I'll start with He Zhong Carrot Cake. It is dubbed by many as the best in the West, and I'm now proudly one of those many. It is mind blowing! The perfect texture and taste balance, from the sweetness of the scrambled egg to the savoury carrot cake, I could feel my stomach getting full, yet my mouth could not stop chomping on this amazing food! If overeating is a sin, I'd gladly spend my afterlife in purgatory just for this cake.

Now let's move on to Zhong Zhong Fine Spice. The stall is a decadent display of amazing Chinese fare like Ngoh Hiang, prawn fritters, beancurd, yam rolls and you tiao, ready for the picking. Once you pick your battles, the sizzling tub of hot oil will turn your selection into delicious crispy deep fried happiness. Add a side of bee Hoon, and you'll be ready (just like me) to crawl back home after breakfast for a much deserved and needed nap.

We decided to give the Palette at Capitol Piazza a try on a sluggish Sunday afternoon, and good thing we did.

Tucked in the basement level, Palette is reminiscent of the typical atas indoor hawker food courts (something like a food republic). However the selection is quite good and we were chuffed to find an Ah Koong.

Although not spectacular, the food really hit the spot in a secret guilty way only crack cocaine can match. Flavourful slightly greasy noodles with salty crunchy bits and the spiced fishball soup were the perfect hungry man's teatime snack.

We arrived grumpy, we left happy. So consider it a cheaper alternative to your weekly therapy session. Enjoy!

Contrary to the plethora of praising reviews, we've had a bitterly disappointing dinner at Swee Kee.

First off, the food is just regular fare - many hawker stalls can top their quality. The prices...that's a whole different story. These guys charge an arm and a leg for no good reason.

Take for instance this plate. It is the saddest plate of prawn paste chicken on the island. It costs $8. And it looks like the leftovers of a scrawny little chicken who wasn't loved enough by its hen mom.

We did get something free: extra hairs (from unidentified body part) curling around our noodles. Too gross to post.

I've paid my sucker tax tonight, and I'm not going back there ever again.
