To Try

The churros was yummylicious. Served with banana and mango cream on the side, the churros on its own is delicious enough. The churros was cruchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Together with the crunchiness from the cinnamon bits, eating it all together creates a gastronomal explosion in my mouth

A gastronomical experience. The spices used in the adobo was a kick. It tastes like the malay dish, ayam masak merah. The chicken was very soft & tender. Satisfaction!

Not too bad for a first try of their baked rice (accompanied with the peach tea in a pot), would love to come back for more!

About 9 different burgers to choose from, all veggie burger but they try to make it taste like meat (for the patty). Halal friendly!

I feel that there's two ends to this dish, so you really gotta mix it all up to have a taste. Would burn a hole in your wallet IMO, but worth a try!

Eggs Benedicts and Turkish Eggs (?) I think for Brunch! It was hella good. Accompanied with some hot chocolate.

Originally from Malaysia, and now it's here! Some damn good filling pancakes, with some iced chocolate and iced mocha for the humid weather!

This little eatery commands a queue during lunchtime because people love it for the lip-smackingly good rice and noodle dishes that are cooked only upon order. Top of my list is their Nasi Goreng Kampong which is a spicy fried rice that has every grain of rice infused with the aroma of "sambal belachan". Stirred into the mix are a few strands of green veg (but that's fine because getting your fibre fix isn't why you eat this dish anyway). Topping it off are copious amounts of tiny crispy anchovies and "keropok" plus a fried egg. If you ask me, that's $5 well spent.

The dish you see above is available for a VERY limited time only. I spotted it today at the food bazaar that springs up next to the Sultan Mosque during the month of Ramadan every year. However, I am sure that "Nasi Kerabu" can be found elsewhere anytime of the year too (does anyone have a good one to recommend?) Anyway, this is quite a light and healthy dish because everything is prepared in a relatively healthy way. For eg., the pieces of beef in the front are actually grilled. Next to that is a pile of steamed grated coconut with minced fish. This same mixture is used as stuffing for the red chilli behind. Then there's the salted egg, fish "keropok", raw vegetables and chilli sauces - all adding their unique flavours and textures to this very colourful plate. If you have time, take a trip down to have a taste before the bazaar comes to an end. Otherwise it will be another year before this dish is available again.

Newly opened Sarah's The Pancake Cafe distinguishes itself from others by being Muslim-run. Serving sweet and savoury pancakes along with other mains like spaghetti, this is a great spot for brunch. Tastemaker Xing Wei says, "try the Ala Dol; their specialty which is a fusion of both Chendol and Pancake, which is pretty out-of-the-box and innovative. Another great dining option that can be considered if you are in the Simpang Bedok area"!
