My Favourite Teh Halia at Tekka: Mubarak Ali Kopitiam
In my subjective opinion the best teh halia (ginger milk tea) in Singapore. I like my tea, sweet, milky, smooth, not tannic and the ginger doesn’t need to be overpowering .

Custard Buns Outside People’s Park
Didn’t have it this time, but I used to love these custard buns ($1.20) at Lau Chong Kee Mini. Look at how generous they are with the custard filling. You might find the taste a teeny bit medicinal, but I … Continue reading
