Tried the kueh salat, bakar pandan and bingka ubi, all familiar and nostalgic bites. The pandan custard on the kueh salat was smooth and fragrant, though the glutinous rice could’ve been softer. Bakar pandan had a nice roasted edge and bingka ubi was chewy with a golden brown top. These may not be the most refined versions around but they’re good enough to satisfy a craving for traditional kueh 》 $5.50 / 5 Pcs

Toothfish/snow cod marinated in a white miso glaze and grilled to a rich, buttery finish. The sweet-salty miso enhances the natural succulence of the fish, delivering deep savoury and umami notes. Beneath the crisp skin, the tender flakes simply melt in the mouth, making this dish irresistibly moreish. Each set is thoughtfully served with hot green tea, rice, miso soup, tsukemono, kobachi, and a refreshing salad dressed in roasted sesame 》$24.90 / Set

Made a trip to Bedok for my Thai fix. Went with the chicken tom yum noodle this time and it’s way better than the seafood version since the prawns aren’t always fresh. Broth still packs that sour-spicy punch though.

Also got the deep-fried pork with garlic — crispy, garlicky and perfect with the sweet chili dip. The Thai vermicelli salad was fresh and punchy with a good mix of seafood and heat. Still one of my go-to spots for no-frills, flavour-packed Thai food.

Dinner at Sing Swee Kee was great! Chicken rice was flavourful and had the right texture. It also pairs really well with the chilli. Definitely will come back!

Masala Dosa with the usual sides.
Could be a regular to this.

Crisp and flaky pastry wrapped around curried potatoes, tender chicken and a slice of egg. Each bite is aromatic, savoury and just the right amount of spicy that rounds everything out 》$2

Classic, fuss-free chicken rice that hits the spot. I get both poached and roasted chicken, drizzled with soy sauce and sesame oil, plus a light chicken broth on the side. The meat is tender and juicy and the rice pairs perfectly with the garlic chilli and dark soy sauce. Simple, comforting and exactly what I’d expect from a good old-school chicken rice plate.

(M Size - $4.40) I choose Sakura Konjac Jelly and also opt less ice and no sugar. but at least their winter melon was quite refreshing with sour lemonade. their Sakura konjac was quite chewy and not that hard after a while.

Silky noodles in a rich, herbal broth with tender slices of lean pork. Perfectly comforting, especially on a rainy night when all I want is something warm and nourishing 》$5

Great find in kembangan area! This stall serves free flow sweet potato porridge, and dishes in Zi char style. The fu yong egg was super fluffy. Would definitely recommend. We also order black bean paste fish slices and pork ribs and spinach which were all very fresh.

My go-to spot in Bedok for fishball noodles! They serve handmade fishballs that are light, springy and full of flavour. It's easily the highlight of every bowl. Each serving comes with a comforting mix of fishballs, meatballs and herh keow (fish dumplings). While the meatballs aren’t handmade, the quality of the fishballs more than makes up for it.

What really elevates the dish is their sambal paired with crispy pork lard. It's bold, punchy and addictive. It clings beautifully to the mee tai mak, making every bite satisfying 》$4 (Regular) / $5 (Large)
