Best Chinese Food & Restaurants in Singapore, 2018

With the chilly season comes the best time to tuck into a hearty tummy-warming Mala! Having had Mala at plenty of places, 日日紅 has been on my wishlist as I've seen it appear on my Google search for "Best Mala in SG"!

Prices were charged according to the type of ingredients you pick. Vegetables are charged at $1, meat at $2, and fish at $3. The lady will grab a specific amount of the ingredient you choose, depending on the pax having it. I ordered my usual must-haves of Maggi, luncheon meat, enoki mushroom, lotus root, tau kwa, broccoli and Chinese cabbage.

You'd be given a queue number upon ordering, but the waiting process was relatively fast. I tried the 微辣 version, and it did not disappoint. The taste of the dish was well balanced, as there was equal ratio of numbness to spice (some other places' Mala are just plain salty, or numb and not spicy) - it was tasty alright. My bowl came with some free ingredients such as pork slices, kelp and the flat translucent noodles, which I assume are remnants from the previous stirfry.. the serving was huge and only costed approx. $8!

It was a satisfying meal indeed.. oh and don't forget to pair it with a cup of sugarcane lemon juice!

I’m getting in a gluttonous festive mood with this wonderful roasted pork at Imperial Treasures. The utterly sinful roast pork is lusciously moist and tender with melt-in-your-mouth fats that oozes out juice when I sink my teeth into it; paired with perfect crackling-crisp skin and salty parts seals the deal. ❣️

Loads of umami from the oyster sauce and fried shallots, unfortunately the plate made it extremely difficult to mix everything properly, resulting in bland and overly seasoned parts

Broth was good as usual and the cod was really tender. Unfortunately the pickled mustard greens wasn't nearly strong enough for me

This is damn good guys. Not too sweet and delicious!

$7 @ Famous Kitchen which recently relocated to Nee Soon Rd

Do give this fine-dining vegetarian restaurant a try, being a carnivore at heart , I am truly blown away by the quality and execution of the food served :: :: Upon entering through the unassuming entrance, we felt as if we were transported into another realm. The overall large wooden structures and furniture in the 3-storey shophouse, with myriads of Buddhist decor and wall art, together with the sounds of birds chirping and water flowing, sets an über zen and tranquil mood 🧘🏻‍♀️:: :: Swipe for more 📲.

These must be the silkiest rice rolls I have ever eaten .

The rice rolls have a good balance between being slightly “ bouncy “ and “ chewy” and soft at the same time .

They had the perfect thickness .

It’s just the combination of chicken and rice rolls that I can agree with . The chicken was soft and limp and lacked In contrast in taste and textures with the rice rolls.

Sometimes things are better prepared the traditional way - just char siew and rice rolls would have been good enough .

The best ones so far ....

I have tried a few versions of this XO carrot cake.
I think hua ting does them the best - these little morsels are fried till crisp and dry and mixed in with eggs and crunchy bean sprouts and served in a mini stone pot to keep them warm.

Ask for an extra serving of that delish XO shrimp sauce and drench it all over for an extra oomph and spice 😋

Miso mushroom noodles and veggie dumplings and pierogi dumplings

If any noodles should be given a Michelin award , this would be it .

I haven’t had a bowl of noodles that is this good in such a Long time. Every element in the bowl screams handmade . From the springy noodles to the well braised mushrooms. The Fried shallots , Fresh spring onions and the seaweed as as well as the creamy onsen eggs all came together in a unmami-ous party 🎉

The dumplings were ok - I would prefer for the skin to be slightly thinner - my favourite gyozas are still the ones by hakkata ikkoushu ramen at Chijmes - with that delish Yuzu sauce !

Quite a waste that they are opened on Sundays so do take note 👌

Attended a lunch event. This was served.
Really yummy seafood platter with scallops, prawns, squids, crabs. The soup is so tasty with all the seafood natural sweetness. Even the winter melon slices taste so good too. This is good if you have a big group of 10 or more people. A dish to have during chinese new year or any other ocassion.
