#14. Simple Joys: trying something new on the menu & enjoying it
This was truly scrumptious. I am a creature of habit and always have the chilli vinaigrette dumpling noodles here. Usually when I choose something new I always regret it. But this time I was pleasantly surprised. Both the broth and … Continue reading

Din Tai Fung Marina Bay Sands for the First Time
We’ve been to the other outlets many times and actually we prefer the paradise group for Shanghainese type cuisine – Xiao Long Bao and handmade noodles. Our opinion was confirmed once again that the Paradise group’s offering is superior. Not … Continue reading

I Couldn’t Get Enough of the Special Chilli at Pu Tien (Jewel)
We ended up here because the other two China restaurant chains we tried required reservations or a very long wait. Have been to Pu Tien years before and thought the food was of high quality. Our usual fare is hawker … Continue reading

Our Favourite Dim Sum at Crystal Jade Suntec City Branch
This was truly satisfying after a disappointing experience at Canton Paradise. I feel that the Paradise group does a superior La Mian or handmade noodles and spicy vinegrette dumplings, but for Cantonese food, especially Dim Sum, Crystal Jade can’t be … Continue reading

Dian Xiao Er at VivoCity
Pretty good meal as we haven’t had roast herbal duck in a while. The chilli always makes any meal better and I had 2 types so was very happy.

Char Siew Rice at Kim Heng Roasted Meat

Love the Wok Hei of this San Lau Hor Fun at Ang Mo Kio
My second time at Hong Kong Street Zhen Ji. It’s famous for the Sliced Fish Hor Fun. The Wok Hei is out of this world. The Hor Fun (flat rice noodles) and Ngor Hiang cost S$23 altogether. My partner thinks … Continue reading

The yellow bean hum chim peng was piping hot today and so perfectly good. The salty sweet combo is just heaven to this carb addict. Today there was a young guy at the stall and a lady perhaps the wife … Continue reading

Best Spicy Handmade Noodles
Whenever we get a craving for handmade noodles, Lenu has the consistency that doesn’t disappoint. They didn’t charge for hot water which is great. I like the water almost boiling hot, cos it cools down very fast with the air … Continue reading

Favourite Noodles: Kok Kee Wanton Mee
A truly satisfying lunch for S$4.50. Pity you can’t use the CDC Vouchers here, but I think they don’t need the extra business perhaps and that scheme is probably to help hawkers not on our radar yet. This was at … Continue reading

Nice View of Sentosa at Paradise Dynasty Vivo Branch
Had the usual at Paradise Dynasty. Always a long queue outside but we find that a whole section is not open and there are lots of empty seats within. Not enough staff or a tactic to give the perception that … Continue reading

London Fat Duck
London Fat Duck is at Scotts Square. This is the best char siew (B added that it’s a very good cut and well marbled) I’ve had although it was very expensive at $14.80. The pepper duck polo buns were very … Continue reading
