"Enjoy Eating House’s original location at Jalan Besar has rebranded to , and their menu is slightly different now. Canteen’s eponymous Canteen Rice ($4.80++) is deceptively simple in name, but it is the most sinful & heart stopping dish in Canteen’s lineup by a clear margin. Plain ol’ steamed white rice is sauced up with the same braising sauce that another of Canteen’s signature dish is braised in, and turned utterly sinful by adding fried pork lard cubes & a fried egg on top.⠀
⠀
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 cardiologist’s 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. There’s no way you can solo a bowl of Canteen Rice, so spread the heart attack with a friend or family member."

" 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 ‘most epic Hokkien Mee in Singapore’.⠀
⠀
While I can’t confirm that claim, I can confirm that it’s pretty high up there in the Hokkien Mee rankings. The wok hei here isn’t 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.⠀
⠀
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 aren’t 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 📸 by as usual.

"Let’s start with the star of the show - the White Pepper Crab. The crab was cooked to perfection, with a generous amount of fragrant white pepper sauce that had just the right amount of heat. Together with crispy fried mantou, each succulent bite was a burst of flavor that left me craving for more."

"Another one of signature dishes that fits in perfectly with their ‘Singapore of yesteryear’ theme is the Te Kah (Hokkien for pig trotter, $16.80++). A classic Chinese dish, the recipe is reportedly from head chef & owner Joel’s grandma, and he’s definitely made Grandma proud here with this bowl of tender trotters, braised tofu & half boiled egg.⠀
⠀
The pig trotters have been stewed till the meat has turned tremendously tender, and all the excess fat under the skin has been rendered out with the braising process. The low & slow braising has thoroughly injected every morsel of meat & gelatinous skin with the fragrance & umami of the soya sauce & spices used to braise the pig’s leg, and each bite is delectably delicious & eminently enjoyable. The braise is notably sweet, which is an oddity for braised pig’s trotters, but it is most definitely not a bad thing.⠀
⠀
The egg & jiggly tofu greatly benefitted from the sapid soy sauce mix, and I was sorely tempted to order a bowl of white rice just to fully appreciate that delicious braise with the tender trotters, slightly jammy egg & surprisingly soft tofu. Grandma would be pretty proud of this for sure.⠀"

"Good news for fans of as they have rebrand their Jalan Besar outlet name to ! However do not worry folks, their name might have change but the quality of food hasn’t!
🦀
Right of the bat, we were introduced to a slew of newer dishes and what caught my attention is their newest dish that involves crab - The White Pepper Crab! This consist of Chunks of crab meat wok-fried in Chef’s buttery and indulgent white pepper sauce. Sooo good folks! A bite of this and you can forget every perception of how crab should be cooked! Chef Joel also purposely included their thin crispy mantou which is good enough to eat it on its own but also works great as a dipped!
🐖
Other dishes which are new are the Char Siew. This consist of thick cuts of pork with their in-house char siew sauce, traditionally handcrafted for a perfect balanced caramelisation!
🐟
Last but not least, do try out their upsize Otah! Smoky grilled handmade mackerel otah served with a special “Ong” pineapple relish. Definitely a otah from the heavens!
👨🏼‍🍳
Overall anything that came from are always good! Usually heavy palettes but promises you bold and strong flavors which very much fit a local man or (boy?) Like myself who is typical an asean foodie who just love plain rice with anything that has gravy, broth and most important? Flavor!
🔻
So folks, it time to elevate your local tastebuds by indulging in legit local contemporary food courtesy of chef Joel from !"
