In this video, we headed over to Amoy Street Food Centre to do a $100 hawker food challenge! I’m joined by my Taiwanese friend @艾莉愛吃 Ali Eats which is also ...
A food blog from a Singapore-based traveler
Every item was good, with the only exception being the noodles having a slight kee or alkaline flavour, although this was made up for by the outstanding sauce made of dried shrimps and kelp.
The noodles and all components continued to be good. The sauce was addictive, with some pork lard and sweet prawn flavour, while the noodles were really qq. The pork belly was especially tender and unctuous. The only drawback was the onsen egg, which was a bit too watery and flavourless. And I missed the prawn wrapped with potato strips. But otherwise still very good and nice.

I enjoyed A Noodle Story's deliciously bold re-interpretation of wanton mee and ramen.
Russian dishes are definitely not something most Singaporeans are familiar with and if you are curious about the cuisine, this restaurant is one to have a glimpse of the common street food dishes of the country without breaking the bank.
Dumpling.ru also serves up a very good Kvass ($5.90), almost like a non-alcoholic lager.
I enjoyed this experience and my impression of Russian food is miles apart from what I originally had and do pay this place a visit if you'd like a different dining experience!

Taking advantage of a staycation at Singapore’s central business district, we decided to check out Amoy Street Food Centre, which re-opened ...
I could see why; it was crispy and tasty on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. But I'm not likely to go back, as the sambal was sweet. So was that crunchy topping on the rice, as well as the salad dressing. I mean, I still ate most of it, but I prefer sambal that isn't sweet.
A really instagrammable cafe. The Korean Dalgona Coffee was bitter, but creamy and smooth. The caramel crisps were a very nice accompaniment.
Overall, the place is really nice and picturesque to hang out with friends and they have some very interesting coffee and tea choices especially ones made with dalgona candy.
With regards to their offerings, both the beverages and the flavours of the scones are hit-or-miss in my opinion. I would order the Dalgona Latte and Sweet Potato Scone again if I were to go back there.
Recommended by Johor Kaki, and many others before him. The noodles were soft and the sauce was really plentiful, flavourful and strong without being overwhelming – ketchup sweet, vinegary, savoury and lardy. Sweeter and more tangy than many others. The fishballs were standard springy ones with good fish flavour, minced pork fresh and savoury, liver crunchy, mushrooms juicy and earthy. The soup was also porky, rich and tasty. Nice.
A nice traditional comfort meal at an affordable price in the heart of Singapore's Central Business District.
I liked it. The mee pok had a nice texture and were well tossed that it didn't clump together.
I got their beef hor fun, which was really quite good too, with the flat rice noodles soft, charred and full of wok hei, beef tender and flavourful, and the sauce peppery and full of tau cheo or black bean sauce fragrance, giving a real lift to the dish.
This is one good Zi Char spot in the CBD, and it will not be my last visit for sure.
I came here with the intention to get the sliced fish option for their black bean sauce hor fun.
Interestingly, unlike some fish soups from other stalls, my tummy didn't feel that this was a heavy, burp-inducive meal. It was satisfying and i can imagine craving for the fish and prawn soup from Piao Ji Fish Porridge on a rainy day.
I felt that for the quality and quantity, the price paid for was reasonable.
The stall doesn't offer any options for fried fish slices. Just freshly broiled in soup.
Overall, I feel they do have very good meat dishes and the cuts provided for BBQ are also of good quality as I saw the next table with their premium beef cuts. The bossam was also great although not the best since I have tried better ones elsewhere. I would say they have a nice quiet environment for good BBQ meats which is away from the rest of the crowd
Not bad at all.
If you are used to those rich and milky fish soup, you would find their clear, perhaps plain.
Perhaps it’s because my expectations were too high, or maybe it’s because I know I can simply visit the nearby Mr Batang Fish or Piao Ji Fish Porridge stall for a similar fish soup dish (without queuing for half an hour or more).
For such a madly good cause, Mad Roaster serves up mad excellent brioche and mad atas kopi all at a mad friendly price tag.
Personally, I’m hard pressed to choose my favourite, and am pleased I got myself all three.
For the mains, the Caciucco alla Livornese, a Livorno-style stew brimming with sweet prawns, delicate scallops, flaky white fish, fat mussels, and springy squid, was sweet and sumptuous. A must-try.
Overall, Spice & Rice brings a fresh take on a dish that we already know all too well.
We went on a Sunday to have lunch and that was probably the last Sunday that they will stay open. They have recently announced on their Face...
The nasi lemak at Spice & Rice is slightly pricier than what you might expect at a hawker centre, but I find myself willing to pay that little bit extra for the generous portions, and quality of the food here.
The first thing I noticed was that the gravy was viscous but not starchy.
The lor or gravy is simmered for many hours with spices, meat stock, egg whites and corn starch to give it a viscous consistency.
The meal was overall very light in nature, right down to the dessert. Sure it left us full but not bursting at the seams. One of those places that deserves at least a visit in this lifetime to check off fugu!
We tried the Zeitaku Set Course Menu ($168/pax, min 2 pax) which comprises of 9 dishes. The set allows us to try both their specialty - Torafugu and Snow Crab. I have also indicated its ala carte pricing for those that do not want to go for their set course meal.
During weekday, it is also worth checking out Guenpin for their lunch menu options such as Deep-fried Puffer Fish Set ($38), and Salmon Set ($32) which comes with rice, salad, soup and ice cream.
I’ll definitely come down to sample them.
Grab a variety of bowls to share, so you can have the best of everything! We really enjoyed the steaming hot dishes that are cooked a la minute by the friendly couple.
I’m not one who believes in waiting for food, ‘cause ain’t nobody’s rumbling belly got time for that. But with Pepper Bowl’s tasty bowls of carbs and meat, you might just spot me in the lunch queue someday, with one hand holding my grumbling tummy and the other impatiently scrolling through Instagram.
For those who have yet to try Mazni’s Family, why not give this tidy Muslim stall a try? Don’t forget to add their sambal chili to your dishes!
So next time when you’re in the area, and want to have some yummy and really affordable donburi, head to Kinobe.
One bowl will satisfy even the most ravenous of bellies and is definitely worth the price tag.
To my surprise, the broth here was a bit on the sweet side, but I still finished it to the last drop given that it was deep and savory.
