I recently discovered a new restaurant in Jurong East that specialises in Northeastern Chinese cuisine.

So Good Char Chan Tang in Capitol Piazza is very different from the cha chan teng that I have been to in Hong Kong. Cha chaan teng in Hong Kong are mostly housed in nondescript buildings, such as the Mido Cafe I visited. You will probably walk past it without realizing if you didn’t go looking […]

Standard Series features plain fried rice with different toppings while Crafted […]
