That certainly makes for another incentive to pay Zhen Xin another visit. But you’ll have to get there early – Ben said they usually sell out quite quickly, sometimes by 11am. “They close by 1pm but it’s still pretty crazy hours. I guess it’s really tiring to be a hawker, ready at 4am. They just do it out of passion, getting the food to people.”
There are a few things I find hard to resist not ordering whenever I see them in hawker centres, even if I was super full as I was this morn...

I will definitely recommend people staying in the area to drop by if you haven't to check out their F&B.
The prices are pretty high, especially considering it is located at an ulu location, but the food is great, head and shoulders above other cafes’. Definitely appreciate the effort put into the food. An enjoyable experience.
I have fond memories of Thomson Plaza ; from the Old Yaohan department store, the KFC outlet that served fried chicken on porcelain plates w...
The uni and prawn were creamy and rich, although the uni was just slightly fishy and metallic. The various fish tasted strangely uniform though, and didn’t have much of their own flavour. The toro was even a bit mushy. Odd that this was so popular.
Valuable & Affordable Japanese Food Dining. If you love value for money bowls of Chirashi, you can head to Omote at level 3 of Thomson Plaza. Reservation in advance will be advisable if you want to skip the long snaky queue of being "Walk-in" customers. I tried calling in a few times to reserve but there was not much luck several times but luckily after a few tries in weeks, I manage to get myself and my friends a table.
The crab omelette was generously filled with fresh crab, which was really sweet, tender and qq. The eggs was fluffy inside and had a bit of a char outside, although slightly greasy. The most premium crab omelette I have eaten so far, but without any crispiness on the outside.
Authentic and homely Thai Food at Upper Thomson Road not to be missed.
Since we can’t pop over to the streets of Bangkok now, this is in fact one of the best that I can find now.
I hope i am not gloating here as i did have a delicious main compared to my peers! Given the friendly staff, the chillax environment (both inside and outside the restaurant) and the yummy Basque burnt cheesecake, there's a high chance i would be back!
All in all, it was still an enjoyable meal. Super satisfied with my cheeseburger as always – that’s what I come to GRUB for.
The spiciness was one that was quite debatable and we went through several versions of it.
will certainly come again if nearby.
so overall the dishes were pretty ok la…
A good zhi char place with many well executed dishes and an excellent rendition of Singapore chili crab. Pricing is competitive too.
Whoa, this little corner stand was pretty darned good (505 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8 #01-2668). That bánh mì dặc biệt above was filled with a bazillion cuts of meat and then garnished with scallion oil to give it some earthiness and sweetness. Admittedly, I still prefer the spicier lighter bite of my usual Viet9, but I'd be happy to eat here if there is no line.
The vibe here was seriously Vietnamese, complete with the low tables and stools outside. The baguette was crispy outside and soft and airy inside, with a nice layering of flavours from various cold cuts, vegetables, pate, mayo, spreads and sauces. The whole package was tender, fresh and hearty, with savoury umami sweetness. Really nice and comparable with those you could get in Vietnam.
Authentic Vietnamese experience; low table with stools! Apparently, such arrangements are normal in Vietnam and many were on the pavements next to roads where dust and smoke are common companions.
Rahim Muslim Food takes it to a whole other level with its Extra Special Mee Rebus that is packed with indulgent ingredients.
Imagine thick, chunky, peanut sauce cascading over thick, smooth sweet potato gravy, blanketing boiled yellow noodles. These were noodles that took me beyond happy to joy unlimited.
Most customers add extra chicken onto their plate, may be worth a try, but I could barely finish this. The noodles were a tad over cooked as well though.
It's a fact that I am seldom impressed with cafe food so when a friend suggested dinner at Columbus Coffee Co; I was hesitant yet didn't want to sound rude. To me, what's the worst that could happen, except to prove my point?
With the experience of both Atlas and Lunar that are success, we are sure Columbus Coffee Co will be another impressive cafe though we also feel that some of the food there are rooms for improvement. Coffee without doubt continues to be excellent.
We were also pretty satisfied with how the dishes tastes while pushing the boundaries of cafe fare with innovative and creative use of ingredients that are well thought out.
Overall, Plum Village is the place to go if you want to experience Hakka food in Singapore. The food is tasty, pocket friendly but cooked with heart. We enjoy all the dishes here and we hope to dine here again before they close. Cheers!!
Plum Village Hakka Restaurant Review (梅村酒家)Upper Thomson Singapore with pictures of menu, abacus seeds, yong tau fu, braised pork ...
The food has that rustic home cook feel to it and the place just oozes with old school vibes.
Recommended by Johor Kaki. The Pork Leg Bi Tai Mak was really smooth, slippery and qq in a vinegary and spicy sauce, the meat topping was strong and savoury, and the trotters were tender and lightly braised. Satisfying in terms of the strong flavours.
I went with the best-selling Mushroom Minced Pork Noodles. It includes fish balls, fishcake, minced pork, and braised mushrooms.
Shu Heng Bi Tai Mak definitely has my stamp of approval! I suppose I can now be a little more patient when it comes to waiting for the time I can go back to JB again, since I can get a good bowl of Johor bi tai mak here!
This small chain of Italian restaurants has had several outlets around the island for some time.
PocoLoco might just be the best place to visit if you’ll like to have authentic Italian food without breaking the bank.
Truly a hidden gem at pocket-friendly prices.

Surprised myself with my recent trip to Nam Kee. Will be returning again for its comforting food, and glad that little has changed since.
The food's not bad, the meat's fine, tender with some soy seasoning. The rice could be better but the soup's not bad even though some might find it oily.
Old school and good tasting, with small fresh shrimps, tender pork slices and qq fishcakes. The soup was nice and balanced – clear, sweet, slightly peppery, with the flavours of pork and prawn.
Three Sisters Prawn Noodle at Mayflower Market is unassuming. The queue is average for a good stall and the market itself is not so big.

First Culinary is located at ITE in Ang Mo Kio and it’s not exactly what you expect to find at a educational institution.
if i come again i would take the fishmaw, KL charsiew, chef sauce pork ribs, hesitate about the roast duck, ok with garoupa meesua. maybe try the roast pork and the toman fillet dish.
very good lunch good food S$96nett for 4pax, and a great time with good friends and bros.
The spiciness is also customizable up to 3 levels so non-spicy eaters can enjoy this too.
Continuing my adventures at Upper Thomson road, here's tom yum mama!!
Overall, I was impressed by the quality and taste of the food given their prices.
A good brunch menu & very good crafted coffee make Habitat Coffee @ King George’s Ave one of the best cafes to visit in the Lavender area.
They're super famous as I was put on their waiting list when I was there on a weekend afternoon. The place is cramped and small but their food was awesome! This is really a place for you to dine and go and not a place for you to chill and relax as it's noisy!

Anticipating my enjoyment, especially since I prefer my Hokkien mee to be moist, akin to this one which, though slightly more lubricated, maintains a non-clumpy texture with a visible oil coating.
A hidden gem found in Ang Mo Kio Central! Head on down to treat yourself to a deliciously smoky plate of char kway teow. Read more.
This was a seriously greasy and smoky char kway teow, with a balanced sweet soy sauce, savoury and garlicky flavour, coupled with a very solid wok hei.
It’s no secret I miss travelling to Thailand and I believe many people right here in Singapore feel the same way too although the general co...
Overall, very shiok to eat. 😋
The real star is the texture of the trotter itself, though. The meat is barely holding together, so thoroughly braised, while skin and fat alike have an enticing wobble without any of the gumminess that often happens when skin is braised, releasing collagens.
I was all ready to blog about this particular char kway teow stall at 724 AMK Central Food Centre that I just patronized yesterday but decid...
This no-brand hokkien mee stall (which also offered carrot cake and fried oyster) was different; I was drawn to the aroma of just fried hokkien mee and decided there and then that I must have a plate! Hawker food might be affordable but it's easy to over-indulge!
One look and it already worked up my appetite! The noodles were in a darker shade without me even asking for extra sweet sauce and most importantly, it had a wet, saucy consistency. Oh la la, I can't wait to eat it!
