I like to buy the stuffed tofu puffs from my neighbourhood wet market which are freshly made everyday and I’d cook them like how I would a soupy yong tau foo. In every puff, there would always be crunchy bits of prawns besides the well seasoned minced pork. This time, I decided to make them […]
23 March 2015 • 3.18am I got the news at 6 when my Singaporean friend who’s living in the UK paid tribute to Mr Lee on social media. Perhaps reality hadn’t quite sunk in or that his demise wasn’t unexpected as his condition deteriorated while he was in hospital. I headed to the gym as […]
My recent food posts were all Whampoa-related and this shall be the last of the lot to conclude my Whampoa/Balestier eat-venture. There’s no better way to end off with yet another great find of an old school bakery like this. Many may not have heard of Sing Hon Loong but most (if not all) of […]
While I’m not exactly on a diet, I do like to seek out food alternatives that are healthier and/or have lower calories than their regular counterparts. One good example is opting for mashed cauliflower (check out my recipe here) rather than mashed potato because the former contains only 1/3 of the calories of potato (100g […]
Besides Lao Liang @ Jalan Berseh Food Centre, this is probably the 2nd place I know that sells pig trotters jelly and poached shark meat.

I first fell in love with kiam chye ark (salted vegetable duck soup) when I had this really amazing one at Hup Seng Duck Rice @ Sin Ming Road that was peppery, flavoursome but not overly salty at all. It was one that warmed the tummy and just tasted comforting. I did my own version without […]
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 […]
I first came across this new Kewpie product when I was doing grocery shopping at Fairprice sometime last year. It was retailing at about S$5.80 per 210ml bottle. Bought one bottle, tried it and just loved that savoury & nutty flavour that made salads taste really yummy. Couple of months later, I was shopping at […]
Been a while since I last visited Whampoa market for Singapore local food. And it was only in recent weeks when I had been frequenting the area to buy bread from the nearby traditional bakeries that I had the chance to explore further. First up, let’s take a look at the Best Lu Mian In […]
