Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

it is slightly bigger than the smallest cup. worthy $6.50 for 2 cups and with 2 toppings.

We’ve been coming here for 30 years. Excellent fish head curry and chicken liver. The other dishes are not great, but what the heck, you should come here for the fish head and the atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service. The new US Ambassador (who is Indian from India, not Native American) should come as a neighbour to renew with his roots.

Enjoyed the House Feast and Cheese Potato Jeon, both were very well prepared. The short rib was tender and flavorful, and the potato jeon had a nice crispy texture which other places do not normally have. Appreciate Daniel’s attentive service and helpful recommendations.

Great Korean BBQ experience with very tender meats, especially the short rib. The Cheese Potato Jeon was crispy and unique, and Daniel helped grill the meats and showed us how to pair them with the sides. Loved the pickled squid and spicy kimchi.

Skin was crispy, salmon was tender. Mash was creamy.

Established in 1998 by couple Hassan Abdul Kadir and Aminah Binte K. Omar, this legacy brand is amongst the most well-regarded in Singapore, counting Southeast Asian royalty, dignitaries, and heads of government amongst their customers. Today, it remains family-run by their descendants, including founder of Crave Nasi Lemak and their eldest son, Doctor Abdul Malik Hassan.

The otak-otak / otah / spiced mackerel fish paste is pliant and soft in texture, carrying fishy savoury spice flavour. The turmeric marinated and battered chicken wing has a lovely crunch to the exterior, a warm tender juicy chew to the interior, and lovely meaty savoury salty spice flavour. Their grainy sambal tumis / stir-fried chili paste has a bigger sweet salty spice flavour kick compared to elsewhere. Additional crispy bits of batter lend an addictive crunch.
