A popular place for Greek food in Singapore, Bakalaki Greek Taverna is a large Greek restaurant in the River Valley Road / Mohamed Sultan area. Here are some of the food that we tried during a repeat visit.
Bakalaki really is better visited in a large group, when one can share all sorts of stuff, like all of this nicely grilled seafood, not to mention a whole fish that they grilled and filleted for us, following a bunch of meze. I still can't confidently say whether I prefer these guys or Blu Kouzina, but the brightly lit decor is a nice setting for a business lunch.
The space is light and airy and inviting. The food is even better!
One of the best, if not the best curry rice in Singapore, Loo’s Hainanese Curry Rice is something that you have to try at least once in your lifetime. Queues start to form very early, and the popular dishes do tend to sell out fast! So, come early to get your hands on a plate of messy goodness!
Hainanese Curry Rice in Singapore, check out Loo’s if you are in Tiong Bahru which will not disapppoint.

Tiong Bahru Lor Mee is located in Tiong Bahru Market and known for their Fish Nuggets which are in the dish. Unfortunately, for me, the gravy is pretty plain and lacked flavor. I know it has a good…
Not a bad plate of chai tow kway. I liked that there were some crusty caramelized bits on some of the edges.
Overall, being a true blue Singaporean, such simple and straight forward breakfast is nothing more than comfortable to me. I will not mind having such traditional Cantonese Porridge frequently with so many varieties around.
Perfect for cheese enthusiasts, this dish promises a delightfully cheesy experience. Additionally, the croissant I ordered was impeccably flaky and buttery.
Nice setting for French cuisine; not as formal and with elements of Balinese design. I do like the high tables and chairs although they might not be as well-liked by other diners. Oh well, it's hard to satisfy everyone!
Dishes recommended were the Southern French-style flaky pizza pissaladiere of Provence, the Alsatian tarte flambee made a la minute, and locally-sourced prawns marinated with French-Spanish influence and garlic, and more!
Really smooth fish balls and fish paste, spongy fried beancurd, and generally very simple and serviceable yong tau foo. Tasty and moist fishcake. Nice and light.
in Tiong Bahru Yong Tao Hu we get good traditional foods - Yong Tao Hu, of Hakka origin, Hainanese Kaya Toast and Teochew Bak Chor Mee.
For a good bowl of Yong Tao Hu, this stall is a must try, despite the fact that there are so many other food options in Tiong Bahru.
Tiong Bahru Bakery gives you even more reason to cheer this April with a 1-for-1 deal when you take away their Pain Au Chocolat ($3.50), or chocolate croissant, on Easter Sunday, 21 April 2019.
A favourite of mine, the Chocolate Almond Croissant ($4) was fluffy and crispy and layered and rich.
I don’t mind going back for a quiet brunch (for their croissant), but definitely not the weekends. Happy to know that they are opened on Monday – perfect!
Por Kee Eating House for Traditional & Delicious Cze Char Dishes.
i think i only came this place once like 20+ to 30yrs ago. it is certainly a well known and popular zi char place.
The overall standards at Por Kee is above average for sure. If you are looking for a good zi char place that is centrally located, Por Kee makes a good option and is worth a try.
One of the Stalls to try if you are Tiong Bahru Food Centre.

Singapore Lor Mee, previously Zhen Hao Lor Mee at North Bridge Road, has relocated to Tiong Bahru Market, and still serves delicious lor mee!
A food blog from a Singapore-based traveler
The restaurant serves contemporary European cuisine, catering to a gluten-free crowd and natural wines and cocktails.
老师父火炭粥 Old Shifu Charcoal Porridge serves traditional charcoal-brewed porridge & other affordable dishes in air-conditioned comfort.
Recommended by 8 Days, by Ah Chiang of Ah Chiang’s Porridge. The Cantonese style pork ball porridge was smooth and creamy with only a bit of rice grains, light on the palate, with fresh, bouncy and savoury meatballs, as per what they described on their walls.
Fans of Ah Chiang’s Porridge will be happy to hear that the ex-chef has opened up a new eatery in Tiong Bahru! Read more.
If you’re looking for a cooler, cheaper alternative to your typical Cafe cheeseburger in Tiong Bahru, Skirt & Dirt is the place to be! They also have another outlet in Bukit Timah that’s closed on Tuesdays.
Skirt & Dirt is a burger concept that differentiates itself by serving up unique burgers.
I'd rather go to Hammee's, but I am kinda curious about the duck confit burger from these guys.
If you are looking for a affordable tasty meal, you should try Mr & Mrs Nasi Lemak at 243 Cantonment Road. At its new location you can find other stalls with different cuisines. So you can enjoy your yummy nasi lemak while your family or friends can tuck into other dishes which they may prefer.
The chicken wing was moist inside and crispy outside with a balanced flavour, and the moist otah was standard stuff, slightly above average. Not bad.
Previously at French Road, Mr and Mrs Nasi Lemak serves up a mean bowl of Nasi Lemak, with other fusion items on the menu!
I'd highly recommend a splurge on their yakitori and dons, just once and you could be sold too.
A superb recommendation by the waitress, the Bincho Style Grilled Octopus ($45), sided by a capsicum sauce, was perfectly cooked and delicious on its own.
13 reviews of Bincho at Hua Bee "I won't repeat what others have said about the unique nature of this place. If you have not been here before, you should! Dinner prices can however be a bit steep. Lunch sets are however pretty good value, so I'll…
The Hokkien fried rice was good with their cut chilli's though.
Bee hoon tasted like it was braised in a stock similar to pork trotter bee hoon. This one was lightly flavoured with fermented black beans.
This rendition without sauce was pretty good. Nice chew.
I have to say the prawn mee at Hong Heng is pretty good and satisfying.
They normally sell out before the stated closing time of 8pm, sometimes even by late lunch. So go early to avoid disappointment.
I would recommend getting the $5 portion, which should be just enough for a big eater. Otherwise, they have $3 and $4 portions as well!
There is no lack of food options in Tiong Bahru Food Centre and The Coco Rice is worth a try if you need to satisfy your nasi lemak cravings. The portion is quite huge and it is personally too much for me.
A reader wrote to me recently to recommend a new yet super good nasi lemak at Tiong Bahru Hawker Centre and since I was in the vicinity last...
Overall, this is a very hearty meal and a great rendition of nasi lemak!
It is a good spot for ice cream with the family, waffles with friends or just to experience the slo
The interior of Creamier’s outlet at Tiong Bahru is more down-to-earth, compared to the other outlets at Toa Payoh and Gillman Barracks.
A return visit to Tiong Bahru Market & Food Centre for 不见天.
One of my favourite char siew in Singapore.
The stall has a very good policy. It allows handicap elders, pregant ladies and those carrying infants to skip the queue.
Simple old school Fish Ball Noodles with Yong Tau Fu Soup.
The noodles were a bit stodgy, but the sauce was marvellous – sweet, savoury, tomatoey, slightly vinegary and fragrant from the pork lard. Nice 古早味 sauce straight from my childhood. The fishballs were bouncy though generic and the fish cakes moist and large. Quite nice.
It’s definitely something that I’ll have again the next time I’m at Tiong Bahru Market!
Overall, enjoyed the items at Drips Bakery Cafe alot and look forward to visiting when Circuit Breaker Phase 2 sets in.
Drips Café in Tiong Poh Road specializes in tarts but it has a good range of cakes & pastries, artisanal coffee & craft bears and local & Western mains.
