Following that highly expensive dim sum meal at Tung Lok Teahouse, my family and I went hunting around town for a much cheaper alternative. We believe we have found our answer in Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant! To make up for its relatively inaccessible location at Turf City, the dim sum...
Fish lovers would be spoilt for choice at codfish village. This neighbourhood stall in Toa Payoh, tucked at the first level of a HDB block, serves up more than 30 codfish dishes! With a name like this, you can certainly expect nothing less. Despite its humble location, the prices here...
Do you like toast? I happen to love it! Toast ranks right next to waffles and pancakes as one of my favourite snacks. With the commonest ingredients and a toaster (or charcoal), you can easily whip up some toast and it doesn’t even take much time. More importantly, it is...
Whether you are a Singaporean or foreigner, you would find a very unique and traditional Singapore dining experience at the Singapore Heritage Restaurant. I am a sucker for all things vintage, so on the restaurant’s kind invitation, I brought Mommy dearest down for a food-tasting session. My first visit to...

When I went on my solo trip to Hong Kong last year, the perpetually rainy weather was a real downer. But there are a few things I would still miss about Hong Kong such as its wide plethora of snacks and desserts, many of which employ a large use of...
The area behind Bugis Junction that spans Tan Quee Lan Street and Liang Seah Street is synonymous for being concentrated with steamboat restaurants. I use the term “restaurant” loosely here as these are just tiny eateries tucked into shophouse buildings. They tend to be cramped and accommodate no more than...
For those of you who love Hainanese chicken rice like I do, you are probably quite wary of the high fat and cholesterol content of this popular dish. The essence of a good plate of chicken rice lies very much in the rice itself. The most savoury rice tends to...
