Beng Hiang Restaurant 茗香菜馆

You wouldn't miss Beng Hiang if you walked past it- the red paint and the traditional golden words against a black board. My mum ordered the dishes like a pro, because she had obviously grown up in the era of Beng Hiang.  I wonder if it looks like Chinese New Year all year round!  This was the Duck salad ($25) that was very appetising. Rock melon, jellyfish, duck slices, some crunchy vegetables here and there. One...

Rochor Centre

In a few years, these iconic buildings will no longer be part of our landscape in the name of development.  Somehow, the striking colours drape the area with a layer of innocence- remember the primary school days where the colours of the colour pencils or crayons we used to pick up were either red, blue, yellow or green? Blue for skies, yellow or orange for the sun, green for the grass and red for the flowers among the grass. A sheer mark...

The Tastings Room

I walked out of The Tastings Room thinking, wow I need to come back here again. And I don't feel this way that often because often something is lacking before it can be considered a perfect meal. But the experience here was near perfect- the food, the service and the ambience. We had a group of seven and we requested for the White Room in the Tastings Room in advance, a place where we enjoyed complete privacy. When we first arrived, one waitress...

The Dunearn

We wanted to celebrate a friend's birthday today so we headed down The Dunearn. We sat outside and there was plenty of greenery (Botanic Gardens), which is really a beautiful sight, provided that there's some wind. Otherwise, all that will be running through your mind during your meal is when it can end so that you can escape indoors.  Before our dishes came, we were served some foccacia bread. Can't emphasise enough how much I love...

Peach Garden 桃苑

We went to Peach Garden at Novena for dinner yesterday. It's along the main road, so you probably won't miss it.  We ordered the Roasted peking duck ($60). Tasted like your typical peking duck. Came with some prawn crackers. I'm not a fan of wasabi because the word that pops in my mind when I think of wasabi is- pungent. People may think that wasabi is the greatest thing ever, but sorry, I don't share their sentiments. But anyway,...

Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee

Best Hokkien Mee in Singapore. Is there any other way I can say this? Alright, Nam Sing Hokkien Fried Mee has the best hokkien mee in Singapore!  (photo credit: Love Singapore Food) This doesn't taste like your ordinary hokkien mee. Dry version of the ordinary soup-soaked hokkien mee, yet hidden with gravy goodness within the nook and cranny of the noodles! The result is that you get dry noodles that are actually don't feel dry,...

Tuck Kee (Ipoh) Sah Ho Fun

My knowledge of sea animals is like next to zero. To me, crayfish is like the cousin of lobster with a texture that is slightly less chewy than lobster. Speaking about lobsters, I sorely miss the lobsters I could get from Boston's supermarkets at USD$6.99 (on sale) for a very decent-sized lobster!  It's not that often that you get to see seafood such as lobsters or crayfish in hawker centres. Sure, you have your zichar stalls that sells...

Joe Hill's 3D works at Bugis

The dearth of food posts can only be attributed to a necessary evil called school. That's not really an excuse, I know, but I'll probably will be back with one this weekend, and another next week. Not like the above is of any importance. What is more important is Joe Hill is in town! An incredibly talented artist, his works are going to be there from 8-19 February 2012, while he is going to be on site from 8-10 February from 1030 am- 130 pm and...

Harry Potter Variations

I often resist the urge to post unrelated (albeit interesting) links on this blog, but I found it impossible not to introduce this link. For all you Harry Potter fans who can hum the Harry Potter tune with the snap of a finger, this is for you....
