Shiok Burger is relatively new to Singapore’s fast food scene. They only opened their first outlet at Paya Lebar Square in December 2023. Fast forward to now, and they’ve got 13 outlets across Singapore. Here’s where you can find them: Paya Lebar Square Compass One Seletar Mall Sengkang Grand Mall Stars of Kovan Raffles City ESR […]

YY Kafei Dian on Beach Road is honestly one of those places I’ll trek across Singapore for. It’s my absolute chicken rice lifesaver whenever I’m wandering around Bugis with a rumbling tummy. I’ve been hitting up this spot for a couple of years now, and let me tell you – it’s proper old-school Singapore that’s […]

XW Western Grill with its all-you-can-eat salad bar first caught my eye on RedNote and I couldn’t resist checking it out. Total throwback to those Sizzler and Ponderosa days, right? Hidden in the bustling basement of Raffles City, this spot seems to be getting quite the buzz for its combo of Western mains and unlimited […]

Rasa Istimewa Waterfront Restaurant at Woodlands Waterfront offers both delicious food and breathtaking seaside views. After spotting this place during a previous visit and watching Woodlands Waterfront being featured on TV where Mediacorp GOLD 905’s Denise Tan did a walk from Woodlands Jetty to Marsiling Crescent for nasi padang, I knew I had to bring […]

One of my readers recommended me to try Ah Seng Bak Kut Teh after I did a comprehensive review of popular BKTs in SG and JB. For those who missed out on my earlier posts, have a read if you’re interested: Song Fa Bak Kut Teh Founder Bak Kut Teh Ng Ah Sio Bak Kut […]

Normally, when we hear the word ‘pancake’, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the round, thin & fluffy cake that we eat with syrup and/or butter like the hotcakes from Mac N Dees. While Pancake King does breakfast and dessert pancakes (with bananas & caramel sauce, sausage & eggs or chicken nuggets […]

When I heard that 49 Seats had launched their newest branch at Orchard Central and that it would be open for both lunch and dinner, I was just thrilled because the original outlet at Kreta Ayer Road only operates during dinner & supper and it’s always busy! Count the number of chairs when you’re here […]

If Yum Cha Restaurant is on my top list for dim sum (their prawn-based items like siew mai, beancurd rolls and prawn mango sesame fritters are just delish!), then Wen Dao Shi is really a close second if not on par. What I like about Wen Dao Shi (pronounced as ‘Wan Dou Sek’ in Cantonese […]

Update: The Mama Shop has closed w.e.f. Aug 2015. The husband and I went to Chinatown to shop for kitchenware and were about to make our way home from Pearls Centre but we couldn’t catch the CT8 bus in time which meant we had to wait for another 40 minutes for the next one. As […]

My recent food posts were all Whampoa-related and this shall be the last of the lot to conclude my Whampoa/Balestier eat-venture. There’s no better way to end off with yet another great find of an old school bakery like this. Many may not have heard of Sing Hon Loong but most (if not all) of […]

Besides Lao Liang @ Jalan Berseh Food Centre, this is probably the 2nd place I know that sells pig trotters jelly and poached shark meat. It is such a rare find in Singapore and I really wonder if such a traditional culinary art will actually survive in the years to come. Though I’ve grown up in […]

I tried the rojak from this stall many years ago when my then-colleagues and I came by for 梁照记 duck rice (just next door to this) on a few occasions and there would definitely be long queues at both stalls during peak lunch time. Though I was here around mid-afternoon, the queue at this stall […]

Been a while since I last visited Whampoa market for Singapore local food. And it was only in recent weeks when I had been frequenting the area to buy bread from the nearby traditional bakeries that I had the chance to explore further. First up, let’s take a look at the Best Lu Mian In […]

Been almost 3 years since I last reviewed D’Rubinah Restaurant. Whenever the husband and I came by Sembawang Shopping Centre, we would almost always come here for a nasi briyani which I think is still one of the better ones out there. On my last visit, Godma and I shared a lontong which was incredibly […]

I stumbled upon this old school bakery by chance when I was exploring the neighbourhood on foot while waiting for Founder Bak Kut Teh to open for dinner on a Saturday late afternoon. Needless to say, it was the aroma of freshly baked breads that actually led me here. The sight of such a traditional […]
