Stanley Street Stall @ Central, Hong Kong

Wanted to taste some local style HK food for dinner, and nearby to LKF for after dinner drinks. This stall is basically in an alley with typical outdoor sitting. I miss this type of old school environments. Good food, back alley, surrounded by locals buzzing and chit chatting.


Just a stall churning out all the dishes.


They have an english menu.


Some blue girl beer to line up the stomach.


Scallops with garlic, soft nooodle (i think its tang hoon). I find it absolutely excellent.


Overview of the dishes we ordered. The squid was alright, or maybe the beers killed my tastebud, aha.


Beef omelette, think was beef brisket they used. Nice, goes well with the rice, comfort food.


Another beef dish claypot style with some tendons, oohhhhh the tendons just melt in your mouth. This was my second star dish for the night.


And again i had to take a pic, i would say this was my star dish for the night. the scallop was yummy, coupled with the garlic and soft noodles. I am seriously craving for this dish again as i'm writing this. Excellent, one of the better ones i've tasted from a road side stall, or in this case, an alley!

Opposite No 82, Stanley Street,
Central, Hong Kong.

p.s. sorry i'm not sure whats the stall is called, just look out for the signage as my first pic.

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.
