Leslie’s Hokkien Mee Recipe

I made a few hacks to the traditional Hokkien Mee recipe so that it’s now more practical to make this dish at home! If you ever watch the hawker fry Hokkien Mee, you would probably tell yourself that it is just too difficult to do this at home. In this recipe, I simplify a few […]

Hammee’s: Hawker Hamburgers

Hawker centres have traditionally been the place where Singaporeans can find cheaper versions of restaurant food. In the 60's, it was the Hainanese who brought Western dishes like steaks, pork chops and chicken chops out from the expensive restaurants and into the heartlands. In the 90's the same thing happened with Italian pastas. The trend continues with the latest being a slew of gourmet hamburger stalls to hit the neighbourhood.

Good Eats and Hidden Gems: Alexandra Village Industrial Estate Food Trail

I am doing a series of food trails into the industrial estates to uncover good eats that might have escaped your foodie radar. I think there is a general idea that food centres located in industrial areas cater mainly for workers in the estate so most of us won't think about venturing into an industrial estate just to find food.

East Treasure: Chinese Restaurant by Astons

Aston Soon, has in many ways lived the Singapore dream. Starting with just a hawker stall in 2005, he has built an empire with 11 different F&B brands ranging from Western food, fried chicken, steamboat hotpots, Japanese food, and even a Japanese steakhouse. I have been a big supporter since blogging about the first Astons […]

Singapore’s Satay Culture: Satay by the Sea! #OurHawkerCulture

Satay holds a very special place in Singapore food culture. It is the only hawker dish where you can find many stalls at the same place, selling the same dish. You don’t find chicken rice clubs or bak chor mee clubs or roti prata clubs, but you can find Satay Clubs which are a throwback […]

Yu Cun Curry Fish Head: A head above the rest

I have driven past Yu Cun Fish Head Curry countless of times on the way home but it has never occurred to me that I should have a meal there. The shop's fascade is inescapable. If you travel along Upper Paya Lebar road, often enough, there is no way you will miss it.

Zazz Pizza: No bells, no whistles, just great pizza

The last time I had a great pizza was at 4P’s pizza in Hanoi. It was so good that I had to make a return visit the following day to get my pizza fix before returning home! Since then, I haven’t really come across a pizza worth writing about until my friend Hiran Fernandes invited […]

Hwa Xing Bak Kut Teh: #OurHawkerCulture Pork Bone Tea!

The word "culture" can be defined as "the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people or society" If you are still wondering if our hawker culture is indeed so unique that it should be recognized by UNESCO, then come with me to Yuhua hawker centre and then to Pek Sin Choon tea merchants to explore the relationship between pork bone soup and gongfu tea.

Mei Ji Fishball Noodles: #OurHawkerCulture The Kampung Spirit!

The kampung spirit is still alive and well in our hawker centres! I met with Philip Tan recently who has been selling fishball noodles at Bukit Merah Food Centre since 1980 and he related some fascinating stories of how the hawkers, about half of whom have been there for almost four decades, behave almost like one big extended family.

No Name Prawn Mee: Old school prawn mee

There was a time when prawn mee, wanton mee and mee pok tar could all be regarded as the same class of hawker food. Those were the days before Beach Road Prawn Mee decided to turn it into a premium hawker dish by offering jumbo sized prawns! Because of that enterprising move, Singaporeans are now […]
