Hainanese Chicken Rice @ Chatterbox, Mandarin Orchard, Singapore.

At long last, I've managed to check out the famous chicken rice at Chatterbox.


We ordered the taugeh/beansprouts to share. Quite decent, tasty, the ikan bilis added a nice touch.


The infamous chicken rice, chose the thigh part. Pricey, generous portions.


How did it fare? Good, but the price is a bit pricey, but heck I guess if you're situated smack in the middle of Orchard, the rental is expensive. Plus you pay for the comfort and convenience. The chicken was tender, succulent and the skin was delicious. The condiments and chilli packed quite a punch, the bowl of soup on the side was pretty pleasant.

Fried Mee Suah @ Katong, Singapore.

Was in search for a quick breakfast around East Coast, and after a few places Ali Baba Eating House at Katong had a few tables empty. There's a few stalls which is worth to mention here but as it was early, Yong Huat stall was open at this hour for breakfast. I ordered the legendary fried mee suah.



This guy really can cook a mean fried mee suah. The taste was just on a different level, maybe it's the oil, or was it the sambal, This is a very hearty meal. Portions are huge and it should fill you up for the next few hours or maybe to dinner. Love it to bits.

PS. Cafe @ Ann Siang Hill Park, Singapore.

What's not to love about brunch, comfort food nursing a hangover, with good conversation with a bunch of friends. I never knew of this place existence, until my friend called me over for brunch here. What a gem it was, decor was cosy, staff was attentive, and you know what's the best part, no children allowed, just nice when you have a bad hangover.




I'm a bit of a traditionalist, a good big breakfast which consists of sausages, beans, eggs (poached my favourite) mushroom and tomatoes with toasted bread. Portions is huge, taste wise pretty decent. Good stuff. They have an extensive menu and daily specials.

No Signboard Seafood Restaurant @ Geylang Road, Singapore.

Had some cravings for crabs, suggested to a mate of mine to No Signboard at Geylang. Its been awhile since I was back here, food was still good as I recalled last time.


 Fresh oysters to start, huge and tasted good.


I love bamboo clam, and this place does it well. Soya sauce, garlic, spring onions and tang hoon, excellent.

Seafood haw fun, the noodles had a bit of the wok hei. Good stuff.


 Salted egg yolk prawns, very very addictive, was slurping the gravy.


Their signature dish is the white pepper crab, my first time trying it as I'm accustomed to either chilli or black pepper crab. Boy oh boy, I think I've found another favourite crab dish. The taste is subtle yet it has a nice zing to it.

Ikoi Japanese Restaurant @ Hotel Miramar, Havelock, Singapore.

Ala carte buffet menu galore, and it's about time I went over and check this place. This place is normally packed, a reservation is recommended.


Some freshly cut sashimi, the usual stuff.


The one on the right is the crispy salmon skin roll, loved it.


Stir fry udon.


Some cherry tomatoes.


California maki, I kinda liked this. They do this well here.


I've recently learnt to appreciate shishamo. It has this rich taste and goes down well with beers.


Grilled mackerel, beautifully done.


Cold soba.


Grilled chicken skewer.


Curry on rice was good, only managed to had a spoonful, as by this round I was stuffed. Good place for a catch up with some friends over good food. I would definitely be back.

Elegant Inn Hong Kong Cuisine @ Menara Hap Seng, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Yeah, back here for the dim sums, this place has yet to disappoint me. My mate did the ordering so please forgive me which dish is which.


Some mushrooms and white bait fish deep fried. Good stuff, loved the white bait. Only missing is the beers to pair it with.


Chee cheong fun with something deep fried stuffing. This was absolutely stunning. You get the soft texture of the ccf and yet when you bite, you get the crunchy effect.


 Siu mai not bad.


 This is actually sinful, but it tasted damn good. Fried bread with prawn toppings.


Pan fried carrot cake, one of my old time favourites.


We had to order a second portion as the fried bread was delicious. There was actually more dishes, but we were happily eating till I forgot to take some pics. The food is good, a bit pricey but the quality is excellent. Oh the service is top notch. Kudos to the staff for a pleasant lunch.

Super Loco @ Robertson Quay, Singapore.

Mexican food craving, and had to test this place out based on the good reviews, and boy were they right.


A michelada concoction which consists of beer, tomato juice, lime and spices. quite a refreshing drink actually.


 hmm, I forgot what is this, can somebody help me out, but I recall it taste damn good though.


Ceviche de Mango, the only dish I was actually aiming for, and boy was it good. Good stuff.


 A fish taco, quite good actually. Had some other variation of tacos, still good.


Quesadillas, can't recall which one though, but I remember it was good.


And the last dish of the night, my friend ordered this, a beef dish with some marination, very well executed.  The ambience is nice, food is good, and the staff us super friendly. Good place for a chill out session.
