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.

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.
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 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.
Perfectly runny eggs. Full marks for the ambience, although it is a relatively new and renovated coffeeshop. Packed on a weekend morning – omg.
The traditional Singapore toast set here is worth returning.
If you’re looking for a reasonably-priced and traditional local breakfast, this is the place for you.
The wife and I had a nice breakfast date at Yong He. We heard the place had a nice reputation for Taiwanese breakfast items so we tried it out, not once, but twice! You Tiao – a staple. Fresh…
Craving for Taiwanese Yong He You Tiao? Why not head over here to try out some of the Taiwanese dishes? We will not purposely make a trip back here unless we are either nearby or really hungry in the night as it is open 24 hours.

Best Braised Duck Rice
That "premium" plate above featured the widest variety of items available: duck meat, bean sprouts, braised peanuts, braised egg, chili fishcakes, and beancurd, all covered in their dark sauce.
With the Circuit Breaker taking place in Singapore, it’s all about takeaway and delivery. As such, Circuit Breaker food photos ain’t that great because it’s all delivery and you can’t be bothered to transfer food to style it. So screw it! It’s about the food anyway!!!
With such a vast variety of food suitable for any meal of the day, it’s no wonder Mongkok Dim Sum is always packed!
The quality and variety of the dim sum here are enough to convince me to come back.
I crave for Fried Chicken at times and I like clean simple tastes. Korean is too saucy sometimes, KFC is not edible for me, spicy is killing the flavor of the chicken, etc., so there are simple options that I enjoy.
Arnold’s Fried Chicken is a place where we can forget our table manners and our diet plan and just enjoy tender, juicy, crunchy and, probably, fatty fried chicken.
It’s a great place to get your fried chicken fix without breaking the bank!
Sik Wai Sin is a restaurant I considered legendary, as I heard of its big name when I transitioned from "eat to live" to "live to eat" yet never had a chance to try its signature Cantonese dishes as the queue was said to be bad with limited choices on the menu.
While I found the place charmingly old-school, the Hubs thought the food relatively middling.
The restaurant gets really busy during peak hours, so make sure you call to make reservations to avoid disappointment.
Eminent Frog Porridge keeps a stock of live frogs (田鸡) in the kitchen for maximum freshness.
You won’t have to worry about the heat at Emo Snacks, as the aircon is turned on to the max. The space is small, but didn’t feel claustrophobic, with tables well spaced apart.
主打台湾小吃如卤肉饭、蚵仔面线、盐酥鸡、炸鸡排、珍珠奶茶等等,回味在台湾开心吃喝的日子。
For the price i paid, including the mala chicken rice; it didn't burn a hole in my pocket. Food was decent (the mala chicken rice's spiciness was seriously no joke), service was friendly and i got to become an angel.
Besides the variety of noodle dishes on the menu, the stall also sells other stuff such as Dumpling Soup and fried snacks.
Thai food at ChaTraMue Flagship Store in Paya Lebar Quarter did not disappoint. It was good authentic Thai street food at affordable prices.
Sin Huat's legendary crab bee hoon is a must try.
This hotpot restaurant is surely a spot I would think of especially when it’s sweater weather or when I’m craving something hearty to warm my stomach.
Congee Legend is taking comfort food to a whole new level!
It is another excellent supper place for those staying in the East.
