❇️ Lim Chee Guan is the trusted bak kwa seller I go to if I want to buy Bak kwa. They also sell Beef Bak Kwa, which is my favourite. 🟧 Pics show you the Lim Chee Guan Bak Kwa we had eaten over several years.

My first time experiencing Lim Chee Guan is at their store in Orchard, Singapore. And I ordered some of their beef to enjoy it three days later when I go back to my country and the beef still good. The beef is delicious, soft and tasty. Sometimes you have to patiently wait for your turn to order at their store because the queue line is long, but worth the wait.

Love the bak kwa from Lim Chee Guan. The taste is flavourful and consistent all year round, and without that porky taste. While bak kwa is primarily done with pork, I like the wide variety of meats available here too, like fish, prawn, and beef. The staff is friendly and efficient. They pack the meat in an airtight bag, which is great when you want to bring some overseas.

Just jow bought 500g spicy bak Kwa. Always nice to eat

Very good taste. 3 times a week i buy this food

Came ard 9:30 no q. Counter is Open for pre-order and come back to collect est 3hrs later, they will send us a msg to inform for collections. Available in 1 size only 500g.

We ordered almost every dish for delivery; here is a lowdown on what is worth trying and what can be missed. Stick to their martabak manis; the original choco-cheese was gooey and filled with crunchy peanuts! A favourite for all. The ondeh-ondeh filling was however dismal and lacked the gooey filling of the chocolate to hold it together. Everything pretty much fell apart when it was delivered. The savoury martabak are surprisingly good, thick with filling and the kuah martabak telur sauce complimented it well. That is essentially all you should order. Everything else was absolutely disappointing. The Bakso was so salty, I couldn’t eat the meatballs without slathering in sweet sauce or spicy chilly to counter the saltiness. The soup was also too salty. The Indomie Ayam Geprek was essentially fried fatty chicken skin with hardly any actual chicken meat. There was nothing else the instant noodles came with which is a rip off for $11.90. The Indomie Bakso Penyet came with 5 miserable meatballs, no fried egg or garlic crackers as advertised; unsure how they could justify $10.50 for a packet of instant noodles and some small dry meatballs. (unfortunately the dish was eaten before I could get a photo!) The Beef Rendang although taste wise was ok the meat was chewy, tough and dry with hardly any rendang gravy. We requested to separate the chilli as there were children in our group but that request was sadly ignored. All the meals came covered in spicy chilli, which had a kick but meant the children couldn’t have any of the main dishes which is a shame. Strongly suggest Smile Martabak to stick to what you know best and forget about trying other Indonesian alternatives which you are unable to deliver or get right! A hit and miss of a meal, somewhat disappointing. Prices are somewhat higher than most, especially for instant noodles !

Service is inefficient and really slow? The pancake is not even fresh, already cooked and put at the side but yet the staff took his own sweet time to prepare 2 small portions for me. When it’s already done and packed, he didn’t give it to me first but instead went to prepare his other pancake and batter for standby (there is no other customer around). after he’s done with those then he handed me my order. ??? I really don’t understand the logic why can’t he pass me my order first before proceeding with his other standby tasks

Smile Martabak brings Indonesian Street Food to Singapore. We dropped by their branch at Ion Orchard and had a chance to try out their huge menu - here’s what we think! We particularly enjoyed their 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗸 ($𝟰.𝟵𝟱) and 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗸 ($𝟰.𝟵𝟱). The combination of egg, onion and meat was really delicious, and this is truly their signature dish for a reason. We also couldn’t resist ordering their 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗲 ($𝟯.𝟱𝟬) and got many deep fried skewers as well. We were impressed by their 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗶𝗴 𝗘𝗻𝗼𝗸𝗶 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 ($𝟮.𝟱𝟬) and 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗴𝗴𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 ($𝟮.𝟮𝟬) because their veggie sweetness was delicious. Their 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗴 ($𝟮.𝟵𝟬) was also very memorable. The glaze on the chicken was not too sweet and the meat was juicy. Their 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗺𝗯 ($𝟯.𝟭𝟬) was a new menu item that we had to get. The cheese was oozing as we broke it in half - this was perfect for cheese and meat lover. Of course, we couldn’t leave without trying their sweet dessert martabak. The 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲 ($𝟱.𝟵𝟱) was a mixture of salty and sweet, with additional texture from the cheese being in shredded form. The 𝗥𝗲𝗱 𝗩𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘁 𝗢𝗿𝗲𝗼 ($𝟱.𝟵𝟱) was a vibrant red and the cream cheese was not overly sweet. However, the idea of sweet martabak took some getting used to, and perhaps those with a sweet tooth would like this better. Follow us on IG @toofoodtomiss for more foodie content!

Looks like a mess. Tastes pretty authentic but it’s tough.
