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’m still kinda tickled by the title of this blog post. ? Well, I’m probably one of the few people in Singapore who has blacklisted the ‘famous’ SabX2 Wanton Noodle that’s located on Soi Phetchaburi 19 in Bangkok. Seriously, who needs SabX2 when you have tastier Thai wanton mee back at home? And I’m talking […]
We were seated right in front of 知者来 (or Zhi Zhe Lai) as we were having breakfast at the Toa Payoh West Market & Food Centre. This stall is located a few units away from Teochew Handmade Pau so if you’re seated in the same section, you shouldn’t miss this. Saw many customers leaving with […]
This is like the 3rd time I’ve blogged about Yum Cha Restaurant in Chinatown, lol. Been coming here for its Weekday Dim Sum High Tea Buffet for years and the food has never let me down. Whenever we have family or friends visiting us in Singapore, Yum Cha is one of the places that we […]
Two weeks ago, I accompanied W to Tan Tock Seng Hospital and I came across this pretty-looking Green Tea Puff (S$2.90 each) while buying snacks at Polar Puffs & Cakes. Had to buy two home to try. 🙂 When I cut into the puff, I was really delighted to see how thin the choux pastry […]
Those of you living in the West may have already stumbled upon Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart at Jurong Point. However, do not mistake this for BAKE Cheese Tart at ION Orchard and Westgate which is the real deal from Hokkaido, Japan whereas Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart is by Malaysian cafe chain, Secret Recipe. I first […]
Japanese food lovers in Singapore should be quite familiar with Teppei Japanese Restaurant @ Orchid Hotel (Tanjong Pagar) that is popular for its value-for-money omakase set dinners (require 6 months advance reservation) and bara chirashi dons. But what I really like is their takeaway counter, Teppei Syokudo, which is conveniently located at places including Takashimaya […]
Since back from our Bangkok holiday, I’ve been lamenting to the husband about the lack of street food vendors and good cha yen in Singapore. Really miss that week of non-stop eating, lol. We stayed right in the heart of Pratunam and we would be greeted (day & night) with a whole busy street of […]
The first time I came across the term ‘kefir’ was when the hubby’s colleague bought us some bak kwa scones from Miss Kefir. Initially I thought that was just a name, as in a shop name, but I realised later that kefir is actually a yogurt-like cultured drink that’s popular in Eastern and Northern Europe. […]
Merry Christmas, everyone! 🙂 Burp Kitchen & Bar (@ Bedok Reservoir Road) has recently opened its second outlet at the popular food enclave of Tanjong Katong, which is home to cuisines from all around the world. Burp is a 15-20 minute walk from Paya Lebar MRT Station, perfect if you want to walk up an […]
I was at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital to pick up my Dad who was getting discharged. We headed to the food court for lunch and saw that the place had undergone a major facelift and is now a 2-storey space that sports a clean, bright and trendy outfit. The number of food stalls has probably […]
I was just stoked to discover another hidden gem in Singapore on Sembawang Road this time. Was invited to a food tasting at this newly opened restaurant that is located a stone’s throw away from Springleaf where the popular prata place and Ampang yong tau foo are. I just love that absolutely tranquil surrounding. It […]
Update (Feb 2019): Zaolek Lok Lok has relocated to 605B MacPherson Road, #03-08, Singapore 368241. This food tasting/review was done at their old location at Paya Lebar Kovan Community Club. I had previously lamented the lack of lok lok eateries in Singapore but after having stumbled upon Malaysia Local Delights @ Tanjong Katong Road two years […]
Whenever I come to the Balestier area, I seldom leave here without getting a box of my favourite tau sar piah or 豆沙饼, a Chinese flaky pastry with green bean billing. I had tried the tau sar piah from several bakeries in the same neighbourhood. [Read my earlier blog post -> 603 Tau Sar Piah […]
The first place that comes to my mind when I think of good ang ku kueh (‘red tortoise cake’, a round or oval shaped Chinese-style pastry made of glutinous rice flour skin with a sweet filling) is actually not anywhere in Singapore but Season Bakery in Johor Bahru. My mum loves their ang ku kueh a […]
It has been more than 5 years since I came here for a meal. [Read my earlier blog post on this place -> Rabbit Brand Seafood Delicacies.] Been wanting to bring J here to try the food but never got the chance to until recently when we were out for an urban walk and we […]
