Din Tai Fung is my favorite Chinese restaurant. The food quality at Din Tai Fung is consistently good. Out of 10 of My Favorite Din Tai Fung Dishes, I want to put the spotlight on Steamed Chicken Soup. Everytime I order this soup, I am always amazed how such a clear soup can have such depth […]
On a recent visit to Tai Cheong Bakery at Square 2 @ Novena, I was feeling generous and treated my colleagues to their famous egg tarts. As we sat down to enjoy the delicious egg tarts, the conversation strayed from Hong Kong egg tarts to Hong Kong bolo bao (pineapple buns). Bolo bao, otherwise known […]
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 […]
Wok hey, which can be loosely translated to “breathe of the wok”, is what all wok masters aspire to achieve. It is the telltale sign that distinguishes wok masters from other mediocre zi char stalls. From a single takeaway kiosk at the basement of Bugis Junction, Wok Hey has become a new favorite of Singaporean […]

This Mixed Chicken Gizzard Salad 凉拌鸡胗 [S$8] is […]
Rochor Original Beancurd is not famous. It is just a humble dessert shop in Selegie (I have only been to the Selegie outlet). There is nothing fancy about it. Rocher Original Beancurd reminds me of my teenage years which I spent in Selegie area. I wanted to introduce this classic dessert shop to everyone who […]
My girlfriend has been recommending me a coffeeshop stall in Jurong East that sells cheap and tasty Chinese steamed dumplings. When I was in Jurong East a few days ago, I decided to check the stall out for myself. Shan Dong Dong Ji La Mian Xiao Long Bao is one of the stalls in Fu […]
There is a saying “one man’s meat is another man’s poison”. This type of food are usually the ones that have very pungent smell or taste. I can think of two foods that fall into this category, one is durian and the other is stinky tofu. Durian is known as the “king of fruits”, you […]
Chicken rice is one of Singapore’s most iconic dishes. Everyone has an opinion on the best chicken rice in Singapore. Located on the second floor of Lucky Plaza in a old-school corner shop, Lucky Chicken Rice is quite a famous restaurant for its chicken rice. The restaurant is perpetually packed during lunch time but you […]
