Skinny Chef dishes out delicious Western food at an affordable price, and I’ll pay them a visit if I happen to be in Clementi.
Skinny Chef is definitely worth a trip down to Clementi. Come in the evening for some good food and a round of drinks!
I’d usually turn to other conventional picks like nasi ayam panggang and gado gado whenever I crave Indonesian food. But, Mee Bagus has introduced the humble Mee Ayam dish into the mix with their version, and I’m grateful to them for that.
The Mee Bagus Special aka minced chicken noodles was very good, flavourful and meaty, just missing the pork lard fragrance. I think the nice decor even made the food taste nicer.
For me, the noodles here were really tasty, eggy and springy, and coated with a sauce that was nice and fragrant with pork lard and shallots, with a hint of piquant ketchup. The fishballs were unremarkable though. Overall quite nice.
It is also my favourite place to go for a satisfying cha siew pau.
Though the stall is new, I find that the braised taste was better than average. Though they name their Business as One Star Braised Duck, I will be very happy to award them more than just one star here.
The roast pork or sio bak was very good with crispy crackling. The char siew was not bad with sweetness and a bit of caramelisation. The duck was so so though; I thought it was insufficiently flavoured.
Comparing the standard of ramen, Ramen Taisho served quality and tasty Ramen in the heartlands. Pricing wise, it is also relatively reasonable for the standard that we are paying for.
This was quite a good ramen. The gyokai tonkotsu ramen had a good pork, powdered fish and seafood flavour, with a very drinkable smoky soup that I finished, al dente ramen, perfect onsen egg, and thick and tasty cha shu.
Just like a relic in the museum, hawker culture anchors our identity to a distant past, constantly reminding us of our shared heritage.

Their Ube or Purple Yam ice cream was really nice, carrying a nice sweetness and the fragrance of the yam, with some creaminess and thickness in texture and flavour, a bit like orh nee. Good stuff.
The unique concept of this ice cream cafe, along with friendly staff, good food, and dessert got me vowing to return.
I find that the set meal can be made a better offer with a drink included. Nevertheless, the set meal is still value for money.
The dessert of the day was a scoop of ice-cream with a dollop of cream. Simple but good enough for a simple lunch costing us a total of $26.20 (including service charge).
Buttercake n Cream, is definitely somewhere I would recommend if you're hunting for cafes in West Singapore.
Dessert was an olive oil cake flavoured with citrus and rosemary. Not bad. Rather small though. Nice with the cream.
At Summer Hill, the Roasted Chicken ($25 for half, $45 for whole) is presented in a more modest, down-to-earth manner, but still absolutely scrumptious.
It is an ok-good meal but it isn’t as mindblowing as what others have reported and I won’t travel more than 20 minutes for it.
Soon Lee Porridge specializes in Hainanese porridge and offers just three options on their menu. Hainanese porridge is often grainier and thicker than Cantonese or Teochew porridge.
Soon Lee Porridge serves up tasty bowls of porridge at wallet-friendly prices, and the long queues and waiting times at any time of the day are a testament to that.
We tried a bowl of porridge without the egg, and I must say that it had more flavour.
deepfried big intestines done very well..tasty
The wah tan hor fun was really solid – silky smooth with wok hei, thick gravy, nice eggy fragrance and fresh accompanying ingredients like prawns and sliced fish.
The expansive menu means that you have to return multiple times to try all of Hoy Yong’s one-of-a-kind dishes!
Service was impeccable and the food standard was better than average. The experience in Chin Huat Live Seafood certainly gave every one of us a good impression.
Chin Huat Live Seafood 镇发活海鲜 is the first live seafood restaurant in Singapore. According to its website, this took place in 1995 when the restaurant allowed diners to select their catch of choice directly from the tank
Tried their coconut pudding which was more of a coconut milk jelly. Not bad but I prefer the clearer variety made with just the juice like the one at Ping's.
The Bonito Chashu Ramen was a bit too light and subtle for me, without any flavours jumping out. Will probably have to get the Tonkotsu next time out.

I didn't dislike it but I did feel it had too much sugar.
All in all the food was pretty decent but the price leans towards the steep side.
Meat platters were the rage right before COVID-19 struck us early this year and I always wonder if it’s really worth the deal; i.e. would it...
Not bad. The chicken was really well grilled – tender, savoury and smoky with a bit of chao ta. The onsen egg was of good standard too. It seems they are serious about their grills, although the bowl tasted just a bit too healthy for me.
The quality of meat is definitely noteworthy, allowing for decadent and flavourful mains.
This place was pretty good (41 Sunset Way #01-02, 6463-0069). It's an upscale version of a local cafe, serving a menu similar to what you'd find at Toast Box or Kopifellas, like kopi and toast with some cakes and noodles.

Service was friendly and it has a good ambiance if you want to hide away from the crowd.

But the best pay attention to how each ingredient is prepared.
It’s definitely heartening seeing young hawkers take up the wok and dedicate their time and efforts to dishing out good ol’ hawker favourites.
Carrot cake here seems to have gotten better. Some charred crispiness with a good amount of crisp chye poh and garlic fragrance mixed in. Not overly black and sweet.
The bread was good too, but cake took the, well, cake.
Leaving the best for last, Fredo’s Yuzu Meringue Tart was our favourite of the lot due to its ability to leave a balanced sweet and sour note after every bite.
