Now, I don’t usually eat kway chap. This was hubby’s lunch order, but it was so yummy I ended up eating half of it!
Apparently, this stall has a long history. Now operating in Amoy Food Centre, it was previously located in Ellenborough Market & Food Centre, nicknamed “Teochew Market”. Here’s an informative summary on the [...]

There are 3 kinds of street-style fried radish cake 抄菜头粿 in Singapore: the “black” version, “white” version, and not so commonly, the eggy pancake type.
In the modestly-sized Bukit Timah Food Centre, there are two food stalls – Seng Kee Carrot Cake (#02-182) and He Zhong 合眾菜頭粿 (#02-185) – selling fried radish cake, and both do [...]

It’s been more than xx years since I last visited Toa Payoh Lorong 7 Food Centre. Actually, my primary school is just a stone’s throw away. On days that my best friend and I would go to Toa Payoh Library after school, we’d drop by the hawker centre for char kway teow first. Sadly, I’ve [...]

This was a quick lunch from last Saturday. I was attending a workshop nearby, and at lunchtime, the entire class of 12 plus our trainer trooped down to the nearest eatery to fill our bellies.
Turns out this random pick was pretty good. The ayam lemak putih – a very mild and coconutty chicken curry – [...]

It was an eagerly anticipated outing. How could it not be? Its long history and glowing reviews make Founder one of the heavyweights in the Singapore’s bak kut teh arena.
And so, our pork-loving makan gang – Camemberu, Hungry Cow, Keropokman+Momo, ladyironchef, and Nic – made our way there last evening for our premiere Founder experience.
Opening [...]

This was Rick’s choice when we were lunching at Old Airport Road Food Centre. He was browsing the stalls when one of the signboards caught his attention: Holy Grill.
Holy smokes, what a witty name! Amused, he ordered the teriyaki chicken.
Morale of story: Use a catchy and memorable name for your business to stand out from [...]

I was here to review their signature fried Hokkien prawn mee, but couldn’t resist trying the oyster egg 蚝煎 as well.
Overall, it was very likeable, which means a lot considering I’m not a fan of oyster omelette. The eggs are fried till crisp, and the starch mixture isn’t too gooey. There’s about 4 plump oysters [...]

On the same day I bought muffins from Bliss Haven, I also checked out the 枪摊 Fried Hokkien mee stall (the stallowner is a single mom with a teenage son). I do enjoy this series for its entertainment value (the episode where that tattooed dude Jason withdrew was damn drama, right??!!). And even though recipes [...]
