If you’re looking for something special in Singapore’s dessert scene, Warabimochi Kamakura at One Holland Village should be on your radar. This specialist shop brings an authentic Japanese sweet that’s genuinely different from the usual offerings around town. I recently visited and found myself impressed by this distinctive confection that’s quietly gaining popularity among Singapore’s […]

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 […]

Hakka Leipopo 擂婆婆 is a food stall at the newly opened One Punggol Hawker Centre that specialises in serving thunder tea rice. This dish, which is a Hakka specialty, is well-known for its distinct blend of textures and flavours. What is Thunder Tea Rice? Thunder tea rice, also called lei cha fan, is a popular […]

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 […]

J2 Famous Crispy Curry Puff is a popular stall at Amoy Street Food Centre, that is known for its delicious and crispy curry puffs. The stall has received recognition from the Michelin Guide and is a regular awardee on the Bib Gourmand list. J2 specialises in just puffs, which come in 4 different flavours—curry potato […]

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 would end up to be something […]

I have no qualms about recommending Dona Manis Cake Shop to anyone who enjoys traditional sweet treats like a good old banana pie. In fact I don’t think there is another bakery in Singapore that does banana pies in the same way as Dona Manis. That’s probably why their banana pies are so special even […]

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 […]

Checking out the convenience stores in other cities is something that I would definitely do when travelling. It’s just interesting to know and see what range of food offerings each city has because it’s always different in every place. Convenience stores around the world America – Fancy some late night snacking on hotdogs, burgers and […]

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 […]

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 […]

I featured Yan Chuan Roaster a few years ago when I stumbled upon the shop at Ubi Ave 2. It was and is still one of the few places in Singapore that sells a whole roasted duck for just $16. And we’re talking about a huge duck here that is of a good roasted meat […]

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 […]

Earlier I have posted a Peanut Muah Chee Recipe which I regard as a healthier version because it uses less oil and less sugar. And now I’m sharing this other ‘less healthy but more aromatic’ Peanut Sesame Muah Chee Recipe. This recipe is inspired by the peanut and sesame muah chee from Hougang 6 Miles […]

Last year, I had reviewed Ah Seng Bak Kut Teh which one of my readers recommended me to try as I was searching for good BKTs in Singapore. I was back here a few weeks ago to have lunch after my therapy session. Wanted to try their noodles as I had seen customers ordering it […]
