Guiding you to good food & best restaurants in Singapore

[LAVENDER, SINGAPORE] Among the old shops and antique buildings in the area lies @siyuan.tangshuipu , which offers a curated list of hot and cold desserts that were absolutely delectable. This is my repeated visit, as I liked how their desserts were not too sweet and very natural tasting.

We decided to get desserts that we have not tried before, and their Chendol 🍧 ($4.50) was such a good choice. The amount of gula melaka and coconut milk was perfect; it wasn't too sweet nor too rich. The gula melaka itself was very thick, and I loved the salty finish towards the end. The red beans were well cooked till soft but not mushy, giving additional texture to the dessert. Very satisfying and good to share!

Their Mango Sago 🥭 ($5.50) was also another good choice, as it wasn't too sweet and I love how it tasted like it was made entirely with real mangoes! Many places use alot of syrup, which you can tell by the flavour. There were loads of other ingredients as well, like the random jelly balls that added texture to the otherwise smooth dessert.

Definitely check this out if you are around the area 😍 can't wait to go back to try their Orh Nee again!

Paradise Pizza absolutely nailed it! The Deep-Fried Burrata was crispy, gooey perfection, but the real star? The Mentaiko Lemon Butter pasta—so tangy, so rich, and just the right kick of umami. Honestly, it’s the kind of dish you’ll be dreaming about for days. The pizza was good, but that pasta? Total game-changer!

With many mid tier udon places popping up, tamoya udon is still one of my favourite mid tier udon spots in Singapore.

Got the chance to try their black garlic tonkatsu udon, and loved it —- gobbled it down really quick.
Managed to get 30% off which made the price reasonable.

Service here is exceptional! We were served cold towels as soon as we were seated and offered the menu.

Ordered the lunch set ($48++) and picked the oyster and mushrooms and the chicken leg.

The oyster and mushrooms really whet my appetite with the umami wood fired mushrooms paired with the delicious oyster emulsion. I wiped up every last bit of sauce.

The chicken leg was juicy, crispy and perfectly seasoned (but somehow tasted like bacon!).

Custard puffs were sold out. Thus had to get their custard tarts instead. Somehow it works. The tart crust was rather Solid and crunchy. The custard is damn food as usual.

Balmoral bakery has been around for decades, this old school bakery has provided me my birthday cakes when I was a young kid in the 90s.

Balmoral has been in sunset way, way before it become a hip area it is now. Sunset way used to be an old neighbourhood with wet markets and provisions shops.

Despite the low google reviews of malaysia chiak in general, the CKT here is rather not bad.

Got slighy Wok hei.

+1 for extra egg.

Feng Food turned out to be a pleasant surprise that surpassed expectations. Both the Deluxe Dry Noodles and the Braised Meat Rice were standout dishes, showcasing flavors and textures that went beyond the usual Taiwanese fare.

The Deluxe Dry Noodles had a perfect QQ texture—chewy yet tender, with a house-made sauce that tied everything together beautifully. Meanwhile, the Braised Meat Rice offered a generous portion of savory, melt-in-your-mouth braised pork atop fluffy rice. This hearty dish felt comforting and indulgent at the same time.

The Deep-Fried Marinated Pork Chop was another highlight. Perfectly seasoned and fried to golden perfection, it delivered a satisfying crunch while remaining juicy inside.

Even the Cucumber with Spicy Garlic, often overlooked at other places, was surprisingly addictive. The refreshing crunch of the cucumber combined with the punchy garlic and spice created an unexpected crowd-pleaser.

French beans, pork belly with tau kwa, otah, omelette, honey chicken. Is this the meal that ends our trips here? This was our favourite caifan for the variety and standard, but on this day the dishes were boring and mediocre, while the rice had so little gravy zzz. So disappointed.

had a delightful experience here with 2 memorable dishes - the bismarck blanc sourdough pizza which was fluffy and flavourful, and the tiramisu dessert which was the perfect finish to our meal. the portions were also decent and the ambience was quite cozy! recommended to anyone looking to have a dinner date while enjoying some Italian food :)
