I think this is our first time at Hansang for dinner rather than lunch. We not only had that budaejjigae above, but also both kurobuta and wagyu on the grill. The service was engaging and the food was fine, but my preference is still for Go! K-BBQ, both for food and price reasons.

We returned to Tunglok Teahouse to try some Dim Sum and enjoy ourselves. It’s not Dim Sum without Har Gow, Siew Mai, Xiao Long Bao and Spinach Dumplings. All fresh and well done.
My son loves automated serving, like a robot or the conveyors at Sushiro, so we took him to Tung Lok Teahouse in Novena – he loved it. Crispy Roll with Prawn Chang Fun was nice and crispy and…
The price is very reasonable for what you get. It’s just $26.80++ per adult, and $16.80++ per child from Mondays to Thursdays, and $28.80++ per adult, and $18.80++ per child from Fridays to Sundays, as well as public holidays.
The shoyu one really kind of resembles a piping hot claypot of hokkien mee, right? Noodles are good and chewy. The charsiew is kind of average and needs improvement.
In short, it was nice, but also disorienting. The sort of feeling that makes you want some food that anchors yourself. So it’s a good thing Jurong’s got plenty such places – places like Tonkotsu Kazan.
Maji Curry is one of those places that I kinda liked enough to go back to, and yet didn't like so much to actually make it there. Well, today we went there out of convenience, and it did the job. Actually, I prefer a slightly thinner curry, but I suppose the bold and thick nature of it is exactly what makes this place stand out.
The aburi scallop sushi is rather pricey and I'd recommend the Genki sushi version where 3 hotate sushi is only about $5+.
The snacks from Tai Cheong were as we had expected. The bolo bao was rich and satisfying and egg tarts crumbly and smooth.
As the name suggests, this small chain serves Paleo food. You get one very moist and tender chicken thigh in your choice of seasoning along with two sides. No, it's nothing to go out of one's way for, but it's all very guilt-free, all while being light on the wallet.
As the name suggests, this shop specializes in horfun (10 Sinaran Drive #03-66, 6980-8287). And they do a pretty good job of it too, with very smoky rice noodles underneath, fried noodles on top for some greasy crunch, and a small kettle of (also smoky) peppery gravy that one could add at discretion so as not to drown everything. Even the plate of baby kailan was nice and smoky with just the right touch of chili. Thumbs up.
Chicken Rice Takeaway, Char Siew and Dumplings
The good thing is I liked it more than the way I described it last time, as the broth was actually delicate and savory, and the chicken was nice and moist.
In my memory of Pek Kio hawker centre, the most famous stall had to be the prawn noodle (soup) manned by a no-nonsense auntie but in my rece...
Michelin Guide Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun. If you are in Pek Kio Market & Food Centre, you will notice the few stalls that will alway have a continuous stream of queue in front of their stall and Pin Wei Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun is just one of them.
Pin Wei is selling Hong Kong Style Chee Cheong Fun that is freshly made on the spot in front of the customers' eyes.
Another lovely meat from the carving station is the Crackling Roasted Bungalow Pork Belly with prune stuffing. The sweetness from the prune stuffing provides the balance for the succulent pork belly.
They have quite a good selection of desserts but I think that the Tiramisu and Warm Chocolate Tart are the best!
My personal favourite would be the Michael Jackson in a shot glass. It consists of Soya Bean, Grass Jelly, and Longan. A small serving of nostalgia.
Restaurants for Ramadan - 21 on Rajah; Ginger @ Beach Road; IKEA Tampines Halal Restaurant, J65, Window on the Park in Orchard
Halal-certified restaurant 21 on Rajah at Days Hotel by Wyndham Singapore at Zhongshan Park has re-opened after a 20-month hiatus. It is not a moment too soon as it is just in time for our Mu…
21 on Rajah remains one of the best value-for-money buffets in town.
Ng Ah Sio BKT restaurant is one of the best known bak kut teh brands in Singapore. Its Rangoon Road BKT restaurant is also one of the tidiest. This is the place to go for Teochew style pork ribs soup in a comfortable setting.
We like the stewed pork trotter because the skin, fat and meat were tender and juicy with mild savoury sweet flavours.
Even though I am not a big fan of Bak Kut Teh, I enjoyed Ng Ah Sio Bak Teh. Personally, I think it is the best so far.
Recommended by ieatishootipost. The plate was a bit more watery and wetter than I liked, but full of smokiness, wok hei and umami. The prawn stock was really quite flavourful, while the crackling was crispy and flavourful too. The noodles were of just the right texture, with a bit of bite. Nice.
Despite this small letdown, the meal was still a solid one that I would highly recommend to anyone in the area. Prawnography is undoubtedly a must-visit spot for Hokkien mee lovers, especially for those who enjoy a variety of seafood and meat in their dishes.
Opened in 1951, Wah Kee Big Prawn Noodles has been serving their prawn noodles, which includes XXL prawns, to loyal customers for 70 years.
The noodles were a bit of a bore too, despite the greens and generous amount of crackling in there.
Wah Kee is one of the few that offers a decent rendition of dry prawn noodles with mee kia.
I get a good craving for Crispy Pork at times, and instead of Siew Yoke, I crave for Lechon.
There is only one thing you should order at Lechon Republic. It’s lechon.
The pork here was tender, juicy and fragrant, and had some nice fats accompanying. The skin was a nice flaky crisp, and full of fragrance as well. The sauce was mild and sweet, and went well with the unctuous pork.
Savouring the dishes from other region in Thailand that we were not exposed previously at One Meal Around Thailand at Baan Ying Singapore is not only a feast but an educational meal to the Thai cuisine.
Having said, we would be more keen to visit Baan Ying for its ala-carte menu soon again as we heard positive reviews of them.
The spread is decent for this price point and the dishes were adequate in variety too.
The Signature Crispy Chao Ta Bee Hoon with Seafood was really nice, crispy and dry outside, moist and flavourful inside, with serious wok hei.
Crown Prince Kitchenette is tucked away in United Square and a tad difficult to find. The JB style Fried Bee Hoon, or Chao Ta Bee Hoon, is one of its signature dishes. It wasn’t bad, crispy and wit…
Overall, the dishes are quite well done but on the salty side which we gave feedback to the chef as well. After the rebranding and revamp of the menu, I’m not sure if the dishes taste different.
