Spotted a couple of Japanese taitais tabao-ing these strong fragrant curry chicken, I stopped and joined the queue at Fu Xiang Kitchen (located at Food Junction, basement 1 of Great World City).

The big poster at the stall claims that they have Bishan's best curry chicken which won an award. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

My mom cooks curry chicken so I have an idea how tedious and how long hours of effort is put into attaining flavourful, rich and creamy gravy, as well as getting that tender chicken meat that falls right off from the bones. Fu Xiang Kitchen nailed it! ๐Ÿ˜™ By food court standards, this is probably the best curry chicken that impressed me.

Returned to South Union Park again because they seemed to have added in a new dish to their menu recently. Yet another dish that is hard not to fall in love with here โ€” those plump, seared prawns that delivered a good bite and provided a hint of crustacean sweetness, the Risotto that isn't too wet nor dry with bits of breadcrumbs within for a crunch whilst carrying a tangy (from the Basil Pesto) yet slightly sweet flavour of carrots with bits of small, chopped up pieces of carrots for a bit of texture. A dish that again manages to impress โ€” one that encompasses all aspects from execution to flavours and texture; a new favourite found!

Love that it is surprisingly not too oily and light so it's incredibly addictive @alteregosg

Tears of joy with every mouthful. La vita e bella. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Ok, that's all.

This plate of mini pillows of potato with shredded pork sausage was absolutely delish. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐ŸผUsing just enough flour to bind the mashed potatoes together, the dumplings' texture was absolutely spot on! I loved mopping up the tangy and umami sun-dried tomato jus (it was more like a purรฉe, really) with the gnocchi pieces, along with a few slices of shaved fennel to brighten up the whole ensemble. ๐ŸŒŸ

I've first sampled their hearty dishes at the Keppel Club restaurant and I fell in love. Sadly they are too far out and I could never find a village to eat with me. Anyhow, they have these smaller Tingkat concept at Tangs Orchard and Marina Square! @gnorijul and i had a set each which comes with a meat dish, 2 sides, a dessert, jasmine rice and a drink. Yummy rendang, super flavorful ayam buah keluak (a fast @gnorijul has yet to acquire), alongside a heady chap chye, sayur lemak (using sweet potato and its leaves), nyonya tau hu, and chinchalok omelette. The sets are priced from $10. Super worth it!

Happy would be an understatement when I discovered that PeraMakan has opened a stall within Food Republic at VivoCity. The setup may be more casual and affordable than their fully fledged restaurant, but the food is still just as good.

Choose from a variety of combo sets that comes with a protein - including Ayam Kleo and Babi Pongteh amongst others - and 2 sides of your choice. My Ayam Buah Keluak exuded the pungent, oily nuttiness that is the unmistakeable characteristic of any good Buah Keluak sauce, blanketing the tender whole chicken quarter and rice in thick, inky blackness. I picked Chap Chye and Nyonya Taufu as my sides, and these were redolent with umami from the very decent prawn stock used. Utilize the chilli sauce on the side sparingly, because it packs a big wallop of heat! Overall, a filling and value for money meal that's been made with love.

Taste: 3.5/5

From noon to 2:30pm on weekdays, this China Square joint serves up a special lunch menu of hearty lunch classics, all priced at an affordable $13.90 and below. The crowd favourite is, without a doubt, the Spaghetti Carbonara with Homemade Guaniciale ($10.90). Expect a huge serving of al dente spaghetti wearing a luscious sauce and tossed with fried shrimp, bacon and a soft boiled egg. Portions are very generous, so be prepared for a food coma. Take the long route back to the office, or save this for when the big boss is out.

The affordable lunch set from this lovely eatery tucked away in the east in a real gem. We tried almost everything on the lunch menu and everything tasted great. Nothing tasted heavy handed, the pasta was generous with prawns and the duck/chicken confit was delish. The mushroom orzo was definitely a winner too. Definitely pop by for the lunch which was $18 for two courses, and $23 for 3 courses which was a steal for the quality and generosity of ingredients. Will def be back!

Crab is crispy, generous portion. But a little sour for my liking. Zy likes the baby potatoes. Overall recommended
