On our last night in Penang, we went to Pulau Tikus Hawker Centre for our last supper. One week in Penang just flew by in an instant! I’m so going to miss all these good food we had. And of course, thank you to my readers for following me on my Penang food journey for […]
We had a lovely evening cocktail at the Executive Lounge of G Hotel Kelawai earlier. Yet we still felt peckish an hour later, lol. Not a big problem anyway as there were plenty of food options in the area. We headed out and made our way towards Gurney Drive Hawker Centre, which was just a […]
Checking out the convenience stores in other cities is something that I would definitely do when travelling. It’s just interesting to know and see what range of food offerings each city has because it’s always different in every place. Convenience stores around the world America – Fancy some late night snacking on hotdogs, burgers and […]
Hadn’t been to Ci Yuan Hawker Centre for the longest time. Decided to come by to grab a quick lunch when I was in the vicinity but was surprised to discover my favourite Fatty Cheong Roast Meats had already ceased operation. Thank goodness their original stall at ABC Brickworks Food Centre is still in business. […]
Before Northpoint City and Yishun Park Hawker Centre sprung up in the northern town of Yishun, I had never really hung out in the neighbourhood much or specifically made trips there to eat something. Nothing there really interested me previously even though I don’t live that far away. 😛 Of course, now it’s a different […]
I’ve switched from Asian cuisine to Western food recently since coming back from my holiday. Probably because I’ve eaten way too much of these noodles and rice dishes in my last trip that my usual cravings for them are gone, haha. Well I’m sure that’s just temporary. ? Trying to get back on track with […]
After our street food adventure at Petaling Street (read my earlier blog post on Chinatown | Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur), J and I ventured into the alley via an inconspicuous entrance on Petaling Street and found our way to Penjaja Gallery (李霖泰菜市场). This place is more commonly known as Madras Lane Wet Market (中华巷湿巴杀市场) […]
The old Imbi Market used to be situated on Jalan Melati, Imbi in Kuala Lumpur. Just five months ago, the market had moved to its new home and current premise at ICC Pudu. Perhaps many would regard that as a welcomed move as at the new premise, there would be improved infrastructure and a cleaner […]
Rolina used to be a bakery in Ang Mo Kio in the 80s and 90s, if my memory serves me right. I kinda remembered the times when I would pop by the shop after school to grab some afternoon tea time snacks and I didn’t know they actually specialised in curry puffs now until a […]
The oyster cake was one of Granny’s favourite deep-fried snacks in the 80s. I remembered they were very greasy but oh-so-delicious and addictive. They also had crunchy peanuts and crispy silver fish on top. Not really sure where Gran had bought the oyster cakes from or perhaps because they were more common back then so […]
Was searching for somewhere to lunch in Hougang after my therapy session and happened to stumble upon this new hawker centre that is located within a community centre. Just love how spacious, clean, airy and well-ventilated the hawker centre is. Ci Yuan Community Club Hawker Centre is the first new-generation hawker centre to be built […]
Update (Oct 2016): Price for the Xiao Long Bao or Guo Tie is now S$6. The husband and I were checking out the Chinatown Complex Food Centre for new eats and we stumbled upon this Chinese stall that sells xiao long bao (XLB), dumplings and a decent selection of noodles. Their XLBs are all handmade […]
Like many foodies out there, the husband and I sometimes face what’s commonly known as a ‘first world problem’ because we always don’t know what to eat even though there is a huge hawker centre in our neighbourhood and several coffee shops too. To me, I guess it’s a happy problem because it spurs me on […]

Besides Lao Liang @ Jalan Berseh Food Centre, this is probably the 2nd place I know that sells pig trotters jelly and poached shark meat. It is such a rare find in Singapore and I really wonder if such a traditional culinary art will actually survive in the years to come. Though I’ve grown up in […]
I tried the rojak from this stall many years ago when my then-colleagues and I came by for 梁照记 duck rice (just next door to this) on a few occasions and there would definitely be long queues at both stalls during peak lunch time. Though I was here around mid-afternoon, the queue at this stall […]
