Yishun Park Hawker Centre | Good Food in Yishun

Before Northpoint City and Yishun Park Hawker Centre sprung up in the northern town of Yishun, I had never really hung out in the neighbourhood much or specifically made trips there to eat something. Nothing there really interested me previously even though I don’t live that far away. 😛 Of course, now it’s a different […]

Soi 19 Thai Wanton Mee – Who needs SabX2 when you have this?

I’m still kinda tickled by the title of this blog post. ? Well, I’m probably one of the few people in Singapore who has blacklisted the ‘famous’ SabX2 Wanton Noodle that’s located on Soi Phetchaburi 19 in Bangkok. Seriously, who needs SabX2 when you have tastier Thai wanton mee back at home? And I’m talking […]

Zhi Zhe Lai (知者来) @ Toa Payoh

We were seated right in front of 知者来 (or Zhi Zhe Lai) as we were having breakfast at the Toa Payoh West Market & Food Centre. This stall is located a few units away from Teochew Handmade Pau so if you’re seated in the same section, you shouldn’t miss this. Saw many customers leaving with […]

Teppei Syokudo @ Takashimaya Food Hall

Japanese food lovers in Singapore should be quite familiar with Teppei Japanese Restaurant @ Orchid Hotel (Tanjong Pagar) that is popular for its value-for-money omakase set dinners (require 6 months advance reservation) and bara chirashi dons. But what I really like is their takeaway counter, Teppei Syokudo, which is conveniently located at places including Takashimaya […]

Tuk Tuk Cha – For Thai Milk Tea & Shibuya Toast

Since back from our Bangkok holiday, I’ve been lamenting to the husband about the lack of street food vendors and good cha yen in Singapore. Really miss that week of non-stop eating, lol. We stayed right in the heart of Pratunam and we would be greeted (day & night) with a whole busy street of […]

Miss Kefir – Fluffy & Scrumptious Bak Kwa Scones

The first time I came across the term ‘kefir’ was when the hubby’s colleague bought us some bak kwa scones from Miss Kefir. Initially I thought that was just a name, as in a shop name, but I realised later that kefir is actually a yogurt-like cultured drink that’s popular in Eastern and Northern Europe. […]

Loong Fatt Tau Sar Piah @ Balestier Road – Possibly The Best Tau Sar Piah in Singapore

Whenever I come to the Balestier area, I seldom leave here without getting a box of my favourite tau sar piah or 豆沙饼, a Chinese flaky pastry with green bean billing. I had tried the tau sar piah from several bakeries in the same neighbourhood. [Read my earlier blog post -> 603 Tau Sar Piah […]

Poh Cheu Handmade Ang Ku Kueh @ Bukit Merah Lane 1

The first place that comes to my mind when I think of good ang ku kueh (‘red tortoise cake’, a round or oval shaped Chinese-style pastry made of glutinous rice flour skin with a sweet filling) is actually not anywhere in Singapore but Season Bakery in Johor Bahru. My mum loves their ang ku kueh a […]
