Update: The Mama Shop has closed w.e.f. Aug 2015. The husband and I went to Chinatown to shop for kitchenware and were about to make our way home from Pearls Centre but we couldn’t catch the CT8 bus in time which meant we had to wait for another 40 minutes for the next one. 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 […]

Besides Lao Liang @ Jalan Berseh Food Centre, this is probably the 2nd place I know that sells pig trotters jelly and poached shark meat. It is such a rare find in Singapore and I really wonder if such a traditional culinary art will actually survive in the years to come. Though I’ve grown up in […]

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 […]

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 […]

Been almost 3 years since I last reviewed D’Rubinah Restaurant. Whenever the husband and I came by Sembawang Shopping Centre, we would almost always come here for a nasi briyani which I think is still one of the better ones out there. On my last visit, Godma and I shared a lontong which was incredibly […]

The husband and I had been wanting to try this really popular stall at People’s Park Food Centre (just next to OG Department Store) but the roast meat (siu yok) was completely sold out on the last couple of occasions we were here. This time we came by about 1pm on a Saturday afternoon for […]

Though I’ve lived in Ang Mo Kio for the longest time ever, there are still a number of places I’ve yet to explore including this particular precinct. Previously I was in the vicinity to buy cakes from Pine Garden and this time round I was supposed to have lunch at Nakhon Kitchen with the makan […]

Ask my husband which is his favourite bak kut teh in Singapore to date and he will definitely reply, “Ya Hua”. He has been regularly patronising Ya Hua BKT during lunch time with his colleagues for quite a while now since their office is nearby so in our earlier BKT adventure, he insisted that I should […]

The husband and I wanted to have lunch at Nakhon Kitchen at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 but it was closed (without notice) on that day so we ended up eating duck rice from a nearby coffeeshop. We were about to make our way to Coffee Bean at AMK Hub for a coffee fix when […]

Hello folks! How’s CNY preparation coming along? Just one more week to go. I’m back from a cruise on Sapphire Princess (amazing experience!) and still feeling quite shagged after a few nights of little or no sleep. Too much action at the casino, lol. And I’m having a bad sunburn and rash on my body which […]

Update: This outlet had closed. Bentos were first introduced to Taiwan by the Japanese many decades ago and railway bentos simply grew in popularity as people packed rice boxes to eat onboard the train during long inter-city journeys. Unlike the Japanese equivalent that’s normally chilled, Taiwanese railway bentos are served hot with a wide variety […]

My Bak Kut Teh adventure continues, lol. Right after having an unexciting BKT at Song Fa the day before, the husband insisted that we should go try the famous Founder BKT @ Balestier that so many people had raved about. Even celebrities like Jay Chou would always visit this place whenever he is in Singapore. Hmm, what’s so great […]

Whenever the craving for chilled seafood & foie gras strikes, one place that comes to mind is often Basilico that offers a luxurious Italian brunch buffet with a sumptuous seafood spread, an amazing array of cheeses in a dedicated room, a foie gras counter and of course, not forgetting the all-time favourites of homemade pizzas, pastas, […]

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 […]
