It’s now become a barely decent bowl, which you probably wouldn’t even know was supposed to be cooked over charcoal after tasting it. Such a shame, but good thing there’s Sin Heng Kee.

Some say the greens make you feel healthier eating one of Singapore's oiliest dishes, but overall they don't add anything to this version. The kway teow itself... Decent lor.
The pasta is cooked al dente and al creamy (a term I invented for creaminess that’s just nice), and the rich parmigiano shavings and home-made bacon pieces levelled this deceptively simple dish to new heights.
This is the main course of my set lunch at @ildensg which is an unassuming little secret gem hidden in Orchard Plaza. All managed by an ex-Iggys Chef who is also the waiter, cashier. Personal, accomplished and patiently waiting to be discovered. I’ll be back to Il Den soon, hungry for more.
Tsuruhashi Fugetsu is one of the most famous okonomiyaki restaurant in Osaka and it has opened its first Singapore outlet in Eat at Seven at Suntec City. Look out for the signature Fugetsuyaki (Mix) which has pork, squid, prawn and beef or Cheetama-Buta-Tama for the cheese lovers. Please read my review at www.hungryghost.sg.
Enough said, to see such feat. No doubt just order and eat while it's fresh. Salty chai poh matches the chilli sauce. Once a while indulgence.
Finally found time to try this! The beef Don comes in a set, with sesame tofu as starters, miso soup and an onsen egg which the Chef recommended me to pour over the beef slices. He first caramelises and sears the beef with sugar and other sauces, thus making it oh so sweet before putting in the other ingredients like tofu, mushrooms and shirataki noodles. Decided to be less adventurous and went for the cheaper option first, definitely trying the premium one on my next visit!
After brunching at Botanist, stroll a few doors down to this minimalistic ice cream cafe for comforting, home-churned ice cream. We like that the guys running the place are earnest and provide consistently personable service, and are always up for a chat about their favourite topic — ice cream! Prices start at a reasonable $3.90 for a scoop, with premium flavours like their wholly popular Black Sesame priced at $4.60. Burpple Tastemaker Xing Wei Chua describes the black sesame to be intense and rich, yet lusciously smooth and well-balanced. Other flavours to try include the Caramelised Strawberry, Pistachio and Bailey Brownie. If you're with a friend, consider sharing the Charcoal Waffle ($6). It is crisp around the edges and soft in the centre, and there's also a very slight hint of earthiness that adds character.
Avg Price: $5 per person

Haven’t had Pork Pho before nor have I been to Vietnam, but this bowl was super comforting and satisfying! Think there may be quite a bit of msg in there but I didn’t mind slurping the flavourful broth down. The rice noodles were smooth and soaked up the flavour thoroughly. Would have loved the pork slices to be more tender and less dry but it came in a generous portion.
Also got a bite of my friend’s Banh Mih - Co Hai Baguette ($10) and you’d be happy to know they make theirs in-house - we witnessed the whole baking process!

Bought 12 soon kueh, 6 peng kueh, 6 gu cai kueh, 1 yam kueh, 1 box of pumpkin cake & 2 boxes of yam cake. For my family and my mum’s. Ate some and they are really good! 👍🏻 Skin is so thin, chewy, soft and smooth. Filling is very generous so worth the price $1.30 ea. (cake is $3 ea.) My fav got to be gu cai (chives) & their famous soon kueh! 😋
Passed by this shop and decided to try something new. Oh boy I was impressed with the taste of the dish and the service that was given by the staff!
I would definitely return for sure!
Usually The Curry Puff we eat is the frozen one. Found this at Tanjong Pagar Hawker Center. The Uncle who is now aged 76 still insisted on handmaking the curry puff. When u are there u have to find & follow the smell. He insisted using fresh ingredient to make the curry puff. Availiable in 2 type Curry Potatoes & Sardine. Uncle Deep Fried the curry puff so that customer can enjoy the puff piping hot.
