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.

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!
I got this plate of scrambled eggs with some crusty sourdough bread, and it was delicious. I devoured it all quickly, and started to wonder what their lunch and dinner was like, especially since they seemed to have a decent selection of cheese and booze. I'll have to come back soon to find out.
Not a bad plate of chai tow kway. I liked that there were some crusty caramelized bits on some of the edges.
Overall, this is a very hearty meal and a great rendition of nasi lemak!
ayam penyet - Rice was plain, not chicken rice. Meat from the chicken was a little dry.
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!
Bakalaki Greek Taverna Martin Road is the new address of this popular Greek restaurant. It is much larger than its previous Tiong Bahru home, but it looks like they have no problem filling it up. Even on a weekday.
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.
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!
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.
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.
At Tiong Bahru Yong Tao Hu, they won’t increase your stress level but forcing you to make too many decisions – you only need to choose between Yong Tao Hu Dry and Yong Tao Hu Soup.
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.
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.

Singapore Lor Mee, previously Zhen Hao Lor Mee at North Bridge Road, has relocated to Tiong Bahru Market, and still serves delicious lor mee!
It came with a substantial portion of flat yellow noodles in flavorful gooey gravy with ingredients like slices of fishcake and ngor hiang, fried fish nuggets, stewed pork belly and braised egg, serving with sambal chill, red/green chopped chillies, and minced garlic. Overall, it was not too bad though not amongst my top 3 choices.
It was a great experience to dine by the street and enjoy one of the best bak kut tehs in Singapore.
I like the balanced mild savoury sweet peppery taste and smooth viscous feel of Old Tiong Bahru Bak Kut Teh's broth.
Overall, we had a nice hearty old-fashioned meal.
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…
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.
Great for all that cornicione.
I'll still come back for another topping though.
The cafe, a chic spot bedecked in black with a pretty little greenhouse-like nook, is wonderfully cool to hang out in the blazing heat of the afternoon sun.
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!
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!
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.
While I thought well of their kailan stir fried with garlic, today's plate tasted a little diluted.
Obligatory greens of stir fried watercress with garlic. The flavour of their garlic stir fry was pretty good.
We filled the vegetable quota for the evening with kailan (芥兰) stir fried with garlic. Nice crunch from the savoury leafy greens. This was pretty good.
