Back for the famous charcoal fired Geylang Hokkien Mee
Very messy but somehow the most messily plated meals are the yummiest in Singapore. Had satay too this time, but ordered way too much. And yes, it’s quite impossible to get a parking lot here at Lorong 29. But once … Continue reading

Best Penang Assam Laksa in Singapore: Another Visit
Somehow my post about Penang Assam Laksa garnered a lot of hits. It’s strange sometimes which posts turn out to be popular. Usually the least expected ones. Makes me happy though. Went back for another visit because when I mentioned … Continue reading

Geylang Lor 29 Hokkien Mee by Another Brother in the East
We decided to try this hokkien mee at 396 East Coast Road to see how it compares to the one in Geylang with the same name. The one I raved about recently. B tells me that it’s actually run by … Continue reading

Geylang Lorong 29: Charcoal Fried Hokkien Mee
I just had to post this as my cousin has never tried this particular and most famous Hokkien Mee before and I’m sure she will love it. I’m just being cruel and tempting her because she’s not in Singapore right … Continue reading

Ecoffee: Starbucks Knock-Off in Geylang
After the spate of fake Apple and copy cat Ikea stores in Kunming China, I was intrigued to come upon an imitation Starbucks, in our very own straight-laced Singapore, while exploring the streets of Geylang. Some googling revealed that Ecoffee … Continue reading

Tourist in my Own Country: Walking the Streets of Geylang
This red light district in Singapore is transforming. It seems like there are many authentic restaurants with cuisine from China now and the staff are also from China. Loads of people jaywalking and bicycles dangerously crossing over from one lane … Continue reading

Geylang: Beancurd
The soya beancurd was yummy, but I had a rude shock when I bit into the yu tiao (crullers which are deep fried dough) and oil squirted into my mouth. Uggh. It was probably made in the morning and left … Continue reading

Lorong 29 Geylang: Hokkien Mee
May not look very appetising, but it is. It’s straight out of the wok. Flavourful, but definitely artery clogging. I always try not to eat the pieces of lard, but some of my friends love them. The smallest portion is … Continue reading
Greenbegger Supermarket
What an unusual name for this supermarket which is right smack in the middle of Geylang. Specifically 527 Geylang Road. I do like green bean soup. It’s a kind of pea actually. This is what they use to make it. … Continue reading

Geylang: Singapore’s Red Light District Is More Famous For It’s Food
Our red light district just doesn’t seem like one. It is just slightly sleazy, surprisingly not too grimy, and seems quite safe, even at night. This place is dotted with well known coffeeshops and durian stalls. There are coffee shops … Continue reading
