Adel's Famous Halal Food
(Food Truck)
Recommended by Joshua 
Long queues if you don't get there early!
Touted as 10 times better than Halal Guys (post covid, apparently Halal Guys standards seems to have fallen since). 
Ordered On:

Mixed Meat, Chili rice with sauce at the side
Excellent pile of meat! Its got it all. Carbs coming in tasty rice and pita bread. The serving could use a little more fresh vegetables, but for the portion you get its well worth it! Go for the juicy lamb meats over the dryer chicken. Well worth and very filling. Feeds either, very well one person, or 1.5persons.

Go for the juicier lamb option. The chili rice isn't spicy at all. The alternative is the yellow rice. Pro tip is to have the sauce separate, so that way you get a much more generous supply of delectable white sauce and can modulate the amount of much spicier chili sauce than that at the Halal Guys. Well worth and a go to, for a super value and delicious meal.Queues may look long but processes pretty fast. Took us about 15mins to 20mins wait time.
 
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream
post dinner sweet treat.
 
Ordered On

Best out of the bunch was Affogato Ice Cream
Coconut Rum, Sake yuzu (tasted more like Yakut) had more of the flavour than alcohol.
Chai tea something was pretty good.
Approximately USD6.20 per pax
Ice-cream overall was thick and creamy, but their flavor combination for most of our picks were a total miss. Probably not to our flavor profile but the Affogato Ice Cream was the best pick!

 Best Bagel & Coffee
(Recommended by Vic)
There's no doubt to why they call themselves the best bagel and coffee joint!
Displays are nice and bright, ordering ain't rushed and there's seating places! This is in comparison to, Leo's Bagel, though highly rated but the experience was completely different.

USD4.89

Salmon special about USD14++

Ordering may seem a little daunting at first with not much pricing clearly listed. Just select your bagel, cream cheese of choice and add-ons if any. They'll ring up the price before purchase. Alternatively you could go for one of their loaded specials. Our orders ranged  from about USD5 to USD15 for the bagel combinations. (Basic bagel and cream cheese, with add-ons and specials)

Their bagels are very good, especially after a light toast. Their cream cheese have their distinct flavors as do their delectable bagels. Highly recommended for a positive bagel experience over Leo's Bagel. 
 
E.A.K Ramen and Izakaya
(Recommended by Naveen)

Iekei (which sounds like E.A.K) Ramen is defined by a few characteristics. The style features rich pork and chicken bone soup, flavoured with shoyu tare and schmaltz. Unlike a standard Tokyo shoyu or Kyushu tonkotsu, the noodles are thick, flat, short, slightly wavy, and yellow.

E.A.K Ramen
An Extra USD2 which is a little pricey but worth. The curing is a little on the sweeter side but pairs very well with the dish as a whole. A classic pairing.
Feb 1 at USD20.69

Great broth that's not too heavy. In my opinion could be bolder in flavors but that's how they do it here. The thick cut noodle ramen is more like aldante fresh spaghetti and its beautifully coated with the broth. Cha Siew is a little on the thin side and doesn't carry with it a classic char or smoky flavor to it. Still an excellent bowl of ramen that's worth coming back for.
ABBATip:
- If ordering Karaage 'side'. Its more of a ful individual dining option than an add on dish.
