New Places To Try

This $3.50 noodles were perhaps the best ones I have had in Singapore. No more going to JB to eat the herbal roasted duck and good bye dian xiao Er!

I am not a particular fan of salad. But recently due to health reasons, I began a healthy diet regime which consists of me trying out salads around the office area. Despite its slightly expensive price tag, this bowl of salad packs a punch, the amount of kale they serve definitely makes you full. The lemon roasted broccoli is also one of my favorite, along with the olive oil lime sauce. Sadly, they are trying out a new menu now and they kinda not appeal to me :(

Moved to the basement near one north mrt lies this simple looking yet pretty delicious BKT. Haven’t had a decent bowl since the old days at sin ming road. $10.50 including all extra charges for a set meal during lunch time inclusive or an extra drink and veggie dish doesn’t sound too bad for an occasional treat.

Usually I get them at hougang mall, but recently I have been frequently traveling to different malls in JB to get some really cheap food that is worth the money.

The key difference here is such that the Singapore version has little fish meat to offer while in Malaysia they give large chunks of meat (not sure if it’s sardine) but it’s definitely a kick for me!

A must order for those who loves eating paella, I don’t usually post stuff these days but gosh, I literally ate each grain of rice with the toughest restrain due to my low carb diet but just can’t help it to get that burst of freshness in my mouth again.

Maybe I shall try their tapas someday!

A place to give a try. Avoid the crowded timings though, the queue can be really long. Shrimps were terrifically tasty but I wished there were more of them...

$4 kolo mee at Bukit merah hawker centre. A pretty quiet place to have a late lunch! Noodles were really legitimately Sarawak style, the char siew and minced pork were not too hard, went well with the noodles!

For $18.80 — along Orchard Road no less — you get a massive portion of cubed sashimi on rice, pickles, salad, appetiser, chawanmushi, miso soup, mochi dessert and free flow green tea! Definitely value for money.

Gallery, sound-space, bar and omakase restaurant all rolled into one, DSTLLRY is the brainchild of music producer and photographer Andrew Lum. While the 10-course omakase menus here are fairly reasonably-priced at $99, you can fork out a fraction of that to savour their delectable dons instead. Pop in for lunch (noon to 3pm) and enjoy quality donburi options like Salmon Belly Don ($16.90), Miyazaki A4 Wagyu Don ($34.90), and Barachirashi Don or Salad ($16.90). Since you'll be sitting right at the bar anyway, how about a ordering a bespoke cocktail for a cheeky mid day pick-me-up? We won't tell.

At Krave, expect to find classic western café favourites with a Malay-flavoured twist. Find items like Kraving Ayam Bakar ($15.00) — char-grilled chicken served atop ketupat (rice cakes) drenched in a sweet and spicy sauce, and Cempedak Creme Brulee ($7) — cempedak being a fruit somewhat similar to jackfruit and unique to Southeast Asia. Fans of classic café grub won't be disappointed either, as you can find your fair share of truffle fries, lava cakes, pastas and pizzas. If you're in the mood for pasta, Tastemaker Veronica Phua recommends the Aglio Olio Pesto Smoked Salmon Pasta ($16) as well!
