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...

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...
I was issued a challenge by a seasoned makankaki that I should not proclaim any chicken to be the "world's best" before tasting the chicken from Kampung Chicken Eating House. So I had to find out for myself just how good a chicken can get. I am not an experienced Kampung Chicken man, ...

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...

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...

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...

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...
