Centre Satay Bee Hoon @ Ang Mo Kio Central Food Centre

This satay bee hoon stall in Ang Mo Kio Central Food Market has been around for at least 25 years. I first had this when I was in primary school in the 1980s as my Granny was a big fan of it and she’d always bring me here then. I continued patronising this stall over […]

Qiu Lian Ban Mian @ Food Republic, City Square Mall

The husband and I were at City Square Mall over the weekend when we were attracted by this ‘row of shophouses’ on the 4th level of the mall that was filled with nostalgic charm. Indeed, this was a new concept by Food Republic to recreate the New World’s good old days when street hawkers on […]

DoDo Fischeon (Fish Meat Loaf) & Fischeon Pasta Recipe

After learning of this DoDo’s new product through its launch campaign a while back, I bought a can from the supermarket out of curiosity just to find out how DoDo fischeon would taste like as compared to luncheon meat. ‘Fischeon’ simply means ‘Fish Luncheon’. It is available in 3 flavours: Original, Cheese and Black Pepper […]

Tiong Bahru Market Tow Kwar Pop 豆乾薄 (Stuffed Tofu Puffs)

My husband and I felt a little peckish after buying CNY cookies from Galicier Confectionery so we decided to head to the nearby Tiong Bahru Market for a quick bite. As I was skimming around the food centre, this particular stall’s colourful signboard caught my eye which I thought was perfect since we just wanted […]

Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak @ Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5

If you’ve been to Adam Road Food Centre, you’d probably have noticed the endlessly long queue for their nasi lemak. Selera Rasa has won numerous accolades and awards for being the best nasi lemak stall in Singapore and till today, I still think their nasi lemak has consistently maintained its high standard. Its second outlet […]

Lim Hai Sheng Cooked Food 林海盛熟食 – Teochew Style Fried Carrot Cake

Those residing in Ang Mo Kio are probably very familiar with this popular carrot cake stall at the hawker centre in Ang Mo Kio Central that only sells the white crispy version. It is located next to my favourite drinks stall (read my previous review here) that serves up one of the best home-made ice […]

High Tea Buffet @ Straits Cafe, Rendezvous Grand Hotel

I just wonder sometimes why I would go crazy with buffets especially when I love variety but I’m never able to eat so much at one setting compared to the husband. And my appetite seems to shrink as I grow older (another sign of aging?) but my weight remains the same (unfair!). Buffets are just […]

[Closed] Todai International Cuisine, Seafood & Sushi Buffet Restaurant @ Marina Bay Sands

Update: This restaurant is no longer in operation. I can’t believe I took so long to blog about Todai even though I’ve been here like four times. The first time was when the husband decided to try out his first ever eating challenge at the Todai Spicy Sushi Roll Competition. He won the challenge and […]

Dong Po Colonial Cafe @ Kandahar Street

I’m getting more and more sentimental recently. I wonder if this is all part of aging as I approach my mid-30s. Nostalgic stuffs really draw my attention these days, so does this quaint looking coffee shop with its traditional signboard. I was at Kandahar Street as I wanted to buy some swiss rolls from the […]

Boon Tong Kee Cantonese Chicken Rice 文東記 @ Ang Mo Kio

There was a time at my old workplace when a Thai client came to Singapore for a site inspection of a conference venue. I was amused when she brought along with her several tupperware containers because she wanted to pack Boon Tong Kee Chicken Rice home for her family for dinner that evening. And she […]

Penang Delights Prawn Mee & Lor Mee @ S11, Ang Mo Kio Central

Penang Delights was voted as one of the top prawn noodle stalls in Singapore by Channel U viewers. Indeed, it is also one of my two favourite places to go to for a tasty bowl of prawn noodles besides Whitley Road Big Prawn Mee. This stall is located at the S11 Food Court (in front of […]

Lor Mee 178 (鹵麵178) @ Tiong Bahru Market

I was craving for nonya kuehs and lor mee so I went gallivanting in Tiong Bahru for some good eats. Headed to Tiong Bahru Market for lunch and had queued up at Tiong Bahru Lor Mee Stall (#02-80) for at least 10 minutes but was told their Lor Mee had sold out by the time […]

Grandma’s Restaurant @ Raffles City

5 years ago, I tried the Nasi Bojari at Madam Kwan’s at Suria KLCC and I simply couldn’t forget its luscious plate of tri-coloured rice with their signature fried chicken leg, beef rendang and assam prawns. Though Madam Kwan is also available in Singapore now at Vivocity, it just doesn’t feel and taste the same. So […]

Chicken Wings as good as Grandma’s @ IKEA Restaurant (Alexandra)

The husband and I visit the IKEA store at least once a month since we got our new house last year as it seems like there is always something for us to buy there. Either it’s kitchen equipment/gadget for me or some DIY stuff for him. And each time we are there, we’d sure dine […]

Buffet Town International Seafood, Mixed Grill & Teppanyaki @ Raffles City

It was 8 o’clock in the evening and the husband and I were roaming everywhere in Raffles City, undecided on where to have our dinner till we chanced upon Buffet Town that was bustling with life (and noise) inside. A peep into the restaurant through the glass window, I saw piles of chilled crayfish, oysters […]

Nonya Kueh from Tiong Bahru Galicier Pastry

Tiong Bahru Galicier Pastry is a neighbourhood bakery that specialises in traditional nonya kuehs, cakes and pastries. A simple shop front with no fanciful finishings, it exudes a type of old-school charm which I used to see back in the 80s. Totally unpretentious but filled with delectable snacks that bring back the fond memories of […]
