Ah Heng Curry Chicken Bee Hoon Mee

I’ve been back at work (have finally graduated yay!) for the past four weeks. I don’t actually miss school that much, it has been nice to be back in routine again. Office politics however? That’s a different story.

Terra by Seita

I was a little confused when I first arrived at Terra. Lights were on, but there was a huge “sorry we are closed” up front. Upon confirmation that the restaurant was indeed open, I thought that it would be good to inform the restaurant about that faux pas. However, the responses I received were pretty weird and that put me off a little. The manager explained that they were still in soft launch mode and were only accepting customers who had made a booking and no walk ins… BUT STILL!

Rong Chen Bak Kuh Teh

On the topic of the peppery bak kuh teh versus herbal bak kuh teh, I am a fan of the peppery soup version (I.E. the Singapore version). When I need my fix, I always head to Rong Chen bak kuh teh, which happens to be located a short drive away from my housing estate. 

Project Acai

Was browsing through Instagram and saw that T had posted a picture of her acai berry fruit bowl together with a New Year’s resolution to eat healthy.

FOC

For a restaurant located in Singapore, FOC gets quite a bit of flak for what it means. After all, in local slang, FOC typically means “free of charge”

Heng Gi Goose and Duck Rice

After our previous jaunt to Tekka market for briyani, M and I headed back two days later for some Teochew braised duck instead.

Santouka Ramen

The blurb explaining the birth of Ramen Santouka goes like this:

“One day, after watching Tampopo (a Japanese movie about a quirky ramen establishment), Santouka’s founder, Hitoshi Hatanaka and his family stopped at a ramen shop for a quick meal. Unsatisfied with the taste of the shop’s ramen, Hatanaka declared the next time he would be the one making ramen for his family.”

Allauddin’s Briyani

M offered to take me to Tekka market for some good nasi briyani. Briyani is a mixed rice dish with origins from India. It is usually cooked with spices, rice, meat and vegetables.

Hill Street Tai Hwa Pork Noodle

Less than one week to starting work again. Today I woke up with a craving for bak chor mee. Rather than go to the nearest coffeeshop to get my fix, I decided to drive down to Crawford Lane instead. I left my house at 10am after leaving a quick note to the fam that I was taking the car for 2 hours.

Yhingthai Palace Restaurant

On my birthday this year, my family took me to Yhingthai restaurant at Purvis Street. We hoped that it would turn out to be a better experience than at Gunther’s and we were right.
