Rickshaw Noodle @ Maxwell Food Centre, Singapore.

Haven't been to Maxwell quite some time, love to come here for breakfast, always something new to try. And this particular time, this stall caught my eye, there's always a few people queuing for it.




I decided to take away, basically choose your sides, they'll fry it on the spot, took a squid fillet and this funky round thingy stuffed dumplings plus bee hoon and mee mix.


For 2.50sgd this is damn good for a breakfast. Love the funky round thingy, dunno what's it called. The fried bee hoon and mee was nice. Squid fillet, well, as usual taste pretty normal.

Mr and Mrs Moghan's Super Crispy Roti Prata @ Joo Chiat, Singapore.

Was in the neighbourhood after runnin errands. Been here once, prata was good, and I dare say, it still is.


Ordered one plain prata, and the other onion with egg prata. They gave me dhall, i forgot they have curry as well, first time i had it was with fish curry, curry is good. But surprisingly, the dhall was equally good, and boy when u add the sambal chilli, heaven on earth. The prata is crispy, really good. One of my favourite stalls for prata.

Ramen Matsuri @ Boat Quay, Singapore.

Still on my ramen cravings, the next night after Menya Musashi, i headed over to Boat Quay for dinner. Colleague of mine mentioned this place, did some online search, they serve chicken based soup ramen, called Sakura Chicken Ramen. They claim that the chicken they used are not fed with antibiotics and hormones, nice!


I ordered a rich soup base with tamago, portions are decent, the eggs was runny but I have to say the broth is super duper delicious.


Added fried garlic for the zing, and yes this bowl satisfied my ramen cravings. The shop is small and cosy, staff is courteous and friendly. I'll definitely be back again. They have other soup base as well, which I shall try!

Menya Musashi @ VivoCity, Singapore.

I think Menya by now has 4 branches in Singapore. The first being in Raffles City. This round i tried the Aburi Black Chicken Ramen.


The broth is excellent, toppings are abundant. Everything was perfectly executed except the egg, wasn't runny that much. One of those days i guess. Now, the chicken is delicious, and the skin yummy! Next time i shall try the tsukemen. I'll be back.

Wah Lok Cantonese Restaurant @ Carlton Hotel, Singapore.

Dim sum for brunch at Wah Lok Cantonese Restaurant with good friends.


Chicken feet, sorry i'm not to hardcore to try this. Friends told me it was good.


Chee cheong fun was excellent, we ordered two portions one with prawns and the other with scallops, nicely done. Texture was silky, and the light soya sauce wasn't empowering. Carrot cake with xo sauce was good.


My bowl of hot and sour soup, spicy enough to cure my hangover aha.


 Ribs another good dish. Simple but yummy.


The pork bun/char siew pau was awesome, meat was nicely marinated. Not sure what the other dish is called, some sort of prawn dumpling, i find this my personal favourite, as you bite into it, you get the normal taste of prawn dumpling,  but there was something refreshing about it, might be the turnip or something.


Suckling pig and roast duck, duck was succulent.


Shark fin dumpling soup, had a taste of it, not bad.


Prawns in crispy tofu skin, another dish excellently executed.


And a bad picture of siu mai, friends was like trying to attack the dish before i can get a picture. All in all, a good dim sum restaurant so far i've tasted in Singapore(haven't been to a lot fyg). A bit pricey but you pay for the quality. I shall keep this venue for special occasions. I highly recommend this place, make sure call to get reservation.

Hwa Heng Beef Noodles @ Bendemeer Market, Singapore.

Beef noodles, simple dish yet comfort to the stomach. Again, I've heard so much about this stall, never set foot yet, but boy oh boy, my colleagues will tapau(takeaway) this once in a while for my lunch. Oh what wise colleagues i have:)


 Add a generous portion of the chilli,  on the dry noodles with thick gravy. A bit of soup with beef balls. The soup is wholesome, the broth is actually super awesome.


Now this is what it looks like after mixing the whole lot, thick bee hoon, beef slices, beef spare parts which consists of tendon and tripe. The dry gravy is a bit starchy coupled with the chilli, just pure goodness. I can literally eat this everyday. This beef noodles reminds me of the old school style which the newer hawkers seem to be missing an ingredient or two. I guess there's no shortcut to cooking a good dish.

Ban Mian @ China Whampoa Home Made Noodle @ Whampoa Market, Singapore.

I'll be honest, I haven't been to this hawker centre yet, but this is the second time my colleague tapaued(takeaway) for breakfast, and i had to rave on it.


Just a plain looking black noodles with prawns right? The noodles are al dente, loved the texture thick and chewy, prawns are decent size, the black sauce coupled with the awesome chilli is damn good. I have to reiterate, the chilli is damn good. The whole mixture has a nice balance to it and i can't stop eating it, the chilli just make it too addictive. You'll definitely break a sweat eating this.
