I’m now a convert and I don’t mean it religiously. From a previous ‘I don’t like peppery bak kut teh’ attitude to the current ‘I want to eat peppery bak kut teh’ mindset, I can’t help but feel amused that my tastebuds have yet again evolved (likely with age?) or perhaps I’m just a late BKT bloomer, lol. Well, thanks to my BKT-fanatic husband, we had […]

Update: Cafebiz is now known as J65. Goodbye Traders. Hello Jen. If you’ve not heard about the news, well, the former Traders Hotel on Cuscaden Road had been rebranded as Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore (not to be confused with Hotel Jen Orchardgateway Singapore) since September last year. The old Traders Hotel had been one of […]

My love for Singapore food is probably beyond imagination, lol. When I had to travel frequently for business in a previous job, the one thing that I’d always miss was our char kway teow, bak chor mee, chicken rice and the like because these local eats are simply a myriad of flavours, aromas, sights and sounds that are not only appetising but […]

Parklane Zha Yun Tun Mee House used to have an outlet at North Bridge Commercial Complex (the current Bugis Cube) along North Bridge Road and I often had my lunch there when I was working at Liang Seah Street many years back. When the outlet closed several years ago, I was deeply disappointed as I […]

This mixed rice stall has been in our neighbourhood food centre for a number of years now. Every time I’m there, I always see a queue, rain or shine especially in the early morning where everyone is getting their breakfast from here. This may look like any ordinary mixed veg rice stall with various dishes to […]

Couple of years back, the husband and I often frequented Jalan Besar when we had to shop for bathroom accessories for our new house then. And this particular ‘mixed veg rice stall’ that often saw throngs of customers was one of our favourites for a quick lunch. No one would expect decent food to be […]

If you love Teochew food, then you’d probably know or hear of Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine that is located in the club of the same name along Keng Lee Road. Within the same club also houses 1 of 4 outlets of one of Singapore’s popular bak kut teh (pork ribs soup) eating houses, Ng Ah Sio Bak Kut […]

Singapore’s Ultimate Hawker Fest [终极街头美食节] is back for the third year! It’s all about celebrating Singapore’s unique hawker heritage, as part of Singapore’s Jubilee (SG50) celebrations while raising funds for the needy and disadvantaged. All profits from the event will go to more than 32,000 beneficiaries of Touch Community Services, regardless of race and religion. Fellow food bloggers Maureen (misstamchiak), Derrick […]

Those of you working in Raffles Place, you would likely know this unassuming place as one of the better fish soups within the CBD that always had a long queue at lunch time on weekdays. I’m a big fan of fish soup so when my colleague recommended me this stall years ago while I was working in the […]

The husband wanted to go BreadTalk IHQ for some sports apparel warehouse sale so I suggested to walk over to Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee (nearest MRT is Tai Seng) for lunch beforehand since it was nearby. Just months ago, it’d take 2-3 hours to queue for a bowl of ban mian here. We are really glad the […]

The husband and I had probably passed by this S11 food court umpteen times whenever we headed to NTUC Fairprice at AMK Hub for our weekly grocery shopping. Every time, we’d see a long queue at this chicken rice stall but had never given it a try. Recently we were there again and as it was raining […]

Most of you had probably read the news recently about the temporary closure of this food court after a picture showing cockroaches running around the chicken rice stall went viral online last week. Eeeeww! Anyway, I just happened to eat here a couple of days before this incident and no, I didn’t order anything from the chicken […]

While I was queuing up for Selera Rasa’s dum briyani next door, the auntie from this kueh kueh stall who was scooping freshly steamed yam paste into disposable containers kept telling me how fantastic her yam paste was. The thing is, I wasn’t the only person in the queue and I wasn’t even standing nearest […]

On the previous occasion the husband and I were here at the Old Airport Road Food Centre, we caught sight of people walking past our table with plates and plates of nasi briyani (briyani, biryani or beryani? let’s just stick with the first for now!) from Selera Rasa. And it was what brought us back […]

After finishing our not-so-filling chee cheong fun, we combed the food centre again and spotted this stall. Hadn’t had char kway teow for a long while now so we jumped at the chance to give this a try since there wasn’t a queue anyway. We ordered the $5 portion that came with 2 medium sized […]

The Old Airport Road Food Centre is one of our all-time favourite makan (‘eat’ in Malay) spots in Singapore. The husband and I used to frequent it very often (before Lao Ban Soya Beancurd outlets sprung up everywhere) just to grab a dozen of beancurd to go but not anymore since I started making my own beancurd […]
