Despite the limelight being shined on hawker culture in Singapore, it’s difficult to come across new hawker stores that are serving up local classics.
Surely our muslim friends would be pleased to hear that it is also MUIS halal-certified! No wonder diners were swooping in even before lunchtime!
Saap Saap? Not quite, but passable as a convenient and fuss-free place to eat at Our Tampines Hub.
This was an unexpectedly good find. The lor mee came with a crispy and fragrant fried yam roll and very flavourful and slightly herbal braising sauce, with quite a lot of depth.
I’ll definitely return eagerly if I happen to be in the area.
If you haven’t visited Tampines Hub, this is a good chance to pop by and explore the East side of our little red dot.
The menu is pretty group-oriented, with lots of vast meat platters and mixed grills, but there’s also plenty for the lone diner – including, to my surprise, chicken fried steak. It’s not called that here, but that’s what it is – steak, pounded thin, breaded and deep fried.
Ambience at Keng Eng Kee Seafood is casual and functional. The simple furnishings and warm lights are moderately acceptable, but the place is usually fully booked and bustling.
It is about time KEK Seafood opens another outlet in addition to Bukit Merah and I am just glad it happened in the east. The dishes I tried are all consistently good, and this remains one of the best Zichar restaurants in Singapore for me.
Keng Eng Kee Seafood is one of the best zi-char restaurants in Singapore. I am so happy that they are now in the East. Looks like I am going to be a regular there!
I told ya I'd be back. This time I went for something called kabsa above. I'm not entirely sure how it differs from their mandi plate, but nonetheless I cleared it all quickly, especially since the rice wasn't as mushy as last time, and that little chili pepper packed some heat.
Here's another eastside place that I've been meaning to try (300 Tampines Avenue 5 #01-01A). It's run by a gentleman from Saudi Arabia, and as the name suggests, specializes in mandi, which I nearly went for until I saw the maqlubah section and figured that I try that instead given that it came with eggplant and potatoes.
Jin Hock Seafood in Tampines sells a variety of unique zichar dishes, adding a twist to classic dishes. Must try the duo hor fun!
Service at Jin Hock Seafood Restaurant, regardless of outlet, still retains a friendly heartland vibe. Staff converse and take orders in Singlish, demonstrating decent product knowledge by recommending orders and describing dishes.
The dishes we tried at Jin Hock Seafood were tasty, with a creative twist, making it an interesting place to to bring friends and family to for a casual get-together.
It has been such a long time since I have been to Tampines Round Market and in particular, Teo Kee.
I left the place thinking about dabao-ing a whole bunch of ribs for a small gathering, or maybe just for myself.
The mee pok though nicely cooked, it did not have much sauce underneath the pile of noodles thus it was a bit dry.
Ambience at Three's A Crowd is cozy and modern.
From the mere fraction of their treats I got to taste during this visit, I’m certainly dropping by again to tick more off the list if I’m ever in the area.

This was possibly one of the best indian rojaks I’ve ever tried.
MeatHouse is a popular Halal certified steakhouse and burger joint, famous for their competitively priced signature tomahawk steaks.
We went back to Century Square recently to The MeatHouse by 18 Chefs, started by by Chef Benny Teo and the rest of the amazing team.
Looking for Kolo Mee in Singapore? Well stop looking because we have found the best Kolo Mee in the whole of Singapore that is incredible!
I did not eat enough to attest its authenticity but it actually tasted not too bad.
When it comes to culinary adventures, our journey through Tampines was nothing short of a gastronomic delight. One of the highlights of our visit was the charming stall, Jofa Meepok, where their signature minced meat noodles left a lasting impression with their unique combination of ingredients that set our taste buds tingling.
Albeit not as intense in flavour, JOFA Mee Pok’s style of bak chor mee is a very pleasant change from the norm thanks to their good execution of ingredients. Tampines is a bit of a distance for me but I’m definitely heading to JOFA Mee Pok whenever I’m in the area!
MediumRare could have been my number one go-to restaurant for satisfying my meat cravings.
a place that would work well for a convenient hangout in the heartlands for wallet-friendly steaks of a decent quality that corresponds well with the price.
A group of penguins is called "Huddle". The concept here is to have your friends over and gather at Tipsy Penguin. And of course, who can forget about alcohol when it's called "TIPSY" penguin. They have a variety of alcohol from draft beer, mocktails, shots, soju, red and white wine, sparkling, whiskey and house pour such as gin, vodka, tequila, etc.
This was proper Hainanese porridge, with a grainy texture, well flavoured and savoury porky porridge, and fairly generous, fresh, tender and well marinated pork balls and sliced pork in the porridge. Very nice.
Popular among the East people, Chai Chee Pork Porridge
Honestly, I will still prefer the latter and Sing Heng Kee in terms of the old school taste if we were to compare among their pork porridge.
