Eating With Parents
Just around the corner from Aljunied MRT Station is this popular zi char stall that our Burpple community loves. Rather than looking out for its signboard, heed Burpple Tastemaker Julius Lim's advice and look for the long queue instead. Take this time to scan their massive menu for dishes you might want to try — like the popular Penang Fried Kway Teow (from $5). If it's your first time here, order the crowd favourite Lala Hokkien Mee (from $8) that has equal parts wok hei and fried pork lard. It's slicked in a wet sauce and comes served with a generous amount of sotong, prawns and clams. Be sure to share the popular Salted Egg Sotong (from $14) that comes with perfectly cooked squid rings, coated in an unbelievably crisp batter and tossed in a umami-rich, wet salted egg sauce, as well as the tasty Fermented Pork Belly ($12)!

Despite relocating from Sin Ming to Hillview, the new location has not deterred loyal fans of New Ubin Seafood from going the extra mile(s) for their favourite dishes. The sprawling space that doubles up as a canteen during the day can accommodate 280 seats, which makes this ideal for large gatherings. If you're headed here on weekends, make a reservation in advance. First on the list to order: the juicy US Black Angus Ribeye Steak ($14 for 100g) that comes complete with wedges, caramelised onions and beef fried rice (rice fried in beef fat) on the side. It's sinful, but incredibly tasty and a definite winner in our books! As for the standard zi char items, our Burpple community loves the tasty Har Cheong Gai (from $15), Salted Egg Squid (from $16) and, if your wallet can afford it, the Chilli Crab (from $42)!

This unassuming coffeeshop in Chai Chee is a favourite among the Burpple community for its Fried Prawn Noodles (from $10 for small). The noodle dish uses flat lor mee noodles instead of yellow noodles, features more gravy than regular fried Hokkien noodles, and is big on the wok hei — the latter an absolute plus in our books! This dish is only available on weekdays, so time your visit well. While you're here, order the Fried Sotong ($10), which is crisp around its edges yet wonderfully succulent within, as well as the Black Pepper Crab with Korean Noodles ($40 for two crabs). Burpple Tastemaker Julius Lim loves how the chewy sweet potato noodles soak up all the black pepper flavour for slurp-worthy deliciousness. Gather your friends for a weeknight dinner — the more the merrier, so you can order more, too!

The batter was fragrant, but not overly so (which is a good thing), and there is a subtle spicy kick in the aftertaste that makes it all the more delicious. Rated only 3.5 stars because the batter whilst fragrant was fried a little too much; it was a little too crispy, almost borderlining a cracker. Some might also prefer a richer salted egg flavour. 📍Cafe 566 (its actually a zichar restaurant)

I'm liking almost every dish that I've tried at Diamond Kitchen, including these Butter Prawns. The shells are removed for ease of eating and what's left are the plump and fresh prawn meat fried to a golden brown, finished with a generous amount of creamy butter sauce!

14.12.2014 \\ Dinner with the family at ThaiPan Restaurant, located inside Mandarin Gardens Condominium. Luckily we got a table immediately because the restaurant was filled up pretty quickly. Prices are really affordable and they have some recommended dishes such as the Cereal Chicken and Steamed Fish Teochew Style. For the Singapore dinner experience, this is one zhi czar place you have to go.
Following the success of its first outlet at Laguna Village, Diamond Kitchen has opened a larger, more spacious outlet in the West. The slightly inaccessible location hasn’t stopped regulars from returning (the sprawling 300-seater is located on the first floor of Science Park), and reservations are a must on weekends as the place is usually fully packed. Unlike its Laguna Village outlet, the Science Park outlet dishes out quick and affordable one dish meals for the office workers during the day, and the full works during dinner. Zoom in on popular items like the Gan Xiang Fried Rice (from $11) and the finger-licking good Salted Egg Yolk Crab ($68/kg). As part of their third anniversary celebration, the Science Park outlet has an exclusive menu that features the same Gan Xiang spice cooked with Bee Hoon ($25). Another exclusive item worth splurging on is the impressive Diamond Sauna Treasures ($188 or $368). The latter is a massive dim sum basket filled with a bed of hot stones, topped with Boston lobsters, snow crab legs, prawns, scallops and more. It's said that the steam from the hot stones helps to create a "sauna bath" — bringing out the natural sweetness of each seafood!

Previously at Guillemard Road, Char has relocated to Jalan Besar just opposite from Kok Kee Wanton Mee. Occupying the first and second level of the Singapore Lee Clan General Association, this industrial chic restaurant dishes out quality Hong Kong-style roasts in air-conditioned comfort. If you fancy, bring a bottle of wine to share (corkage is only $25). Budget 100g of melt-in-your-mouth, super fatty Special Char Siew ($7/100g, minimum order of 300g) for each person in your party and be sure to pre-order your roasts while making a reservation to ensure you get your share before they sell out! The wok hei-ladened Beef Hor Fun ($12) and the Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice ($11) are great for sharing — portions are big and pair well with the roasts. If your group of friends or family gets particularly loud, opt to sit on the second floor — it’s almost like having a private room at no extra cost and you can have whole thing, well…not have, but, like, borrow for the night.

This Saturday night was definitely an uplifting moment for me as I managed to reconcile with something that has eluded me for a while. Everything just seemed so right and back to normal once this cauldron of goodness was served. The wok hei, flavour and comfort level was just how it tasted like when I first had it a couple of years ago. Quoting from a fellow foodie, this claypot mee tai mak is definitely worth 5/5 munchies.

If you have a group of family or friends who enjoy a sinfully good roasted suckling pig, you should consider the one at Wheeler's Estate. We pre-ordered ours to celebrate my mum's birthday and my whole family relished it with gusto.
Served with the gleaming golden-brown roasted Spanish piglet was a big tray of soft, chargrilled capsicums, big chillies and cherry tomatoes plus a jug of balsamic vinegar to balance the overall flavour mix.
Following the Spanish style of service (which also happens to prove the immense crispness from a successful roasting), the chef actually uses a plate to cut the piglet up into small pieces. This is done table-side on a trolley, allowing for ample opportunities to capture the action on video if you like.
As a newly moved in foreigner, I am not quite familiar with local dishes. Then my better half, who came here years before I came, brought me here. Everytime we eat this food, reminds me that Singapore is a place to fall in love with... With the people and with the food. #Hawkerpedia
