My last visit at Seng Kee was a touch and go affair because of Bob Blumer’s tight schedule, so I only managed to try a couple of mouthfuls of the noodles, as well as the fish maw soup, which I remember as being really robust and flavorful. Anyway, back in January, together with D, we [...]

This was a quick dinner before catching Alice In Wonderland 3D at Lido Cineplex. Rick and I are both HUGE fans of Imperial Treasure’s roast meats, especially their roast pork.

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 [...]

There’s this little hawker centre in Toa Payoh Lorong 5 that comes alive in the evening. Yup, they do mostly dinner and supper business. A few stalls are familiar haunts of the residents in the area, like this fried Hokkien prawn noodle stall.
