Fei Zap Mai Laan (肥汁米蘭) @ Vivocity - Opens First Overseas Outlet in Singapore with Its Famous Hong Kong Rice Noodles

FËI ZAP MÂI LÄAN (肥汁米蘭), a well-known name for Hong Kong-style rice noodles, marks its first overseas venture with the opening of its 85th outlet at VivoCity. Originating in China, the brand is famous for its consistently long queues, with customers drawn to its nostalgic flavours and comforting bowls inspired by heritage recipes dating back over 60 years. The founder personally travelled to Hong Kong to learn the craft behind these recipes, and today, the same techniques are used to recreate the familiar flavours that many grew up with.

For those who prefer a straightforward choice, the Signature Bowls offer preset ingredient combinations carefully matched with each soup base, allowing diners to enjoy a well-balanced bowl without the hassle of customising from scratch.

The Mighty Four Bowl 4/5

The Mighty Four Bowl ($13.90) features a generous combination of fish roe balls, ham, wuxiang, and Fei Zap's house-made char siew, served with bean sprouts, coriander, and rice noodles. What stands out is the broth, which is thicker and richer than the usual clear soup. With savoury minced meat and a light smoky fragrance from the stir-fried zhajiang, the slow-simmered bone base delivers a smooth, collagen-rich texture that clings nicely to the noodles.

The Pickled Punch Beef Bowl 4.2/5

The Pickled Punch Beef Bowl ($15.90) is one of the most popular menu items. This bowl combines sliced beef, beef tendon balls, tau pok, and black fungus, finished with bean sprouts and coriander. Paired with the Pickled Punch Soup Base, the broth is bright and tangy with a gentle spicy kick, making it a refreshing option for those who enjoy bolder flavours.

The Supreme Twin Fish Bowl 3.8/5

Fish lovers will appreciate the Supreme Twin Fish Bowl ($16.90), which comes with both fried fish and sliced fish, along with black fungus, crabstick, radish, and bean sprouts. The broth is clean yet flavourful, allowing the fish's natural sweetness to come through. Light but satisfying, this is a good option for those looking for a nourishing and comforting bowl.

The Tomato Chop Bowl 4.2/5

Inspired by cha chaan teng classics, the Tomato Chop Bowl ($16.90) features a sunny side up egg, a specially marinated Hong Kong-style fried pork chop, vegetables, and diced tomatoes, served with macaroni. The tomato-based broth is gently tangy and sweet, and the crispy pork chop adds a hearty touch to this nostalgic, café-style dish.

Beyond the signature bowls, diners can customise their own combinations with over 30 different toppings, ranging from light vegetables to heartier meat options. Each topping is priced between S$0.99 and S$2.99, making it easy to tailor a bowl according to individual preferences.

Braised Wings 4/5

Curry Fishballs 3/5

Fried Wontons 3/5

To go along with the noodle bowls, a small selection of side dishes is available for sharing. The Braised Wings (S$4.90 for 3 pcs), Curry Fishballs (S$3.90 for 3 pcs), and Fried Wontons (S$5.90 for 5 pcs) make for easy add-ons to round out the meal. Among the three, the Braised Wings are the highlight, with tender meat that is well infused with the savoury marinade.

Mango Pomelo Sago 4/5

Red Bean Double-Skin Milk Pudding 4/5

For dessert, the Mango Pomelo Sago ($5.90) and Red Bean Double-Skin Milk Pudding ($4.30) provide a light, refreshing finish to the meal.

With its heritage-inspired recipes, comforting broths, and flexible customisation, FËI ZAP MÂI LÄAN offers a familiar yet satisfying noodle experience for those who enjoy Hong Kong-style rice noodles.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie @ Momentus Hotel Alexandra - Welcomes the Year of The Horse with a Scrumptious Buffet Spread of Over 30 Auspicious Dishes and Signature Roasts

For the upcoming Chinese New Year 2026, Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie at Momentus Hotel Alexandra welcomes the Year of the Horse with a celebration themed around bountiful harvest and new beginnings. A scrumptious buffet spread of over 30 auspicious dishes and signature roasts awaits, complemented by tableside service and live carving stations.

14-Day Shio Kombu Butter Aged Angus Ribeye 4.5/5

Taking centre stage at the Signature Roast Station is the 14-Day Shio Kombu Butter Aged Angus Ribeye. Fire-grilled over charcoal, each slice boasted a beautifully charred exterior that further amplified the beef’s naturally rich flavours.

‘Sha Pi’ Suckling Pig 4.5/5

Next to it is an impressive lineup of live carving roasts, including ‘Sha Pi’ Suckling Pig and Vanilla-Scented Crackling Pork Belly. It was a rare treat to enjoy such a well-executed suckling pig, available exclusively on Chinese New Year’s Eve and the first day of Chinese New Year.

Vanilla-Scented Crackling Pork Belly 5/5

Black Truffle “Phoenix” Chicken 4/5

The crackling pork belly satisfied with every crunch into its perfectly crisped skin layered over succulent meat. A definite crowd-pleaser is the Black Truffle “Phoenix” Chicken, which stands out for its lightly crisped skin and tender, juicy meat.

Dong Po Wagyu Beef Karubi 5/5

Fragrant Cured Meat ‘Lap Mei Fan’ 4.5/5

Available for takeaway, the Twice-Cooked Black Garlic Pork Belly Char Siew captivated with its glossy glaze and smoky charred edges, offering a richly flavoursome, melt-in-the-mouth bite. Other restaurant-quality takeaway offerings include the unctuous Dong Po Wagyu Beef Karubi, a dish I kept returning to and that lingered in my memory for days. It pairs exceptionally well with the umami-packed Fragrant Cured Meat ‘Lap Mei Fan’.

Cold Pork Trotter Jelly 4.5/5

Drunken Chicken 4.5/5

At the Seafood & Cold Appetisers Station, an interesting lineup of cold seafood with familiar flavours is showcased. Highlights for me were the Poached Tiger Prawns with ginger-scallion dip and the roulade of Drunken Chicken with aged Shaoxing wine and wolfberries. The Cold Pork Trotter Jelly was also snapped up quickly.

Longevity Noodles 4.5/5

An elevated classic is the Longevity Noodles with crab roe and trout caviar. While the sauce looked relatively rich at first glance, it turned out to be well-balanced, coating the noodles with savoury depth without overwhelming them.

Braised Eight-Head Abalone with Sea Cucumber 4/5

Golden Lava Cheese Baked Lobster 2.8/5

Tableside service includes Golden Lava Cheese Baked Lobster and Braised Eight-Head Abalone with Sea Cucumber. The lobster was slightly too mushy for my liking, though the abalone dish was nicely executed.

Yam Purée

The dessert spread leans wholesome and nostalgic. The most popular item was undoubtedly the Yam Purée with caramelised pumpkin, served alongside other Chinese New Year favourites such as Steamed Nian Gao, pineapple tarts, and green pea cookies.

The Chinese New Year 2026 buffet at Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie offers a well-rounded and generous festive spread. Other than the excellent signature roasts, the festive mains are well-executed with consideration.
