YUN NANS Stonepot Fish - Premieres New Stonepot Chicken Soup Starring Exclusively Raised Kabir Chicken Breed

YUN NANS Stonepot Fish at Northpoint City is Singapore's first stonepot cooking concept specializing in high-pressure steaming method. Following the success of YUN NANS Stonepot Fish, the restaurant has recently launched a new addition - Stonepot Chicken Soup with Pig's Stomach, inspired by the brand's signature steam pot chicken soup.

Stonepot Chicken Soup with Pig’s Stomach 3.8/5

Stonepot Chicken Soup with Pig's Stomach (Regular $39.80/Large $68.80) uses a premium breed of chicken. The Kabir chicken is reared exclusively for the restaurant for no more than 120 days to reach the optimum weight of 1.4kg-1.5kg. This helps retain the original free-range chicken's natural sweetness and flavour. The meat is also prized for being more tender and leaner than regular chicken.

The chicken is then cooked under high pressure in the specially handcrafted granite stone pot with pig's stomach, highland white corn, Yunnan golden fungus, and a soup base. In just eight minutes, the soup is done. It had a slightly creamy body and tasted quite savoury from cooking down the Chinese Ham. However, I expected a richer consistency since it is meant to be collagen-rich broth.

Highland White Corn

One of the star ingredients here is the Highland White Corn. They are sweet, juicy and refreshing. Adding them to the soup brings a depth of sweetness.

Deep-fried Crispy Shrimp Heads 3.5/5

Yun Nans Stonepot Fish is the only outlet offering stonepot and hot dishes. There are some new Hot Dishes on the menu. One of which is a plate of snacky Deep-fried Crispy Shrimp Heads ($9.90). The shrimp heads are deep-fried in high heat and then tossed with a house-made spice mix featuring Yunnan Qiubei chilli.

Stir-Fried Chayote Leaves with Soy Bean Sauce 4.5/5

One of my favourite new dishes is the Stir-Fried Chayote Leaves with Soy Bean Sauce ($15.90), a home-style dish of the Dai minority. Stir-frying with Yunnan bean sauce, alongside some garlic and chilli, brought out its sweetness.

Signature Fried Rice 4/5

A good plate of fried rice is always hard to come by at times. YUN NANS Signature Fried Rice ($8.80), simply fried with eggs and flavoured with specially concocted three-blend soy sauce, was moreish and deeply satisfying.

Wild Porcini Mushrooms with Dried Chillies 4.5/5

Stir-Fried Wild Porcini Mushrooms with Dried Chillies ($27.90) was highly flavoursome with wild porcini mushrooms, handpicked from the highlands, flash fried with Yunnan dried chillies and solo garlic. I love the chewy texture of the mushrooms, which were garlicky with a hint of heat.

Stir-Fried Pork Collar with Scallions 3.8/5

Stir-Fried Pork Collar with Scallions ($17.90) was very delectable too, featuring tender slices of pork collar, flash-fried with light sauce, then tossed with scallion. The latter added sweetness to the dish and enlivened it with its mildly sharp and oniony flavour.

Noodle Star K @ Tanjong Pagar Road - Authentic Korean Cuisine With Signature Handmade Buckwheat Cold Noodles

I have wanted to visit Noodle Star K for the longest time for its naengmyeon (cold noodles), and I finally found time to visit the restaurant. The place is usually pretty crowded, so it is advisable to go slightly early, before lunch/dinner time.

Upon placing our orders, we are served three different Banchan - Kimchi, Beansprouts and Pickles. The serving is small but refillable. It even comes with a cup of beef soup.

Bibim Naengmyeon 4.5/5

I could not decide between the Chik Naengmyeon and Bibim Naengmyeon ($16.80). Ultimately, I decided to go for the latter since I am in the mood for spicy food. The buckwheat noodles tossed in a spicy gochujang-based sauce are refreshing and flavourful. It is a bowl of slurping goodness served in a chilled broth.

Mixed Mandu 4.2/5

To complete the meal, we ordered the Mixed Mandu ($11.80) to try both flavours. The mandu are huge and plump! Between the Gogi and Kimchi flavours, my favourite is the meat dumpling packed with juiciness.

Spicy Sliced Pork 4.2/5

Another signature dish on the menu is the Spicy Sliced Pork ($15.80). The thinly sliced pork is pan-fried until cooked through and caramelized for a delicious balance of spicy and sweet flavours. It is best to go with a bowl of rice.
