Calling all night owls! If you’re looking for a nice supper place to grab some chow, you can visit Mr. Teh Tarik Cartel! As the name suggests, you can find teh tarik here plus a gazillion other drinks. There’s Milo Dinosaur, teh halia (ginger tea), various ice blended drinks, just...
Being a huge fan of ayam penyet (smashed fried chicken), I am always on the prowl for this sinful dish. But now that there are so many places where you can find it these days, it’s becoming hard to sift out the really good ones from the rest. The latest...
Many of us grew up with Disney cartoons. Some of us even had childhood dreams of visiting a Disneyland theme park one day. (I finally did that in 2007!) for me personally, this fondness for Disney characters continued even through adulthood. So when I checked out the newly revamped Anchorpoint...
As sinful as it is, satay (meat skewers) is one type of food I can never resist. I get my regular fix of chicken satay from the best satay stall at Lau Pa Sat. Besides the fact that it serves the best satay I’ve ever had in Singapore, the open-air...
I am sure many of you would be familiar with Mr. Teh Tarik at Far East Square. It’s the little pushcart stall with the green roof that sells all kinds of teh (tea). People would sit around on wooden stools to enjoy their drinks. At least, that’s how I remember...

Even with the advent of new competition, Pagi Sore, a long-established Indonesian restaurant at Far East Square, is still cooking up a storm after all these years! Upon hearing...
A friend and I were at Plaza Singapura scouring for a dining spot. There were plenty of options. Within the shopping mall there’s already The Manhattan Fish Market, ichiban sushi, indonesian BBQ at kopitiam and many more. And of course there’s Giraffe Bar across the road at Istana Park. I...
A friend recently asked me, “Since you dine out all the time, do you review every single eatery that you visit?” The answer is no. There would simply be too many pictures to take and too many posts to write! The rule of thumb I follow to decide if the...
One of my favourite local delights is chicken satay (meat skewers), and it has to be the Muslim version. Somehow satay made by the Chinese just don’t seem to taste as good, perhaps due to a different use of spices. The best place to get good satay is probably Lau...
Ever since I’ve been back from Japan, I have been eating ayam penyet (smashed fried chicken) almost everyday! What’s even more amazing is that I’m buying it from the same stall all the time. This particular ayam penyet stall is THAT awesome. Ayam penyet is a popular rice dish found...
