While walking around Smith Street Food Centre sourcing for food, we were intrigued by chicken rice stall with a odd name, so we decided to give it a try. Why called Maria? Because the owner who turned head chef, Mdm Siew, wanted to pay tribute to her sworn sister Maria Cordero (肥媽瑪俐亞)...

However, the boy did give me some small treats by bringing me to Seng Bee Hainanese Chicken Rice and Xin Mei Congee for lunch last Saturday. Having stayed in Ang Mo Kio for almost 3 decades, I have never ate at Seng Bee Hainanese Chicken Rice and Xin Mei Congee before. After they were...

Knowing that I have just finished my surgery and is on soft food diet, lovely Chiew Mei said she will bake a soft banana cake for me. Frankly, I thought she was just kidding. Moreover, she was sick yesterday so I thought she probably won't have the energy to bake. But but but, she dro...
有人喜欢“古早”式，炒得黑黑菜头粿，有人喜欢金白色的菜头粿，可是，不论“黑”的，还是“白”的，只要好吃，就是好菜头粿，不怕没人欣赏！ 目前，在市面上的菜头粿有两种炒法，一种是传统式的，另一种是现代式。所谓传统式的就是把粿炒至小型的长方形块状，而现代式的则是一大块一大块。 “松洲萝卜糕”的菜头粿是属于传统式的。摊主邱宝凤和丈夫陈锦龙炒粿具有20多年的经验，从邱爸爸手中接过生意后，更是把它发扬光大。每到午餐或晚餐时间，摊位前必大排场龙。 品尝“松洲萝卜糕”的菜头粿，首先发觉它香味诱人，金黄色的鸡蛋表层，飘着热腾腾的蛋香。吃起来，菜头粿皮脆肉软，口感果然丰富，而且也不油...
