As for the prawn soup, I am relieved that there is no overwhelming saccharine levels of rock sugar because that is how the prawn soup from my neighborhood tastes like.
Sometimes expectations can get way too high when you hear about a restaurant or a stall in Singapore. So I always have to temper them when I eat at a place that has been featured many times on tv o…
Although on the lighter side, it is still flavorful enough with crustacean essence and a underlying pork sweetness that does not make me feel guilty for finishing it to the last drop.
This Michelin-listed duck place (665 Buffalo Road #01-335, 6396-0969) was pretty good.
They offered a seriously deep, savoury salty and herbal braising sauce, resulting in a flavourful albeit slight thick and chewy duck, and rice that went down quickly. The soup was slightly herbal and sweet. This was traditional and good old school stuff.
I am super big on hawker centers in Singapore but it might surprise some of you that I have never tried the food in the famous tekka center ...
I’m very excited for what’s ahead for them as it’s only been a few months since they’ve opened their doors at Tekka and they’re already doing so well.
Worth a try - a better bet than random generic kopi stalls that often serve ashy concoctions nowadays.
Zhu Jiao Shu Shi's breakfast selection might not be fancy, but it more than satisfies.

I tend to choke on my bee hoon when they are too dry but not this. The texture is soft, moist and shorter in strands so it is easier to swallow.
The mutton curry in the little styrofoam bowl was nice, I like it. That yellow lump was goat fat
If you like mutton, I would recommend you to go for the mutton briyani instead of the chicken briyani.
I decided to eat with my hand but be reminded to eat with your right hand as the left one is destined for other worldly duties. I have to take the posed picture above with my left hand because the right index finger is required to press the shutter.
Boneless and skinless chicken chunks were smothered under a rich and creamy sauce.
I actually preferred my cabbage on the softer side that is why I like them better stewed than fried.
I had expected the cabbage to be on the softer side as well but I was proven wrong this time.
This plate of chicken chop noodle would be quite promising if not for the texture of the noodle. From the taste of the fried chicken to the tossing sauce, everything is outstanding by my standard.
If only the noodle is springier with a crunchy bite, this could easily be my favorite.
It’s another post for Tekka Hawker Centre as it’s impossible for me to travel all the way there just to try the supposedly legendary duck ri...
Personally, I feel there is really no right or wrong as taste is a very personal and subjective issue.
Granted, it was borderline dry in parts, and certainly wasn't as rich as a tradional ghee-fueled briyani.
Chef Bjorn and the Artichoke Singapore crew are serving up incredible Middle-Eastern fusion food and stunning cocktails, moves to River Valley
We noticed some good looking hummus and eggplant sitting in the countertop's glass case at Artichoke, so we grabbed a plate of each, along with other tasty treats like their white beans and fennel as well as a smoked falafel salad.

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.
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!
I wouldn't say no to this comfort bowl of childhood favourite. They are opened daily 9.30am to 5pm but closed on Wednesday. I bet you will feel the same that the queue is worth waiting for!
Someone had warned me :“don’t bother to try the sungei road laksa as the portion is really small nowadays and standard isn’t as great as bef...
Hawker food with long history is hard to come by in Singapore. If you have not yet tried Sungei Road Laksa, it is worth the trip to Jalan Besar for a taste of how Laksa is prepared and served in the past. I left feeling very satisfied.
Before and After - fascinating that we managed to cleaned everything up! Although the atmosphere and environment weren't as nice and comfortable as Sum Dim Sum, the dim sum here were actually pretty good. Would be back again; hopefully with my parents to try other signature dim sum at Dim Sum Haus Sg !
Dim Sum Haus in Jalan Besar. Check out their Seasonal Menu!
The Japanese dumpling, is a twist to the usual spicy wantons. Nice and of a good sized but I prefer the original sauce for that spicy kick.
Overall, it is a decent experience. If you can't get a seat at Swee Choon Tum Sum, this is always a decent option. It opens daily and till late for Friday and Saturday.
No doubt that their dim sum was freshly made with traditional recipes, there are still many competitors out there for their dim sum which can be better and worth the money spent. The time we spent in the queue did not make justice to our meal here. Perhaps, it's best to make a reservation before heading down there.
This was a satisfying birthday lunch and no doubt I would be back again! Three items deserved a re-order and they shall be the Wolfberry with Mushroom Siew Mai, the Signature Hot & Spicy Dumplings and the Signature Pandan Crispy Pork Bun!
I'm not a shareholder if anyone was suspecting. I just like their food.
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.
The Dragon Chamber provides guerrilla-style Chinese cuisine. They want to stretch the diners comfort zone serving unconventional Chinese food
Overall, I find the food and dining experience at TDC memorable. I am unable to appreciate the Szechuan influence in some dishes, however, the rest of the dishes are great.
