Chong Wen Ge cafe review
Hey guys, Kayden here! Have you ever wanted to visit a traditional Nyonya cafe but don’t know where to find it? You’re in luck today!
Nyonya Laksa $10.80
Sorry for the pictures that are not too nice but if you have been following me long enough, you know I don’t care about those nice insta-worthy shit here (Ice do care tho><), it’s all about the taste man. #sorrynotsorry
Anyway, back to the taste. This laksa is super good!!! It overthrew 328 katong laksa as the the first place in my heart :’) Even though the price is quite steep, you get 3 big prawns and even razor clams to compensate for it! It’s not a everyday eat but once in a while, this is definitely worth it!
However, do note that the prawns are not peeled so you have to peel yourself… Im super annoyed about this cus I don’t like to get my hands dirty ):
Nyonya Kueh $1.50 per piece / Ondeh Ondeh $0.80 per piece
Okay, this is not worth it in my mum’s opinion. Do note that my mum is a quite a pro in making kuehs and pastries. I tried it as well and we both felt that it didn’t taste “fresh” as it was relatively hard.. The one piece of kueh was just mushy inside and I felt grossed out after eating one mouth of it…
We also tried their signature Teh C special but turns out it wasn’t that special LOL.. Just add gula melaka inside a normal ice teh C nia
In conclusion, this place serves super good laksa, probably the best in Singapore so it’s worth it to come down and eat it once in a while. Other than that, the shop has a very traditional outlook and it is definitely insta-worthy!
Do note that it can get really crowded during weekday lunch hour so avoid that timing if you can!
That’s all for today, Kayden signing out. Peace
