I had a major operation and was recuperating at home for the last two months - hence, haven't been able to venture out for good food hunting 😔 I also had to eat a low fat, low sugar, low salt, high nutrition diet to help in my recovery.

Saw buddy Aaron recommending on Facebook, Song Heng Fishball Minced Pork Noodle in Ang Mo Kio 628 food centre.
