I admit I don’t know much about Filipino food. But I do know I like crispy skin Pork and that’s what Lechon is all about. Don Lechon is a hidden gem. Located at Grandlink Square near Paya Lebar MRT…
All in all, what they may be perceived to be lacking in, is compensated with their congeniality.
Food at Don Lechon is Filipino cuisine, focusing on that much-loved ingredient from the Philippines; Lechon.
Tuck Shop Singapore is a café-bar on Guillemard Road. Community Bar by the Riverside where you assemble over good beer, food & company
Dishes were satisfying and best of all, eaten in the comfort of the air conditioned room....I mean don't we all crave some form of comfort when the heat gets too much and cravings for local hawker food gets too strong?
Honey Night - Itaewon Class Inspired Restaurant
Honey Night is a hidden gem in the Paya Lebar area and the prices are slightly lower than other Korean restaurants.
There are a couple more food options in the vicinity. Soi 72 (Thai) and Honey Night (Korea) are on our list for the next visit.
As I do not like and do not drink coffee, I can’t comment on the drinks even though the word “coffee” is in their name. Food wise though, it is worth trying if this location works for you!
The plain exterior hides a modern looking cafe. Brawn & Brains Coffee was packed when we were there on a weekend.
Brawn and Brains is located at the former Singapore Badminton Hall and it is of walk-able distance from Mountbatten and Dakota MRT Station. The interior is bright and spacious.
While the place is slightly out of the way, it’s worth crossing the vibrant streets of Geylang to get to this chic restaurant.
I’m definitely excited to visit Haru during lunch time to see what the lunch menu has to offer, even though the place is quite inaccessible if you don’t drive!
Haru is probably a good spot that serves substantially sized fare for them to recharge after a good workout.
It will be more worth it if you sit outdoors as the al fresco vibes would be more enjoyable.
Vernacular Coffee is a new café in the former Singapore Badminton Hall, serving pastries and single origin coffee from neighbouring counties.
There is definitely much thought put into the design of Hey Kee and if you are looking for a strong Hong Kong theme Zichar spot, this is one to check out.
Quite average. Quite mushy, although silky, and the sauce was lightly savoury and tasty.
I started patronizing Old Airport Road Hawker Centre only after I secured my driving license back in year 2005 and back then; there were jus...
Whitley Road Big Prawn Noodle at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre and char siew rice from Ah Yee Hong Kong Roasted were the yummy local delights that we ended up eating when we were in the Mountbatten MRT Station vicinity recently.
I love Sushi and Sashimi, but I have always been on the fence in regards to Donburi and Poke. I am not sure why, it just seems like it is all mixed together and you enjoy it almost the same way. Bu…
Very average chirashi don.
Food at Donburi King is Japanese cuisine, focused on rice bowls. Ingredients are fresh and tasty, resulting in quality of most dishes being pretty good. The menu has good variety, so repeat visits are worthwhile. Portions are large for individuals. Prices are reasonable and affordable, budget about SGD $28 per person.
Banh Mi Thit in Geylang has gotten a good reputation for the best Banh Mi in town. I tried a variety of them to check it out. Let me start off by saying the bread is absolutely amazing.
The coffee was pre-brewed, but I didn't mind as it was fast and dirt cheap. Yeah, I'll come back here again.
Yeah, I'll come back here again.
Kanada-ya’s award-winning, flavourful pork bone broth is first boiled for 18-hours, making it rich and creamy before mixing in a secret sauce to add flavour and umami to the broth.
Kanada-Ya specialized in the authentic Tonkotsu ramen, the award-wining, rich and flavouful pork bone broth boiled for 18 hours before mixing in a secret sauce to add flavour and umami to the broth.
This is a satisfactory meal. The ramen is good. Not my top 5 favourite ramen shops in Singapore. But good enough to sate any ramen cravings.
If you’re looking for a little more variety, the same coffeeshop has a branch of the famous Dunman Char Siew Wanton Mee (QQ noodles & super-spicy chilli sauce!) and an awesome fried oyster omelet (see above). Tao Kee Fried Oyster is a couple of stalls down from Swee Guan Hokkien Mee and was a brilliant discovery by my family – we thoroughly enjoyed the version with a little starch added. It was extra crispy and not gluey or gloopy. So good, we ordered two $10 rounds of the addictive dish served with lots of fresh coriander and a tangy chilli sauce!
Still, I’m a little unsure on whether I would return for this pricey Hokkien mee but there’s no doubt that this is one of the better renditions that you can find in Singapore.
Swee Guan Hokkien Mee impresses me with its strong charcoal flavour and delicious noodles, and that itself is worth returning.
L32 Handmade Noodle is still one of my favourites as they remind me of my childhood memories.L32 Handmade Noodle
Despite that the wait and limited car park lots still remains the same, I still don't mind visiting them once in a while to get my handmade Noodle cravings fix!
L32 Handmade Noodles scores excellently on the noodle, ikan bilis, and soup fronts.
Worthy of his one precious meal for the day. Taking my cue from Vincent’s rule for recommendations, that’s when I sent a photo of our meal to several group chats on my phone.
If I am craving for a good Nasi Ayam, this will be one of my choice in Singapore.
We love the taste and texture of the marinated chicken meat.
While the set lunches are decently price, an ala carte meal would be pricey for a cafe. Expect to spend close to $50 per pax for a meal over the weekend.
Service at Cafe Melba, in their Goodman Arts Centre outlet, is good. Staff are proactive and friendly, quickly greeting and seating guests.
Two visits later and I can finally conclude. A nice place to lay back and chill but it’s not a place I say you can keep returning regularly even though it has a nice Aussie vibe. Food wise I say it’s marginal for the price. It was hearty, good for sharing but I was expecting if I’m going to pay that much.
The bak kut teh was all herbally, layered in flavours, and strong. Quite an authentic Klang style black bak kut teh. The pork ribs were tender and slightly fatty, and the tau kee and tau pok soaked up the broth very nicely. One of the best Malaysian-style bak kut teh here.
In a time when I can’t hop over to JB for my favourite bak kut teh, Leong Kee Klang Bak Kut Teh more than satisfies my cravings, with the quality of their food, and affordability.
To name a few Klang Style Bak Kut Teh in Singapore, I felt that Leong Kee's has the best taste so far even though there are better ones out there.
The catfish was a bit tough though, while the rest of the dish was quite serviceable. What I liked was they stir fried this in front of you.
My verdict for my first Vietnamese BBQ was non-conclusive. Meat marination was almost the same throughout but it didn't elicit that lip-smacking good sensation, unlike my virgin experiences with Korean and Thai BBQ, which had been raving and craving for the next few months.

The crab was really fresh and sweet, and the white pepper was really interesting and refreshing. The JB San Lou Chao Ta Bee Hoon really took me back to JB, soft, flavourful and with wok hei. There’s a good reason for the Michelin recommendation and the crowd here.
I would've preferred the other version, but this was still salty, savory, and spicy enough to be fun to nibble on with some rice on a Sunday afternoon.
JB Ah Meng is running a limited menu on GrabFood right now.
