Over at Paper Rice Vietnamese Kitchen, they use a secret recipe for the egg froth to produce the creamy froth, as well as imported Vietnamese milk to complement the dark coffee.
Service at Paper Rice Vietnamese Kitchen is passable, and uniquely Singaporean.
It had a nice char-grilled aroma and skin that went nicely with a dip in that brown herbal salt mixture, making for a decent deal at only S$18.80 (US$13.90).

Old World Bakuteh is a kopitiam stall in Yishun selling their specialty fried porridge, together with a Teochew-style bak kut teh.
Old World Fried Porridge's famous signature dish is equalled by its own Braised Mee Sua.
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!
White Tiffin at Changi City Point offers traditional local specialties with a contemporary twist of Peranakan influence including Nasi Lemak
Guess where I am? Hint: the above photo, which was quite similar to a posting I made in November 2020. Yes, I am back once again to The Whit...
It was a casual remark; I registered my indifference towards Peranakan food except for their desserts and a friend had to proudly express hi...
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.
I've been meaning to try this pizza shop for a while, and finally had a chance today when I had to go to Singapore Expo (1 Changi Business Park Crescent #01-19).

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.
Stella Seaside Lounge is the ideal retreat location! A seaside lounge with great views, sea breeze, cocktails, and friends along Changi Beach’s
We have been here a few times to Stella Bar and now it has an uber-cool new look, new name, a new menu in 2022 at Stella Seaside Lounge, so how could we not
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.
A Beautiful Day Café at PLQ offers an English tea room ambiance while serving a diverse range of multi-cultural dishes.
I’m quite skeptical about IG-worthy cafes—they’re usually overpriced, and the food isn’t that great.

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.
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!
Ice Cream Skool also helps to organize corporate events and birthday parties. I’m sure your guests will walk away happy, like we did!
We thought Ice Cream Skool offers decent savoury food items and above average desserts great for especially the kids in the area.
Nevertheless, if you are craving for homemade gelato and waffle, you can always check them out if you are staying at East side.
Finding the large Sotong interesting, most probably I will make a return for its Nasi Lemak. Do remember to be early as most of the time they do sold out before the stated closing hours.
As a whole, I enjoyed every aspect of the experience at Lawa Bintang. The hour-long queue was not uncomfortable and the food proved that it was a worthwhile wait. Although the price of each dish is more expensive than traditional nasi lemak, the large portion and unique ingredient would make your splurge justified.
The location of this outlet is, unfortunately, quite ulu, so get ready to walk quite a distance before you can spot this hidden gem.
For veggie lovers, there is a meat-free option too. Pies can be delivered frozen too by request.
For those who prefer a more classic version of shepherd’s pie, there’s also their Baked Lamb Special ($43.90).
It was not a very interesting dish for me. I think it was better when this item was first launched in 2018 – see our post Ikea Lotus Leaf Rice – curiosity makes me fat. There is however a positive observation – they have kept the price constant at $6.80 since 2018!

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.
