Hak Seng Restaurant: The original Food Nazi
This stall is closed You might be familiar with the term “Food Nazi”. I used it for the first time in the blog in May 2007 in my post about an acrimonious old man selling Cheng Tng in Zion Road Food Centre. I first came across the term “Food Nazi” way back in 1998 when […]
Kedai Makan Kee Kim Huat: I wanna be a Food Nazi!
Claypot Rice for three persons RM27 Actually it isn’t too difficult to have lunch in JB. All you need is about 2 hours to get across the causeway, have lunch and get back to Singapore.

This stall is closed Shredded Chicken Noodles with Fish Dumplings (Her Giao) There is a popular saying amongst the Hokkiens that Teochews are very “Hao Lian” (Proud).

Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice: Cheap no Good, Good no Cheap
With Damien I guess it is part of the Singaporean character to look for things that are cheap and good. This is especially true when it comes to food. However, many foodies are also ready to fork out their cash when they come across really good food. The fact is that the “Good” is not […]
Empress Place Beef Kway Teow: Teochew Beef Kway Teow got no gravy one!
With SCS Butter Did you realise that most of the hawker food that we are familiar with are less than a century old? It’s true! A few of our most famous heritage stalls can trace their roots back to around the early 1900’s. That makes it about 3 or 4 generations from then till now. […]

Beach Road Scissor Cut Curry Rice: Sticky, Gooey, Goodness
I would bet that if you brought an Ang Moh friend to eat this Hainanese Curry Rice, he would think you were pulling a quick one on him. It’s a plate of rice topped with an unthinkable mixture of gooey chicken curry, braised pork and slimy soft cabbage gravy. If you had never eaten this […]
Mei Xiang Fish Soup: Unusually Un-Cheng Fish Soup
With iwatch_ueat and SCS Butter What do you look for in a Fish Soup? Some people go for Fish Soup that is very “Cheng” (clear). If you are the “Cheng” type, then you will be very disappointed with this soup. But if you are like me who like a bit of ooomph in the soup, […]

Mohd Sultan Rd Cheng Tng: Behave or you don’t eat your Cheng Tng!
