Restaurant Home: Big, Fluffy, Ugly Paus like those in Johor!
I had my most memorable Pau encounter years ago when my friend David brought our family to Wee Hoi kopitiam for the “grandma” pau. The paus were big, fluffy and rustic looking — something you would expect grandma to make. We arrived at the kopitiam at 12.30pm, sat at the table and waited. There was […]
New Ubin Tampines: Back to Ulu Zi Char Concept!
When I first wrote about New Ubin Seafood in 2011, they were still located amongst the automotive workshops in Sin Ming. The place was the unusual place to find a zi char but it suited New Ubin's founder, Pang Seng Meng, really well as it was the kind of ulu (remote) place that would remind you of Pulau Ubin itself!
Nasi Lemak Specialist: Basmati Rice!
The idea of using basmati rice for nasi lemak is not new. Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak at Adam Road Food Centre had built its reputation upon it and even managed to win the patronage of the Sultan of Brunei! What is surprising is that aren't more nasi lemak stalls capitalising on Selera Rasa's idea after so many years.
Wang Yuan Fish Soup: Next Gen Salmon Fish Soup!
Healthy and delicious fish soup with a wide variety of fresh fish to choose from, quality vegetables and a big emphasis on safety and health. I used to think "healthy hawker food" was an oxymoron. Not any more! There is a great future for healthier hawker dishes, but stalls need to think out of the box like Wang Yuan and not just toss in some extra veggies just to earn the healthy label.
Hai Chang Fish Head Steamboat: Gem of Tampines Round Market at night!
We were quite pleasantly surprised by the sambal kangkong which had a wonderful smokey aroma and a great prawny umami. The fact that they fry their own sambal came as no surprise. But the real skill comes from the deft hands of their Singapore born Cze Char chef who managed to capture the smokiness of the wok fire! This is the best Sambal Kangkong I have had for a long time!
A1 Penang Chendol: You like Big Beans?
Updated 21 Feb 2020 There is a change of ownership of this stall Talk about Chendol and almost everyone tells me that the chendol in Malaysia tastes so much better than Singapore. Whenever I head up to Penang, I never fail to have a bowl of Teochew Chendul along Penang road. I have always suspected […]
The Top Table: Looking for a Hang Cheng Pai Lobang?
Pan Fried Chicken Breast wrapped in Prociutto With all the financial doom and gloom being reported in the news daily, a lot of people are making the extra effort to look for great deals. So much so that we even have a thread in the forum for people to share information on great deals called […]
