Butaou Japanese Sukiyaki Ramen @ Ramen Champion @ Great World City, Singapore.

One of those odd hours in between lunch and dinner, wanted a ramen fix. There's a ramen champion at Great World City near River Valley Road. Easy parking, and definitely not many queue. I love spicy food and honestly this is my second time there, and twice i went to the same stall, as they serve spicy ramen.


Ramen Champion have a few ramen stalls inside, you walk in, they'll pass you a tag, go to your respective stalls, order, pass the tag, and you'll get the beeper like the one in the picture above. Once it beeps, collect your ramen, enjoy and pay when you checkout at the end of the meal.


Ordered a spicy ramen, oh man, check out the oily red goodness. Added more chilli flakes/powder on top, it's good sweating out. The egg yolk was nicely runny, the pork was alright.


The broth is one of the better ones i've tasted. Or maybe i'm just biased as it's spicy. If only I can try the other stalls next time i'm around here, but somehow i doubt it, i'll definitely order this one again.

Diandin Leluk @ Golden Mile Complex, Singapore.

For thai food, i reckon the Golden Mile Complex is the place to be in Singapore. This complex have a few thai eateries which i find similar to Thailand itself. Keyword similar, the best is still in Thai! aha anyways went to diandin leluk, this is my second time, the food is good, just make sure you tell them, make it spicy. Somehow if you don't mention it, its pretty mild.




Yeap, pictures are bad, i was like eager to dig in to my seafood tomyam soup, love it. Excellent taste, decent on ingredients, and importantly its spicy until i was sweating!


A somtam (papaya salad) for some greens, err well not exactly greens, but psychologically its healthy in my mind. And yes it was spicy. Good stuff. Ambience is you won't feel like you are in Singapore, good Thai food.

TeoChew Steamboat Restaurant @ Joo Chiat Road, Singapore.

Steamboat, what's not to love about steamboat with some friends or family over communal food.


The menu is ample, almost everything we choose we have no complains. The quality is good, and taste wise is consistent.


The broth is nice, light and flavorsome. And the chilli dip, can't get enough of it.


One of the good steamboats i've tasted so far, but i have to mention it's a bit expensive. But for this quality i reckon its worth it.

Ah Chiang Porridge @ Tiong Poh Road, Singapore.

I just love cantonese style porridge, thick and gooey. A colleague of mine did mention to me there's one in Tiong Bahru.



Ordered a slice fish porridge, with on the side slices of raw fish(yu sheng) and century eggs. I have to say, prices are a bit steep, but you pay for comfort and easy parking. Not to mention, it's easy to get tables ( or was it just a weekday dinner). The raw fish was good, porridge was thick and gooey, just as I like it. One of those comfort food that I don't mind coming back.

A Noodle Story @ Amoy Street Food Centre, Singapore

A ramen stall with a local singaporean twist, i must say this boys have done something right. Every penny worth and all the ingredients are top notch.


They are only opened on weekdays, lucky for me i was on leave and decided to go check it out.


The noodles are similar to those wan ton noodles, i like it, eggs was good and runny, the pork belly was awesome. Wanton was good, but this is my first time trying a prawn wrapped in potato strings(killer!)


Run by two young guys, i'm happy to see a new gen of hawkers in the hawker scene and bringing affordable food to the masses. Keep it up!

Tony's Pizza @ River Valley, Singapore.

NY style pizza in Singapore? Big slices of pizza, i had to check it out.


No frills self service go to the counter to order. They'll give you a queue number and just grab a table.


Ordered a home made lemonade to quench the thirst.



This is the meat lovers slice, 3 types of meat at 8 bucks a pop. There's condiments on the side, oregano, garlic powder, chilli flakes and of course what's a pizza without tabasco! The slices are big, i had two of it and was stuffed. The crust is a bit thick and hard, meat was good, tomato base was good. A bit pricey, but if your having a craving for pizza, alone, one or two slices will do, this place place should hit the spot.

Kazu Sumi-Yaki Restaurant @ Cuppage Plaza, Singapore.

Where do you go to catch up with some old friends, have a nice chat, good food and good liquor/s? A japanese yakitori joint. Skewered meat on sticks + sake/beer, perfect.


To start the ball rolling, a cold sake to line up the stomach.


A starter to share, some octopus, a bit of uni, salmon roe, this is nice.Think we ordered from the black board daily specials.



The menu is extensive, my recommendation is get the guide to recommend, and which ever is your liking, just order it. Be it chicken/beef/pork meat, spare parts, try it, everything is done to the perfection here.



A definitely must order is the foie gras, oh man it just melts in your mouth. Good stuff!



This is by far the most expensive item we ordered, a 100gm wagyu steak, 40sgd. It's good, i kinda actually liked it. I normally would refrain from ordering sushi/sashimi or steak at a yakitori joint, but my friend actually made a good call by ordering it.


Lamb yaki, another thing i won't normally order, but they did it well. Nice amount of fats around the lamb meat, lovely.


As for desserts, a Yaki Crepe, i think the picture said for itself.

This place is one of my tops for yakitori, but i have to say, i was shocked when i went this round, the place has been renovated. And with all places being renovated, it means only one thing, price went up, inflation is creeping in. Without no doubt, the quality of the food is still good, but i miss the old settings, crammed up, a unisex toilet in the restaurant(now it's only a female toilet left) and the slightly burnt smoked smell on my clothes when i leave the place. But hey, people gotta change, evolved and adapt to new times. Word of advice, please call and make reservations.

Ugglimuffins.com @ Toa Payoh, Singapore.

Did a pit stop at lorong 1, after the beef noodles soup to get some cookies. This stall is famous for their muffins, and yes it looks ugly, but taste damn good though.





Bought a 500gm macadamia cookie for 25 sgd. Not cheap, but after eating one, it's worth it. Each cookie contains one whole macadamia nut. And the cookie itself? Tasted like those expensive boutique cookies. This stall rocks, love it.
