I thought the pandan-y cabbage/chicken soup was pleasant. Don't mind coming back.

Kian Meng Kway Chap • Pig's Organ Soup (健民), Commonwealth Crescent Food Centre
We've noticed Kian Meng Kway Chap (#02-097 Commonwealth Crescent Food Centre, 31 Commonwealth Crescent) in our visits to Commonwealth Crescent and have been wanting to try them for a while. Finally happened.
We had a plate with pig's skin, intestines, stomach, tongue, tau kwa and eggs - meat and offal were pretty tender and well infused with the flavour of the braising sauce. Broth leaned towards a slightly more herbal flavour. Nicely done here. Will come back.

Chicken rice from Shun Feng Roasted Delights (顺沣港式烧腊)
That's chicken rice with char siew. 😬 Not bad tasting per se and nice lime-y garlicky chilli. The one I prefer and think is better in this vicinity is still Fu Xiang Chicken Rice.

Five Guys, ION Orchard
Haven't had Five Guys in quite a while. This was our first time at the ION branch (B3-24/25/26 ION Orchard, 2 Orchard Turn). Seems like one can make their burgers a meal these days. See that? They're finally assimilating. Just remember that it starts from $25.50 and doesn't necessary cost just $25.50. I had to top up for the shake.
The small portions of fries are still large. Not complaining here. They oversalted today.
So I found out you can ask for hot sauce from them on the side. Now I know what else is good with the fries.
Banana and bacon shake was too sweet. I wonder if it's just this time. Also not tasting the bacon oils anymore, just the bacon bits.

Egg prata from Prata Galaxy
First time having prata at Prata Galaxy. Got a couple of telur. Pretty decent tasting and old school-ish style. It wasn't neither fancy nor excessively oily - attributes that I appreciated.
Fish curry was tamarind forward but not getting much/any fish flavour in there. Mutton curry's creamy and thick but not exactly infused with lamb-y flavour. That being said, they aren't deal breakers. Don't mind getting prata here if I'm in the area.
