The husband and I headed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital just to grab soup for dinner from our favourite stall at the food court only to realise it wasn’t in operation anymore. So sad. Going to a hospital not for medical reasons or to visit anyone but to have dinner. That’s exactly one of the […]
Loy Sum Juan Restaurant (黎三元酒家), one of Singapore’s favourite Cantonese restaurants, might have ceased its operation after 40 long years in business but its famous invention of the Har Cheong Gai still continues to please the palates of fans who just can’t have enough of it. Roy Lai, who was the chef at LSJ, started 12 […]
This Michelin-starred dim sum restaurant from Hong Kong hit Singapore shores amid a storm of hype more than a year ago but the husband and I had only just visited it recently when we were at Plaza Singapura. There wasn’t a long queue on a late Saturday afternoon, that was why we decided to go for an […]
I totally dig vegetarian food these days ever since I had a bad bout of severe constipation and piles a few months back that I needed laxatives from the doctor to relieve myself from the unnecessary anxiety and discomfort. So I started eating less meat and consuming more greens which really helped with my daily digestive health. […]
Chwee kueh (steamed rice cake) had never been a big thing for me during my growing up years because I wasn’t a fan of chye poh (preserved radish) which was always heavily soaked in oil. And it was only when the husband decided to settle down in Singapore a few years back and I brought him to various […]
My Dad, my husband and I visited Gran recently and decided to have lunch at Serangoon Garden Food Centre as my cousin had recommended us to try the popular Teochew style braised duck rice stall that always have a long queue. Finally a peaceful lunch without ‘disturbances’. I couldn’t even recall when was the last time I had […]
Most of the time, the husband and I only come to this food court for Penang Delights Prawn Mee & Lor Mee (read my review here) which is one of the better ones I’ve tried in Singapore. Just two months ago, we were gallivanting late at night around AMK Central and felt like having something light for […]
I really couldn’t remember when was the last time I had salt baked chicken so when the husband and I were at Parkway Parade and we saw Lam’s Salt Baked Chicken at Food Republic, we just had to order something to share even though we already had a Subway 6″ each for dinner. Salt Baked Chicken […]
I hadn’t been to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve for like two decades. The last time I did a trek there was during my secondary school days when I was part of the National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC). And since the husband hadn’t been there too since moving to Singapore, I thought it’d be a good opportunity for us […]
I spotted this Chinese snack kiosk when I was at Woodlands MRT Station and got really excited as it sells my favourite scallion pancake 葱油饼 that I always find it hard to resist. Made of such humble ingredients yet so delish. Since I had eaten some of the best scallion pancakes and meat buns at Shandong […]
As part of my Ang Mo Kio food hunt, I made my way to Mayflower Market & Food Centre wanting to eat this fishball noodles which I thought was pretty good when I tried it a long while back but the stall had closed and was replaced by a pastry shop. So I walked to the other […]
Godma and I were at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 as she wanted to grab a bottle of ointment (to ease joint pains and muscle aches) from this Chinese medical hall at Blk 302 whose physician happens to be Wong Fei Hong’s 4th generation disciple. I’m fascinated by resourceful folks like Godma herself who always […]
Happy Birthday, dear husband! You are one year wiser today, woo hoo! 🙂 An exciting day awaits you! Ok, back to food. The folks finally won the Big Sweep for the first time ever after ‘wasting money’ over a span of 30+ years (it’s like winning a few hundred dollars only after losing thousands beforehand but it’s all about the […]
Having lived in Ang Mo Kio all my life, I know there are actually a lot more to explore in this new town besides the AMK Hub and the already-bustling town centre. I realise there are so many food centres in the neighbourhood that we can go to even though every weekend my husband and […]
I have known Ubi as an industrial estate for the longest time ever but when I got wind that it is also a roaster heaven with a good number of roast meat factories and suppliers around, I decided to venture into this godforsaken place and embark on my hunt for cheap and good roast duck […]
I share a special relationship with Yum Cha Restaurant as it’s a place where I had experienced a few first times. The first dim sum buffet I had with the husband. The first meal my husband had with my parents. The first pre-wedding meal between my in-laws and my parents. Time flies but the nostalgic […]
