Kow Loon Hong Kong Dim Sum @ 151 Ang Mo Kio Ave 5

I hadn’t come back here for dim sum for a long while now though this stall which has been in operation for almost 30 years is just less than a 10-minute walk away from my house. How convenient! One of the Sundays, the husband and I decided to wake up early and head here for yum […]

Beach Road Scissor Cut Curry Rice 美芝律剪刀咖哩饭 @ Jalan Besar

Couple of years back, the husband and I often frequented Jalan Besar when we had to shop for bathroom accessories for our new house then. And this particular ‘mixed veg rice stall’ that often saw throngs of customers was one of our favourites for a quick lunch. No one would expect decent food to be […]

Where to find the cheapest kaya toast, soft-boiled eggs & kopi set in Singapore?

When I was little, I often followed my father to his favourite coffee stall for breakfast on Sundays and I remembered how he’d pour the coffee onto the saucer just so it could cool off quicker and I could drink with the spoon. I never forgotten his favourite was kopi-o siu dai (coffee black with […]

Salut Coffeeshop @ 119 Bukit Merah Lane 1 – Singapore’s Next Hipster Eatery and Watering Hole

119 @ Bukit Merah is no doubt one of the hippest and most happening neighbourhood joints where we can go eat, drink and socialise. But the unique thing is, it is actually a kopitiam in our local terms and it’s probably the only coffee shop in Singapore that requires a reservation to be made beforehand. Located just a stone’s […]

Tiong Shian Porridge Centre 長城粥品中心 @ Whampoa Drive

An ex-colleague recommended Tiong Shian years ago and it is still one of the few porridge places that I regularly go to. It specialises in Cantonese-style porridge as well as claypot dishes and one of its signature dishes would be the claypot frog legs which they are famous for. Its main outlet at Chinatown (New […]

Vegetarian Food @ Coffee Express 2000, Ang Mo Kio Street 61

I had never liked vegetarian food that much years ago because the ones I had were either greasy or simply boring in terms of selections. Ever since I tried this vegetarian stall in Ang Mo Kio, I’ve changed my perception of vegetarian food that comes in a variety of our everyday local hawker fare dishes […]

Astons Express @ Ang Mo Kio Central (Revisited)

This is the 3rd time I’m blogging about Astons though I’ve been there like countless times before as it’s probably the only western food stall that I always come back for its grilled chicken, coleslaw and new potato salad. That’s right. I have the tendency to order the same each time I’m here but this […]

Dong Po Colonial Cafe @ Kandahar Street

I’m getting more and more sentimental recently. I wonder if this is all part of aging as I approach my mid-30s. Nostalgic stuffs really draw my attention these days, so does this quaint looking coffee shop with its traditional signboard. I was at Kandahar Street as I wanted to buy some swiss rolls from the […]

Hup Chong Hakka Yong Dou Foo at Toa Payoh

A sense of sudden nostalgia made me stop at Braddell MRT on my way home from work. This was the area that I was so familiar with when I was working as a student care teacher while studying for my part time degree. The good old days indeed. Who can ever forget the taste of […]
