Fried Beef Kway Teow Recipe

I had a pretty decent Fried Beef Kway Teow at Maggie Thai & Chinese @ Liang Seah Street. It was moist with a lot of wok hei flavour just like our regular Char Kway Teow but somehow I felt it could be more balanced with a little less sweetness to it. I adjusted the amount […]

What to buy from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia? Zhang Village & Kee Heong

It’s so strange as I had been to KL many times for business but I had never taken notice of anything (food) interesting to bring home to Singapore. Maybe that’s what happens during work trips – everything else seems so unexciting, lol. Anyway, the husband had to work on a mega project which he had […]

Emperor Herbs Chicken Recipe with Seah’s Spices

Seah’s Spices is one of the few local brands of spice mix that I use every now and then in my cooking. My previous attempts on making Salt-Roasted Chicken and Bak Kut Teh with their pre-mixed spices turned out really well. They were just so easy to prepare and were very tasty too. Godma has always […]

603 Tau Sar Piah vs Royal River Bakery (aka Whampoa Tau Sar Piah)

Hello folks! How’s CNY preparation coming along? Just one more week to go. I’m back from a cruise on Sapphire Princess (amazing experience!) and still feeling quite shagged after a few nights of little or no sleep. Too much action at the casino, lol. And I’m having a bad sunburn and rash on my body which […]

Ipoh Hor Fun Recipe

I had previously reviewed Weng Kee Original Taste Ipoh Hor Fun @ Changi Village. It serves up a pretty good Ipoh Hor Fun with a generous amount of ingredients (including fried wanton & char siew besides the usual) and the combination of sweet & salty flavours in its gravy is quite tasty too. When I […]

Wholesale Nuts & Seeds at Teck Sang (Hong Kong Street)

While most people are stocking up their pantries with Chinese New Year tidbits and goodies, I’m stocking up mine with an assortment of nuts and seeds. After my recent visits to Victoria Wholesale Centre and Albert Centre Wholesale Market, I’m now into this (go) nuts shopping frenzy that I’m sure any chipmunk or squirrel would […]

Albert Centre Wholesale Market @ Queen Street (Bugis)

When I heard that there was a wholesale market on the third level of the Albert Centre Market and Food Centre, I felt really gutted for not knowing about it earlier. I had been to this part of Bugis umpteen times and often had meals in the vicinity too but yet I didn’t know a […]

Victoria Wholesale Centre @ Kallang Avenue

I was going to Geylang from Lavender and thought I’d stop by the Victoria Wholesale Centre on the way just to check out what the place was like. This was my first visit since the wholesale centre moved from Bugis to here 3 years ago. Most of us would be familiar with the Victoria Wholesale Centre […]

[CLOSED] Taiwan Railway Bento 台湾鐵路便當 @ CT Hub (Kallang)

Update: This outlet had closed. Bentos were first introduced to Taiwan by the Japanese many decades ago and railway bentos simply grew in popularity as people packed rice boxes to eat onboard the train during long inter-city journeys. Unlike the Japanese equivalent that’s normally chilled, Taiwanese railway bentos are served hot with a wide variety […]
