Get ready for Chimichanga Mexican Restaurant and Bar at PLQ On a recent visit to PLQ Mall we spied this incredible site advertising Chimichanga is setting up at PLQ! Boy are we excited about this outlet joining us in the East coast of Singapore!
PLQ Food there is so much to choose from London Fat Duck, Old Street Bak Kut Teh & Collins Gastro Dining. Chug Chug & Wursthans Switzerland
Red Ginger in PLQ Mall is an all day dining cafe serving kuehs, Nasi Padang dishes & traditional hawker fare like laksa & mee rebus at affordable prices.
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.
Many people cannot do without social media nowadays and I am one of them; for me, social media is informative with groups like taobao shoppi...
Food at Fong Sheng Hao is focused on Taiwanese breakfast dishes, especially charcoal-grilled toast sandwiches. The fragrance of fresh brewed coffee and tea lingers, while around, metal plates are piled with succulent sandwiches.
Taiwanese chain Fong Sheng Hao seems to be a big deal here in Singapore. It has long queues and people rave about it. I went and tried out their TW Special Sandwich. I was very, very, very unimpres…
I love Sushi and Sashimi, but I have always been on the fence in regards to Donburi and Poke. I am not sure why, it just seems like it is all mixed together and you enjoy it almost the same way. Bu…
Very average chirashi don.
Food at Donburi King is Japanese cuisine, focused on rice bowls. Ingredients are fresh and tasty, resulting in quality of most dishes being pretty good. The menu has good variety, so repeat visits are worthwhile. Portions are large for individuals. Prices are reasonable and affordable, budget about SGD $28 per person.
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.
We had a pleasant dining experience at Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King Niku King.
Prices are not extravagant, and you do get more than a fair amount of decent food.
We tried all three styles with flavoured egg and added additional S$1.00 per portion for spicy paste for the Miso Ramen.
Yakiniku Like in Paya Lebar Quarter is a specialty yakiniku fast food restaurant for affordable Japanese BBQ. We have not managed to eat in the popular restaurant but we enjoyed a good Yakiniku Like Takeaway meal at home.
If you love a good meal of grilled meats and no frills concept, you should head down to Yakiniku Like soon.
I love yakiniku, but it's pricey. So this chain from Japan sounded promising, as they were serving cheap sets as fast food under the name Yakiniku Like (10 Paya Lebar Road #B1-28, 6970-7397).
Kanada-ya’s award-winning, flavourful pork bone broth is first boiled for 18-hours, making it rich and creamy before mixing in a secret sauce to add flavour and umami to the broth.
Kanada-Ya specialized in the authentic Tonkotsu ramen, the award-wining, rich and flavouful pork bone broth boiled for 18 hours before mixing in a secret sauce to add flavour and umami to the broth.
This is a satisfactory meal. The ramen is good. Not my top 5 favourite ramen shops in Singapore. But good enough to sate any ramen cravings.
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.
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.
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.
Aik Kee Haslet Soup may not be as well known compared to the other more popular stalls, but in my opinion, it is on par or as good.
For me, the wanton noodle is decent but does not impress.
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.
Worthy of his one precious meal for the day. Taking my cue from Vincent’s rule for recommendations, that’s when I sent a photo of our meal to several group chats on my phone.
If I am craving for a good Nasi Ayam, this will be one of my choice in Singapore.
We love the taste and texture of the marinated chicken meat.
The bak kut teh was all herbally, layered in flavours, and strong. Quite an authentic Klang style black bak kut teh. The pork ribs were tender and slightly fatty, and the tau kee and tau pok soaked up the broth very nicely. One of the best Malaysian-style bak kut teh here.
In a time when I can’t hop over to JB for my favourite bak kut teh, Leong Kee Klang Bak Kut Teh more than satisfies my cravings, with the quality of their food, and affordability.
To name a few Klang Style Bak Kut Teh in Singapore, I felt that Leong Kee's has the best taste so far even though there are better ones out there.
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.
揾到食 Wen Dao Shi – Dim Sum at Sim Avenue Aljunied
One of Singapore Top Dim Sum Restuarant
126 Tim Sum is open 24 hours a day. It is frequented by night owls since few restaurant remain open during the wee hours of the night.
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.
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 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.
