Depending on where you head to, an order of roast duck can stretch you pretty thin, budget wise. In comes this roast duck specialist, which has outlets in both Textile Centre and People's Park Complex. Described to be a fusion between Peking duck and Hong Kong roast duck, the Roast Duck is priced at $15 and, judging from reviews, is both affordable and tasty. The ducks are sourced from Malaysia, and roasted for about an hour to cook through and develop their signature crisp, all while maintaining the tender, well-marinated meat. Even though it has just opened this year, The Duck Master has already amassed legions of fans — its People's Park location was once reported to have a three-hour waiting time. Thankfully for us, they have set up an online system, which makes the whole purchase process a lot more seamless. Place an order for the duck online and select your preferred time and location for pick up. Just be reminded that online orders may not be permitted for same day collection.

Serving less common supper fare, this humble 20 year old Geylang favourite specializes in Taiwan snacks like mee sua, tau huay and you tiao. Burppler Anna Chan says "Small portion but nice n worth it!"

for a no frills wallet-friendly authentic thai chow, you have to head to joe's kitchen. modest outfit but always a good crowd to satisfy their thai buds (if you get the pun here) fix. really like my thai fried vermicelli here - full on flavors and does not stinge on ingredients.

$5 for 12 freshly made wantons topped with a vinegary mala sauce 😍
