Quite average. Quite mushy, although silky, and the sauce was lightly savoury and tasty.
I started patronizing Old Airport Road Hawker Centre only after I secured my driving license back in year 2005 and back then; there were jus...
Whitley Road Big Prawn Noodle at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre and char siew rice from Ah Yee Hong Kong Roasted were the yummy local delights that we ended up eating when we were in the Mountbatten MRT Station vicinity recently.
Banh Mi Thit in Geylang has gotten a good reputation for the best Banh Mi in town. I tried a variety of them to check it out. Let me start off by saying the bread is absolutely amazing.
The coffee was pre-brewed, but I didn't mind as it was fast and dirt cheap. Yeah, I'll come back here again.
Yeah, I'll come back here again.
If you’re looking for a little more variety, the same coffeeshop has a branch of the famous Dunman Char Siew Wanton Mee (QQ noodles & super-spicy chilli sauce!) and an awesome fried oyster omelet (see above). Tao Kee Fried Oyster is a couple of stalls down from Swee Guan Hokkien Mee and was a brilliant discovery by my family – we thoroughly enjoyed the version with a little starch added. It was extra crispy and not gluey or gloopy. So good, we ordered two $10 rounds of the addictive dish served with lots of fresh coriander and a tangy chilli sauce!
Still, I’m a little unsure on whether I would return for this pricey Hokkien mee but there’s no doubt that this is one of the better renditions that you can find in Singapore.
Swee Guan Hokkien Mee impresses me with its strong charcoal flavour and delicious noodles, and that itself is worth returning.
I admit I don’t know much about Filipino food. But I do know I like crispy skin Pork and that’s what Lechon is all about. Don Lechon is a hidden gem. Located at Grandlink Square near Paya Lebar MRT…
All in all, what they may be perceived to be lacking in, is compensated with their congeniality.
Food at Don Lechon is Filipino cuisine, focusing on that much-loved ingredient from the Philippines; Lechon.
L32 Handmade Noodle is still one of my favourites as they remind me of my childhood memories.L32 Handmade Noodle
Despite that the wait and limited car park lots still remains the same, I still don't mind visiting them once in a while to get my handmade Noodle cravings fix!
L32 Handmade Noodles scores excellently on the noodle, ikan bilis, and soup fronts.
While the set lunches are decently price, an ala carte meal would be pricey for a cafe. Expect to spend close to $50 per pax for a meal over the weekend.
Service at Cafe Melba, in their Goodman Arts Centre outlet, is good. Staff are proactive and friendly, quickly greeting and seating guests.
Two visits later and I can finally conclude. A nice place to lay back and chill but it’s not a place I say you can keep returning regularly even though it has a nice Aussie vibe. Food wise I say it’s marginal for the price. It was hearty, good for sharing but I was expecting if I’m going to pay that much.
The catfish was a bit tough though, while the rest of the dish was quite serviceable. What I liked was they stir fried this in front of you.
My verdict for my first Vietnamese BBQ was non-conclusive. Meat marination was almost the same throughout but it didn't elicit that lip-smacking good sensation, unlike my virgin experiences with Korean and Thai BBQ, which had been raving and craving for the next few months.

The crab was really fresh and sweet, and the white pepper was really interesting and refreshing. The JB San Lou Chao Ta Bee Hoon really took me back to JB, soft, flavourful and with wok hei. There’s a good reason for the Michelin recommendation and the crowd here.
I would've preferred the other version, but this was still salty, savory, and spicy enough to be fun to nibble on with some rice on a Sunday afternoon.
JB Ah Meng is running a limited menu on GrabFood right now.
I have not tried Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee, but accordingly, to my friends, the gravy is lighter in flavour in comparison.
A reliable lor mee this was. Best to go early in the morning, when the queue was short and manageable.
Wouldn't mind eating this again but I'd like to give the other Tiong Bahru Lor Mee stall a try first.
Perfectly runny eggs. Full marks for the ambience, although it is a relatively new and renovated coffeeshop. Packed on a weekend morning – omg.
The traditional Singapore toast set here is worth returning.
If you’re looking for a reasonably-priced and traditional local breakfast, this is the place for you.
I can conclude that my first kway chap experience was very pleasant.
This left quite a good impression as this is the cleanest innards that I ever tasted.
Though this food centre is one of the biggest in Singapore, locating the stall is not that difficult, just look for the longest queue and you will most likely find yourself standing in front of the stall. We often saw the snaking line and gave it a pass. Still, our glutton nature won out in the end. We had to find out: why is this kway chap worthy of a 30 minute wait?
The wife and I had a nice breakfast date at Yong He. We heard the place had a nice reputation for Taiwanese breakfast items so we tried it out, not once, but twice! You Tiao – a staple. Fresh…
Craving for Taiwanese Yong He You Tiao? Why not head over here to try out some of the Taiwanese dishes? We will not purposely make a trip back here unless we are either nearby or really hungry in the night as it is open 24 hours.

Kuong’s Wanton Mee is one of the well-known places for Wanton Mee in Singapore. The Noodles are nicely biting to the bite, the Char Siew is a little too dry for me, the Wantons are well seasoned.
Although I had tasted their Wanton Mee in JEM, I still prefer this original outlet in Sims Avenue even there is no air-conditioned environment. Having said this, Mall is still easier to access as compared to here.
Koung's pork - dried scallop - dried sole fish soup and wantons are better than Kok Kee's in my opinion.
Best Braised Duck Rice
That "premium" plate above featured the widest variety of items available: duck meat, bean sprouts, braised peanuts, braised egg, chili fishcakes, and beancurd, all covered in their dark sauce.
Recently I was invited to try the durians from Durian SG Prime. Durian SG Prime obtains its durians from the Raub district of Pahang, Malaysia. They offer durians from 3 mountains : Famous Tiger Mo…
One of the best durians that I tried this year. The Black Gold MSW from the Famous Tiger Mountain Old Tree is an experience to behold and you will have durian lovers salivating for it. Die Die Must Try!! Cheers!!
The quality of durians served by Durian SG Prime is reliable and they took pride in what they are delivering to the customer. Customers are also cover with guaranteed exchange for any durians that does not meet their expectation.
Mee pok with minced pork, their concoction of fatty/greasy sauces and chilli paste which made a delicious bowl of smoky savoury noodles.
Roast Paradise is definitely not one of those typical ‘Roasted Delights’ stores that you’d find dotted around Singapore.
The Char Siew is still amongst the best that I had eaten but I could not say the same about their Sio Bak as I actually prefer those from 88 Hong Kong Roast Meat Specialist. The texture of the Char Siew was amazingly soft, this is their signature dish that has left many of their customers smitten.
The cheeseburger had a soft bun and a nice thick coarse grind patty that was slightly charred, smoky, moist and beefy, which paired well with the cheese, raw onions, caramelised onions, pickle and nice tangy sauce. The fries were also good. Very nice burger.
It is nice to see modern concepts by young hawkers such as Blackgoat in our hawker centres. I like the whole charcoal grill concept and it is also great that the team changes its dishes from time to time so that repeated customers get to try something different each time. For myself, I would love to give the cheeseburger a try next.
All in all, it was a good experience new kind of food being introduced into the hawker centre and also supporting the young hawkers.
Tuck Shop Singapore is a café-bar on Guillemard Road. Community Bar by the Riverside where you assemble over good beer, food & company
Dishes were satisfying and best of all, eaten in the comfort of the air conditioned room....I mean don't we all crave some form of comfort when the heat gets too much and cravings for local hawker food gets too strong?
The staffs here are friendly and attentive. The dishes are served within 15minutes upon ordering. It was pretty fast and efficient.
Highly recommended. I like Tan Ser Seng's turtle soup because of it's nice texture and mild herbal taste from quality ingredients.
Honey Night - Itaewon Class Inspired Restaurant
Honey Night is a hidden gem in the Paya Lebar area and the prices are slightly lower than other Korean restaurants.
