Although FIX is known for their naanwiches and donuts with salted egg dip, it would be a shame if you missed out on their stellar desserts and crispy soy drumlets. These drumlets are the perfect combination of salty, spicy and crispy -- a must-order item! To sate your sweet tooth, go for the butterscotch arabica choux ($6) -- a crumbly, light choux pastry filled with salted butterscotch and topped with coffee cream. For something light, their passionfruit, mango and coconut chiffon cake ($7) is a sure win.

While some feel the briyani here is overpriced ($8 for chicken, $10 for mutton), and the place is a little run down, it is definitely worth a visit. This dum briyani is cooked and served traditionally, without any curry, but every bit aromatic. It's also healthier with the omission of ghee, so you can feel a tiny bit less guilty. If you're there on a Sunday, Monday or Thursday, opt for the kid goat briyani, tender meat without gamey flavour, under a pile of fragrant rice and fried onions. Photo by Michel Lu
Tired of stale, limp, oily kosongs that totally don't hit the spot? That's cos so many places in Singapore now use prata dough that comes premade and from an evil cardboard box. If you want the real deal, this is the place. Small but superbly crispy plain pratas that you can't stop eating, dunked in glorious fish curry, or sambal if you prefer. This will satisfy any prata craving you have. Photo by Joyz X.
With no distinct signboard and a snaking long queue under a HDB block, you know you've found something special. Having taken over from their father's stall, these brothers run a tight ship at Blk 17 Beach Rd, doling out packet after packet of briyani as people order takeaway in the dozens. If you've got the time, sit and enjoy your tender mutton and amazing gravy... this is a serious briyani. Photo by Jayne Tan
Not to my children liking, too much of milk not crispy n slightly soggy
Just nice not too much milk or sugar & with crispy texture....my children ♥ it n its a must to order for every trip there.
This stall in the Kampong Glam area specialises in nasi padang, and has been around for ages. Crowd favourites include the ayam bakar, grilled chicken in a coconut milk-based gravy, beef rendang and ayam panggang. The cooking style is apparently classic Western Sumatran, which favours a milder kick. Be sure to visit with a few friends, and arrive early -- almost everything sells out by 2pm.

For rainy days or when you're feeling under the weather, porridge is arguably one of the best comfort foods. Housed in this coffeeshop along Serangoon Road is probably the best halal Taiwanese porridge you can find. If you like the watery kind of porridge, you'll like the porridge here. Expect a huge bowl to go with sides like kangkong, century egg, salted egg and sambal ikan bilis. The chilli that comes with it is pretty kickass too. Other than bubur Taiwan, they also serve typical dishes like maggi goreng and nasi goreng.

The laksa was just ok... With cockles I think it would taste better
The flattened marshmallow aka smores was chewy & when you cut it together with the waffles & ice cream it just melts in your mouth
