545 Whampoa Prawn Noodles: Traditional 3rd Gen Prawn Noodles!
It is said that our little island is progressing so fast that a lot of people are having difficulty finding things to link them back to the past. That old classroom where you started Primary 1, the bus stop where you used to hop on to get to school or the shopping centre with that […]
Simple Delites: Simple but Delightfully Delicious!
I haven’t really written much about Nonya/Malay kuehs. I think the reason is because when my family needs a Nonya Kueh fix, we just buy it from Bengawan Solo. They are very good and so easily available that I haven’t really thought about alternative places to buy my kuehs. But recently, my friend, Thomas, of […]
AR Rahman: Singapore should have a Teh Tarik Institute Too!
Following my video blog on how to make Teh Tarik, I am more determined than ever to find that elusive cup of condensed milk pleasure in Singapore. I must admit that when it comes to Teh Tarik, the Malaysians trump us hands down. They have made Teh Tarik into an institution… literally. Institute Teh Tarik […]
Temasek Indian Rojak: Not one, not Two but three Types of Prawn Fritters!
You like prawn fritters? I think they are one of the bests way to enjoy prawns because the whole prawn if fried so crispy that you eat the whole creature, shell, head, tomally and all. And that is where you get to enjoy the maximum flavour that a single prawn can provide. People go gaga […]

Allaudin’s Briyani: Briyani Nice
Shown here with fried chicken instead of the usual curry chicken There were 3 rows of Indian/Malay Muslim stalls, and each row having at least 3 stalls selling Briyani. Yet only this stall had a long queue. Ohhh, I am excited, the Briyani must be as good many people claimed it to be. But alas, […]
Rare Teochew Kueh – Ever heard of Chi Kak Kueh?
Ever heard of Chi Kak Kueh? Neither have I, and I dare to pride myself as Teochew Ah Bah! (Half past six one only) I was just walking around Tekka Market Food Centre looking for stalls with Adrian Pang’s or Seethoh’s face on them. Amazingly, for such an established Food Centre, there were very few […]
Sri Kamala Vilas
After my last blog on Sri Vijaya’s Thosai, the MakanGurus at the forum suggested that I also try Sri Kamala Vilas which served, in their opinion, even better Thosais plus they also served a pretty mean Chicken Masala. Phwa, with a recommendation like that, I rushed down to Sri Kamala’s Vilas faster than a guy […]
