"Enjoy Eating Houseās original location at Jalan Besar has rebranded to , and their menu is slightly different now. Canteenās eponymous Canteen Rice ($4.80++) is deceptively simple in name, but it is the most sinful & heart stopping dish in Canteenās lineup by a clear margin. Plain olā steamed white rice is sauced up with the same braising sauce that another of Canteenās signature dish is braised in, and turned utterly sinful by adding fried pork lard cubes & a fried egg on top.ā
ā
Canteen has masterfully deep fried the lard cubes, rendering most of the fat out & leaving behind a cube of crisp, airy gluttonous goodness. Tack on the savoury & slightly sweet soya sauce based braising sauce and the oozy fried egg, along with lashes of dark soya sauce, and you have a cardiologistās worst nightmare in a bowl. Oh it tastes so good to be bad, my greed was screaming yes while my heart was screaming for mercy. Thereās no way you can solo a bowl of Canteen Rice, so spread the heart attack with a friend or family member."

Thank you for the šø and review!

" are starch savants, as both of the carb dishes we sampled were our favourites of the meal. The Canteen Rice was a sinful but sensational starch source, and this Hokkien Mee ($15.80 for the small) was less hedonistic but no less fantastic. It comes in strong tooting its own horn, proclaiming itself as the āmost epic Hokkien Mee in Singaporeā.ā
ā
While I canāt confirm that claim, I can confirm that itās pretty high up there in the Hokkien Mee rankings. The wok hei here isnāt particularly pronounced, allowing the broth the noodles are cooked in to take centrestage with good reason. The broth is stunningly sapid, and if I had to guess, I would say that Canteen has incorporated some pork bone broth into the prawn broth, as the broth is exceptionally flavourful & weighty.ā
ā
The breathtaking broth amply flavours all the other elements of the dish, and even the abundance of ingredients that Canteen has thrown into the mix arenāt enough to dampen the deliciousness of the broth. The prawns were pretty fresh & plump, while the squid was equally fresh & delightfully snappy. The usual recipes for Hokkien Mee call for sliced pork shoulder, but Canteen ups the ante with the inclusion of roast pork belly. The roast pork belly adds a little extra savouriness & fat to the plate of noodles, but unfortunately the delicious broth had softened the crispy skin. Still damn delicious though."

Great review and šø by as usual.
