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!

Whenever I head up to Penang, I never fail to have a bowl of Teochew Chendul along Penang road. I have always suspected that there was something in the coconut milk there that is missing in […]

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 […]
