Chee Cheong Fun @ Kedai Kopi Keng Nam, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.

I've been on this chee cheong fun/ccf craving for the longest time. This coffee shop is more well known for their curry mee and pulut kaya, but they also have a ccf stall inside. Woo hoo!


Check this baby out, Ipoh ccf, basic stuff, chilli, sesame seeds, fried shallots, oil and served with cut pickled green chilli. Lacking of looks but bursting with taste.


Pair it with white coffee, simple breakfast but a satisfying meal.

Hor Hee @ Restoran Li Heng Fatt, Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.

I was suppose to check out this place for brunch, but on a late afternoon dying of hunger, I decided to come here instead of joining the mad queues for brunch.


He he, and the place was quiet and so many empty tables yay! This was around 5ish-6 pm.


A bowl of hor hee, I opted for hor fun. Comes in a nice bowl of lightly flavoured broth, and generous amount of sliced fish cakes, fish balls, and I think was a fish wan ton. The whole package was just deliciously yummy goodness.


A glass of (correct me if I'm wrong again) umbra juice with sour plum. Sweet salty sour taste to the extreme but hits all the right spots.

Little Vietnam Restaurant and Cafe @ Guillemard, Singapore.

I've been eyeing this place for quite some time, and luckily it's one of those after work happy hours I managed to drag my friends here. Yay more food to order and sample:D


Fried spring rolls to share, quite tasty. Goes well with the beers.


Mango salad, I kinda liked this. It was so good my friend ordered another portion.


For mains, I ordered my usual favourite, mixed beef pho. The broth was light, but it still managed to capture the essence of the beef.


The killer dish of the night, fried quail. This tender juicy little bird is a must order, absolutely delicious.


Balitongs in thick spicy coconut gravy (reckon their version of masak lemak pedas). Quite good.


For desserts, another friend ordered this dish. I seriously don't know what's it called, I suspect some flour egg pancake based thingy. What a description right.

I like the ambience very much, casual no nonsense setting with a chill out vibe. Go for the outdoor tables as your seated next to the river and it feels like your not in Singapore.

Xin Heng Feng Guo Tiao Tan @ Whampoa Market, Singapore.

Once in while during happy hours a guy in the group will pull a stunt and suggest dinner, not every time it'll work as most of us will continue drinking and cab home, but this was the other time we succumbed to it and boy was the guy recommending it hit the spot. What's not to love a good pot of hot piping charcoal steamboat.



Unassuming stall in a hawker centre at night, where most of the stalls on this block was closed. It seems in the morning they sell fishball noodles and at night fishhead steamboat. Talk about enterprising.

We ordered dishes as well to complement the steamboat. This was the duck wings, looks simple but was flavourful.


Pickled vegetables, which paired with the hot steaming white rice, with the broth from the steamboat, just simple pleasures in life. Yummy!

Some tau pok, I'm just a sucker for tau pok, absolutely delicious as they soaked up the gravy.



And the star of the dish, batang fish steamboat. The broth packs a punch, portions was generous and damn it, I feel like going there again for dinner soon as I'm writing this.


Mystery bonus! One of my mates went to the other block and tapaued this orh luak(oyster egg omelette) to complement our dinner. This is one wicked awesome tasting orh luak. I shall be back to find out more on this dish.

Cantonese Porridge @ Old Airport Road Food Centre, Singapore.

If there's any particular porridge that I like, Cantonese style is my preference. I just love the gooey lumpy taste. I happened to chance this stall for breakfast at Old Airport Road Food Centre, and it's yummy!


You can choose what particular meat to go with your porridge, I opted for a sliced fish soup with century egg.


Comes with you tiao, add some white pepper and a dash of light soya sauce, lovely.


Portions were quite decent, and honestly, I skipped lunch after having this, aha:) Good stuff.

Red Hornbill Sarawak Kuching Laksa @ Bedok North, SIngapore.

When a friend mentioned to me Sarawak Laksa here in Singapore, I had to go check it out. Came here on a Sunday morning, and boy was the queue long.


They have kolo mee and soya sauce noodle on the menu, but I'm here for the Sarawak laksa! It's been quite some time since I had a good one.


5 sgd for this bowl, and talk about the portion, damn was it huge. Ample prawns and shredded chicken.


The taste is there, delicious, but the broth could use a bit more thickening. A satisfying bowl never the less.

Turkish Kebab House @ Suntec City, Singapore.

Craving for doner kebabs, and I know this joint serves a pretty decent doner.




This round I opted for a doner kebab on salad instead of the regular ones that comes with a wrap or on rice. Needed some greens heh. The meat is just beautiful. Honestly one of the better ones in Singapore when I need my kebab fix.


The baguette is not on the menu, which I decided to get from Pullman Bakery to complement my meal.
