While some had gained weight during the pandemic, I actually lost about eight kilograms starting from the period of circuit breaker. ...
In life, we sometimes take things for granted. I am blessed to live in an area where there are three coffee shops within a 5-minute walk; not to mention my apartment is just a short throw from Northpoint City shopping centre and Chong Pang hawker centre.
There’s really nothing to complain about the area I live in; the train station is just a stroll of about 6 minutes, there’s a supermarket be...
Not bad, soft and pillowy with a good rice fragrance and interesting fillings. The gula melaka and black sesame were both not bad – sweet, flavourful without being cloying.
The sinful durian season is once again upon us! My usual to-go stall is Ah Di in Ang Mo Kio but it’s not exactly convenient for me as I do...
Fried Porridge in Yishun? Perhaps you have already known it.
It didn't stop me from ordering the same pork lard rice with fried egg the next day too! I commented to Alex that should it be my last day alive, this unassuming pork lard rice would be amongst the dishes I would love to eat before I die.
Though such an item is special, if you were to ask me if I will purposely make a special trip down again for it, I would most answer probably not as the queue had somehow horrified me.
Steamed Whole White Eel with Black Garlic Sauce is so soft, tender and the black garlic sauce is so flavoursome that some of my dining partners are literally licking the plate clean.
For the longest time ever, I remember that the only hawker food sold at Guan Heng Cooked Food is the Singapore style carrot cake but that’s ...

my love for the lobster porridge at Orchid Live Seafood is well known among my peers and people who know me well would be aware my food reviews are hardly affected by the "environment". Taste matters more than anything.
Orchid Live Seafood is located amidst a lush green vegetable farm, and tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The soft radish cubes are fried with their home-made chili (if you opt for spiciness) and chye poh over a large skillet pan before beaten egg was added. Held together by the layer of egg, its exterior was fried to a smokey crisp without being oily.
I am keen to try the fried carrot cake with prawns next time round, so I guess I need to be back again!
The carrot cake here refers to steamed cakes made from rice flour, water and daikon (white radish, which in Chinese, is also referred to as carrot), wok-fried with eggs, garlic, chye poh (preserved radish) and other seasonings to create a hot, savoury snack.
I had a hard time finishing the broth given how porky tasting it was. Nonetheless, it's really a steal for S$7.90 and should the ramen craving strike again, i would likely go with the chef recommended tonkotsu gyokai ramen which is a mix of fish and pork broth.
Suparakki Ramen is cheap and accessible.
Though the seating area may get a bit cramped, we definitely wouldn’t mind coming back for such affordable and delectable ramen bowls.
We always see crowds at Sanook Kitchen and this time we went in. It’s a chain that has started to spring up in many malls.
Okay if there’s one thing that may not be recommended, it’s this Seafood Fried Rice with Shrimp Paste. The rice is fragrant and tasty with the shrimp paste, but it kinda felt rather ”empty” as there were but a few shreds of egg and a couple of prawns.
Only the tom yum fried rice is good. Flavourful with a nice wok hei. Well balanced of spiciness and sourness without being too heavy on one side.
Chong Pang Nasi Lemak should be a well-known nasi lemak in Yishun, especially for those deployed to Chong Pang camp.
It's a dilemma for me; to finish the chilli, i need rice but i am not going to have so much rice so late at night! p.s. the coconut milk rice was quite good but to me, my favourite is still Star Hup Lee Nasi Lemak in Yishun!
I like the kampung ambiance at Chong Pang nasi lemak.
Service here is not the friendliest, but I can see why they do have a steady stream of customers. The cozy and tranquil space makes it a great place to catchup, get some work done, or to simply just chill.
What attracted me to this cafe is that it is an open concept and you can have a waterfront view of Yishun pond park. Slow bakes cafe bakery is located at Tzu Chi Humanistic Youth Centre.
Also, with an additional $4 top-up, you can get their Breakfast Set, with your choice of toast, two soft boiled eggs, and a drink.
This fairly known laksa stall offered the mild curry type of laksa. The laksa was thick and flavourful, yet not overly rich. The gravy was balanced with just the right levels of heat and lemak, and was light enough that I slurped up all the gravy. The unique crab stick added a nice sweetness. Very nice.
There is always a long queue at the stall, so be prepared to queue up for more than 20 minutes if you want to savour the delicious bowl of laksa.
I finished the whole bowl of laksa to the last drop, though I forgot to take a photo of the empty bowl to prove it 😂
Following the huge reception of YUN NANS Stonepot Fish that drew long queues and high traffic across Singapore, the restaurant is launching a new culinary sensation inspired by the brand’s signature steam pot chicken soup. Introducing its latest addition to the menu: the rich and creamy Stonepot Chicken Soup with Pig’s Stomach (Regular: $39.80; Large: $68.80) using a premium breed of chicken.
Press Release, SgFood, yun nans, chinese new year 2023
Quite an interesting concept which is similar to steamboat, just that it is over the built-in stone pot at each table in Yun Nans Stonepot Fish. The fish is definitely the highlight for me, and there is a good variety of side dishes to complement the fish. Worth a try if you have the time to queue (or try reserving a table online) and if you are in the area.
Fried chicken wing is one of my favorite ingredients to have in nasi lemak but sadly, the one I had is scrawny and the texture on the drier side. The only consolation is the crispy batter that goes crunch with every bite.
This has got to be the cheapest epok epok I have ever bought considering the size is quite a decent one.
Residents in Yishun should be familiar with Pak Mandor Nasi Lemak at Yishun Street 61. Not only is the nasi lemak popular in the neighbourhood, it is also delicious and value for money.
Back again. Really tasty and well made foe coffeeshop dim sum.
Really nice deep fried taro dumpling, shatteringly crispy and crackling outside, yammy and soft inside with a nicely marinated fried shrimp, mushroom and chicken meat filling. Everything else looks nice too – worth a try again for their other offerings.
In a nutshell, there were some misses but the prices shall be the main motivation factor as I only paid about S$42, plus the fact I am literally just minutes' away from home. I would know what to avoid in my next visit; definitely no har gow. And the twin brothers should consider improving their ordering system!
Nonetheless, in this neighbourhood, Heng Hua Restaurant still deserves a talk as their menu is rather extensive with a good list of Authentic Heng Hua dishes we can hardly find here.
The eatery gets pretty packed during the weekends and we highly recommend calling in for reservations. Nevertheless, service here is very efficient so you will never have to wait that long for a table.
