Hungry Ghost
Besides Chinatown, Geylang is another place where you can find many Northeastern-Chinese (东北菜) restaurants. The restaurant that I wanted to visit has closed down so I ended up having dinner at Master He BBQ Restaurant 何师傅烤骨头. The Food Special Roasted Spine 特色烤棒骨 [S$4] is the speciality here. You have the grab the huge bone with […]
I visited the first Uya Japanese Unagi Restaurant 四代目菊川 in Wheelock Place back in 2019. The restaurant has since been renamed to UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi. There is now a second outlet in Oasia Hotel Novena which happens to be next to Marmalade Pantry. Eel A La Carte UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi offers some interesting […]
I have always thought izakaya are only for drinking but a recent business lunch at Sandai Izakaya in Novena made me realize these Japanese bars actually sell decent Japanese food. Appetizers Shirauo Karaage [S$6.90] are deep-fried white bait fish. These crispy treat are perfect with beer or other alcoholic beverages. Nothing beats Tori Karaage [S$8.90] […]
The cosy and contemporary design of Marmalade Pantry (Oasia Hotel Novena) makes it a good place for business lunch and dinner or catch-up with family and friends. The menu is short and concise with something for everyone. Starter You can’t go wrong with Truffle Fries [S$16] which has a strong truffle fragrance thanks to the […]
Shanghai Tan Pan-Fried Bun has recently opened a new outlet in 321 Clementi. I have fond memories of the food so my colleagues and I decided to check out if the food is still as good. Shanghai Appetizers Braised Pork Rib with Special Home-made Sauce 外婆家糖醋小排 [S$8.80] is finger-licking addictive. It has the perfect balance […]
A Buddhist friend recently brought me to eat vegetarian laksa at Kwan Tzi Zhai Vegetarian Cuisine. The nearest MRT station is Aljunied and you have to walk about 15 minutes to reach the coffeeshop. You should be able to spot Kwan Tzi Zhai Vegetarian Cuisine 關自齋 right away. I seldom see vegetarian stalls doing so […]
As compared to ala carte steamboat like Hai Di Lao, I prefer buffet-style steamboat where I can eat all I want for a single price. I did a search online and found Hao Lai Wu Steamboat BBQ. Hao Lai Wu Steamboat BBQ has two outlets – one in bustling Chinatown and the other at Burlington […]
Shin Minori Japanese Restaurant has been on my “to-visit” list for the longest time but I couldn’t find friends to go with me. I finally got to visit the outlet in UE Square with my colleagues a few weeks ago. The outlet at UE Square is clean and comfortable with ample wooden tables and padded […]
Nestled among the shophouses along Jalan Jurong Kechil is Micasa Kitchen & Bar. This laidback restaurant looks more like a cafe than a restaurant, but the food will blow you away. Micasa Kitchen & Bar is the brainchild of Singapore local Chef Micah. After graduating from Temasek Culinary Academy, Chef Micah honed his culinary skills […]
I must have walked past TungLok Teahouse at least a hundred times yet I have never tried the food there until I went there for a business lunch. Interior The interior reminds me of a Hong Kong cha chaan teng with stripped sofas in red and green colors. Industrial lamps in bright colors and black-and-white […]
