From Sister Curry Mee, we took a 10-minute walk along Jalan Paya Terubong to get to Te Chang You Tiao Wang, which specialises in fried dough fritters. As its name suggests, they don’t just make dough fritters, they make extra long ones. Their you tiao is approximately 14 inches long i.e. almost the length of […]

After a wonderful breakfast of wok-hei-laden char koay teow at Tiger Char Koay Teow, we made our way to Air Itam Market as we intended to visit Kek Lok Si Temple later in the day. So convenient to get around with Grab from where we were in George Town. The trip to Air Itam Market […]

On Day 2 of our Penang makan trip, we had an early breakfast of CKT at Tiger Char Koay Teow, which was located in Ping Hooi Cafe on Carnarvon Street. They opened for business at 7.30am but only operated for about 6 hours. So if you want to include Tiger Char Koay Teow in your […]

Our last food stop on Day One. Ending the night on a sweet note. We visited ChinaHouse which claimed to be the longest cafe in Penang. ChinaHouse is a traditional compound that spans three heritage buildings, linked by an open-air courtyard. Its various spaces offer multifaceted experiences comprising shops, cafes, restaurants, an art gallery, a […]

After a long hike along the North Eastern Riverine Loop, we ended up at the Punggol East Container Park. The last time we came here, it was still pre-COVID times. I recalled meeting PM Lee & his wife who were also there taking a walk together with their entourage. Hubby and I then went to […]

Day 1 in Penang. Our food journey continues to our 4th stop of the day. And this time, it would be street food at Kimberley Street Night Market. Every evening around 5pm, Lebuh Kimberley would be turned into a vibrant food street with pushcart hawkers lining up along the street. Kimberley Street Night Market is […]

After a very satisfying lunch at Joo Hooi Cafe where we tucked into some local favourites, we popped over to Ming Xiang Tai Pastry Shop which was just next door. Day 1 – Round 3, here we come! This Ming Xiang Tai outlet on Penang Road really oozes an old school charm. The shop front […]

If you’ve been to Penang before, you’ve probably tried Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul @ Lebuh Keng Kwee. It’s the most well-known chendol in Penang. Their chendol is one of the top things that I miss the most after each trip to Penang. Even though they have outlets in Johor Bahru, the taste isn’t the […]

We are off to Penang for a week’s worth of non-stop eating action! ✈️ Woohoo! If you’ve been following my blog, you probably would have read my previous posts on Penang, which is one of my favourite places to visit in Malaysia. Besides cafe-hopping, enjoying local eats and getting snapshots of street art, there are […]

Update: This restaurant has ceased operations. In my previous post, I had shared about the Korean mini buns I bought from the bakery at Mama Huluruk. They fell short of my expectations, unfortunately. But I was still glad to have lunch at Mama Huluruk as I liked the food. And I wouldn’t mind coming back […]

I never had the chance to try the Portuguese egg tarts from 50年 Taste of Tradition earlier as I always turned up at an outlet at a wrong timing. Either the egg tarts were sold out because people ahead had packed dozens to go or that the tarts were still baking in the oven and […]

Update: This bakery has ceased operations. Whenever we come by Northshore Plaza in Punggol, we would always see something new to try. Decided to have lunch at Mama Huluruk, which opened not too long ago. I will share more about our lunch experience in a separate blog post as I want to introduce the Korean […]

Update Jan 2023: OYE has ceased operation. Came by Waterway Point for a rest break when I was midway through my run as the weather was just too hot. Wanted to grab a shake at Mr. Coconut initially but I changed my mind when I spotted this new al fresco smoothie & juice bar, OYE […]

I am excited to have finally found what I think is the best Korean Spicy Soft Tofu Stew in Singapore! And the place is none other than Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu! This outlet that I visited is actually one of the stalls at Food Loft at 721 Ang Mo Kio Ave 8. It’s one […]

After an excellent afternoon tea break at Dochi Dochi, we continued walking down Joo Chiat Road in search of Kohi Roastery & Coffee Bar. Didn’t exactly check on Google Map beforehand which road intersection to look out for as I thought it would be easy to spot as it was ‘on the same road’. In […]

Headed to Joo Chiat as I wanted to check out a hidden gem & hole-in-the-wall cafe, Kohi Roastery & Coffee Bar. As I was walking along Joo Chiat Road, a cute little bun-like fellow caught my attention. Went forward to take a closer look and realised it was a snack shop that specialised in mochi […]
