Pondok Ambeng @ Joo Chiat Complex, Singapore.

Back to my nasi padang cravings, I went and check out this stall at Joo Chiat Complex. Geylang Serai can be packed on weekends, and luckily this food court has lesser human traffic.

The usual works on display at the stall, I was actually tempted to try other dishes, but hey, if the stall is called Pondok Ambeng, I have to try their signature dish called nasi ambeng.

Rice with taugeh on top, pickled vege on the side, some tofu and beef rendang. Top it up with some nice sambal belacan, an all rounder kick ass awesome meal. I can't wait to be back and try their other dishes.

100g Korean Charcoal BBQ Restaurant @ Amoy St, Singapore.

Korean bbq, my friend introduced me to this place, and hands up, one of the best korean restaurants I reckon. They use real charcoal!

The starter salad was awesome.

It's not korean bbq unless you get the complimentary sides. The kimchi was good, tofu silky smooth., the white pickled radish yummy.

Makoli to wash down the grease, plus alcohol and bbq pairs very well, heck everything taste well with a bit of alcohol:)

Marinated beef with some nice marbling. It just melts in the mouth. Delicious.

The pancake was another dish I liked, generous on the ingredients.

The kimchi soup was full of flavour and have a nice spicy tang to it. Another dish I have no complains. Basically I didn't find any fault in all the dishes. Good stuff, another favourite joint I'll be back for my korean bbq cravings.

Old Bibik's Peranakan Kitchen & Gallery @ Changi Road, Singapore.

At last, managed to check out this place to satisfy my rendang cravings.

The menu is quite extensive, should have brought more people to try out the dishes.

As I was alone today, ordered the beef chicken rendang set, comes with acar/pickled vege, sambal and another type of vege. The rendang was good, the chicken meat was tender, easily came off from the bone and the beef, yummy.

Liu Da Ma Charcoal BBQ Restaurant @ Geylang Road, Singapore.

Managed to coerce a colleague of mine to check out this place, it has been on my radar list for quite some time. Beers and grilled meat? What's not to love.

The menu is quite extensive. Meats meats and meats.

Harbin beer, yummy.

Ok we were lazy, and we told em to bbq it instead of doing it ourselves on the table. Point to note, I reckon you should bbq yourselves so you can control the texture of the meat:)

I actually found this dish to be refreshing, a cold noodle.

We ordered a bunch of grilled skewers, I honestly don't know which is which. The food is good. Bring a bunch of people, order loads, order more beers, good fun for a night out.

Min Kee Hainanese Chicken Rice @ Amoy Street Food Centre, Singapore.

Found another gem in Amoy Street, was actually craving for fish soup but the stall was closed for the day. Saw this stall with a few people queuing, decided to check it out.

Boneless chicken rice! For lazy people like me:)

I went a bit overboard as I couldn't decide roast or white chicken, took half and half instead. I'm happy the uncle obliged.

Both was actually good, definitely gonna order this combo next round. Flesh was juicy and succulent. Rice was just nice, and the chilli delicious.

Gandhi Restaurant @ Little India, Singapore.

In need of a banana leaf fix, I'm very thankful I met this guy that recommended this place. It was totally out of my radar, and boy have I found a rustic good old school banana leaf indian rice.

Ok I forgot which one was this, definately a chicken, think was a masala. Spicy just the way I like it.

A standard banana leaf rice, veges, papadam and rice, and just have generous amounts of curry on top. Add on a slice of fried tenggiri fish. The curry was a stellar here, good stuff. Tenggiri reminds me of the old school type the way they fried it. Add some yoghurt/thairu on the rice mix it with curry, pure comfort food. Next round I shall try the fish cutlet and fried chicken.

Little Creatures Brewery Great Hall @ Fremantle, Australia.

A must visit at Freo is the Little Creatures Brewery. Awesome place with good beers and bar grubs. I loved my previous visit at the Melb branch, and this place is bigger, livelier and nicer scenery.

Heh I was here two days in a row to sample the beer, my personal favourite is the pilsner, bright ale, white rabbit pale ale and the pipsqueak apple cider.

View is gorgeous.

Not bad for a weekend lunch crowd huh, packed.

Some greens for starters, a rocket salad. Can't go wrong here as the ingredients are fresh.

Marinated octopus was ok, I expected more. The oysters was absolutely brilliant.

Loved the mussels, Grab some bread and dunk it in the broth. Ask for extra spicy for the added kick.

Salami pizza a bit heavy on the crust, but tasted damn good though.

The aftermath of the mussels and had to take another pic of the beer. I loved the atmosphere here, no frills, good beers, good food with excellent company. Everything was perfect, what a good day to spend my weekend.
