One Farrer Hotel, located within walking distance of Farrer Park MRT Station, is formerly known as One Farrer Hotel and Spa. The hotel is integrated with Farrer Park Hospital and Farrer Park Medical Centre.
All in all, I enjoyed the hotel stay at One Farrer.
Food at One Farrer Hotel is mostly provided at the Garden Pavilion Restaurant. Fully air-conditioned and set amidst the Garden Walk, with flowy drapes and elegant chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, the large dining hall looks so welcoming.
I first heard of Yean Heng Pancake around ten years ago due to a television show that was talking about local heritage food popular with res...
Stalking Pek Kio hawker centre, I saw three wanton mee stalls here and Soon Kee Wanton Mee was the only one that had a queue.
Three Stalls at Pek Kio Market & Food Centre
Chicken Rice Takeaway, Char Siew and Dumplings
The good thing is I liked it more than the way I described it last time, as the broth was actually delicate and savory, and the chicken was nice and moist.
An epicureanistic corollary to its 3-year-old burgeoning Cantonese tour de force of a near identical name, Jia He Grand Chinese Restaurant officially unfurled at One Farrer Hotel on 16 November...
At Jia He you have to make a reservation for their Dim Sum Brunch way in advance. For us, it was 4 weeks. Is it worth it? Of course I always start with Har Gow and Siew Mai. These were pretty decen…
We got to try the Roast Duck (above): crispy skin, juicy meat and good marination. Excellent sauce. I'm tempted to come back and try the Peking duck.
Spice Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road has reopened its doors and we are all ready for their Christmas buffet.
亚洲街头美食任点自助餐只在周末推出，星期六与星期日午餐，星期五至星期日晚餐，每人$58。
I always like the buffet offered by Spice Brasserie. Since now it is ala carte format, it is even better. Sit back, order and eat.
In my memory of Pek Kio hawker centre, the most famous stall had to be the prawn noodle (soup) manned by a no-nonsense auntie but in my rece...
Michelin Guide Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun. If you are in Pek Kio Market & Food Centre, you will notice the few stalls that will alway have a continuous stream of queue in front of their stall and Pin Wei Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun is just one of them.
Pin Wei is selling Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun that is freshly made on the spot in front of the customers' eyes.
This bean curd was from the Whampoa Soya Bean & Grass Jelly Drinks stall. Goji berries were one of the options for topping.
Not a bad tasting gravy but not outstanding as well. The toppings were good though - prawns were naturally crunchy & sweet and the pork slices were tender.
Bean curd with red beans (or are they kidney beans?) and gingko nuts. Not so big on those beans but the gingko nuts were tender and sweet.
Another lovely meat from the carving station is the Crackling Roasted Bungalow Pork Belly with prune stuffing. The sweetness from the prune stuffing provides the balance for the succulent pork belly.
They have quite a good selection of desserts but I think that the Tiramisu and Warm Chocolate Tart are the best!
My personal favourite would be the Michael Jackson in a shot glass. It consists of Soya Bean, Grass Jelly, and Longan. A small serving of nostalgia.
Well-known for their authentic Hainanese beef noodles, Blanco Court Beef Noodles has many loyal fans.
There is no GST and service charge applicable. If you planning to come over, be prepare to queue for at least an hour. They only accept walk-ins now.
If you are in the vicinity, and have a Bak Kut Teh craving, Jia Bin is worth a try.
I think this is our first time at Hansang for dinner rather than lunch. We not only had that budaejjigae above, but also both kurobuta and wagyu on the grill. The service was engaging and the food was fine, but my preference is still for Go! K-BBQ, both for food and price reasons.

I am so happy that they have the option of white rice here which I gladly opt for over yam rice. There is a healthy portion of duck meat on the rice all drenched in sauce with herbal notes.
The braising sauce was still sticky, tasty and layered, but something was missing. While the braised duck was still fairly tender and moist, it seemed to be sliced just that bit thicker compared to South Buona Vista, which made for a more chewy bite.
I would recommend to dine-in instead for a better dining experience.
We returned to Tunglok Teahouse to try some Dim Sum and enjoy ourselves. It’s not Dim Sum without Har Gow, Siew Mai, Xiao Long Bao and Spinach Dumplings. All fresh and well done.
My son loves automated serving, like a robot or the conveyors at Sushiro, so we took him to Tung Lok Teahouse in Novena – he loved it. Crispy Roll with Prawn Chang Fun was nice and crispy and…
The price is very reasonable for what you get. It’s just $26.80++ per adult, and $16.80++ per child from Mondays to Thursdays, and $28.80++ per adult, and $18.80++ per child from Fridays to Sundays, as well as public holidays.
Ng Ah Sio BKT restaurant is one of the best known bak kut teh brands in Singapore. Its Rangoon Road BKT restaurant is also one of the tidiest. This is the place to go for Teochew style pork ribs soup in a comfortable setting.
We like the stewed pork trotter because the skin, fat and meat were tender and juicy with mild savoury sweet flavours.
Even though I am not a big fan of Bak Kut Teh, I enjoyed Ng Ah Sio Bak Teh. Personally, I think it is the best so far.
On the whole, the food is lighter than elsewhere, and are suitable for older folks. Parents and grandparents may appreciate it.
The dishes lean towards a mix of Sichuan and Cantonese fares at this branch, and it is one Chinese restaurant to check out in Farrer Park.
餐馆环境提升，菜单上也做出调整。
Michelle pledged to drive over with more makan kaki when she returns from her Scandinavian tour. Driving, feasting and feeding her wanderlust – the line between work and play is enviably fuzzy for her. I remarked to Michelle that her passions have truly taken her the delicious distance.
A decent plate of Malaysian-style Nasi Lemak to try in McNair Road within a modern looking coffeeshop. It is more expensive than what you get at hawker centres, but it makes up for its finer presentation and portion. You also get to try old school flavour laksa from Laksa Labo within the same coffeeshop.
The ayam berempah quite fragrant, tender inside and crispy outside, but the leg was slightly unmeaty and pink. The rice was lightly fragrant of coconut and pandan, fluffy and moist, and the sambal was really spicy and had a real kick. The eggs, ikan bilis and nuts was average. Overall above average, but I won’t crave it.
Daizu cafe opened at Rangoon road back in 2020. Rangoon road is no stranger to cafe-hoppers with many cafes there such as Brunches Cafe, Gather the Misfits Cafe, and Mosanco Enchanted Cafe.
It has a relax casual feel when you stepped into the café. There are only about 3-4 tables on the first floor with more seats on the upper loft.
The kueh lapis sagu had a very restrained and balanced sweetness, as well as a refined coconut milk fragrance. The lemper ayam was very nice, having a very wholesome savouriness with perfectly sticky and savoury glutinous rice and chicken. Takeaway only.
Great place to find some authentic Indonesian kuehs and dishes made with a lot of passion!
Makan House by Ollella is a good hangout with good espresso coffee and authentic Indonesian fare.
