The weekends have been so enjoyable as of late #1, with time to roam Geylang on a Saturday evening to hunt for food (not advisable to do alone as a female). The Skewer Bar was my take out choice for my birthday this year aka when our nation went into circuit breaker mode, so to be able to dine in at the restaurant-bar this time round was something to be thankful about. The ability to plow through a menu, discover new items in successful rounds of orders- choosing to add on and having the liberty to order again was something we did not appreciate before.

TSB delivered just like they did as a takeout option- some of the items I’d return for was this piping hot grilled eggplant with kick ass chilli; tender grilled squid and the shishamo - oh that glorious beads of egg roe within and a crisp exterior.

It’s essentially chee cheong fun stuffed w youtiaos but this dish was so unique & really good! Youtiaos were crispy even tho they were soaked in the sauce & the rice rolls were just the right thickness! Don’t see this at other dim sum places so we would definitely come back for this (& maybe even try their other rice rolls bc they got a variety!)

Beef Bánh Mì ($4.50) + Pâté ($1)

Pâté is the way to go! I consider it an essential in a Bánh Mì. As the Beef option doesn’t come with it, I added some.

Beef is surprisingly good, for someone who usually go for Ham option, I like the tender and juicy beef a lot.

If you love spicy, their chilli is 🔥

Recently featured in many media platforms, @reimondoseafoodcongee is a new addition to the hipster hawker clan at Pasir Ris Central Hawker Centre L2. Starring silky Cantonese-style congee that’s cooked in a Japanese-style umami-rich stock, the fresh seafood are first stir-fried in a wok over high heat before being mixed in, so as to infuse the desired wok hei into the congee.

We checked out this quaint little lok lok stall barely weeks into their operations, and was mighty pleased with their food 🥰 I mean you can’t really go wrong with deep fried food, but what I especially love about Yummy Singapore is their wide range of ingredients + UHMAZING homemade sauces. There’s a fucking solid satay sauce, an honestly punchy chilli sauce, and a rather addictive sweet chilli one as well — one for any occasion really 😉 And what more, every ingredient was fried perfectly (read: nothing was burnt) which isn’t something you can always be assured of across the causeway.

Came across New Ubin on Grab and noted they have Lamb on their menu. Decided to give it a try as it’s rare to be able to find Lamb on the menu of Grab’s list of merchants.

They did a fabulous job in having it done just right - medium, where it’s browned on the outside and pink inside. The sea salt flakes were packed separately in a container, so you can sprinkle the amount that you’d prefer. 👍👍👍

Satay ($6.50/5pc)
Mee Goreng ($15)
Fish head curry ($36)
Overall ⭐️ 4/5 ⭐️
🍴The #satay at this outlet was executed really well (better than the last we had from chijmes) with a delicious char and tender meat paired with a flavour and thick satay sauce. Loved the balance of peanuts with what I think was pineapple that gave a slight sourness and nice tang. The #fishheadcurry was quite light in flavour and lacking fish aroma. Although there was quite a lot of vegetables, there was only a small portion of fish which couldn’t quite justify the price paid. We did enjoy the #meegoreng that was nicely fried to have good texture and wokhei.

SO DAMN ADDICTIVE, it’s impossible to stop at one. surprisingly liked the sweet ones better but both had equally flaky, buttery pastry and the optimal skin-to-filling ratio👌🏼

Featuring their palm-sized chicken leg, basmati rice, green chilli sauce, sambal chilli and cucumbers. Note that if you takeaway, you don’t get any keropok and soup.

Really SEDAP😋. I can imagine it to be even better if I eat it there on the spot. Spice lovers will definitely enjoy this!

They say this is michelin recommended 💪

Definitely smooth and slurp worthy in it's black bean sauce glory that isn't too salty. However it's missing that much craved for strong wokhey taste. Beef is soft and they gave us alot too. ($12 goes well for two people)

We ordered the luohan veg, which surprised us because it's $14.

Overall, a hearty meal in the heart of bustling geylang.

𝐊𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠’𝐬 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐞 is one of our to-visit place whenever we have wantan mee cravings! Loves their dry version with egg noodles tossed in ketchup together with their homemade chilli sauce, generous servings of charcoal charred char siew, homemade wantan and crispy pork lard! Their egg noodles is very silky and springy, taste so super good even when we tapao it back home to eat, it doesn’t turn soggy at all! Charcoal grilled charred char siew was da bomb, super flavourful, smoky and super tender juicy, not dry at all. Wantan mee can be found everywhere but its not easy to find good ones, 𝐊𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠’𝐬 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐞 is definitely on our top list and we would highly recommend you to go try it if you hadn’t, you will surely get hooked to it like us too!⠀

Located under a HDB flat along Sim's place, this 28-seater makes a quiet nook to spend relaxing afternoons. Coffee's smooth and a good deal at just $4.80 for a latte. On food, count on the kitchen to dole out unpretentious fare — favourites include the fork-tender Beef Cheek ($16.90) and a generously portioned Chilli Crab Pasta ($14.90).
