Disappointed by Ramen at Chabuton
Had a disappointing meal at Star Vista’s Chabuton. Found the soup too salty and the smell of the pork too overpowering. Perhaps I am just not used to this version (I’ve read that Ramen in Japan tends to be more … Continue reading

Best Rojak in Singapore
It’s not my favourite food (more like my mum’s), but if I am to have it I want the best which can be found at Airport Road Hawker Centre. They have a queue system in place (like in a clinic). … Continue reading

Wan Tan Mee at Chinatown
My top pick for local noodles is wan tan mee. Even the not so great versions will satisfy me. Had this near the Chee Chong Fun stall at the Chinatown Complex Market. It’s pretty old style. I’m still hankering for … Continue reading

Paradise Dynasty at Vivo City: Spicy Handmade Noodles
After their alleged not paying for gas scandal in the newspapers I was hoping this chain wouldn’t close. They do serve good food even though as many have pointed out, service is lacking. For us it was polite but they … Continue reading

New Mall: East Point Mall next to Simei MRT
There’s a new mall near the Changi General Hospital and next to Simei MRT called East Point Mall. It’s actually an old mall that has been renovated. I wasn’t that impressed by the food options but perhaps I should give … Continue reading
Dining at Star Vista: Itacho Sushi
This place gets popular after office hours. But I found it a bit too claustrophobic being shoved between to other couples. Too close quarters to chat comfortably, even with lowered voices. This is my woe about the Singapore dining scene … Continue reading

Outside People’s Park Complex: Authentic Snacks from China
If I was not already so full from the Sichuan noodles I would have had these snacks which are really good. I especially like the pancake filled with minced pork and really spicy chilli oil. You can spot the long … Continue reading

New Mall: HillV2
I do like this new mall which is near the Hillview estate in Upper Bukit Timah, as it’s spacious, isolated (not near an MRT which means less chance of crowds) and more a food place than a shopping place which … Continue reading

Beo Crescent Hainanese Curry Rice
Had to try this after reading about it here and at other food blogs like Chin Chai Jiak and The Hungry Bunny. The pork chops are extra crispy but I still have to say my favourite is the one at … Continue reading

Maxwell Road Hainanese Curry Rice
My favourite Hainanese Curry Rice is the one at Maxwell Road Hawker Centre. Curry Rice is an acquired taste which I acquired only over the last five years or so. Now I find myself craving for it. Yes, it does … Continue reading

Newly Renovated Bedok Interchange Hawker Centre

Freshly Made Appam at Changi Airport
The food court at Terminal 3 at Changi Airport has been revamped since my last visit several months ago. They have freshly made appam at the local snacks stall. It’s not the best I’ve had (like the middle to be … Continue reading

Spicy Peanut Noodle Soup
Been craving for handmade noodles, so had some Dan Dan Mian at Paradise Dynasty at Westgate Mall. This is not as spicy as it looks due to the peanut base. I originally thought that this was a chain from China … Continue reading

Westgate Mall is Open Too (directory picks)
I was truly impressed by this mall. It’s pretty classy and reminded me of malls in town. It’s smack in the middle with malls JEM on one side and JCube on the other. I was most impressed by Isetan and … Continue reading

Bedok Mall is Open (my pick of the directory of shops & dining places)
Bedok Mall is open way earlier than expected. I like that it’s connected to the Bedok MRT but other than Wingstop (chicken wing chain from USA that hasn’t crossed my radar) nothing else seemed that exciting. For food I would … Continue reading

5 Reasons Why I Would Return to ARC: 1. Relatively Empty (don’t have to squeeze with other folks when you dine) 2. Free Parking on weekends and on Weekdays if you spend $30 (no need to rush off and with … Continue reading

Smoothie King – A Great Place to Have Wraps
I find smoothies in general a bit too sweet and I was shocked by the calorie counts. I was quite impressed by the spicy grilled chicken wrap I had (cost S$5.90) and I will be returning for the wraps. The … Continue reading
Returned for Great Vietnamese Food at Joo Chiat

Hainanese Curry Rice at Maxwell Road Hawker Centre
As it’s so crowded here we decided to have packed rice and then look for a table. In a way it made the food tastier. Somehow the curry infused with the rice. It might look like a mess to some … Continue reading
