I’d like to believe that my preference for Asian cuisine is extensive. I don’t just stick with Chinese food, it extends to Japanese, Thai, Malaysian, Vietnamese and Singaporean. This may be attributed to the intertwining of their culture and somehow their cuisine are inter-adapted.
For this food trip blog, let me share to you a food joint that I have been patronizing since a couple of years back and they recently opened their second branch: Bugis-Chomp Chomp.

Their flagship was a hole in the wall situated at Nicanor Roxas st. in Quezon City. I discovered the establishment during one of my visit in the area where my husband and I usually have our carwash.
The new branch has a better lighting and the ambience and is more inviting from the outside. Though the area is quite small and can comfortably accommodate 50 dine-in customers at any given time, the quality of food is never compromised.
Bugis is known for their authentic Singaporean Laksa, although Laksa is categorized as a Peranakan cuisine infusing Malay and Chinese fare, Singapore is the one who adapted it widely and developed its taste. Bugis’ Laksa(180) includes the customary Shrimp, Crab egg, Crab Claws, Fish ball, Tofu, bean sprouts and boiled egg. Their noodles are the real thing not unlike other joints that uses alternative noodles in their Laksa.

The flavor is very rich and bursting with flavors of the Coconut milk, Sambal, Vietnamese coriander and Laksa Leaf. Bugis’ Laksa spiciness is tolerable to ordinary eater but for someone like me who prefers a higher spiciness level, you can either add the chili garlic oil or request for additional sambal chili paste.
Another must-try is Bugis’ Beef Teriyaki(155). Their meat is very tender and the blend does not overpower the beef taste. Theirs comes with sunny side up egg and fried fish balls.

Buttered Squid Rings (140) is another favorite, the coating is not too thick with just enough flavor to compliment the squid rings. The squid meat is cooked perfectly (overcooking will result to a gummy and tough texture).

Bugis Chomp Chomp also serve other delectable dishes (which I will feature in my next visits), notables are: Hainanese Chicken Rice (180), Chicken Chops (120), Crunchy Tofu with mushroom (120), Curry Tonkatsu (155) and Nasi Goreng (120).
Staple order are their Num Nums (35/stick) which are the likes of Fish Tofu, Fish ball, Lobster Balls, Crab claws, Crab egg and squid fingers. These are fried and served with curry sauce. These are also what you call Asian street food.
Bugis Chomp Chomp is also known patronized for their delicious Bugis Fruit juices, made with real fruits blended with ice into a velvety texture with just the right amount of sweetness.
