JB kaki- Malaysia dim sum@ Restoran Kak Kak
Sunny
Once, I had been to 报纸街, coming across a shop with staff holding giant woven pans as if they were more precious than world class kaiseki ryori. It bore a memorable name too, Kak Kak (佳佳), meaning fine^2. 报纸街, have you been warned of pickpockets there?
Dim sum in strange shapes and sizes. Red, long, yellow puffs.
There was no menu, no prices, no names. All you had to do was to gawk and point at the pink, green, or black and that will do. Dine to replace the Fullerton's Jade dim sum buffet I had given up, literally, for Johor Bahru dim sum.
(RM 56.00)
They were meaty, as you can tell. The black was shiitake mushroom lined on top of steamed meat paste, and red crabmeat stuffed with steamed meat paste in seaweed. Like sushi, except those were filled with rice instead. What was cantonese dim sum stuffed with then, I was overwhelmed by Johor Bahru dim sum and unable to think straight.
The green was ingeniously peas incorporated, creamy and savoury, on the dim sum of unmistakeably mixed meats. Bitter gourd was cooked till tender, set with fried nonetheless tasty meat.
P.S. So what have I gained throwing in the towel for Singapore's best, and no frills hawker dim sum? Why do I clamber out of my seat like a baby, for road side hawker? Malaysian dim sum is a cross between dim sum and yong tau foo (stuffed tofu and vegetables with meat). They are fleshy, filling, leaning on the sweet side rather than savoury. Not packed with seafood like their cantonese counterpart.

True cafe, not? Pink eggs benedict@ Rise & Grind
Sunny
White meat eaters, pescetarian, and seafood lovers rejoice. Twin protein powers, eggs from the quality sources, chicken (egg), and fish (salmon roe).
At the top of the craggy hill (Bukit Timah Hill) (mound on top of the hill) (Bukit Timah Plaza in Bukit Timah Road), a whitewashed container classroom beside the Korean bingsu cafe, in the lukewarm slowly heating things up Bukit Timah belt of Downtown Line 2, it was an authentic cafe experience. Upside down rail pails and vintage cups were found in the cafe.
Avo-ka-dukkah (SGD 15.00)

Oceans's Thirteen (SGD 17.00)
Another (pink)highlight of Rise & Grind, pink eggs benedict. Hollandaise sauce made from beetroot and yoghurt. Your rustic eggs ben toast does not run dry, soak it in the runny egg yolk, pink beets sauce, yuzu hollandaise sauce or skinny sans sauce.
Operated by locals, the minimally designed Rise & Grind menu was a mouthful to read. Many herbs and zests of nature, light on the stomach way of cooking, such as dukkah (superfoods around, ?eastern garlic) on the round poached eggs (of the green eggs benedict), haloumi cheese, grilled (on the green eggs benedict), and chives and cracked pepper (on the pink eggs benedict).
P.S. There were other proteins of the sphere yet to be explored. Hei Amigo (chorizo), The Italian Job (prosciutto), it would count for another trip.
