I thought this was a good cheeseburger this time round, moist and smoky, with the sourness of the pickles and the slightly tart sauce coming through. Satisfying.
Homegrown burger stall Hammee’s Burgers is back from their brief hiatus with new and improved tweaks to their yummy burgers! Read more.
Fried chicken had a nice crisp turmeric batter that sealed in the juices in the meat.
The rice was very light though, not oily or flavourful enough I thought. I had to add some of that superbly potent, spicy and slightly bitter chilli to the rice, to add flavour. Been wanting to try this for some time, since it had always been a wonder to me that a business had been named after my primary school mate’s name. The stallowners were friendly enough, despite what I have heard.
I wouldn't mind eating at Henry's. But I won't miss it if I never had a chance again. That's how it was.
Roasted chicken with a really good chilli sauce and soy sauce dressing that brings back memories!
The familiar taste and the sweet Black Carrot Cake style has fit my liking. Although its a one man show, the orders were quick to serve. I will be back again.
The carrot cake was nice and serviceable, with good sweetness, char and wok hei, and good soft texture with some crispy parts. The only thing missing was the caramelisation and chao ta of the egg, and that perhaps it was a bit too sweet.
We had all four this time round and never felt the surfeit from sweetness.
Smooth, creamy, syrupy and somewhat coconut milky green bean soup, full of flavours of yore or 古早味.
Ingredients seem to have lessened through out the years. Or perhaps it's just inconsistency - I don't eat from this stall enough to know.
Ah Kee Beef Noodle is definitely one to visit for a total beefy extravaganza. Their portions are plentiful, the taste on point and just one bowl makes for a robust, hearty, deeply-satisfying meal.
I definitely wouldn't mind eating again if I'm ever back.
The portions at Huang Da Fu are generous, ingredients used are fresh, kept me full and most importantly, tastes good.
The wantons and dumplings were served together in a bowl of soup. Both tasted just fine though not particularly memorable.
The highlight of the dish ought to be the springy noodle that come with a delectable bite.
still good. lots of ingredients like 3 wantons and 10 thin slices of char siew..both were good.
I vote for the Lu Rou Fan if you cannot decide what to get!
Checking out New Lucky Claypot Rice 新鸿运瓦煲饭which was listed in the Michelin guide. The chicken claypot rice was cooked to order, thus there was a long wait.
New Lucky Claypot Rice at Holland Village serves a mean claypot, but avoid the soups.
The dining frenzy passed quickly and everything quietened down around 8pm when the wave of customers finished their dinner.
243 Holland Avenue, Singapore 278977, open Mon to Sun 11am to 2:30pm, 5:30 to 9:30pm
日式炸猪排是这里的主打之一,黑豚炸猪排(Kurobuta Rosu Katsu, $17.50)厚片里脊肉,外层裹上日本面包屑,完美油炸,外层酥脆爽口,里层鲜美多汁,搭配清爽包菜丝去油解腻。
Their grilled fishes were quite nicely done and there's a kaisen chahan that was unexpectedly peppery. The latter wasn't a bad thing.
Margaret Drive Sin Kee Chicken Rice, one of the top chicken rice stalls from the Hawkers.
The rice was I thought the gold standard of chicken rice – moist, oily, flavourful and fragrant with chicken stock and oil, garlic, onions and lemongrass etc.
Sin Kee is a well-known name among chicken rice stalls in Singapore, mainly serving poached chicken rice Cantonese-style.
Oh I tried their Mocha too. Coffee is not bad.

Food at Tai Cheong Bakery is classic Hong Kong tea house cuisine, focusing on snack, desserts, and light bites.
Order this to try as we saw most of the table ordering it! Turn out it was good. I can taste the truffle in every bite and the cheese was well spreaded.
Overall, Tai Cheong Bakery definitely served the comfort food that the Hong Kongers have on daily basis. It is good, but don't expect extraordinary stuff. We'll definitely make a return visit, just not very keen on spending too much time lining up. Cheers!!
The miso bowl looked a deeper brown than the regular bowl.
Overall, a decent and interesting bowls. I think there were some aspects that lowered the dining experience.
You can taste that his duck ramen is not merely by putting different components together but each process from the soup, duck and noodle is carefully thought through and probably many months of taste test until the right formula is obtained.
Burnt Ends is one of the hottest restaurants at Dempsey, Singapore. Reservations for the main dining hall open a month in advance and are quickly snapped up.
The Place Getting a table at Burnt Ends is no easy feat. I managed to check out the new Burnt Ends space in Dempsey (they have relocated from their previous Teck Lim Road outlet), all thanks to a f…
This was Burnt Ends' take on congee, and it was as delicious as it looked, especially given not just that gloriously orange egg yolk but also the wonderfully savory maitake mushroom. I was also particularly happy with his very tender chicken necks and hearts too.
The homeliness of the cuisine was felt through the dish. Though the price may be considered pricey, their portion made justice to what we were paying for. It is hardly that we come across a good authentic Italian place like this. I don't mind looking into other items in the menu if I'm back here again.
The ribeye steak with red wine sauce turned out as well as the fish. Together with the cod, it was an enjoyable western food takeaway lunch. A change from the bentos and zi char food that we tend to gravitate towards.
The lasagne was good but nothing to rave about. The taste was authentic but we think it could have done better with more meat. We would definitely try the 1-for-1 La Nonna takeaway promotion again. It is a good deal if you are looking for unpretentious Italian fare at reasonable prices. Maybe next time round we would order the La Nonna pizza again but try another pasta.
Monki 台灣小吃部 was previously at Holland Village and they have relocated to The Star Vista. Perhaps due to the restrictions in travelling, the urge and the constant search for Taiwanese Food seem unstoppable.
Very complex, tasty, moist and generous braised meat, with a strong sweet flavour. 肥瘦参半的肉燥. Nice bowl.
While this place serves up a mean plate of lu rou fan, its portion would have me think twice about coming back for it. That being said, the snowflake desserts are worth trying.
So apparently this is a well-known stall from Holland Close, but I had never heard of them until I came across a pop-up of theirs next to Marina Bay Sands today.
If Holland Close is out of the way for you, their e-commerce stall is still up and running, with exclusive dishes such as Original Tom Yum Collagen Soup for you to enjoy in the comfort of your own home.
really good! hum fresh sweet & very clean.
The fish was quite fresh, tasty and creamy. Not bad.
If there are not further constrains, the restaurants can consider selling some hot side dishes.
Umi Nami proved to be a simple, no-frills Japanese eatery. Their prices are low, but so was their generosity.
