Din Tai Fung JB City Square continues to prove that sometimes the best versions of iconic dishes happen outside their birthplace. Though Din Tai Fung remains a renowned Taiwanese brand, I actually find the Malaysia and Singapore outlets much better than their Taiwanese counterparts. My visit to the OG Din Tai Fung outlet on Xinyi […]
On our last day in JB, we woke up early and made our way to JB Old Town. Wanted to grab some banana cakes from Hiap Joo and tarts from Tapu Tarts before heading back to Singapore. After stocking up on our treats, we decided to swing by Ah Ma TeoChew Kuih for brunch since […]
We’ve been indulging in way too many rich and hearty meals while in Malaysia, so when we stumbled upon Ke Ren Lai at Mid Valley Southkey, we decided to give it a try for dinner. Ke Ren Lai specialises in Hakka cuisine, which we don’t see much of back in Singapore. We were pretty excited […]

When you think of white beehoon in Singapore, you probably think of White Restaurant, which used to be called Sembawang White Beehoon. We used to go to their outlet on Jalan Tampang in Sembawang because it is very close to Sembawang Shopping Centre. Whenever we went shopping there, we would stop by for some white […]
Looking for a taste of China without leaving Singapore? Look no further than Scarlett Supermarket (思家客). Scarlett Supermarket is a supermarket chain in Singapore that offers popular and trendy snacks and food products from China. The first store was opened on Trengganu Street in Chinatown in October 2020, and they have since expanded to 15 […]
As soon as my plane touched down at Changi Airport, I found myself yearning for a specific meal: my go-to dishes from Soup Restaurant Jewel. Despite having visited various Soup Restaurant locations in Singapore numerous times before, I always seem to gravitate towards the same items on the menu. However, my love for these dishes […]
While we were strolling down the Luchuan (Green River) towards Painted Animation Lane, we came across Bu Yi Yang Mantou (不一樣饅頭), which had a long line of customers, mostly locals. I read that this shop had been handed down from the original Shandong master chefs, over 50 years ago. The current proprietor is the third […]
We walked to Zhongshan Road because we wanted to try the famous steamed buns at Gongzheng Baozi (公正包子店), which many people had raved about on Google. When we arrived, we were surprised to find no queue at the shop, but rather a very long queue at the next-door Zhou Jia Steamed Dumplings (周家蒸餃). The line […]
Now, let’s talk FOOD, because you absolutely cannot visit Taipei without experiencing the legend that is Din Tai Fung! Seriously, this place is world-renowned for a reason. It actually kicked off right here in Taipei back in 1958 and has since spread its deliciousness across the globe – yep, you’ll find branches everywhere from Australia […]
Update: This place has permanently closed. The last time we ate Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu at a coffee shop at Blk 721 Ang Mo Kio Ave 8, we spotted other ‘new’ stalls which we said we would come back to try. Funny thing is, whenever we wanted to eat something specific in AMK, it […]
Stumbled upon Lau Wang Claypot Delights when we stopped by Oasis Terraces to grab lunch after our run. Oasis Terraces is one of the few neighbourhood shopping centres in Punggol and is located next to the Oasis LRT Station. Lau Wang Claypot Delights started out as a coffeeshop stall in Yishun. Now it has outlets […]
After a whole day of (junk) food-hopping, I was really craving for some soupy dish or noodles to reset my tummy. And hence we picked Ho Min San for dinner. Ho Min San specialises in Cantonese-style rice vermicelli (米线) and Shanghainese pan-fried buns (生煎包). This Chinese restaurant is owned by Dragon-i Group that also manages […]
Time To Eat Bak Chang! Dragon Boat Festival (端午节) falls on 7 June this year. Like many fellow Singaporeans, the occasion doesn’t really hold a great deal of significance to me. Since I was a kid, I’ve always known Dragon Boat Festival as Dumpling Festival because it’s the time of the year to eat bak […]
Was planning to go to Starbucks at Seletar Mall to work and thus alighted at Jalan Kayu first to grab some lunch as food choices at the mall were pretty limited. We settled for Soon Huat Bak Kut Teh as we had never tried their bak kut teh (bkt) before. While waiting for our food, […]
Hands up if you have tried my Salted Egg Chicken Recipe. 😀 It has remained my top number 1 recipe post since I shared it years ago. And it just means how much you peeps love your salted egg as always. 😉 Today, I’m sharing a Salted Egg Tofu and Chicken Recipe that’s inspired by […]
