If you love Nasi Padang, I am sure you would have at least heard of Nasi Padang River Valley. This place is probably one of the most well known places for Nasi Padang in Singapore and it is quite a known fact that one of their regular customers is the Sultan of Brunei who would tarpau...
Claypots. They are just not meant for hawkers to use. Have you ever notice what the hawkers do with their claypots? They always reinforce it with some kind of metal wire. Why? Because most of them are cracked. Most of the hawkers who sell Claypot rice tell me that they usually discard...
Amuse Bouche: Truffle Goat Cheese Creme with Cassis Mustard Keropok I have never heard anyone who is reminiscing about the past complain that it took so long to get to the present. Everyone will remark about how time flies. I guess that when you get older, time seems to fly faster sin...
Actually the best Teochew muay can be found in Chinatown Complex, I think Uncle Smart can vouch for that, is Tew Chew Street Teochew Porridge. The Teochew plain porridge itself is worth a whole review & the hae bi hiam is really very good with a smidgen of lime. Cincalok pork and heng...
Here's my April 2009, albeit cheong-hei, review cum update. This is my first visit. I2.30am and feeling peckish. Fuelled with the adrenalin of checking out a blog-worthy makan venue tucked away in the seedier part of town at midnight and a rumbling tummy, hey, who could resist? Iam: L...

We all enjoy Nasi Padang, but how much do we actually know about it? I would be the first to admit that I am guilty of calling any stall that sells rice with Malay style curry dishes Nasi Padang without much thought. But that is not entirely inaccurate as many of the dishes that are c...
Ever seen black Muah Chee before? Well, I don't blame you if you haven't cos this is one of the fast disappearing foods in Singapore made by the last artisanal Muah Chee man in town! The Muah Chee man told me that the Black Muah Chee is only served during the Chinese New Year period b...
When I was a kid, Chinese Tea at the Dim Sum was simply Chinese Tea. Nobody talks about Oolong, Pu Erh or Xiang Pian (Jasmine). Nowadays, people are getting more knowledgeable about Chinese Tea and more and more restaurants are stocking boutique Chinese Teas to pair with different Dim...
Berkshire Pork (Kurobuta) Bak Kwa I have always wondered how Bak Kwa is made. So when Fragrance invited me to write about their newly launched Berkshire (aka Kurobuta) Pork Bak Kwa, I jumped on the opportunity to do a factory tour to see how raw pork is transformed into the tasty sliv...
If you are wondering what the future of Nasi Lemak looks like, then head towards Upper Thomson and you might just catch a glimpse of its evolutionary path in Singapore. I don't know why it has taken so long for someone to do this, but eating Nasi Lemak in a laid back place with custom...
Our kaki, Taukwa as been eating at this stall since he was only a Tauhoo and he loves it so much that as long as the stall is still around, he will continue to patronize the stall until he becomes a Taukee. After my first taste of the Satay sauce, I can see why. The gravy is very addi...

Whenever I eat at this stall my family always order the soup form. I used to complain that this uncle is very stingy with his soup but later I realised that his soup is 'power' (Essence of Beef).The biggest surprise today is to discover that his dry form is even better!.The gravy is f...
It has been a while since I wrote about Roti Prata. It's not because I have started making my own Roti Prata at home , but just that I haven't come across any prata shop that excited me enough to write about. Sure, I have noticed a lot of Prata Cafes opening up in shopping centres and...

I don't know about you, but I have never been big on New Year resolutions. In fact, I never make them, or even if I did, they are usually frivolous, non-committal and gets forgotten before the end of the first week. This year however, I think I found a resolution worth making. On 2 Ja...

I first came across with the stall at Upper Boon Keng food center some two years ago. However, the stall's name was not Ma Li Ya Virgin Chicken then. What stroke me then was the beautiful colour of the chicken hung up at the stall and the white chef uniform the lady boss wore.I though...
I'm gonna have my birthday dinner at this place coming Sat evening! :D The other Korean restaurant I been to was too expensive (in Joo Chiat area, near the 24-hour Heng Heng bak kut teh place), so I'm thrilled to know a cheaper alternative :) Will post again after I tried the food her...
Why is Christmas a paradox? Well, one way to define paradox is "a situation which (if true) defies logic or reason" . So what is it about Christmas that defies logic? According to the video, the paradox of Christmas is the fact that God came to earth, not in pomp and splendor but as a...
This Cze Char place is famous for the White Bee Hoon! White Bee Hoon? Never heard of White Bee Hoon? Well, I don't blame you, because it isn't quite a recognized Singapore dish yet. I was told that there are several places in town that serves White Bee Hoon, but this one is by far the...
I'm a Singaporean living abroad, and visit New Ubin quite frequently when I am here, always bringing friends and family. I have had two very disappointing experiences with Mr Pang. While the food is mostly good, when the restuarant screws up, Mr Pang becomes dismissive, failing to und...
The opening of the Circle Line has made many great eateries more accessible. This time round, I brought a group of foodies to one of my favourite Peranakan Restaurant, Spice Peranakan which is conveniently located in the Biopolis which is a short walk from Buona Vista station. I have ...
SCS Butter went back twice in a month to this restaurant and was raving about their marinated Wagyu Beef. For those of you who know him, this means that the place has got a certain Shui Zun (lit: water level ie standard) cos SCS really does like his food. Tender slivers of Wagyu Beef ...
I believe the tau suan is good. Looking at it can kinda tell. And Uncle Smart finished his when I was at my 4th mouth of my Pulut Hitam? However am not much of a tau suan person so tried their Pulut Hitam. No wonder it wasn't featured in this blog~ Hah. Not enough glutinous rice,I cou...
Roti Canai along Transfer Road This famous Roti Canai stall which is basically set up along the side of an old abandoned warehouse is just the thing that makes your heart pump a little faster -- the thought of eating an authentic no-nonsense Roti Canai that is designed to fill your tu...
We came, we ate and probably depleted the ocean of 1 tonne of crabs. Well, at least a few hundred kilos. Many thanks to all our readers who turned up for Crab Fest 2 last Friday! It was a blast as we had over 200 crabbers fulfilling their annual crab quota. I am sure no one left with ...
What comes to mind when you mention Pulau Ubin? Probably images of Kampong houses, kids running around in singlets and catching spiders right? I guess that is the kind of image that a restaurant called New Ubin Seafood wants to project in the mind of the potential customer and they ha...
