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...
Festive occasions are always extra special at tcc, my favourite café chain. I love the fact that they always come up with their own holiday specials, especially during Halloween and Christmas. This time last year, I was drinking it up with their Christmas edition beverage. Boy, how time flies! This...
When you’re dining under the Tung Lok group of restaurants, you are assured of decent food and service. Zhou’s Kitchen is the group’s newest addition, named after the owner himself. This mid-range restaurant offers a high-class version of Chinese zi char (home-cooked fares). While it is marketed as a place...
The annual Singapore food festival is on! From 4 to 27 July, foodie events would be happening at various locations across the island. Even unconventional foodie places like Sentosa and the night safari have whipped up a few events of their own! During the opening weekend, I celebrated with a...
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...

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...
Something’s brewing in the local Indonesian food scene with the recent sprouting of numerous food outlets, most notably at Lucky Plaza. 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...
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...
I’m not exactly a fan of Chinese food. After compiling the list of best and worst restaurants in Singapore for 2006, I realised that not one Chinese restaurant won or was even nominated for any of the “best” awards, while they scooped up the winner and runner-up positions for the...
