Barakhath: Good and Cheap Indian Food!

Little India is somewhat like the "Final Frontier" for me or perhaps the "Undiscovered Country". You can walk along its narrow streets and forget that you are actually in Singapore! I actually find Indian food very tasty. The problem is that I can't stomach too much of the spices, so I don't eat it too often. But every now and again, someone would bring me to an Indian meal and I always end up wondering why I don't eat it more often!

Makan House by Ollela: Excellent Bika Ambon and other kuehs!

I spent several months perfecting my Bika Ambon recipe back in 2017. It must be one of the most frustrating kuehs to get right. The key to the kueh lies in the way it is baked. You really can’t do it properly in an ordinary oven, not matter what some blogs say. In the end, […]

Bama’s Kitchen: Grandma’s cooking Duck Briyani!

I am sure everyone has significant milestones in our own gastronomic journey. One of mine was my “baptism of fire” into Indian cuisine at the age of 13! Growing up in a Chinese family who seldom eat spicy food, I was caught unawares when my new secondary one friend invited me to his home for […]

Blue Diamond Restaurant: Super Spiced Dum Biryani

This restaurant is closed I think there are essentially two schools of foodies when it comes to Nasi Biryani. There are those who like a heavy Biryani where the spices hit you like a truck and there are others who like the rice to be light and aromatic and decide how much masala they want […]

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 […]

Saravana Bhavan: Intentionally Vegetarian

With iwatch_ueat, Nuffthing and davienne Ghee Roast “Rocket” Dosa Masala $3 I have said it before and I will repeat it again.
