Came here for dinner and ordered the Smoked Duck Chili Padi Pasta and Beef Ribs Roti Kirai. The food was excellent and the portions were huge, so I suggest small eaters beware. We made the mistake of ordering too much and in the end did not have space for desserts. We were gifted with a complimentary ondeh ondeh cupcake to go however and that too tasted awesome. Overall, the food was excellent and the staff were friendly so I hightly recommend this place.

This stack of pancakes come in 4 layers, topped with soft bananas, ricotta, crunchy pistachio bits and honey. Top it up with some honeycomb for another $3, it really goes a long way! Be sure to get a bit of the creamy riccotta with every bite. Also, the presentation is superb. End off with their aromatic long black

For $11, these huge pancakes are simple and satisfying, served with a good dollop of butter and just the right amount of maple syrup. A great place for brunch or tea time, come here and relax with a good book, or a good friend to chat with.

There's something about these simple pancakes, which look like quite a mess but taste like heaven. It makes you want to just dig in, making sure each bite is soaked in gula melaka and has the right ratio of perfectly whipped cream. Choose between the Banana and Walnut, and the Cherry and Chocolate. Best shared after you've already had your eggs, what a great way to finish off brunch.

For a good bowl of beef noodles or tasty pad thai, you'll be satisfied at Thaksin's. Don't expect bells and whistles at this coffeeshop, it serves decent food at reasonable prices. The soup here light, and the beef is tender and served with lots of fresh herbs. A great place for a quick dinner! *Halal-certified

If you're in the Suntec area, Sofra's is a great alternative lunch choice. Go for one of their reasonable set meals, or order a la carte and share a few of their generously portioned dishes. Start with the refreshing Sofra Salad - spiced vegetables with herbs and walnuts. Indulge in the Sultan Kebab, spiced lamb with baked cheese and mashed potato, or the Adana Kebab, a mix of beef and lamb mince cooked over fire. This is a great place for group outings too! *Halal-certified

Located behind the popular Simpang Bedok Food Centre, Badoque Cafe is a great place for a casual Western dinner with your friends. Known for their huge portions, get the Beef Ribs to share - tender, lip-smacking ribs you'll be glad you ordered. If you're feeling in the mood for some fish instead, go for the Mermaid's Tears. *Not Halal-certified, but Halal kitchen & suppliers

Pop by for a hot, melting sandwich of oozing cheese and slices of beefsteak sandwiched between crusty bread, and a serving of one of the best cheese fries (Torpedo Fries) around. Go for the vegetarian or chicken options if you're not a fan of beef, but don't miss out on the fries no matter what. Yellow Submarines is a good place for a fast, casual dinner with friends. *Halal-certified

Famously known as the cupcakes supplied to Penny University, these gorgeous creations come with a surprise filling in the middle, and delightfully unique flavor combinations.

Other flavors include Ondeh Ondeh and Pineapple Tart. Get them early, they sell out quick! *Not Halal-certified, but Muslim-owned & Halal kitchen

Located in the far West, Maliboro's soft bone chicken is worth traveling for. Choose between crispy or grilled versions, and go for the salted egg variety that always hits the spot. The super tender meat will win you over, even if the concept of chowing down bones might be a little odd for you ;) *Halal-certified
