Fortune Food Homemade Popiah (Halal) @ Albert Center Market

Homemade popiah skin is very rare these days so I was surprised to discover this stall recently. It was only after the visit did I learn that Fu Cheng is managed by a family of four who started their first stall in Blk 69, Geylang Bahru Hawker Center. Thanks to the engineer-trained father who developed his Popiah machine to expand the production, they are now supplying to not only their 10 island wide outlets but also catering to many...

PeraMakan @ TANGS Orchard : Teh Halia or Kopi Susu Choux Puffs?

Rojak, Ban Chang Kueh, Char Kway Teow, Chendol....I didn't expect the number of food stalls at TANGS basement to increase to the scale of a food court all of a sudden. It was an unplanned decision to dine-in there with Pretty Mum as we were merely there to browse and buy some kitchen gadgets. With a weakness for all things Peranakan and spicy, we found a quick spot to try one of the stalls, Peramakan, since we only tried its Nyonya Buns and...

Lau Pa Sat Fishball Minced Meat Mee @ Lorong 7 Toa Payoh

Just as most people will bee-line for Chao Zhou Fishball Noodle, I thought Lau Pa Sat Fishball Minced Meat Noodles is also another unexpected good find in the hawker center. There were only two options; either Fishball minced meat or Mushroom minced meat at $3/$4.It was a quick decision for me to pick the Fishball minced meat noodles since the stall was named after it. The Mee Pok here is thinner than the average Mee Pok and could easily be...

Paris Baguette Singapore : From Bread to Bingsu

Bread is the first thing I think of when it comes to Paris Baguette Cafe so I was quite surprised to learn that it has launched 4 new bing su. Or maybe it isn't such a surprise since Paris Baguette is still a Korean franchise. The Matcha Bingsu ($12), which is a sizeable good-for-sharing portion loaded generously with sweet red beans, turned out to be an enjoyable one. The flakes might not be as fine as Oma Spoon but this is less sweet and there...

Shibuya Omakasei Cuisine & Sushi Bar

This small 12-seater Japanese sushi restaurant is not located in Shibuya but right in Singapore. Thanks to myfoodsirens recommendation, I've got in touch with some exquisite sushi since my last raw fish experience was back in Japan last year.  The menu is small but clearly focused on sushi and sashimi, so do not expect any chawanmushi, tonkatsu or any izakaya grub bites. I am not familiar with the average pricing but dining here do not come...

Floresta Nature Doughnuts : Kawaii Animal Doughnuts

Some people squeal in delight when they see these. Some people say they can't bear to eat them. Animal doughnuts are indeed cho-Kawaii (super cute) but I'm sorry to say that I am not a fan of the taste. Yes, these baked doughnuts do appeal to the health-conscious consumers since they are not deep fried and do not contain any artificial preservatives. However, each one was rather greasy with a strange stench of stale oil. Their cakey...

La Boulangerie Quignon Shibuya キィニョン : Full-Cream Scone Shop

When Shibuya Hikarie, the youngest landmark of Shibuya opened back in, one of the shops that caught my attention was this takeaway bakery shop called La Boulangerie Quignon. Meaning "crust" in French, Quignon stood out from the typical bakeries because it specializes in English scones that are made with full fat cream. Regular flavors include the marble chocolate, cacao orange, red tea and the best-selling maple. I've tried a couple and they...

Old Long House Popiah @ Lorong 7 Toa Payoh

I wondered if the old auntie who took my orders was having a bad morning as she was pulling a glum face. Fortunately, it was another auntie who was rolling the popiah, though each roll turned out smaller than expected. Nitty gritty issues aside, I must confessed that the rolls here are one of the better ones I've had.I doubt it was because I ordered "加辣" as the rolls weren't very spicy. Yet the medley of juices from the braised turnips, sweet sauce...

Dove Desserts @ Lorong 7 Toa Payoh: Chendol and Bubur Hitam

Much has been written or reported about this dessert stall which is famous for their homemade Chendol ($1.50/$2.20 for durian top-up) Memorable chendols so far include the ones from Papparich and Jin Jin Dessert but I would gladly add this to my list. It might not look impressive with all the colorful ingredients buried below but once you start stirring everything, it becomes a tasty bowl of brown slushie with lingering aroma of coconut...
