Kay Lee at Suntec: Kinda Pathetic Portions and Not As Fantastic as the Original

Nasi Padang at Minang Again
I bugged B to bring us to Arab Street. Love this area. Although the ordering system at Minang can be pretty messy, according to B who does the queuing and ordering, they did help us bring the plates upstairs in … Continue reading

Dempsey Road: Samy’s Curry for another Yummy Banana Leaf Experience
Been here countless number of times, enticed by the very tasty South Indian curries and the laid back green backdrop. I’d rather have curry in these open surroundings than in an air-conditioned cafe. I always think, if Singapore’s temperature fell … Continue reading

Another Delicious Nasi Padang Meal at Sabar Menanti
My second visit to Sebar Mananti at Kandahar Street. Sebar Menanti means to wait patiently in Malay, but we didn’t have to wait for very long at all. The green chicken korma and the tempeh with french beans and tofu … Continue reading

My Favourite Nasi Briyani: Yakader
So far this is my absolute top choice for briyani. A hot and stuffy area at Tekka Market in Little India. It’s totally worth enduring the heat. Most people go for the famous Alauddin, but I prefer Yakader. The rice … Continue reading
Malay Cuisine at Geylang Serai Market
Have been hankering for Malay style Mee Goreng. Not Indian style with loads of egg and colouring or Chinese style which has seafood and loads of ingredients, but the original mee goreng that I used to get in school. Simple … Continue reading

Nasi Padang at Warong M Nasir

Browsing the Shelves at Meidi-ya and Kinokuniya Feels Like Being in Japan

Don at Liang Court: Fried Pork Cutlet Half Bowl and Mini Sanuki Udon Set
Liang Court is one of my favourite malls in Singapore because it seems like little Japan. It’s not near an MRT (subway) so it doesn’t get too crowded. It was S$14 for the set at Don, which consists of fried … Continue reading
