Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee 建记辣椒板面 @ MacPherson Road

The husband wanted to go BreadTalk IHQ for some sports apparel warehouse sale so I suggested to walk over to Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee (nearest MRT is Tai Seng) for lunch beforehand since it was nearby. Just months ago, it’d take 2-3 hours to queue for a bowl of ban mian here. We are really glad the […]

Qi Le Boneless Chicken Rice @ Ang Mo Kio Central

The husband and I had probably passed by this S11 food court umpteen times whenever we headed to NTUC Fairprice at AMK Hub for our weekly grocery shopping. Every time, we’d see a long queue at this chicken rice stall but had never given it a try. Recently we were there again and as it was raining […]

1983 – A Taste of Nanyang @ Marina Bay Sands

Most of you had probably read the news recently about the temporary closure of this food court after a picture showing cockroaches running around the chicken rice stall went viral online last week. Eeeeww! Anyway, I just happened to eat here a couple of days before this incident and no, I didn’t order anything from the chicken […]

Delightful Orh Nee (Yam Paste) from Tian Cheng Mei Shi 天成美食 @ Old Airport Road Food Centre

While I was queuing up for Selera Rasa’s dum briyani next door, the auntie from this kueh kueh stall who was scooping freshly steamed yam paste into disposable containers kept telling me how fantastic her yam paste was. The thing is, I wasn’t the only person in the queue and I wasn’t even standing nearest […]

Cheapest Nasi Briyani in Singapore at Selera Rasa @ Old Airport Road Food Centre

On the previous occasion the husband and I were here at the Old Airport Road Food Centre, we caught sight of people walking past our table with plates and plates of nasi briyani (briyani, biryani or beryani? let’s just stick with the first for now!) from Selera Rasa. And it was what brought us back […]

Lao Fu Zi Fried Kway Teow @ Old Airport Road Food Centre

After finishing our not-so-filling chee cheong fun, we combed the food centre again and spotted this stall. Hadn’t had char kway teow for a long while now so we jumped at the chance to give this a try since there wasn’t a queue anyway. We ordered the $5 portion that came with 2 medium sized […]

Freshly Made Chee Cheong Fun @ Old Airport Road Food Centre

The Old Airport Road Food Centre is one of our all-time favourite makan (‘eat’ in Malay) spots in Singapore. The husband and I used to frequent it very often (before Lao Ban Soya Beancurd outlets sprung up everywhere) just to grab a dozen of beancurd to go but not anymore since I started making my own beancurd […]

A Value-for-Money Taiwan Porridge Buffet @ Crystal Cafe, Orchard Grand Court (Revisit)

I went to SingTel ComCentre to settle my account closure (I switched to M1 after so many donkey years!) and the husband and I decided to look for somewhere to lunch around Killiney Road. Encountered several eateries that we had not eaten at before which were worth trying and blogging about but in the end we made a […]

Hup Seng Duck Rice 合成鸭饭 @ Sin Ming Road

People who work around Sin Ming area would probably know this really popular braised duck rice stall. I was introduced to this stall years ago by a colleague and had been here numerous times for lunch. Every time, I would see a long queue of customers at lunch time. But this braised duck rice stall is one that’s worth […]

Ngee Fou Restaurant Ampang Yeung Tow Fu @ Upper Thomson Road

I first came to know about this yong tau foo place a few years ago when an ex-colleague drove us here for lunch and we had come here couple of times since then as the food was good. This place is quite hard to get to if you have no car as it’s located in a rather remote area […]

Delicious Boneless Chicken Rice 美味起骨雞飯 @ Katong Shopping Centre

The husband and I accomplished another ‘hike’ over the weekend but this time, we weren’t on any designated walking trail amidst lush greenery or nature. We actually explored Geylang Road -> Joo Chiat Road -> East Coast Road on foot and probably covered 5km in distance within 1.5 hours which was quite a decent workout. […]

Durian Galore at Deluxe (SG) Trading, Sims Avenue

I came across this durian stall a long while back when I was in the vicinity for supper but I didn’t try their durians until recently when my craving hit. This huge, brightly lit stall with a prized collection of different varieties of durians all neatly arranged on metal shelves is located opposite the 24-hour Ho Kee […]

Fatty Cheong Roast Meats 肥仔祥烧腊云吞面 @ ABC Brickworks Food Centre

If you ask me where we can find the best char siew in Singapore, I think it definitely has got to be Fatty Cheong which is famous for its Bu Jian Tian (不见天 – means ‘never see the sky’) char siew that is a cut from the pig’s armpit area. Besides that, it also serves […]

Face Ban Mian 非板面 @ Ang Mo Kio Central

I think I’m quite a ‘biased’ ban mian eater because I only go for my favourite Qiu Lian Ban Mian and I don’t give others a chance after having had some bad ones. This time round, I was surprised I decided to give a new ban mian stall a try, probably because I was captivated by its […]

Hao Qing Xiang 好清香 AMK 628 – Homemade Chee Cheong Fun, Steamed Yam Cake & Tapioca Cake

One good thing about having a BBC (British-born Chinese) husband (who shares the same passion in food) as my BMB (Best Makan Buddy) is that I get to revisit many of my old favourite food places and also discover new ones too as we explore a different part of Singapore every week. He makes me see my homeland from […]

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 […]
