Also known as squid ink pasta which is much raved about pasya brava. Good oceanic flavours with a firmer pasta, not at al dente, but most locals dont loke al dente anyway.

Must order the London Roast Duck, and that braised noodles with half lobster. This silly tofu with spinach is a good way to get your greens in too. More on www.ms-skinnyfat.com Active link in bio.

Tossed in thick, creamy carbonara sauce it was absolutely delish. Generous amount of grilled, juicy chicken chunks didn't lose it's own flavor despite being covered in the sauce. Recommended for a main.

Located at a corner of a hawker shop, this stall serves a really good burger. The price is worth it considering the good quality of the beef patty. The meal comes with fries, bacon, caramelized onions, and delicious cheese sauce that you would have to pay extra in other burger places. Other options in the menu are equally enticing. Definitely would come here again for the food.

Handmade pappardelle with lamb shoulder, $26. The texture of the pappardelle was perfect, complemented by the savory lamb shoulder ragu for a comfort meal indeed.

Previously at Guillemard Road, Char has relocated to Jalan Besar just opposite from Kok Kee Wanton Mee. Occupying the first and second level of the Singapore Lee Clan General Association, this industrial chic restaurant dishes out quality Hong Kong-style roasts in air-conditioned comfort. If you fancy, bring a bottle of wine to share (corkage is only $25). Budget 100g of melt-in-your-mouth, super fatty Special Char Siew ($7/100g, minimum order of 300g) for each person in your party and be sure to pre-order your roasts while making a reservation to ensure you get your share before they sell out! The wok hei-ladened Beef Hor Fun ($12) and the Salted Fish and Chicken Fried Rice ($11) are great for sharing — portions are big and pair well with the roasts. If your group of friends or family gets particularly loud, opt to sit on the second floor — it’s almost like having a private room at no extra cost and you can have whole thing, well…not have, but, like, borrow for the night.
Avg Price: $16 per person
