Came across these pre-packed kueh kueh selling at $2.60 per pack at Sheng Siong Supermarket a few months back. It was love in one bite, lol. And we’ve been getting the kueh like 2-3 times per week ever since. I know, so much sugar, but hey, no regrets man! They just go so well with […]

My maternal great grandmother was a Teochew who came to Singapore from Swatow, China. I remembered the times when all of us would gather around the dining table to help or watch her make traditional kueh during festive occasions. Her yam cake and png kueh were the best. Ever since 老嬤 passed away, I hadn’t […]
Besides the pastries from Ghee Hiang which would make great food souvenirs from Penang, you can also check out the array of Malaysian food products and snacks from Ban Heang. Ban Heang sells tau sar piah, beh teh saw and the like too but for such pastries, I think Ghee Hiang does them better since […]
One of my favourite things to buy when in Penang would be the tau sar piah (豆沙饼) from Ghee Hiang Bakery. I must say their tau sau piah is one of the best I’ve ever had. It’s a taste of tradition yet their pastries are made very giftable with proper box packaging. Prices are reasonable […]

Now I know why my friend, B always eats Magnum ice cream whenever he’s in Malaysia. It only cost about S$1.50 per stick! So cheap compared to Singapore! We grabbed one stick each when we popped into 7-Eleven for air con. The earlier breakfast at Transfer Road Roti Canai did not turn out as good […]

I never had the chance to try the Portuguese egg tarts from 50年 Taste of Tradition earlier as I always turned up at an outlet at a wrong timing. Either the egg tarts were sold out because people ahead had packed dozens to go or that the tarts were still baking in the oven and […]
Update: Dochi Dochi has ceased operations. Headed to Joo Chiat as I wanted to check out a hidden gem & hole-in-the-wall cafe, Kohi Roastery & Coffee Bar. As I was walking along Joo Chiat Road, a cute little bun-like fellow caught my attention. Went forward to take a closer look and realised it was a […]

Stumbled upon Sixth Floor Oyster Cake when I came by Northshore Plaza to have waffles at Creamier Handcrafted Ice Cream and Coffee. Oyster cake – an old school snack that brings back fond memories I’m a big, big fan of this old school fried snack which isn’t readily available in Singapore now as few places […]
