SO good so cheap, and (hopefully you can still get this) you could get a drink combo with your dinner and I'd always hit the almond milk and the pork ribs.

Like commenters above, you need to try the spicy spare ribs. I don't know if they still have it now, but they used to have a section where you could build your own noodle soup, choose your own ingredients and your own soup base. Amazing. I got that 99% of the time.

I know in the States I just 100% don't eat fish and chips and don't order espresso as I am always horribly disappointed compared to what is available in Australia. Hard though when you crave it, as you must with SG/Malaysian food - you are willing to give local versions a try, but it often leads to disappointment.Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-36364225209977281752012-05-17T13:33:06.353+10:002012-05-17T13:33:06.353+10:00Make West Best, you always give me great tips and ...Make West Best, you always give me great tips and this is another goodie.

But will have to admit the way HK has tweaked their cuisine into Western baked spaghetti & baked rice is Also rather odd, but the HK breakfast of toast n butter sounds great. Koreans also have this unusual hot pot that contains sausages in it. Shows that there is indeed much borrowing of styles in between cultures indeed. I'm trying to be less 'nazi' w Malaysian food in Melb, but it's hard. ;)Bryanhttp://fatboo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-86496027746392783762012-05-17T11:22:23.158+10:002012-05-17T11:22:23.158+10:00You haven't tried their hallmark dishes yet.

Any time you go there (or their other branch opp QV on Swanston St - next to Don Don), you'll find at least 10 patrons enjoying the former dish and that too for under $10.Make West Bestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-32984182929186970602012-05-17T09:49:22.197+10:002012-05-17T09:49:22.197+10:00Thank you! :D Good old Nam Loong!

Haha. Believe it or not, there are quite a few hawker centres and food courts in Singapore that have a Western Food stall, selling pork/chicken chops with chips, a fried egg and a splodge of Baked beans ... the quality of the meat is pretty woeful ... but I used to hanker for those crinkle cut chips when I was young. Western food was exotic for us, don't forget!Temasekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14200526730444111994noreply@blogger.com
