Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

Chanced upon Meadesmoore and had a delightful meal. The crispy pork crackling was light and perfectly crispy, while the 35 day dry aged ribeye was really render, savoury, and cooked to perfection with beautiful char. Topped off with a lovely tiramisu (please try!), it was a great dining experience with warm ambience and attentive staff - highly recommended.

I recently had dinner at this serene omakase spot, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The elegant interior and gentle music created a calm atmosphere, perfect for savouring each dish.

The meal started with a clean and refreshing salad, which was a great way to open up the palate. Their green tea was wonderfully fragrant and paired beautifully with every course. The Otoro was the star of the night—extremely fatty and buttery, it melted in my mouth–especially when combined with a touch of wasabi and seasoned rice.

An unexpected favourite was the Castella egg. Made with anchovies, it was an intriguing mix of sweet and savoury that worked surprisingly well. Overall, a memorable dining experience that I highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a well-curated and delicious omakase dinner.

I recently tried an assortment of scones in several intriguing flavours, including Original, Maple Walnut, Raisins, Cranberries, and Truffle. Each scone offered its own unique taste, from the comforting simplicity of the Original to the sweet, nutty notes of Maple Walnut and the fruity bursts from the Raisins and Cranberries. The Truffle scone, with its distinct earthy flavour, was especially unique and unexpected, adding an exciting twist to the traditional scone experience. Overall, these scones provided a delightful variety that kept me wanting more. I also had the brownies, which were rich and satisfying.

One of the few Malay stalls you can find at this food centre, with a queue usually forms during lunch time by the CBD workers.

Variety of dieshes to choose from. I ordered the lemak curry chicken with fried egg and okra.

I don't fancy baguettes because most of the time, the outer crust is so thick and hard that I end up cutting my gums whilst biting or chewing on them.

Coffee Hut's baguette has a thin and crispy outer skin and is soft and fluffy on the inside. I really like that they do not stinge on the kaya and butter as the flavours come out strongly with each bite.

My parents enjoyed this so much that they had a repeat order!

Coffee Hut in Berseh Food Centre is one of my favourite spots to go for my morning cup of tea and kaya toast.

The uncle running the stall was featured in the press previously for spending thousands of dollars to a Hainan coffee master to learn the ropes of the trade. I don't drink coffee but his tea is one of the best for me in terms of consistency, flavour and aroma.

They make their own kaya sauce (which you can purchase in bottles as well) and their bread are toasted to order. The kaya has a nice strong pandan fragrance and a nice creamy coconuty flavour. One of the best in towns IMHO.

I also like their eye for detail. I'm usually there for a takeaway otw to work and they would pack the toast and drink separately to avoid melting the butter in the toast.

Founded in 2004, this Michelin Bib Gourmand stall often sees long queues for their delicious noodles.

Their braising gravy starts out starchy gloopy, but gets silky thin as you eat. Enhanced with black vinegar, minced garlic, sambal belacan, and parsley, this has savoury sweet herbal sour spice flavour.
.
The chewy thick flat noodles have a mild grainy sour sweet flavour, and together with the crisp bean sprouts with vegetal sweet flavour, picks up the gravy nicely.
.
The star is the battered shark nuggets, crispy outside tender inside, crunching satisfyingly with meaty savoury salty flavour.
.
Completed with tender braised pork belly with meaty salty savoury herbal flavour, and bouncy braised chicken egg with eggy salty sweet notes.

I love their wide variety of side dishes and how each side dish brought about different texture and flavours. For eg the sweet potato was sweet and crunchy, potato was peppery and the quail eggs were savory. I opted out of chilli and spring onion for my noodles so it looks kinda plain. The noodles tasted like the chinese mee sua but of a firmer texture. The broth was flavourful and milky but it doesnt taste too oily like tonkotsu broth. There were quite a few meat pieces and each piece was tender. I would recommend adding kimchi or red pepper seasoning to bring out different flavour.

There is always a long queue at Woodlands Sourdough after my pilates class so I was naturally rather curious about this hole in the wall bakery in the Thomson area and decided to check them out one morning when the queue was mercifully short.

For such a small space, I am constantly surprised by the amount and variety of pastries they churn out.

Kimchi and sourdough seem to be mismatch as they are both fermented ingredients. Surprisingly though the tangy kimchi and the subtly sweet and moist sourdough paired rather well. I also loved that they topped the pastry with scallions whose raw peppery flavour balanced the sour notes of the kimchi and sourdough.

I did find it rather pricey and a little niche for a neighbourhood bakery and sourdough is kinda a love it or hate it thing. That said, they seem to be doing rather well!

Idk what happened to the lamb curry the previous time but this was bomb as usual

The beef was ABIT stringy tho
