The famous loose hair Bak kut Teh, Yakun breakfast will not write this, to Amway a little niche food

【 Brunch shop: Prive】
The street Brunch with beautiful scenery is especially fond of the ultimate big breakfast, which is really big and the portion is very large. Good environment, blow the wind, eat delicious food, too.

【 Specialty Bakery 】
Picture This one is located in ION Mall, next to Yakun. When I was waiting for Yakun, I walked in casually, and I didn't think it tasted super good.
Few people would recommend bakeries when writing about Singapore, but I feel that the bakeries here are really distinctive and can not be eaten in China, such as the curry-flavored salty bread that I love. So don't just buy gorgeous cakes!

【 Lixing Chaozhou fish ball 】
In the ION shopping mall inside the food court, customers shoulder to shoulder, very recommended!
This is absolutely authentic fish ball, super Q ball, each one is slippery, fish dumplings are super delicious. I have not been to Chaozhou in China, Chaozhou fish balls are so delicious!

【 Dessert Ice cream 】
Venchi and Lady M are famous, both in ION mall, delicious 😋 ~
In particular, we recommend a roadside ice cream, called Gelatissimo, located diagonally opposite ION! 💖
I bought it by accident, but I think it tastes better than Venchi! Super delicate, not too sweet, personal feeling Venchi is still too sweet ~
