Brand New Lee Kum Kee Seafood XO Sauce and a Stir Fried Prawns with XO Sauce Recipe

XO sauce is a spicy salty seafood sauce commonly used in Cantonese cuisine and is also a popular choice of condiment to go with dim sum. Some of the best XO sauces I ever had were from Super Star Seafood Restaurant 鴻星海鮮酒家 in Hong Kong and Rabbit Brand Seafood Delicacies at Circular Road, Singapore. XO […]

Weekend Seafood Dinner Buffet @ J65, Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore

One year ago, this restaurant was still known as Cafebiz. It was where my family and I would often go for weekend high tea when I was a teen. Today, it has been renamed as J65 which is inspired by the Singapore international dialling code. This vibrant all-day dining restaurant located at the lobby level […]

Tak Po Dim Sum Restaurant @ Smith Street, Chinatown

Hong Kong Style Dim Sum is one of my favourite weekend breakfast or brunch food. It’s just so satisfying to indulge in a bowl of hot comforting porridge (it has to be century egg one haha) with a variety of steamed or fried snacks. Makes me hungry now I’m thinking about it, lol. G and […]

Canton-i @ City Square, Johor Bahru

Since my last visit to Dragon-i where I had a pretty satisfying dinner with the family, the husband and I had been waiting for an opportunity to come back to try its sister restaurant, Canton-i. While Dragon-i offers Shanghainese specialties like xiao long bao and la mian, Canton-i specialises in Hong Kong/Cantonese dishes like wontons, roast duck, barbecued […]

[No Longer Available] Teochew Porridge Buffet @ Gim Tim Restaurant

Update February 2023: Gim Tim is no longer offering this Teochew Porridge Buffet. Whenever I crave for a porridge meal, I would head to either Quality Hotel Marlow or Orchard Grand Court for their porridge buffet as I like their variety of dishes. When I heard that one of my favourite Chinese restaurants in Ang […]

Hong Heng Beef Noodle Soup and Laksa @ Kebun Baru Food Centre

Like many foodies out there, the husband and I sometimes face what’s commonly known as a ‘first world problem’ because we always don’t know what to eat even though there is a huge hawker centre in our neighbourhood and several coffee shops too. To me, I guess it’s a happy problem because it spurs me on […]

Hong Ji Claypot Bak Kut Teh 宏记药材肉骨茶 @ Ang Mo Kio Ave 4

A recent exploration of the Ang Mo Kio neighbourhood led me to discover this herbal bak kut teh stall just a few bus stops away from my house and then I realised later this was the same BKT brand (main branch is at Marsiling Lane) that fellow foodie friends had recommended me some time back. […]

Heng Hua Restaurant (兴化美食) @ Yishun Street 72

There was a period of time before my surgery when I kept going to Yishun because I had to go Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for medical appointments. And one of those days, the husband and I went scouting around for a place to eat and we found this eating house located near the Yishun MRT […]

Restoran Ya Wang @ Jalan Segget, Johor Bahru

I’ve never seen money changers in Singapore been this hot before. People are just flocking to money changers these days to snap up Malaysian Ringgit as it falls (and continues to fall) to record low against the Sing dollar. Now, SGD1 can buy RM3. Goodness gracious. When can be a better time than now to […]

Ocean Curry Fish Head @ Toa Payoh Lorong 4 – The Best Fish Head Curry in Singapore

I had known about Ocean Curry Fish Head more than five years ago when fellow colleagues highly raved about it. We would head there for lunch every now and then and I could still remember their very awesome Nonya-style fish head curry that was so worth travelling all the way there for. I hadn’t visited […]

Food Street @ Meldrum Walk, Johor Bahru

I have been to Johor Bahru countless times but have never strayed away from their mainstream shopping centres as I tend to avoid dodgy streets after hearing many horror stories of people getting robbed at knifepoint, etc. Sometime last year, the husband and I took a taxi from City Square to Grand Bluewave Hotel for […]

Just Acia @ Sembawang Shopping Centre

I have probably walked past this casual Asian restaurant umpteen times whenever I head to Sembawang Shopping Centre as it’s just located outside Daiso and Esprit on the ground level. My folks had been here several times previously and they’d always rave about the free-flow ice cream which seemed to be the only highlight of […]

Wen Dao Shi 搵到食 @ Sims Avenue (Geylang)

If Yum Cha Restaurant is on my top list for dim sum (their prawn-based items like siew mai, beancurd rolls and prawn mango sesame fritters are just delish!), then Wen Dao Shi is really a close second if not on par. What I like about Wen Dao Shi (pronounced as ‘Wan Dou Sek’ in Cantonese […]

Pig Trotters Jelly & Shark Meat @ Xing Fu Chao Zhou Xiao Shi 幸福潮州小食

Besides Lao Liang @ Jalan Berseh Food Centre, this is probably the 2nd place I know that sells pig trotters jelly and poached shark meat. It is such a rare find in Singapore and I really wonder if such a traditional culinary art will actually survive in the years to come. Though I’ve grown up in […]

Balestier Road Hoover Rojak @ Whampoa Makan Place

I tried the rojak from this stall many years ago when my then-colleagues and I came by for 梁照记 duck rice (just next door to this) on a few occasions and there would definitely be long queues at both stalls during peak lunch time. Though I was here around mid-afternoon, the queue at this stall […]
