This little eatery commands a queue during lunchtime because people love it for the lip-smackingly good rice and noodle dishes that are cooked only upon order. Top of my list is their Nasi Goreng Kampong which is a spicy fried rice that has every grain of rice infused with the aroma of "sambal belachan". Stirred into the mix are a few strands of green veg (but that's fine because getting your fibre fix isn't why you eat this dish anyway). Topping it off are copious amounts of tiny crispy anchovies and "keropok" plus a fried egg. If you ask me, that's $5 well spent.

The Hainanese may have invented chicken rice but this is the more devilishly decadent version. Deep fried till the skin is super crispy, the chicken or "ayam" that this Muslim stall serves has obviously been spending lots of time wallowing in the most aromatic spices. Because let me assure you, the fragrance of those spices are so deeply-infused, it permeates every bite. Strangely, the chilli sauce lacks kick but with chicken so good, you don't really care. Plus it only costs $4!

Dahlia Cafe, a humble stall, "commands a queue during lunchtime because people love it for the lip-smackingly good rice and noodle dishes that are cooked only upon order", says Tastemaker Veronica Phua. Expect simple dishes like nasi goreng kampong and nasi ayam. This place is great if you want unpretentious comfort food to fill your tummy, fast. A little sinful perhaps, but sometimes nothing hits the spot quite like a plate of greasy, spicy, slightly sweet macaroni goreng.

There's something inherently lovely about marshmallows. Their pillowy softness, especially when slightly golden and gooey from being toasted, is heavenly in desserts. The magic is apparent in this tart where they blanket a sea of dark chocolate ganache atop a chocolate crust base. I like it paired with a glass of I Am Cafe's unsweetened house-made Ice Lemon Tea.

At $8 (before taxes) this is probably one of the most value-for-money cakes you can get! It's massive, and I can never resist those colours!! The cake is really dense, and slathered with cream cheese. Do not attempt this alone. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Finally get to have lunch here. Tried their signature dish, Fish & Chips. Very generous with the fries. The size of the fish is a bit big but the batter is very nice. Tastes different and original compared to other places that I've tried.
