Steven’s Tea Garden – Best Teh Tarik

As I was strolling along the huge Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur, the sign from a brightly lit eatery caught my attention. It screamed, “Best teh tarik in the world!” (or something to that effect). The place is Steven’s Tea Garden, a mamak restaurant chain. As a teh tarik lover, I had no choice but to go in. Right? Okay, actually it’s really... Read more →

Nando’s – Peri Me Away

I was in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for a short trip last week. One of the things on my checklist was to dine at Nando’s, the UK fast food franchise specialising in the Afro-Portuguese peri peri (or piri piri) chicken. (Whoa, that’s one multi-national chicken!) We don’t have any Nando’s restaurant here in Singapore (but we used to). My first peri peri... Read more →

Ricciotti Italian Deli & Pastry – Decadent Desserts

I don’t blog about desserts as often as I’d like. And that’s really because I rarely have any. After a sumptuous main course I find that there’s barely any room for dessert! But here’s one dessert that I love most in the world — chocolate lava cake. Not even a bellyful of pork ribs and buffalo wings can keep me from wanting it once the... Read more →

tcc – Pasta with Benefits

Do you live to eat or eat to live? For me, any food that doesn’t taste good just isn’t worth having. satay, grilled stingray, or a good curry. These are the kind of food that would keep me happy for a long time, but they are also undeniably sinful. Are scrumptious food always this unhealthful? That brings me to the point of this post. Although it may be rare... Read more →

Cold Pig Trotters & Shark’s Meat – A Taste of Adventure

Teochew delicacies such as cold pork trotters (猪脚冻) and shark meat are a dying trade in Singapore. I think such novelties appeal more to the older generations, as my parents have shown me. When we chanced upon a hawker stall selling these at Chinatown complex, they ordered the dishes as though they were buying your everyday chicken rice! Eating trotters, chilled,... Read more →
