It’s a great convenience to live in a place where you have regular access to cheap and good food. I am sure many of you have visited ABC Market before, and I think you would agree that it is a treasure cove of yummies! I can practically eat here everyday...
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...
I recently paid a long overdue visit to the Tiong Bahru Market and Food Centre. After its major revamp last year, the place appears to be much cleaner and more well-ventilated than before. There’s even an alfresco area where people dine under the shade of resort-style umbrellas. This food centre...
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 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...

Ever since the outlets started popping up all over the island, I find myself visiting Toast Box a lot. This is the sister chain of our favourite bakery, BreadTalk, whose best-selling bread is the pork floss bun. So it is no surprise that Toast Box offers a similar rendition. Pork...
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...
