If you’re looking for a compelling argument to give pig liver a try, there’s a hawker stall you need to visit—Jin Xi Lai (Mui Siong) Minced Meat Noodle.
A food blog from a Singapore-based traveler
Jin Xi Lai (Mui Siong) Minced Meat Noodle, situated in Yi He Eating House, boasts a BCM recipe that’s more than 50 years old!
My favourite bowl of Pork Porridge in Singapore.
I love how every component in this bowl of porridge is coming together beautifully not just in terms of flavors but textures as well.
This was something I would eat very often if I stayed nearby, if not for the wait and the heat. My favourite porridge in Singapore, together with Soon Lee at Clementi.
I can never resist a good fried chicken wing and my resolve for a diet always melts whenever I walk past a fried chicken shop.
Just like what they mentioned via words of mouth, the taste was traditionally good. No doubt they are famous, I still find that there are tastier fried chicken wings in Singapore. Nonetheless, the pricing of the chicken rice was perfectly reasonable.

All in all, we enjoyed both cakes a lot even though they were a tad too sweet so if you’re here with your friends, get a few slices to share otherwise it can get really sickly after a while.
I did find the prices a bit exorbitant, but a percentage of their sales goes to Muhammadiyah Home Welfare.
Totally packed, even with reservations we still had to wait for a table
I'd still rather go to Usman though.
Haleem from Bismillah Biryani. This one wasn't as citrusy as Usman's, perhaps because one was supposed to squeeze the lime on themselves. But those awesome fried shallots on top made up for it, helping me to wolf this delicious paste down in seconds.
Oh man, that was delicious. After just one bite I had to interrupt the lunch conversation today just to say how amazing this was.
So there you have it, Makan Kakis, for a vegetarian feast of comforting Indian snacks, you really can’t go wrong with a restaurant that has been feeding Singaporean foodies for generations, right from the heart of Little India!
The meals here are pocket-friendly and filling too. No wonder you can see the constant queues forming outside the restaurant. It is a nice place to enjoy a good Indian meal with decent pricing and service.

Johor Road Boon Kee Pork Porridge is one of the oldest and most popular pork porridge stalls in Singapore.
The former Carona Fried Chicken. As recommended by Miss Tam Chiak and Makan Places Lost and Found. Fragrant and soft rice. Perfectly fried, tender, juicy and tasty well-seasoned chicken wings, with nice crispy skin. Very nice, and clearly popular, with a constant stream of customers.
Overall, I really like their okonomiyaki as they reminded me of the tasty ones from Osaka with just the right flavour and texture. The server also cooked the food very well and is a pleasant sight to watch while waiting for your meal. For fans of okonomiyaki, do make a booking and try them here.
Never underestimate Japanese street food, for they can fill you up as well as a bowl of ramen can.
Premaas was our lunch destination today, and I was fortunate to be able to taste a number of dishes, in particular that red kingfish curry in the upper right corner, as well as the potent pepper in the chicken next to it, all mopped up by a few light and fluffy appam.
Premaas is a Keralan restaurant that has been suggested on several occasions, and I finally made it there tonight (6 Dalhousie Lane, 6392-3644). I focused on their fish, like those sardines above, which were not only light, crispy, and tasty, but also very affordable at just S$4 (US$3) for that plate.
For coffee aficionados who adore the robust, medium-bodied blends that come from Tiong Hoe Speciality Coffee, you will be happy to know that The Wired Monkey sources their blends from them.
It could be a different yet comfortable café experience with its colour-coordinated beanbags and cushions in between, plus you could shift the sliding tables.
The Wired Monkey is a good addition to the Dunlop Street neighbourhood; yet another spot that provides for a more vibrant dining environment with a unique setting for hungry folks and cafe-hoppers alike to visit at least once.
Again, passable milky and slightly woody and medium-bodied latte, with some acidity.
Main Street Commissary is a new speciality coffee shop located right in the heart of Little India at 81 Rowell Road.
One of the reasons is the ambience, I think, it’s a barefoot restaurant; you have to leave your shoes at the entrance of the stairs, and walk up to the second floor (so don’t wear your expensive shoes, wait kanna stolen).
Overall another great dinner with Eve and MN. The company was great and so were the food. We all come to a conclusion that the meat dishes here are more worth trying than their seafood.
That being said, The Great Mischief is certainly an interesting dining destination in the area.
Food at ABC Nasi Kandar Restaurant is focused on Malay and Indian cuisines, specialising in Nasi Kandar, Tandoori dishes, and curries. Taste and quality is, more often than not, above average and consistent, with few missteps.
Ambience at ABC Nasi Kandar Restaurant is modern functional.
Ignoring the final disappointment, I must say the flavors at Kotuwa are interesting and unique.
Overall Kotuwa was an interesting culinary journey with the exotic flavours of Sri Lanka and South Asia, transformed and elevated by Chef and his team into what we could enjoy.
personally, I'd prefer a more subtle one, but it worked.
it was a great Arabic Middle Eastern food. Very tasty, flavourful and pocket friendly. The winners of the night are the Hummus, the chicken & the garlic sauce. We’ll definitely come back to try the Shawarma and the rest of the dishes. Cheers!!
Meatsmith is a good restaurant in Little India which I would be back again for its other meats. That said, I would drag along a few more people to enjoy a more varied dishes.
Don't overlook their citrus-y green mango salsa which was a good counter to all the meat and spices.
I loved every bit of my meal and am totally raring to return.
I guess the good thing about living in a small city state is that it does not take very long to get to good eating places; almost every eatery/restaurant is a short (by short, I mean a minimum of 40 minutes) bus or train ride away! Both Ama and I had a craving for briyani,…
All in all, though they may be somewhat of a hidden find, I have to say that the selections in their buffet spread is pretty impressive.
Personally felt the service and quality of food, at affordable prices, is enough to warrant return visits to Korean Fusion BBQ.
