My stomach has been a little sensitive for the past few days. I wanted to have something soupy for lunch and a colleague recommended fish soup from  Xin Wah Kee.   Although Xin Wah Kee’s Chinese name 新華記 is the same as the popular Hong Kong cha chaang teng 新華記, they are not the same […]

Hana K Food (Velocity @ Novena Square)

I was having a very strong craving for a good hot kimchi stew the other day, so I decided to check out the Korean restaurant that my colleagues have been telling me about.      Hana K Food looked like one of those fake Korean restaurants run by Chinese chefs so I wasn’t very hopeful. […]

Fatburger & Buffalo’s (Velocity @ Novena Square)

Gone are the days when hamburgers were considered junk food. Many people now consider hamburgers as proper meals and hamburger restaurants have been becoming more and more popular.  Lovie Yancey founded Fatburger in 1952.
