Red Star Restaurant @ Chinatown, Singapore.

Dim Sum galore for brunch on a weekend.

Love the ambience, old school setting with bustling people and staff.

Ordered the usual stuff.

There was a few hit and misses but overall I find the food good. Will definitely come back with a bigger group to order more stuff.

Capital Nasi Dagang Kelantan @ Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.

Came here to check out the nasi dagang, and was worth the journey in the traffic jam! I haven't personally tried the real deal in Kelantan, but the dish here was lip smacking good.

Nasi dagang with beef rendang, gulai ikan tongkol(if I'm not mistaken local tuna), salted fish on top, some preserved vege and sambal on the side. The rice was excellent, gravy was absolutely addictive, meat was tender and the fish was nicely done.

Friend ordered the nasi dagang with fried chicken.

Some baby squid to share, nicely executed as well. A nice hearty meal and definitely would recommend to people.

Fhoul Madinah Istimewa @ Geylang Serai Market And Food Centre, Singapore.

Not sure why lately I have this sudden urge for kacang pol. So here I'm back again at Geylang Serai Market and decided to check out this stall.

A simple breakfast meal, of kacang pol, diced shallots, sliced green chillis and a fried bulls eye on top, accompanied by sliced baguettes.

Simple but yet delicious, I think I found a favourite for kacang pol in Geylang Serai Market.

This is my second round back at the stall after a few weeks, and decided to try the shakshuka. A bit oily but damn seriously addictive.

Definitely a stall worth checking out for some starters to share.

Foon Yew Foon Zhong Curry Laksa @ Stulang Walk, JB, Johor, Malaysia.

After reading about this place in JohorKaki, I was compelled to check it out.

Oh man, heaven on earth, so many ytf to choose from!

I went a bit nuts wanting to try a bit of everything.

And the best part? They have dry soya sauce noodles!!! Opted for koew teow and mee, Nice!

Ytf was in another separate bowl topped up with curry. Good stuff, and the curry was not too overwhelming, I slurped the whole bowl with no jelak.

The sambal was another excellent killer. I love this place. Definitely would return back here soon.

Piao Ji Fish Porridge @ Amoy Street Food Centre, Singapore.

Firstly, be prepared to queue, my average time here is 45 mins. Without no doubt, the food is good.

So what do you do after queuing for so long? Order the biggest badass bowl available. Good gimmick eh. I ordered sliced pomfret with fish roe. This bowl was sgd 15.

My friend's bowl of sliced pomfret, fish roe and prawns. 20 bucks!

The broth, the chilli, everything was delicious. I noticed the prices here have increased over the years, well I guess that's inflation. My personal preference will of course be Han Kee on the other end, but that's me.

Heap Seng Leong Coffee Shop @ North Bridge Road, Singapore.

This coffee shop is definitely one of my favourites, I've been back here a couple of times. The thing I go for is the butter kopi, half boil eggs and toast.

A nice dollop of butter melting in the kopi. Coffee is thick, rich, and love the slightly salty taste afterwards.

The kaya toast bread and half boil eggs were equally good. The best part? This place is so laid back, no queue and I feel like I'm transported back to my childhood days.

FCC @ Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Got here for lunch, and love the vibe, the atmosphere, the open air space, very old school. Heard the happy hours here was good as well, will probably check it out next time.

Ordered a fish amok with steam rice. It taste a bit like otah, same same but different. Whatever it is, I like it. I reckon from now on when I visit Cambodia there's two dishes I'll definitely go for, amok and lok lak. Lok Lak will try do a review next round I'm here.

This place is a bit touristy, but luckily the food makes up for it, a bit pricey but heck I love the atmosphere. They definitely did something right here.

Lucky Pho aka Special Pho @ Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

So I was walking up down this street looking for Lucky Pho, and based on the unit number the place is called Special Pho. Guess it's the same or change of management or what I wouldn't know. What I do know is, the food is good.

I ordered a beef pho the works (USD 2.50).

The condiments, love the chilli oil.

The bowl was big and generous of portions. The broth, yummy till the last drop, a good hangover food, light on the stomach (unless you went nuts like me with the heavy dollop of chilli oil).

Again their not stingy on their vegetables to add on your noodle soup. Portion seen above is for two pax.

We ordered fried springs rolls to share as an appetiser. I reckon I'll just stick to the pho next time.

The exterior of the shop, try not to miss the sign, as I know I did for a couple of rounds. I'll definitely be back here again for the food.

Ginza Yoshihiro @ Marina Mandarin Hotel, Singapore.

So been hearing about this new joint that opened at Marina Mandarin Hotel, and one of my good friends decided to buy me dinner here. Time for some good rolling drinking eating fun.

We opted for the basic omakase (which I think was 128++). I'll let the food pictures do the talking as halfway through the meal, the sake was sinking in beautifully.

The omakase was mostly sushi pieces which was sublime, truly superb. Each pieces was done meticulously, pair it with sake, good company, good staff, perfect.

Unfortunately the toro belly was out, they replaced it with a generous portion of uni roll..... which I can't complain:)

Ordered a sashimi platter add on. Good stuff. The staff was friendly, chef Bob-san was a chirpy guy, this place feels homely. A nice place to wind down after a hard days work over good sake, food and friends.
