Ng Ah Sio Bak Kut Teh has Teochew-style bak kut teh at Farrer Park  Bak kut teh (BKT) holds a special place in my heart: as a child, I used to look forward to the peppery pot of fall-off-the-bone pork rib soup that my grandmother would prepare on special occasions. Nowadays, when I can’t visit her during busy periods, I’d seek familiar comfort by visiting Song Fa Bak Kut Teh, as they’re easily accessible, with many outlets scattered across Singapore. Recently, I read about Ng Ah Sio Bak Kut Teh, similarly popular for their Teochew-style, peppery BKT, and knew I had to give them a try too. If you didn’t know, there are three styles of BKT in Singapore━dark, herbal Hokkien style, a similarly herbaceous, but less salty Cantonese style with cabbage, button mushrooms, and dried tofu, and my favourite, the clear, peppery, and garlicky Teochew style.  Here’s the story behind Ng Ah Sio: they started in the 1950s as a nameless street cart selling BKT around Hill Street and River Valley, before Mr Ng Ah Sio took over when his father retired in 1977. That was when he founded Ng Ah Sio Pork Ribs Soup Eating House, which has […]

Warm Up Cafe has legit Thai food in Little India  Thailand is famous for many things, including its rich culture, cheap massages, stunning beaches, and—of course—its exciting cuisine. While there are many Thai food places around Singapore, it’s arguably difficult to find one that nails the essence of Thai cuisine. Word has it that the dishes at Warm Up Cafe come close, so my colleague and I paid a visit to their restaurant in Little India to try their food.  BANNGKOK Street Food Review: Pandan Custard Steam Bread And Thai Milk Tea Slushie By This Halal Thai Restaurant Food at Warm Up Cafe It’s easy to be spoiled for choice here, with their extensive menu covering a wide range of Thai dishes including Thai boat noodles, rice dishes, meat platters, mookata and more. Selecting the right dishes can be quite challenging when everything looks and sounds so enticing. Among the options, there was one choice that required no second thought—Thai Boat Noodles, which comes with either Pork ($7.80++) or Beef ($7.80++). We settled on the beef option, which came with beef tripe, beef shank, beef slices, and meatballs.  Our favourite meat item in the bowl was the beef shank, which […]

Waa Cow has Wagyu beef bowls and chirashi don at VivoCity With three outlets across the country, not to mention its Japanese BBQ arm, Waa Cow has made a name for itself as a maker of delicious Wagyu beef bowls that are somewhat affordable. By affordable, I mean that its bowls of well-marbled and succulent beef are mostly within the $20 range, rather than the more stratospheric prices you might get at a lavish Japanese restaurant. Considering the brand’s success, it’s no surprise that they are opening yet another outlet on 27 May 2023, this time at Singapore’s largest mall, VivoCity. Waa Cow! have deemed this their flagship outlet, featuring an exclusive outlet-only menu with exciting new dons, small plates, and a kid’s menu. We were invited to try the new offerings, and came away thoroughly impressed. Waa Cow! Yakiniku Review: Yakiniku From $4.90++ With Truffle And Mentaiko Dips In Serangoon Gardens Food at Waa Cow! VivoCity While the brand’s regular Wagyu bowls are on the menu, we wanted to start with the outlet-exclusives that also incorporate Wagyu beef. And so the first dish we tried was the Truffle Royale Don ($36.90++), which featured not only the aforementioned beef atop […]

McDonald’s has new coconut soft serve and twist cone Not too long ago, McDonald’s introduced a Watermelon Twist Cone when they launched their new Sweet Paprika McCrispy. We’ve been having some real sweltering hot weather of late, so it’s super opportune that they’re now introducing yet another refreshing soft serve to bring us more respite: Coconut Cone. Hitting stores today, 29 May 2023, at 11am, this is McDonald’s taking on Singaporeans’ mad love for coconut shakes and more. This latest soft serve flavour is said to be milky and light, reminiscent of eating a fresh coconut, without being too sweet. It also reportedly doesn’t taste like artificial flavours or sweeteners, making it a truly decadent treat for our ultra hot afternoons of late. Get your McDonald’s coconut soft serve in several iterations: on its own, as a chocolatey Coconut Hot Fudge Sundae (price TBD), or in a McFlurry (price TBD) with Oreo!

Waffl is a Muslim-owned cafe in Jurong East  As a cafe enthusiast, I often come across the same ol’ food options at cafes I visit. Therefore, I am always on the lookout for interesting and unique concepts. When my colleague told me about Waffl, a Muslim-owned cafe that serves up waffle burgers, I was pretty excited, especially since they’ve received countless positive online reviews. Without delay, we headed down to the cafe to check it out.  Before Waffl, there was SugaRush, a start-up that was supported by Temasek Polytechnic’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship programme. They sold pints of their gelato and locally inspired mini mooncakes for a while. Later, they set up a physical stall at Eatbox in 2021 and began experimenting with new innovations such as the waffle burger.  Today, they take on a new name, Waffl, and have a cosy space located in a void deck along Jurong East Street. They even open till as late as 1am, which is good news for hungry night owls!  Food at Waffl We started off with the Spicy Chicken Waffl Burger ($9.90), which comes sandwiching a deep-fried chicken patty and lettuce, layered with mayonnaise and nacho cheese sauce.  Biting into the chonky […]

One of the highlights here is the Avo Pancakes (IDR80K/~S$7.17). These fluffy avocado pancakes are topped with juicy bananas and strawberries, served alongside decadent chocolate gelato, and drizzled with maple syrup.

NISSIN x IRVINS launches mala salted egg instant noodles Salted egg yolk and mala have been two of the biggest food trends to emerge in Singapore the past decade. If you, like us, are still enamoured with these flavours, then you’ll be pleased to know that NISSIN has collaborated with local salted egg yolk snacks company, IRVINS, to release an all-new NISSIN IRVINS Bowl Mala Salted Egg Flavour. This is the latest addition to the NISSIN x IRVINS series, which currently comprises the NISSIN x IRVINS Salted Egg Flavour Stir Noodles, where Singapore-style mee pok noodles get a slightly spicy, salted egg yolk upgrade, and the Hot Boom Flavour, a spicier take on the former.  The new NISSIN IRVINS Bowl Mala Salted Egg Flavour marries punchy, numbing mala spice with the creaminess of salted egg yolk to create a shiok, fuss-free meal that will satisfy you at all hours.

Wang Family Kitchen has an affordable buffet at just $18.90 If you want to find legit Korean food in Singapore, then Beauty World and its surroundings are the place to be. Hillview is one MRT stop away from Beauty World, but with Wang Family Kitchen located in a corner of Hillview CC, I’d argue it’s close enough to prove my point correct about the whole area being a great place for Korean cuisine of all varieties.  Run by a Korean family, the restaurant’s chill, comfortable atmosphere makes for a nice place to just relax and chat as you feast on their buffet set consisting of homely Korean dishes, which is a steal at only $18.90 nett per person! While the buffet dishes are neatly laid out at the counter, the buffet set is delivered to you at your table in small dishes on a tray, banchan-style. If you like a certain dish, let the friendly staff know, and they’ll help you refill your plate, though be warned, trying to clear the deceptively small portions that’s already on your tray left us stuffed with no room for more.   What’s on the buffet menu differs each day, and you can consult the […]

Best chirashi don in Singapore One of my go-tos at any Japanese restaurant is chirashi. The combination of fresh sashimi, pearl rice, and a hint of shoyu marinade makes for a satisfying, simple meal that hits the spot every time. If you’re in the same camp, here are some of the best chirashi don you can find in Singapore, with options to suit any budget. <$15 1. Chirashi King Kong  Chirashi King Kong is one of the most affordable options there are, with outlets in Tanjong Pagar, Millenia Walk, and more. Prices start from $12.90+ for their Light Salmon Bowl. Their Salmon Mentaiko ($13.90+) is a popular choice, with house-made mentaiko sauce dressing melt-in-your-mouth aburi salmon slices. Otherwise, the Bara Chirashi ($14.90+) is another popular one. Few things on the menu go above $20, including their King Kong Bowl ($18.90+), which comes with luxurious bluefin tuna belly and ikura.

Miss Saigon has Vietnamese food available 24/7 in Orchard Just two weeks ago, I found myself in Ho Chi Minh, having the most amazing, ASMR-worthy banh mi I’d ever had the privilege of trying. I might have left the city, but Saigon, it seems, is not done with me—for I then found myself not in Vietnam but at Miss Saigon, a little set-up in Orchard Plaza by the Banh Mi Saigon crew. Banh Mi Sai Gon Review: 123 Year-Old Banh Mi Recipe With Pig’s Ear Filling And More Food at Miss Saigon Having only spent a few days in HCM, it was tough to hit up every spot that I’d saved on my Google list. So when I saw a blown-up photo of Banh Mi Chao ($12) on the glass window at Miss Saigon, I had to order it. The banh mi menu at Miss Saigon is largely identical to that of Banh Mi Sai Gon, and features the same house-made ingredients, baguettes, and all that jazz. Banh Mi Chao is kind of like a breakfast version of its heavier, meat-laden counterparts. It usually stars sunny side-ups, pate, and sausage in a tomato-based sauce, served in a hot skillet with a […]
