Lamb skewers (羊肉串) was and still is one of my favorite childhood food. It was a cheap (¥$0.10 per stick) and tasty snack that everyone can afford to enjoy. It originated from Xinjiang of Inner Mongolia and it is commonly found in the Northeastern part of China. There are quite a few Chinese restaurants in Singapore […]
You know what I miss the most about Hong Kong? It’s not the mesmerising night scenery from Victoria Peak, it is all the delicious food. Many of these famous Hong Kong eateries have set up branches in Singapore, from Tai Cheong Bakery to Tim Ho Wan. There are still many Hong Kong delicacies that have […]

The Good Trio is one such restaurant with two outlets in JCube and Thomson Plaza. I can’t comment on the authenticity of the Hokkien dishes but my mother who is a Hokkien, loves their […]
Located beside Tempura TENTEN, you can’t miss 红锅HonGuo with its bright red and black signage. I have walked past this Chinese restaurant quite a few times but I have never wanted to try their food until I read the story behind their signature dish, Cross Bridge Vermicelli. I like the spaciousness of the restaurant all decked […]
I see a long queue outside this restaurant at the back of Raffles City Shopping Centre B1 every day during lunch hour and I was curious what is so special about this restaurant. One day, my curiosity got the better of me and a look at the menu reveals that this is a new dim […]
