SAP Thai is one of the best "hidden gems" for Thai food in Singapore; you probably wouldn't know about it if you don't frequent the CBD. The noodles in this dish is super springy while still absorbing the wok-stirred goodness of basil, minced chicken, chilli, fish sauce and dark sauce. The sunny side up is also crisp at the edges with the yolk still runny. Ask for "less spicy" so that you can enjoy your meal with their homemade sambal cincalok - one of the best you'd have tasted. Thumbs up, hands down, 10/10 amazing Thai food, at only $4.50! Opens Mon-Fri 10am to 9pm

Another one of my favourite coffees. This one packs in a strong acidity and lingering chocolatey taste that's perfect for a true pick-me-up morning-kick-in-the-butt. Service at Oriole comes highly recommended; the staff know their coffee and are open to introducing you to new cuppas or dishes based on your preferences.

Well balanced cuppa where the creamy milk and foam nicely complements the acidity of an otherwise very strong coffee. Nice touch with the cute gingerbread man shaped cookie at the side of this awesome flat white. While the atmosphere at Symmetry can get pretty claustrophobic and noisy especially during peak hours, if you love Proud Mary & St Ali in Melbourne, you're gonna love this cafe, which channels that similar industrial interior finishes amidst a rustic brick ambience.

First Thai is one of those places to eat with family or with groups of friends, mainly because it makes sense to order more and share - each dish is amazing albeit in large portions. Been here multiple times, but here we've ordered the olive fried rice, spicy basil minced pork and the seafood tomyum soup. The fried rice was fragrant and tasty (and importantly, it wasn't too oily as with most other fried rice). The meat was slightly salty but was complemented well when eaten with the olive rice. The tomyum soup at First Thai isn't too spicy, with the highlights being the sour, galangal and lemongrass flavours and scents. (Add more Chilli if you prefer). All in all, would rate First Thai 8.5/10, but only because the price can get pretty steep if you over order.

First oyakodon I've tried that features yakitori style chicken bites atop Japanese rice and fluffy egg. One of the best oyakodon I've had and been back to ShuKuu Izakaya multiple times for this. Find this on their lunch menu for $14. Pretty awesome meal; let me know what you think! :)

I love tomyum. I can drink it all day, every day. This tomyum soup at Jai Thai packs in a punch - sour + spicy + fragrant with tamarind, galangal and lemongrass all at the same time. One of the most affordable yet super delicious tomyum soups around. Only be warned: unlike other squid rings, these ones can be slightly under-cooked and they might slide down your throat if you don't chew them up properly (ahem* happened once too many times to me. cough)

Beef patty was pretty moist; the toasted brioche bun packed together cheese, caramelised onions and fresh salad. This burger was pretty alright; can't compare this to my favourite Omakase Burger & Grill'd from Melbourne though. Add to that, the accompanying fries were a tad too thin and crispy for my liking.

Super crisp on the outside & light and fluffy on the inside. Superb churros - fantastic when dipped in the rich velvety chocolate dip!

A healthy bowl with a delicious crunch. Try their spicy salmon poke on brown rice then topped with avocado, pineapple, cherry tomato & flying fish roe. Highly recommended, the best poke bowl!

Brown rice topped with fresh salmon and tuna sashimi served with egg cubes, avocado, sprouts and flying fish roe. Spritz with some lime to lift the flavours. Mmm, simply sublime. Most healthy combination yet!

While the ham and cheese might be heavy, the balsamic vinaigrette helps to balance the flavours. Really enjoyed this salad!

A light lunch that's packed with a heavy chock full of proteins and healthy green goodness. Simple, clean eating at its best!
